Ⅲ. 任务型阅读
An ageing population is now a world-wide problem. Many countries are looking for ways to give the old better care.
Some developed countries don’t have enough care workers for the old. To solve the problem, Caring Robots have been made in Japan and are playing a part in looking after the old. With the development of science, it’s possible for both the young and the old to enjoy a better life.
16
Culture also works in its way to care for the old. In China, people share the idea that the old are keepers of wisdom. So young people should look up to them and take care of them. It is helpful for the old to live together with the young with such an idea.
Many old people hope to live independently and freely. In Sweden, old people worked hard and did a lot for the country when they were young. Naturally, they can live the way they like and get better home-care services to keep healthy.
17
To improve independent living, Singapore is building more friendly communities for the old. People doing different jobs like policemen, shopkeepers and students, are trained to help the old. They help with the housework such as cooking and cleaning. In this way, old people can stay at home, not in a nursing center.

Because of the
large population, there is less living space for each family. And it’s
difficult for lots of people to find jobs. The large population also
causes many other difficulties for the whole nation. For example, we
are short of energy and water. Most cities are more crowded than
before, and the traffic is much heavier. The large population has
become a serious problem.

The population problem in China is really serious, so I think the government should find out more ways to solve it. I believe we can make it.
