     When first entered, Vanak Restaurant does not look like much of a restaurant, but once the pleasant
smells of kabob(烤肉串)hit the senses, you are incapable of calling it anything less.
     Owned by a local couple, this Persian restaurant has an inviting, homelike atmosphere that many
restaurants lack.
     The space is small with only a few dining tables and nearly no decoration, but the environment is truly
charming.
    Lying in a hardly noticeable street corner, the restaurant still attracts all customers, especially those
experienced in the delights of Middle Eastern cooking.
    A common sight is that of old Persian men sitting in the corner talking loudly about world topics,
watching news events on TV, drinking a black tea known as Persian chai, and reading local Persian
newspapers all the while trying to finish off their plates piled with food.
     The variety of food at the restaurant is limited, but the amount of each dish is fairly large.Most of the
meals can serve two people and are under $10, so not only is it affordable but practical as well.
    The food especially appeals to healthconscious eaters because each dish is very healthy, made with
limited fat and oil and served straight off the grill (烤肉架).
     The main dish that the restaurant is popular for is its kabobs, which are different styles of grilled meat.
    One delicious and extremely healthy dish is the Joojeh Kabob, which is made of grilled chicken pieces
served with either rice or bread.Another great kabob is the Chelo Kabob, a kabob consisting of grilled
beef.

How Long Can People Live?

　　She took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age 114, and held a concert in the neighborhood on her 121st birthday．

　　Whe n it comes to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world’s recordholder．She lived to the ripe old age of 122．So is 122 the upper limit to the human life span(壽命)?If scientists come up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150－or beyond?

　　Researchers don’t entirely agree on the answers．“Calment lived to 122, so it wouldn’t surprise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135,”says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas．

　　Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees．“People can live much longer than we think,”he says．“Experts used to say that humans couldn’t live past 110．When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to 120．So why can’t we go higher?”

　　The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it’s all just guessing．“Anyone can make up a number,”says Rich Miller at the University of Michigan．“Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine．”

　　Won’t new anti-aging techniques keep us alive for centuries?Any cure, says Miller, for aging would probably keep most of us kicking until about 120．Researchers are working on treatments that lengthen the life span of mice by 50 percent at most．So, if the average human life span is about 80 years, says Miller,“adding another 50 percent would get you to 120．”

　　So what can we conclude from this little disagreement among the researchers?That life span is flexible(有彈性的)，but there is a limit, says George Martin of the University of Washington．“We can get flies to live 50 percent longer,”he says．“But a fly’s never going to live 150 years．”

　　“Of course, if you became a new species(物種)，one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story,”he adds．

　　Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve(進化)their way to longer life?“It’s pretty cool to think about it,”he says with a smile．
