  America is growing older Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65, The aging of the population will affect(影响)American society in many ways education, medicine, and business Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society "one" in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior(行为)is suitable(合适)at various ages

  A person's age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health There's no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn't as strong as it used to be It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man Who has become a father for the first time Public ideas are changing

  Many people say 'I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age' No one says 'Act your age' anymore We've stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways

1It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America ______

[  ]

Ahas made people feel younger

Bhas changed people's social position

Chas changed people's understanding of age

  Blue interrupted,“You only think about the   2  , but consider the sky and the sea.  3   the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea.Without my peace, you would all be   4  .”

  Yellow chuckled(笑道),“You are all so serious.I bring laughter, fun, and   5   into the world.”

  Doing as they were told, the colors   18   and joined hands.They formed a colorful rainbow.From then on, whenever a good rain   19   the world, a rainbow appears in the sky.They remember to   20   one another.
