How long do you think you will live? Many people don't think they will live a long life. How long will you live?
Probably much longer than you think.
In 1992, the University of Michigan's Health and Retirement Study asked 26,000 Americans over the age of 50 the chance of living to the age of 75. Now, researchers at the Brookings Institution checked the results to see if they were right.
In 1992, seven percent of respondents (應(yīng)答者) gave themselves “zero” chance to reach 75. But in fact, nearly half lived to 75 or longer. Is it amazing?
Among respondents who gave themselves a 50 percent chance of living to 75, 75 percent lived to that age or longer.
And among those who said they were completely certain of living to the age of 75, nearly 8 in 10 did.
“In general, people wildly underestimate (低估) their chances of reaching 75, but you in fact can live longer than you think,” a researcher wrote on the blog. You'll probably live much longer than you think. Life expectancy (預(yù)期壽命) in the United States was 78.74 years in 2012, according to World Bank data, and 71 years worldwide.
"There is no clear relationship between how long people think they'll live and how long they actually do. We don5t know the reason of file results. Maybe people's life quality changes a lot but they don't realize,” the researcher said. In fact, respondents who gave themselves a 10 percent chance of living to 75 had at least a 60 percent chance of doing so.
Do you think that you511 live to 75? Just believe that you have a 90 percent chance, and you may probably do.

【解析】你會(huì)活多久呢？美國的一個(gè)研究證明了大多數(shù)人會(huì)比自己認(rèn)為的要活得長。
（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從seven percent of respondents (應(yīng)答者) gave themselves “zero” chance to reach 75.可知有7%的人，總數(shù)是26,000 Americans，26000=1820，故選D。
（2）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第3到5段說的是調(diào)查的結(jié)果，故選B。
（3）細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。從Life expectancy (預(yù)期壽命) in the United States was 78.74 years in 2012, according to World Bank data, and 71 years worldwide.可知句子是一般過去時(shí)，說明調(diào)查結(jié)果的檢查是2012年以后，故A錯(cuò)誤。
（4）主旨概括題。短文第一段點(diǎn)出了文章中心：你會(huì)活多久，接下來講了一個(gè)關(guān)于這方面的調(diào)查，故答案選C。
