27．Summary Writing
Living to 100 Since the mid 1950s，life expectancy around the world has increased dramatically，and many scientists believe that this trend is likely to continue in the future.The main reason for the increase during this period was the decline in infant mortality （死亡）.Fewer children died at an early age，and this was mainly because of improved healthcare and better food production.
Most experts believe that people will continue to live longer in the future because of medical advances.Researchers predict that at least half of the North American and Japanese babies born since the year 2000 will live to an age of 90，and ten percent to 100 years old.Furthermore，new drugs are being developed which will slow down the ageing process.These will be available in a few years，and they will enable people to live 20 years longer.
If the current older populations in many countries become healthier，wealthier and live longer，the trend will have important consequences for people and governments.The cost of medical care for older people will rise，and governments will have to start thinking hard about how to fund state pensions for older citizens.Some people will want to keep on working later in their life，which could lead to changes in the age of retirement in many countries.Others would prefer to retire early to enjoy having more time for themselves.This will create business opportunities for companies in the leisure and entertainment industries and open up new segments of the market.The effect on the world population will be great.Europe's population has been in decline for several years now as people prefer to have fewer children and families tend to be smaller.However， "the population will not decline as anti-ageing drugs start to become widely available"，as an expert on population，Professor Shripad Tuljapurkar，says in his recently-released book.組卷：1引用：1難度：0.5
