Life expectancy is the period of time that a person can expect to live Life expectancy varies greatly between genders and cultures It used to be that women had a lower life expectancy than men
(1 in every 4 women died in childbirth), but now they live an average of four to five years longer than
men Life expectancy has been increasing rapidly over the last centuries With the advent of such modern miracles as sewers, medicine and a greater understanding of how diseases are spread, our life expectancy has increased by 25 – 30 years
In developing countries like Swaziland, where there is a high HIV/AIDS rate, life expectancy
is as low as 32,6 years In developed countries like Australia, life expectancy rates as high as 81 years There are an increasing number of factors which can cancel out the disadvantages you have The one that we are looking at now is how your career can affect your life expectancy Choosing the wrong career can result in a shorter life!
If you want your career to positively influence your life expectancy, you have to be made of money That’s right Rich people in wealthy areas of England and France live 10 years longer than the people in poorer areas Having a successful career has its drawbacks, too if the result of hard work its stress
Stress can lead to a number of psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, fatigue, tension and aggression These conditions may result in a lack of concentration and an increase in serious injuries at work They can also lead to high blood pressure and heart attacks which seriously affect life expectancy
If you are worried that your job might decrease your life expectancy, you probably need to avoid careers on “dangerous jobs” list such as timber cutters, pilots, construction workers, roofer, truck drivers
So if you don’t want to kick the bucket at an early age, choose a career in something other
than timber cutting, but above all, remember to relax

Rent control is the system whereby the local government tells building owners how much they can charge their tenants in rent In the United States, rent controls date back to at least World War II
In 1943 the federal government imposed rent controls to help solve the problem of housing shortages during wartime The federal program ended after the war, but in some locations, including New York
Trang 5City, controls continued Under New York's controls, a landlord generally cannot raise rents on apartments as long as the tenants continue to renew their leases In places such as Santa Monica,
California, rent controls are more recent They were spurred by the inflation of the 1970's, which,
combined) with California's rapid population growth, pushed housing prices, as well as rents, to
record levels In 1979 Santa Monica's municipal government ordered landlords to roll back their
rents to the levels charged in 1978 Future rents could only go up by two-thirds as much as any increase in the overall price level
In any housing market, rental prices perform three functions: (1) promoting the efficient
maintenance of existing housing and stimulating the construction of new housing, (2) allocating
existing scarce housing among competing claimants, and (3) rationing use of existing housing by potential renters
One result of rent control is a decrease in the construction of new rental units Rent controls
have artificially depressed the most important long-term determinant of profitability - rents.
Consider some examples In a recent year in Dallas, Texas, with a 16 percent rental vacancy rate but
no rent control laws, 11,000 new housing units were
built In the same year, in San Francisco, California, only 2,000 units were built The major difference? San Francisco has only a 1.6 percent vacancy rate but stringent rent control laws In New York City, except for government-subsidized construction, the only rental units being built are luxury units, which are exempt from controls In Santa Monica, California, new apartments are not being constructed New office rental space and commercial developments are, however They are exempt from rent controls
Question 55: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A The construction of apartments in the United States
B Causes and effects of rent control
C The fluctuations of rental prices
D The shortage of affordable housing in the United States.
Question 56: The word "They" in paragraph 1 refers to _
A the tenants B their leases C places D rent controls.
Question 57: Which of the following was NOT a reason for the introduction of rent controls in Santa
Monica, California?
A Rapid population growth B Inflation
C Economic conditions during wartime D Record-high housing prices
Question 58: The phrase "roll back" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to
Question 59: The word "stimulating" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _
Question 60: It can be inferred that the purpose of rent control is to _
A protect tenants B promote construction
C increase vacancy rates D decrease sales of rental units
