Around 100 years ago people lived to the age of 30 on average. Now more and more people are
reaching their 100 th birthday. Why is life expectancy increasing globally- and what is the secret to
“ageing well”?
Average global life expectancy is currently 71.5 years. Japanese women live longer than anyone else in
the world, with an average life expectancy of 87. In Sierra Leone, on the other hand, men and women live
only to the age of 50 on average. According to the Berlin Institute for Population and Development,
people in the predominantly wealthy regions of the world live 17 years more on average than those living
in Africa.
The age we live to depends primarily on where and how we live. People die earlier in countries that are
badly affected by hunger and armed conflict and that have only poor health care facilities. Here,
infectious can rapidly become fatal, and women also die much more frequently during childbirth. On the
other hand, people live longer if they are prosperous and educated and have access to health care services.
But affluence also carries its own risks that reduce life expectancy- if people smoke, abuse alcohol and
drugs, eat an unhealthy diet, don’t take enough exercise or are overweight.
Over the next fer years, the propoption of the world’s population aged over 60 will increase
dramatically. The main reason why these people live to an advanced age is better medical care. What is
more, in industrial and emerging economies at least, fewer and fewer people have to engage in hard
physical labour to earn a living, which means that they stay physically fit for longer. But average life
expectancy is also increasing because the rate of infant mortality has fallen across the world.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
The world is fast growing, with Artificial intelligence (AI) at the forefront in changing the world
and the way we live. An important question: What is AI? For many people, it remains unclear what this
technology is all about, so this is a good place to start the conversation. AI is a branch in computer
science that deals the intelligent behavior of machines. It is an ingeniously stimulated ability of a
machine to imitate human behavior and our conventional response patterns. This means that with AI,
many of our everyday activities can now be carried out effectively by programmed machine technology.
The use of AI in organizations, governments, security frameworks, enegy and natural resource
management, etc, is drastically on the rise. This leads us to acknowledging the center of focus for AI
developers. Most AI developers are now ultimately directed towards achieving a basic goal. They are
charged with responsibility or building AI models that would aptly substitute direct human efforts. This
need comes in recognition to the inadequacies of human labor efforts, which are characterized by
inaccuracy, inefficiency and other failures. For example, artificial intelligence has been pointed at to
possess the potential for more accurate medical practices. Thus, you can be sure of a more accurate
surgical procedure using this framework than is currently available by most humans. Hence, we can say
that the opposites of the inadequacies of human efforts are precisely the benefits of artificial intelligence
to our world.
Using AI, more people would be able to step down on having to carry out so many tasks by
themselves. With a personal assistance AI, we will be able to remove the more mundane tasks from our
lives. For instance, there may be no need to go to the grocery store, meet with an appointment, or make
that deadline yourself as your AI assistant knows just what to do, and when to do it. However, the AI
would only function according to its developed programming. Hence, one AI may be programmed to
work on multiple assignments, while another may be far narrower in scope of application.
