  “Hey, little buddy, will you support me when I'm getting old?” Han Wenshan, 35 years old, asked his new-born baby as he picked him up at home.

  The Chinese tradition of raising sons to support parents in their old age has been weakened by the rapidly growing economy and improved standard of living.As is the case with developed countries, China faces an aging society.People are living 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.But few realize this problem.

  The aging of the population is a trend that now affects a growing number of countries.Not long ago, the Information Office of the state council, China's cabinet, issued a white paper on measures China is taking to help its elderly population.The paper said China's population entered the aging phase(阶段)at the end of the 20th century as the proportion of people aged 60 and above accounted for over 10 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 society.It puts more pressure on each family, causing disturbing economic consequences and serious social problem concerns every aspect of society.It puts more pressure on each family, causing disturbing economic consequences and serious social problem.It also challenges the labor force supply and the pension(养老金)system.

  “I used to think that it's not an issue for me to provide for the aged.” said Han, whose parents and parents-in-law all enjoy pensions and medical insurance.But last year Han's father suffered a serious illness and afterward Han began to feel the pressure on his shoulders.

Our listener question this week comes from Abdullahi Farah, who wants to know about the life and work of Doctor Benjamin Carson.

Doctor Carson is an internationally recognized doctor at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. He has been the director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the hospital for twenty-five years. At the age of thirty-three, he became one of the youngest doctors in the United States to hold that position. And he was the first African-American to have that position at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Ben Carson is known for his work as a brain surgeon for children. For example, in nineteen eighty-seven, he led a team of seventy doctors and nurses in an operation to separate two babies joined at the head. Earlier attempts by other surgeons on other babies had failed. Doctor Carson successfully performed the operation. Both babies were able to survive independently.

Doctor Carson has written four books. His first book, "Gifted Hands," tells the story of his life. Benjamin Carson was born in nineteen fifty-one in Detroit, Michigan.

As a boy, Ben was not a good student. In fact, he was the worst in his class. When his mother learned of his failing grades she asked her sons to read two library books every week. She limited the amount of time they watched television. And she told them to respect every person.

Ben Carson soon became the top student in his class. He went on to study at Yale University, one of the best universities in the country, and later to medical school at the University of Michigan.

Doctor Carson has received many awards and honors. Last year he received the nation's highest civilian honor. Former President George W. Bush presented Benjamin Carson with the Presidential Medal of Freedom at a ceremony at the White House.
