If you, a man, are looking through this, congratulations: you are a survivor (幸存者). According to a survey, you are more than twice likely to die of skin cancer than a woman, and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. If you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you will die on average five years before a woman.
There are many reasons for this. Men take more risks than woman and are more likely to drink and smoke—but perhaps more importantly, men don’t go to the doctor.
“Men aren’t seeing doctors as often as they should.” says Dr. Gullotta,“This is particularly so for the over 40s, when diseases tend to strike.”Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45, it should be at least once a year. Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed(延迟) doing anything about his smoker’s cough for a year. “When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer.”he says.“Earlier finding and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have made him live longer.”
According to a recent survey, 95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group.
“A lot of men think they are strong enough. While some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know. Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies.” Dr. Gullotta says. He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be found out by check-ups. Regular check-ups for men would place strain on the public purse, Gullotta says. “But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to cure the diseases. Besides, the final/highest cost is far greater: it is called premature death(过早死亡).”

From the first paragraph, we can know that _________.

What is a more important reason for man’s death?

Why does the author take a 50-old-man as an example?

What can be drawn from the last paragraph?

Nowadays, ads are playing an important part in our lives. 无论我们去哪里都能发现他们。I did some research on advertisements。我有些重要的信息同大家分享。
One of the aims of ads is to persuade people to buy products or service or believe in an idea. So in this way, maybe the contents of some ads are not true and likely to use words of tricks for us to fall for them. So, with so many ads around, we should be smart about what to buy.
Not all ads play tricks on us though. The ads called public service advertisements may not be the same. They are meant to serve us and teach us and help us to lead better lives. PSAs are often placed in public places for free. They deal with widespread social concerns, which often benefit the public. Such as, ‘Yes to life, no to drugs’ and ‘Knowledge changes life.’  All of these ads are helpful, and you can learn a lot by following the advice they give.
