Health researchers have noticed that some groups of people are more consistently healthy than others, and wondered… Is it race? Income? Where you live? In the
In her most recent paper, Meara looked at data from the
“We looked at life expectancy（预测寿命）at age 25,” Meara says.
“How many additional years can you expect to live if you arrive at age 25 and your education has stopped at high school, or sooner? Versus how many years, can you expect to live if you've reached aged 25 and you've gone on to at least some college…”
Meara says they found that in 1990, a 25-year-old who only had some secondary school could expect to live for a total of 75 years. In 2000, a 25 year old with some secondary education could also expect to live to the age of 75.
In contrast, for a better educated 25-year-old, they could expect to live to the age of 80 in 1990. Someone with a similar education level in the year 2000, could expect to live to be more than 81 years, 81.6 years to be exact .
Meara says, not only do better-educated people live longer to begin with, but in the past ten years, more educated people has made gains in the length of their lives. Meanwhile, the life expectancy hasn’t changed for less educated people.
Some of these gains can be explained. Meara says researchers know that people who are more educated are more likely to quit smoking cigarettes, or not start at all, compared to people with less education.
“I think it's a reminder not to be satisfactory," Meara says. "Just because a population overall appears to be getting healthier, it doesn't always mean that those advantages and successes that many people have enjoyed really extend into all parts of the population. And I think that's something to really pay attention to regardless of whether you live in the
Meara points out that education can often determine income - people with more education frequently make more money. This makes them aware of health care, and purchase other resources and services that can keep them healthier. But the data on income do NOT show that people who make more money are automatically healthier.
Meara says education is key. People need to be educated in order to take advantage of opportunities for better health.

I moved to a new neighborhood two months ago. In the house with a large 36 across the road lived a taxi driver, a single parent with two school-age children. At the end of the day, he would 37 his taxi on the road. I 38 why he did not park it in the garage.
Then one day I learnt that he had another car in his garage. In the afternoon he would come home 39 work, leave his taxi and go out for his 40 affairs in his other car, not in his taxi. I felt it was 41 .
I was curious to see his personal car but did not make it until I 42 to be outside one evening two weeks 43 , when the garage door was 44 and he drove out in his “own” car: a Rolls-Royce（劳斯莱斯）! It shook me completely 45 I realized what that meant. You see, he was a taxi driver. But 46 inside, he saw himself as something else: a Rolls-Royce owner and a（an）47 . He drove others in his taxi but himself and his children in his Rolls-Royce. The world looked at his taxi and 48 him a taxi driver. But for him, a taxi was just something he drove for a living. Rolls-Royce was something he drove for a（an） 49 .
We go to bed every night and 50 every morning as parents or children, not as bankers, CEOs or professors. We go for a 51 as close friends or go for a vacation as a 52 . We love life as it is. Yet often, we base our entire happiness and success on how high we 53 the social ladder―how much bigger and better a 54 we have. And we ignore our Rolls-Royce, by keeping it dusty in our garage. We should focus more on 55 we are than what we do!
