Vocabulary

park the car= 停车
ex: there’s no place to park the car, you need to park 500 meters away from the office.

I don’t think it’s true. The statistic of China death rate is not a very complete data. Maybe they only calculate the death rate of people who live in cities, excluding the people who live in mountains.
maybe its correct because the people in big city now focus on the health problem a lot than before. They usually pay attention for their daily diets and their weight and even they have medical health check each year. I think you should live with high quality, it’s the first priority. If you can live to 100 years old, but you can just sleep on the bed, it’s boring. You have energy to do every kinds of things you want to do, you will not be affect by your body issue. First you need to have enough money, you need to pay attention to your health problems and keep slim. Don’t drink cola everyday. Don’t eat very high fatness good. Take sport everyday.

For children, I think there’s no very big difference for Chinese and American children. It’s just a different diet hobby. In Japan, their food is very clean, they eat very little, they usually eat white meat instead of red meat. The food quality in Japan is better than China.

Revised

I don’t think it’s true. The statistic of the death rate in China is not  very complete data. Maybe they only calculate the death rate of people who live in cities, excluding the people who live in the rural areas.
maybe its correct because the people in big city now focus on the health problem more than before. They usually pay attention to their daily diets and their weight and they even have medical health check ups each year. I think you should live with high quality, it’s the first priority. If you can live up to 100 years old, but you can just sleep in the bed, it’s boring. You should have energy to do every thing you want to do, you will not be affected/influenced by your body issue. First you need to have enough money, you need to pay attention to your health problems and keep slim. Don’t drink cola everyday. Don’t eat high carb food. do sport everyday.

I think there isn’t a very big difference for Chinese and American children. It’s just a different diet hobby. In Japan, their food is very clean, they eat very little, they usually eat white meat instead of red meat. The food quality in Japan is better than China.

Children born in China have for the first time overtaken their American counterparts when it comes to healthy life expectancy. Figures released by the World Health Organisation show that newborn babies in China can expect 68.7 years of healthy life, compared to 68.5 years for American babies.

This is the first time China has overtaken America for healthy life expectancy. The US came 40th in the rankings overall, while China came 37th.

Children in the US can expect to live longer overall (78.5 years compared to 76.4 years for China), but the last decade of life in America is likely to be unhealthy.

The US is one of just five countries to see healthy life expectancy fall in 2016, according to the data. The other countries seeing a drop were Somalia, Afghanistan, Georgia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

China’s overall life expectancy is also creeping up to that of the United States and could overtake by 2027, according to Reuters calculations from the report. Having peaked in 2014 at 79 years, America’s life expectancy is falling due to drug use, suicides and health problems synonymous with poorer areas.

Babies in Singapore fair the best, with a prediction of 76.2 years of healthy life. Singapore is followed in the rankings by Japan, Spain and Switzerland, respectively.

Japan has the world’s longest overall life expectancy at 84.2 years. Babies born there in 2016 will likely be the first to ring in the new century.
