任务型阅读。

     Without changes, our lives would be very boring. It would be like listening to the same song on
your MP4 player over and over again.
     Some people don't like changes. They want to do the same things and see the same people every
day. ①当事情变化时,这让他们感觉不舒服. It's like some children. If all their toys aren't in their
places, they can't go to sleep. However, changing is a big part of life and we all change in small ways
every day. The young get stronger and the old get weaker. We meet new friends or we get new
hobbies.
     You'll go through many changes in your life. In America, some people change jobs over ten times
during their lives. Some change their homes many times. They like changing because they think it
improves their lives.
     ②China has seen many changes in recent years and most of them are very good. People are
healthier and they're living longer. People have more money and more food, and they also get a
better education. Children are growing taller and the children in Shanghai are now the tallest in China.
Changes have been good for China and they'll be good for you.
