You probably have noticed it: Chongqing's population has been aging fast. According t China's latest national census ( 人 口普查), up to 23.4 percent of the city's residents ( 居 民) are aged over 60. This number is expected to grow even further in the coming years.

Chongqing is not alone. Many other cities around the world have been experiencing this same problem for some time now. Some people are worried about this. The elderly, they say, do very little for the nation's economy (经济). The government, however, has to give them lots of retirement benefits (退休福利). But a recent survey shows that many people agree there are some positives to having an aging population.

With an aging population, younger people will have more chances to meet seniors in their daily lives. With age comes wisdom. Through usual communication, the elderly can bring a wealth of a useful life lessons to younger people. The young, at the same time, are  given  chances  to  see  things  from  a  completely  different perspective (视角).

Besides, in many cultures, it's normal for elderly parents to live with their children under the same roof. Their children may have already reached adulthood, but these gray-haired men and women continue to play an important role in their development. In some families, the elderly are taking care of their grandchildren. It's reported that half of all the children in China's cities live with their grandparents and are raised under their guidance. Thanks to this free childcare, working parents can contribute more to the economy.

An aging population is often considered to be a headache. But perhaps it can be argued that there are also some benefits to it.

 阅读短文,从所给的四个选项中,选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

English is very important to us. Here are two tips of learning English.

Read an English book, newspaper or magazine.

Reading is a necessary part of learning a new language, so don't forget to read! Find something you are really interested in whether that's a famous English novel, a copy of The New York Times, or a fashion magazine, and then start working your way through it. If you find the content(内容) boring, you will be less inclined(倾向于······的)to continue with it.

Again, make an active effort to actually understand what you're reading;don't just skim over it. Mark any words or phrases that you don't understand, and then look them up in the dictionary.

If you're alone, you could also try reading aloud. You will get the benefits of reading aloud.For example, this will allow you to improve your reading comprehension(理解力)as well as your pronunciation.

Keep a diary in English.

Besides reading and listening comprehension,you should also spend some time improving your written English skills. This may be one of the most difficult aspects of your language learning, but it is really important. Writing in English will help you to work on your sentence structure,grammar and spelling.

Try to keep an English diary in which you write down a few sentences every day. It doesn't have to be deeply personal. You could write about the weather,what you ate for dinner or what your plans are for the day.If you feel comfortable with it, get a native speaker to look over what you've written and check it for any mistakes. This will help you to avoid making the same mistakes over and over again.
