10.Yesterday the police were joined by more than 20volunteers in the continuing search for the two missing teenagers,Vicky Gray and Tom Hunter,and their guide,Gavin Jones.The police said that they had disappeared during an adventure tour of Cape York Peninsula.This was the second day of the search and the police were now very worried about the safety of the three missing people.
The police said that the search had covered a wide area,but the rainforest was thick and their work was made harder by the recent rain.Later on Chief Inspector (警官) Roger Fleet said,"The travelers had a radio with them.If they had been in trouble,they would have called us."
The three travelers left Cooktown very early on Saturday morning in a Toyota car.They took a small dirt road that runs down to the Daintree River,a dangerous river full of crocodiles (鳄鱼).Chief Inspector Roger Fleet said the tourists wouldn't have got into trouble if they had stayed on the main road.
A photo of Vicky and Tom was found by a policeman under the"Be Careful about crocodiles"sign near the river.Why was the photo left behind?This is just one of the unanswered questions.Other questions are:Why was the Toyota parked and locked at the edge of the rainforest?The police said that the travelers had left a map of the area behind.Why?Why had someone drawn a cross on the place where the car is?Is this a sign?What does it mean?If anyone can give information or has seen these three young people,contact the local police in Cooktown.

A serious problem for today's society is who should be responsible(有责任的) for our elderly and how to improve their lives.It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society.I would like to suggest several possible ways to this problem.
First,employers(雇主) should take the responsibility for their retired(退休的) employees.To make this possible,1% of profits(利润) should be left for this purpose.But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees,it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage because of higher employee costs.
Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual(个人).This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement.This does not seem a very fair model since some people find that it's difficult for them to pay for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years.This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.
In addition,the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly.The government could provide more money through government taxes to increase the level of pensions(养老金).What's more,some institutions(社会福利机构) should be created for senior citizens,which can help provide a comfortable life for them.Unluckily,as the present situation in our country shows,this is not a truly practical answer.The government doesn't have enough money to care for the elderly,particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.
One further solution is that the government or social organizations set up some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.
In short,all these measures have advantages and disadvantages.Therefore,we are expecting to combine(结合)these measures so that we can provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.
| Title | The elderly should be (62)taken more care of. |
| Topic | Who should be (63)responsible to improve the lives of the elderly? |
| (64)Suggestions/Solutionsto the problem | ★(65)Companies/Employers. should give 1% of profits to their employees,but this may cause a commercial (66)disadvantage. |
| ★Some individuals should save during his working years to pay for the years when he is retired,but the others have (67)difficulty paying for their daily life. | |
| ★More (68)money could be provided through government taxes to increase the level of pensions.However,when the government is busy trying to look after the young,it can hardly (69)afford to care for the elderly. | |
| ★Workplaces for the elderly should be (70)built/created by the government or social organizations. | |
| Conclusion (总结) | We are expecting to combine these measures in (71)order to provide the care for the elderly |
