Life Expectancy in the Last Hundred Years

  A hundred years agolife expectancy in developed countries was about 47: in the early 21st century, men in the United States and the United Kingdom can expect to live to about 74. Women to about 80, and these    1    are rising all the time. What has brought    2    these changes? When we look at the life    3    of people l00 years ago, we need to look at the greatest    4    of the time. In the early 20th century, these were the acute and often     5     infectious diseases such as smallpox. Many children died very young from these diseases and others, and the weak and elderly were always at risk.
  In the    6    world these diseases are far    7    today, and in some cases have almost disappeared. A number of    8    have led to this: improvements in sanitation and hygiene, the discovery and use of antibiotics, which    9    bacterial diseases much less dangerous, and vaccinations  10  common diseases.    11   , people"s general health has improved with improvements in our general environment: cleaner air, better means of preserving foodbetter and warmer housingand better understanding of nutrition.
  Geneticallywe should all be able to live to about 85 but    12    people do live longer today, there are still some big killers around that are preventing US from consistently reaching that age. The problems that affect people today are the more chronic illnesses, such as heart disease and strokes, and those    13    by viruses, such as influenza and AIDS1. Of course, cancer is a huge killer as well. In most cases these diseases affect    14    people, but there are worrying trends in the developed world with problems such as obesity    15    more heart disease and illnesses such as diabetes at younger ages.
  The killers today can be classed as "lifestyle diseases"which means that it may be possible to halt their progress.

The Value of Motherhood

    In shopping malls, the assistants try to push you into buying "a gift to thank her for her unselfish love". When you log onto1 a website, a small pop-up2 invites you to book a bouquet for her. Commercial warmth and gratitude are the atmosphere being spread around for this special Sunday in May.

     ____1____The popularity of Mother"s Day around the world suggests that Jarvis got all she wanted. In fact, she got moreenough to make her horrified.

    ____2____They buy, among other things, 132 million cards. Mother"s Day is the No 1 holiday for flower purchases. Then there are the various commodities, ranging from jewelry and clothes to cosmetics and washing powder, that take advantage of the promotion opportunities. Because of this, Jarvis spent the last 40 years of her life trying to stop Mother"s Day. One protest against the commercialization of Mother"s Day even got her arrested-for disturbing the peace, interestingly.

    ____3____As Ralph Fevre, a reporter at the UKnewspaper The Guardian, observe, traditionally "motherhood is something that we do because we think it"s right." But in the logic of commercialism, people need something in exchange for their time and energy. A career serves this purpose better.

    ____4____So they work hard and play hard. Becoming a mother, however, inevitably handicaps career anticipation. 

    ____5____According to The Guardian, there are twice as many child-free young women as there were a generation ago. Or, they put off the responsibility of parenting until later in their lives.

    So, Fevre writes that the meaning of celebrating Mother"s Day needs to be updated: "It is to persuade people that parenting is a good idea and to honor people for their attempt to be good people."
