　　this chart shows that one’s lifetime earnings are closely linked with one’s physical institution and education. as a rule, the young make more money than the old. people at the age of 20 to 30 are in their prime of life. when they are strong and energetic, they can work more and, as a result, earn more. people at the age of 40 to 50 earn less than those in their twenties and thirties. people in their sixties earn the least of all.

　　it is also illustrated in the chart that the better one is educated, the more his lifetime earnings are. a high school graduate earns more than the one who has less than a high school education, but less than a college graduate. so one’s lifetime earnings are in proportion to one’s education.

　　in my opinion, in this highly competitive society, i’d rather get good education before i work. if people on the average are satisfied with a master degree, i’d like to be a doctor degree. accordingly, if many people have a doctor degree, i’d like to be a post doctorate. then i’ll be a cut above others in income and in knowledge.

       according to the chart showing the grain harvests of countries z and m from 1977 to 1979, 1977 was the best year because the outputs of both countries were the highest. the total yield of country z reached 450 millions of bushels while the record of country m was 400 millions of bushels. whatever happened to the two countries in the following year is unknown, but obviously both countries, especially country z suffered a severe setback in production in 1978: the annual output of country z, sank to 270 millions of bushels, forming only three fifths of the 1977 record. country m was no better, too. its total harvests in the year were 80 millions of bushels less than the previous year. fortunately, the year 1979 witnessed a significant revival in agriculture for both countries z and m, whose grain harvests rose to 400 and 380 millions of bushels respecitively. either the total harvests increased or decreased, the production of different crops in the two countries remained consistent throughout the three years. wheat and corn were the two major crops in both countries, but country z seemed to rely more on wheat whereas country m on corn.
