38. A. Honestly B. Yet C. Apparently D. Unfortunately
Read the following passage and mark the letterA, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Life expectancy is the period of time that a person can expect to live. Life expectancy varies greatly between genders and cultures.It used to be that women had a lower life expectancy than men (1 in every 4women died in childbirth), but now they live an average of four to five years longer than men. Life expectancy has been increasing rapidly over the last centuries.With the advent of such modern miracles as sewers, medicine and a greater understanding of how diseases are spread, our life expectancy has increased by 25-30years.
In developing countries like Swaziland, where there is a high HIV/ AIDS rate, life expectancy is as low as 32.6 years.In developed countries like Australia, life expectancy rates areas high as 81 years.There are an increasing number of factors which cancancel out the disadvantages you have. The one that we arelooking at now is howyour career can affect your life expectancy. Choosing the wrong career can result in a shorter life!
If you want your career to positively influence your life expectancy, you have to be made of money. That's right. Rich people in wealthy areas of Englandand France live 10 years longer than thepeople in poorer areas. Having a successful career has its drawbacks, too if the result ofhard work is stress.
Stress can lead to a number ofpsychological disorders such as depression,anxiety, fatigue, tension and aggression. These conditions may result in a lack of concentration and ani ncrease in serious injuries at work. They can also lead to high bloodpressure and heart attacks which seriouslyaffect life expectancy.
If you are worried that your job might decrease your life expectancy, you probably need to avoid careers on "dangerous jobs" list such as timber cutters, pilots,construction workers, roofer, truck drivers.
So if you don't want to kick the bucket at an early age, choose a career in something other than timber cutting, but above all, remember to relax.
