[单项选择]Life expectancy in the richest countries of the world now exceeds the poorest by more than 30 years, figures show. The gap is widening across the world, with Western countries and the growing economies of Latin America and the Far East advancing more rapidly than Africa and the countries of the former Soviet Union. Average life expectancy in Britain and similar countries of the OECD was 78.8 in 2000-2005, an increase of more than seven years since 1970-1975 and almost 30 years over the past century. In sub-Saharan Africa, life expectancy has increased by just four months since 1970, to 46.1 years. Narrowing this "health gap" will involve going beyond the immediate causes of disease-poverty, poor sanitation and infection—to tackle the "causes of the causes" —the social hierarchies in which people live, says the report published by the Global Commission on the Social Determinants of Health established by the WHO in 2005.

[简答题]Life Expectancy
A greater number of people are now hitting the eighty-year mark than ten years ago. In fact, the life expectancy of the average human has gone up considerably and is rising still. This encouraging phenomenon is the result of many factors. Advancement in technology, improved quality of life, and people’s rising awareness about health are all conducive to prolonged lives.
Scientific and medical breakthroughs ensure that patients receive proper and timely treatment. As people learn more about the human body, medical institutions and services become better equipped to tackle various health problems. Diseases such as cancer, which used to result almost inevitably in death, are now largely curable, provided they are diagnosed at an early stage. Tuberculosis and cholera now cause fewer deaths than in the past. Thanks to new drugs, therapies and vaccines, fewer people fail victim to the diseases that once threatened human lives. With advanced facilities, infectious

If life expectancy were a marathon, the United States is
fading from the pack. Although everyone is living longer, the inhabitants of
other industrialized nations have made more dramatic strides in life expectancy
than Americans have, which consequently leads to the result that Americans, who
are once on par with Italy and New Zealand in the middle of the pack now rank
below Spain and Greece near the end.
On the face of it, this
shouldn’t be happening.
Healthier nations are usually wealthier
nations. The United States ranks only after Luxembourg and Norway of the 30
richest nations belonging to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD), but it now ranks 22nd in life expectancy.
The problem could be anything but inadequate healthcare spending. The US
spends $1 of every $7 of its gross domestic product on healthcare, more than any
other OECD nation that typically devotes less than $1 in $10 of GDP to the
