First, there are more chances 　37　 finding wonderful jobs. Second, if you like shopping, you 　38　 find shops here and there. The things in them are nice and cheap. Is life 　39　 in the city than that in the countryside? When you're children, you may think so.

On my way to the 　41　 where my mother was staying, I felt worried about my mother. Rushing into the sickroom, I saw my mother with short hair 　42　 on the bed in a mess, and in her arms a little baby was crying. Then I noticed my little 　43　 — a cute and small baby who was like a toy with a swollen(肿胀的) face. Seeing him, I thought everything was just like a dream. I didn't 　44　 him. Everyone congratulated me on the 　45　 of my little brother, but I didn't feel happy. I couldn't imagine(想象) what life would be like living with a baby. Anyway, my life in a two－child family began. Every morning at 5, I would be woken up by his crying. Then I had to play with him and try my best to make him 　46　. Yes, I had to act like a big sister. At first, I was tired of this, since it isn't an easy job to 　47　 a baby. But one day, while we were playing in front of the mirror, I smiled at him and suddenly he 　48　 back. Melted(融化) by his cuteness, my heart was full of happiness. All my tiredness was gone. I realised that living with a baby wasn't 　49　 terrible. I found that life was more 　50　 after his birth. I also realised how hard my parents must have worked when I was a kid. I love my family even more.　 The only－child days in my family are gone. I am starting an unforgettable journey in my life with my dear brother excitedly.

With the development of science, it's possible for both the young and the old to enjoy life. Culture also works in its way to care for the old. In China, people share the idea that the old are keepers of wisdom and 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, most of the old live in their own houses and enjoy living by themselves. Old people worked hard and did a lot for the country when they were young. Naturally, they can live the way as they like and get better homecare services to keep healthy. To improve independent living, Singapore is building more friendly communities(社区) for the old. People doing different jobs like policemen, shopkeepers and students also get training 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 centre. A society that allows the old to live well is what we are looking for. Let's work hard together.
