How long do you think you will live? Many people don't think they will live a long life. How long will you live?
Probably much longer than you think.
In 1992, the University 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, researchers at the Brookings Institution checked the results to see if they were right.
In 1992, seven percent of respondents (应答者) gave themselves “zero” chance to reach 75. But in fact, nearly half lived to 75 or longer. Is it amazing?
Among respondents who gave themselves a 50 percent chance of living to 75, 75 percent 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 underestimate (低估) their chances of reaching 75, but you in fact can live longer than you think,” a researcher wrote on the blog. You'll probably live much longer than you think. Life expectancy (预期寿命) in the United States 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 actually do. We don5t know the reason of file results. Maybe people's life quality changes a lot but they don't realize,” the researcher said. In fact, respondents who gave themselves a 10 percent chance of living to 75 had at least a 60 percent chance of doing so.
Do you think that you511 live to 75? Just believe that you have a 90 percent chance, and you may probably do.

Read what these people said about a restaurant and answer the questions.

Is Goodies good?
7:02 P.M.

Does anyone know about Goodies next to the Mad-Eye Theater? I want to go there with my friends this Saturday. Thanks!

RE: Is Goodies good?
7:30 P.M.

My dad took me there yesterday. I don't know if it's expensive. He paid. The food was fine, not the best, though. But you must try its papaya (木瓜) ice cream. I just couldn't get enough of it! Dinner is 50 cheaper if you eat there on your birthday.

RE: Is Goodies good? 8:11P.M.

Its food is good but its waiters are not. For that price, I think you should go to Awe's. It's a little far from the theater, but the waiters there are friendly, and the food is wonderful. It's celebrating its fifth birthday, so lunch is only half price this week.

It's the best restaurant I've ever been to. It's a little expensive. But it costs 100 less for lunch. Crazy_P is right about the papaya ice cream.
