發(fā)展中國(guó)家健康狀況上升
Health Gains in Developing Countries
From the graph we can see the health gains in developing cotmtries. In l960, the average life span or life expectancy was only 40 years old. In 1990, after thirty years, the life expectancy rose to 60. At the same time, with the life expectancy going up, the infant mortality is coming down. In 1960 the infant mortality was 200 deaths per 1000 births. That is, about 200 infants died at birth among 1000 babies born. In 1990, the infant mortality declined to 100 deaths per 1000 births.
What are the reasons for this situation? I think it lies in three respects. First, economy is developing as time progresses. People am better off than before. Second, education plays an important role. People are better educated and more civilized. They are more aware that good health ensures success in life and work, Third, the government pays more attention to the protection of the environment. More measures are being taken to deal with the problem of pollution. That is why life expectancy is on the rise and infant mortality on the decline.
發(fā)展中國(guó)家健康狀況上升
從表中可以看出，發(fā)展中國(guó)家健康狀況正在上升。1960年，平均壽命或期望壽命僅為40歲。30年后的1990年，增長(zhǎng)到60歲。同時(shí)，隨著期望壽命的增長(zhǎng)，嬰兒死亡率下降了。1960年的娶兒死亡率為千分之二百，就是說(shuō)，在l000個(gè)新生兒中有200個(gè)死亡。1990年的嬰兒死亡率已降到千分之一百。
這種狀況說(shuō)明了什么?我認(rèn)為有3個(gè)方面。首先，隨著時(shí)間的推移，經(jīng)濟(jì)在發(fā)展，人民比以前富裕了。其次，教育起著重要的作用。人民受到更好的教育，更文明，意識(shí)到良好的健康狀況是生活、工作成功的保證。第三，政府更加重視保護(hù)環(huán)境，采取更多措施治理污染問(wèn)題。這就是期望壽命上升、嬰兒死亡率下降的原因。
