个单词。The population of the United States is growing older and will continue to do so. According to a report,___39___million Americans will be 65 or older by the year 2010,___51___million by 2020, and 65 million by 2030.

The “graying” of the United States is mainly due to the fact that people in the U. S. are living longer. As a matter of fact, the number of U. S. citizens 85 years old and older is growing six times as fast as the rest of the population. It is also largely due to the old-growing of the “baby boomers”, the generation born after World War II. In 1957, over 4. 3 million babies were born. More than 75 million Americans were born between 1946 and 1964, the largest generation in U. S. history. In less than twenty years, millions of them will become elderly people.

The “graying” of the U. S. will greatly affect the nation’s family and workforce. One likely development will be a gradual change in the family unit; it will move away from the nuclear family and towards a multigenerational family. The other likely development will be a change in the proportion(比例) of the nation’s workforce. In 1989 there were 3. 5 workers for every person 65 and older; by the year 2030, there will only be 2 workers for every person 65 and older.

Dear Sir or Madame,

I’m very glad to be invited to the English summer camp.

I prefer to go in July because I’ll have to prepare myself for the new school term in August. It seems all the activities you offer are attractive and meaningful. But I’d like to attend the English lectures, from which I can get more information on British and American culture. With the coming of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, more and more foreigners are eager to know about China. So I hope to teach foreigners Chinese and spread Chinese culture.

It’s been a dream for me to visit Beijing. Could you organize a tour around the city during the camp?

Thank you very much.

Yours truly,

Li Ping
