With the help of science, the human lifespan keeps rising. However, the real question is if it can go on forever.
Professor Jan Vigo and his team believed that an age limit really exists, so they studied how long the
supercentenarians lived. The information on these “super” people helped the team to find out the human lifespan
may be limited to a maximum of about 115 years, and that is almost impossible for most people to get to. Until
now, there has been only one person to do that. Her name was Jeanne Calmest, and she died at the age of 122 in
1997. This also shows that women are more likely to live longer than men.
By studying people over 110 years old, the team has found that the maximum lifespan hasn’t gone up since
the 1990s. The main problem is aging. If we can find a way to stop it, we won’t have to worry about the limit to
human lifespan.

Brexit: United Kingdom Leaves European Union
On June 24, 2016, the United Kingdom (UK) voted to leave the European Union (EU), sending the
global market into chaos, leading Prime Minister, David Cameron, to give up his job, and causing a shock
wave across the world. The voters gave support to a British exit (a “Brexit”) from the European Union, and
then the whole country voted again on it. The result showed 51.9% of people agree to leave the EU, while
48.1% of people wanted to stay. The British people have different ideas; many of the people in London,
Scotland, and Northern Ireland think staying is better.
The UK is the first out of the 28 member countries to leave the EU. The British pound dropped to its
lowest since 1985. About 64% under 30-year-old people wanted to stay in the EU because they don’t want to
lose job opportunities in Europe, and 56% of people over 56-year-old voted to leave.
To leave or not to leave, it’s not an easy question. (References: CNN June 26, 2016)
