9、ion of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take

10、 life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs. Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement.

11、This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.In addition the government could take responsibility for the care

12、of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions. Furthermore, some institutions should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a tru

13、ly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.To sum up, all

14、 these options have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.4.

15、s to an important social problem.B. To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people.C. To point out the need for government support for old people.D.

18、 the problems of the old.D. Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people.CJosh Morrison, 17, dreamed of raising $100,000 to build a home for a low-income family.

28、 and personal value for us.

30、lavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider ra

31、nge of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.We should embrace our heritage（传统）through our cultures food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food.
