How long will you live Maybe much longer than you think.
In 1992, the College 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, nearly 22 years later, researchers at the Brookings Institution checked the results to see if they were right.
In 1992, 7% of respondents (应答者) gave themselves “zero” chance to reach 75. But in fact, nearly half lived to 75 or longer.
Among respondents (调查对象) who gave themselves a 50% chance of living to 75, 75 % 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 underestimated their chances of reaching 75,” a researcher (研究者) writes on the blog. You’ll live much longer than you think. Life expectancy in the USA 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 usually do.” the researcher said. In fact, respondents who gave themselves a 10% chance of living to 75 had at least a 60% chance of doing so. Do you think that you’ll live to 75 Just believe that you have a 90% chance, and you may do.

One possible version：
Mary and grandma have different lives.
Mary has only one child who has been given good education. On the contrary, grandma has five children who have no chance to go to school. Because of the financial hardship, the life of fifty years ago for grandma was always tough. Sometimes she and her children had to bear starvation, inconvenient traffic and a low house with a narrow bedroom, in which several children had to live.
As the society develops, Mary can live in the modern building which has lifts. What's more, eating better, going somewhere by air or subway has become her lifestyle. However, new life faces new problems, such as air pollution, traffic jam and so on.
In a word, life nowadays is quite different from before.
