【参考范文】Looking up Health Information on the lnternet
As we can see from the chart above, in the United States in 2012, a lit-tle less than a half of men looked up health information on the Internet, whilemore than half women did the same, especially women aged between 25 and34. However, a majority of adults over 65 would not like to do so.
Two conclusions can be drawn from the survey. One is that adults below 65years old are more concerned with their health than aged adults. It's not difficult tospeculate the reason: middle aged adults have to stay healthy to support the family,so they care very much about their own health conditions. The other conclusion isthat women care more about health than men do. The reason might be somethinglike this: women are more sensitive and more vulnerable to diseases.
In my opinion, it's necessary for adults to care about their health condi-tions, but looking up information on the Internet is not a smart choice. It's bet-ter to go to see the doctor when you feel uncomfortable.
