About six years ago,I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City 36 a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table.I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation.At one point the woman asked:“So, 37 have you been?”And the boy,who 38 more than seven or eight years old, 39 ,”To tell you the truth,I’ve been feeling a little depressed( 忧郁)lately.”
His words 40 in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. 41 I can remember,my friends and I didn’t find out we were“depressed” 42 we were in high school.
The evidence of 43 in children has increased steadily in recent years.Children don’t seem 44 any more.Children speak,dress,and behave more like adults than they used to.
45 this is good or bad is difficult to say,but it certainly is different.Childhood 46 it once was no longer exists.Why?
Human development is based not only on born biological states,but 47 patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social role from another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status.Children have always been taught adults’ 48 ,but slowly and in stages: traditionally,we tell the sixth graders things we keep 49 the fifth graders.
In the last thirty years, 50 ,a secret - disclosing machine called television 51 installed in 98 percent of American families.It passes information, and indiscriminately(不加区别地),to all viewers alike,without considering they are children or adults.Unable to resist the temptation,many children 52 their attention from printed texts to the less challenging,more vivid moving pictures.
Communication through print,as a matter of fact, 53 a great deal of control over the social information 54 children have access.Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced.Children must read 55 books before reading complex materials.

A serous problem for today’s society is who should be responsible 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 solutions to this problem.
First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. 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 have enough trouble paying 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. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions. Furthermore, some institution should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young. One further practical solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.
To sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.
73. Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word " viable ".
