It is true that times are changing for the old people in Britain. But not all the changes are bad ones. Modern medicine,for example,has made old people h 1       than ever before. Another advantage is that there are m 2       more old people than there used to be. Old people,too,have more money than their o 3         parents and grandparents had.

  The b 4       problem of modern life for old people is loneliness. The young leave home when they grow up and many old people live a 5       Fewer old people have brothers and sisters like their parents and grandparents. An old person's one or two children may have m 6      to another part of the country. Even when they live nearby,the young people have their own work to do and their own c 7       to look after. They have not much time for the old. Problems of loneliness often start when they s 8       work. When people retire,they find it difficult to start a new life without their jobs.

  The world has changed so fast since 1900 that it is d 9       for old people to understand the problems of the young. And the world is changing even faster these days than fifty years ago. It makes you think,doesn't it? What will it be like when t 10      young people are old?
