U.S.Life Expectancy Hits New High
Life expectancy rates in the United States are at an all—time high,with people born in 2005 projected to live for nearly 78 years,a new federal study finds
The finding reflects a continuing trend of increasing life expectancy that began in 1 955,when the average American lived to be 69.6 years old.By 1 995,life expectancy was 75.8 years,and by 2005,it had risen to 77;9 years,according to the report released Wednesday.
“This is good news,”said report CO—author Donna Hoyert ,a health scientist at the National Center for Health Statistics.“It’S even beer news that it is a continuation 0f trends,SO it is a long period of continuing improvement.”
Despite the upward trend,the United States still has a lower life expectancy than some 40 other countries,according to the U.S.Census(人口普查)Bureau. The country with the longest life expectancy is Andorra at 83.5 years,followed by Japan,Macau,San Marino and Singapore.
Much of the increase owes to declining death rates from the three leading causes of death in the country—heart disease,cancer and stroke.
In addition,in 2005,the U.S.death rate dropped to an all—time low of less than 800deaths per 100,000.
Dr.David Katz。director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University School of Medicine,said,“News that life expectancy is increasing is,of course,good.But the evidence we have suggests that there is more chronic disease than ever in the U.S.”
Adding years to life is a good thing,Katz said.“But adding vital life to years is at least equally important. If we care about living well,and not just longer,we still have our work cut out for us.”he said.

Passage 3
It’s logical to suppose that things like good labor relations, good working conditions, good wages and benefits and job security motivate workers, but one expert, Fredrick Herzberg argued that such conditions do not motivate workers. They are merely satisfiers. Motivators, in contrast, include things such as having a challenging and interesting job, recognition and responsibility. However, even with the development of computers and robotics, there’re always plenty of boring, repetitive and mechanical jobs and lots of unskilled people who have to do them. So how do mangers motivate people in such jobs? One solution is to give them some responsibilities, not as individuals, but as a part of a team. For example, some supermarkets can buy office stuff to people who fill the shelves, and the people who work at the check out into a team, and let them decide what product lines to stock, how to display them and so on. Many people now talk about the importance of a company’s shared values or culture with which all the staff can identify, for example, being the best hotel chain, or making the best, the most user-friendly or the most reliable products in a particular field. Such values are more likely to motivate workers than financial targets which automatically only concern a few people. Unfortunately, there’s only a limited number of such goals to go around and by definition, not all the competing companies in that industry can seriously plan to be the best.
