答案 Rise in Chinese people’s Lifespan It is interesting to observe that the lifespan of us Chinese people has been on a steady increase over the past 60 years. Back in the 1940s, people in our country lived to be only 45 on average. But 20 years late, 15 years were added to this life expectancy. This rising trend continued in the following years and the latest census indicates that the lifespan of China has risen to 73. How should we account for this great change? First of all, the living conditions in our country have become increasingly better, which is the material foundation for a long lifespan. Secondly, China has made great progress in medical technology and many diseases are no longer so mortal as before. Equally important, China, with its comprehensive national strength improving, is better able to deal with natural disasters and avoid wars. It is good to see this rise in our life expectancy. And there is good reason to believe that we will live even longer. But together with the longer lifespan will be a greater number of senile people. How to address the needs of more old people is gradually becoming a daunting challenge for our whole society.

解析     第一段开头一句是粗线条地告诉读者这几个数据反映了什么趋势。然后是三句话简要描述了中国人不同年代的不同寿命。
    第二段是分析原因。作者提出三个重要因素:生活水平、医疗水平以及对付自然灾害和避免战争的能力,并作出了简要的说明。如,生活水平提高是构成长寿的物质基础;医疗水平进步让很多疾病变得不再致命;中国的综合国力提高让我们对付自然灾害和避免战争能力也提高了。
    最后一段是作者发表评论并作出预测——我们寿命还会更长。但文章还理性地提出,如何满足越来越多的老年人的需求将构成我们全社会的重大挑战。
    文中的黑体词和短语是值得读者借鉴的。
