As is the case with developed countries, China faces an aging society. People are living

41、 longer and having fewer children. Therefore many Chinese families are falling into a 4-2-1 family pattern: a couple raises one child and supports four elderly parents.

42、he Information Office of the state council, Chinas cabinet, issued a white paper on measures China is taking to help its elderly population.

43、 percent of the entire population. By the end of 2005, China had nearly 144 million people over 60, accounting for 11 percent of the population, according to the white paper.An expanding aged population inevitably means that many issues must be settled, as the problem concerns every aspect of societ

44、y. It puts more pressure on each family, causing disturbing economic consequences and serious social problem concerns every aspect of society.

49、的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。We all have goals that we are moving towards and making a great effort to achieve. This is a good thing. Or can it be bad? How many of us never reach our goals and yet we have tried so hard and really thought about nothing else? I believe the mistake m

50、ost of us make is that we do not focus on our present situation.Let me explain. Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone that we use simply as a means of reaching our final destination. We dont take time to truly appreciate where we are today and all the great things we already have

51、in our lives. We should focus our attention on the journey and not on the destination, or we will miss the beautiful scenery along the way. Lets use our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion. We have plans to become the manager or general manager in our companies. Unfortunately, most of

52、 us will never reach the goal, but will watch others achieve our goal instead. What we should be doing is focusing on the job we are currently in now. Forget where we want to get to and just focus on the present. You see, what we can control is our performance in our current job. We can decide to be

53、 the best we possibly can in our current job. Now this may mean further education to have the skills we currently do not have. It may mean working harder to produce better results than our colleagues. It could simply be a change of attitude, such as stopping complaining and becoming a more devoted a

54、nd supportive employee. By doing our current job to the best of our abilities, we in fact give ourselves the best chance of promotion. So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we are now. Do the best and be the best we possibly can in our

55、current situations, and we will give ourselves the very best chance of reaching our goals in the future. We have heard the old sayings and they are true: “Rome wasnt built in a day.”, “Patience is a virtue”, and so on. Have patience, have appreciation of what we already have, and take time to help o

56、urselves be the very best we can. Do these things and we will all reach our goals, but more importantly, we will enjoy our life every day.Title Focus on the presentTheme To (76) _ our goals, we should focus on what we have and where we are now.Common (77)_We do not focus on our present situation.
