初中英語作文：Living Longer活得更久

　　In the past it was not uncommon for a man to die at forty, having lived a full life.But now we consider a lifespan of forty years to be very short.It is not unusual for people to live into their eighties and nineties, and some even reach 100.What’s more, people are living long, healthy lives and are active well into their “golden years”.

　　以前的人活到40歲就過完一生而死亡是很平常的。但是現(xiàn)在，我們認(rèn)為40歲的壽命很短。人們活到八十幾歲、九十幾歲，有些甚至到100歲，是很平常的。而且，人們還能活得久而且又健康，精力充沛地邁入他們的“黃金時代”(退休期)。
