  When I came back to China, some people asked me why overseas Chinese men seldom marry Western women.Below are several reasons according to my own experience.

  1.Most overseas Chinese are the first generation(一代)of immigrants(移民).They usually live in Chinatowns.They have few chances to get along with westerners.So they have almost no chance of marrying Western women.Certainly, the second generation of immigrants is doing a better job.They have more chances to meet Western women, so the chances for them to marry Western women are greater.

  2.Most overseas Chinese still keep to the old family tradition that it's their parents who decide their marriages.The overseas Chinese who come from mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong usually do not know Western culture well.They won't like it if their children marry Western women who speak a different language.

  3.Those Chinese who have lived in North America for only a short time usually have a limited income(收入).They have the wrong idea that whites must have a very high income, so Chinese men prefer to make friends with Chinese women who have the same background.

  4.Whites are usually taller than Chinese.Chinese men generally don't like the women who are bigger than them.What's more, in the Chinese men's mind, Western women are generally quite open.Well, these features are generally not adored by Chinese men.Therefore, while short-term dating with Western women is common, few relationships end up with a marriage.

How Long Can People Live?

  She took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age 114, and held a concert in the neighborhood on her 121st birthday.

  Whe n it comes to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world’s recordholder.She lived to the ripe old age of 122.So is 122 the upper limit to the human life span(寿命)?If scientists come up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150-or beyond?

  Researchers don’t entirely agree on the answers.“Calment lived to 122, so it wouldn’t surprise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135,”says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas.

  Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees.“People can live much longer than we think,”he says.“Experts used to say that humans couldn’t live past 110.When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to 120.So why can’t we go higher?”

  The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it’s all just guessing.“Anyone can make up a number,”says Rich Miller at the University of Michigan.“Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine.”

  Won’t new anti-aging techniques keep us alive for centuries?Any cure, says Miller, for aging would probably keep most of us kicking until about 120.Researchers are working on treatments that lengthen the life span of mice by 50 percent at most.So, if the average human life span is about 80 years, says Miller,“adding another 50 percent would get you to 120.”

  So what can we conclude from this little disagreement among the researchers?That life span is flexible(有弹性的),but there is a limit, says George Martin of the University of Washington.“We can get flies to live 50 percent longer,”he says.“But a fly’s never going to live 150 years.”

  “Of course, if you became a new species(物种),one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story,”he adds.

  Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve(进化)their way to longer life?“It’s pretty cool to think about it,”he says with a smile.
