A hundred years ago, life 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【C1】______are rising all the time. What has brought【C2】______these changes? When we look at the life【C3】______of people 100 years ago, we need to look at the greatest【C4】______of the time. In the early 20th century, there were the acute and often【C5】______infectious diseases such as smallpox.
