题目内容
7.At the moment,it may be difficult to imagine,but many people believe that,by the year 2100,we will live on the planet Mars.Our own planet,Earth,is becoming more and more crowded and polluted.Luckily,we can start again and build a better world on Mars.First of all,transport should be much better. At present,our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars-it takes months.However,by 2100,spaceship can travel at half the speed of light.It might take us two or three days to get to Mars!
Secondly,humans need food,water and air to live.Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars.These plants will produce the food and air that we need.However,can these plants produce water for us?There is no answer now.There is a problem for us to live on Mars.Mars suck us much less than the Earth does.This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space.To prevent this,humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.
Life on Mars will be better than that on Earth in many ways.People will have more space.Living in a large building with only 10bedrooms is highly possible.Many people believe that robots will do most of our work,so we have more time for our hobbies.
There will probably be no school on Mars.Every student will have a computer at home which is connected to the internet.They can study,do their homework and take exams in online schools.Each student will also have their own online teacher called"e-teacher".
However,in some ways,life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today.Food will not be the same-meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today.Also,space travel will make many people feel ill.The spaceship will travel fast,so the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.

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 |
