最近美国退休者协会对全美各地不同宗教信仰和经济背景的上千名６０岁以上老人作了一项专题调查，结果令人吃惊。在接受调查者中实际上只有２成的人表示愿意活到百岁，而占一半的人认为能活到九旬己足够了。进一步的调查又证实，老人们不想成为人瑞的主要原因包括有害怕高龄时? Recently, the American Association of Retired People made a special survey of thousands of elderly people over the age of 60 in different religions and economic backgrounds in the United States. The result was surprising. In fact, only 20% of those surveyed said they are willing to live to a hundred years old, while half of them think that they will survive until ninety years. Further investigation confirmed that the main reason why the elderly do not want to be human beings is that they are afraid of old age.
