Health Gains in Developing Countries

In the last 30 years, the life expectancy has risen while the infant mortality has declined① in developing countries. In 1960, the life expectancy was about 40 years. And in 1990, it sharply increased to almost 60 years. On the other hand, the infant mortality was about 200 deaths per 1000 births in 1960 and the figure dropped to only 100 in 1990.

There are three major reasons② for the change. One is that the economy has developed quickly during the past years. This has allowed the government of the developing countries to put more money in the health care③ program, which plays an important role in changing people’s health conditions. And the popularization④ of education is also a good reason. People today are more careful about their health. In addition, we can’t ignore⑤ the assistance from the developed countries.

If all this continues, the health gains in developing countries will get even better. Accordingly, the life quality of the people there will be improved a lot.

【注释】

①declined: 下降

②major reasons: 主要原因

③health care: 卫生保健

④popularization: 普及

⑤ignore: 忽视

【简评】

这是一篇根据中文提纲和图表提示展开的说明文。写这类文章，首先要仔细研究中文提纲的内容和要求，再认真分析图表给出的信息，最后把二者结合起来考虑，领会其中的联系。只有这样，动笔时才会胸有成竹，从容不迫。

文章首先根据图表描述了发展中国家期望寿命值上升、婴儿死亡率下降的具体情况。接着分析了产生这些变化的原因：经济发展使政府增大健康投资；教育普及使人们关注健康；发达国家的援助不容忽视。最后作者对未来进行了预测：如果继续下去，情况将会更好。
