Carson proves that a simple lyric form that has been passed down through the ages can still 70 (employ) today to draw attention to important truths.

For Japan, the 58 (number) are more striking—22 in 1950, 46 today and 53 in 2050. In 2015, one in 12 people around the world were over 65; by 2050, it will be one in six.

This is 62 (particular) true in the US. The second reason is that people are living longer.

People tend to focus on the first factor. However, greater attention should 64 (place) on longevity (长寿). It isn’t just that people are, on average, living longer. It’s also that they are on average healthier 65 more productive for longer. Therefore, they can work for longer, consume more and in general be a boost to the economy.
