試題分析：這篇文章主要介紹了世界上最老的老人Ms. Baines慶祝了115歲生日，得到了奧巴馬總統的祝賀。Ms Baines去世了，現在日本女人Kama Chien，114歲，成了世界上最老的老人。
小題1:推理判斷題。根據She gained some fame when she voted for Mr. Obama in the US presidential election, saying she supported him "because he's for the colored people".句意：她在美國總統選舉時投票給奧巴馬，贏得了名聲。她說她支持他是因為他支持色種人。由此可知他為非裔美國人做好事。故選B。
小題2:推理判斷題。根據She once told an interviewer, "As to the secrets of long life, I do not have any disappointments in my own life."句意：有一次她告訴一個采訪者，“至于長命的秘訣的是我一生中沒有任何失望。”可知積極的人生態度是Ms Baines長命的主要秘訣。故選D。
小題3:推理判斷題。原文告訴我們她獨居是因為早年離婚，女兒18歲時死于疾病。并沒有說她喜歡獨居。故選A。
