答案 Aged People Tend to Live Alone Recent years have seen a tendency that more and more aged people prefer living alone. In the past, aged people would like to live with children and grandchildren. Aged people nowadays hope their married children would move to other places if possible. Why do aged people tend to live alone? The underlying reason is that, with the social and economic development, the old traditional idea of keeping several generations under one roof is to some extent unattractive. There are several other reasons. Firstly, many old people would like to enjoy their leisure time rather than busy themselves with heavy household chores. Some wish to travel around some scenic spots which they have long dreamed of. Some prefer to learn a new subject, painting for example, to enrich their lives. Secondly, guaranteed by social security and medicare, old people, most of whom still feel strong and healthy, do not need to be taken care of. Furthermore, by living alone they may avoid unpleasant quarrels because of the generation gap. Obviously, the aged people’s preference to living alone indicates the improvement of living standard and their new attitude toward life. However, living alone does not mean they refuse care and help from children or, happiness brought by their offspring. I believe they will have a better time if their emotional needs can be satisfactorily met.
