Old People in America(美國(guó)的老人)

     Old People in America
       In the old days,American families were bigger. People had more children,and grandparents and great-grandparents lived with their families. But now, families are smaller, and many old people
live alone. At the same time, Americans are living longer and longer. The number of old people is always growing.
      Some old people like to stay in their old homes. They do not want to move from their old homes. They do not want to move from their hometown. They are near their .friends and family. But some do not have a lot of friends. They want to meet new people. They want to live in a quiet place with other
people of their age.
     A large number of old people are moving to the South. It is warm there. You do not have to walk through the snow in winter,or pay a lot of money for heating.
     A large number of old people are moving to the South only for old people. One of these is Sun City, near Phoenix, Arizona. All the families in Sun City must have one person over the age of 50 ,and children under 18 years old can't live there.

美國(guó)的老人
    以前美國(guó)都是大家庭。人們孩子很多，祖父母和曾祖父母都和家人在一起生活。但現(xiàn)在，家庭越來(lái)越小，許多老人獨(dú)自生活。與此同時(shí)，美國(guó)人越活越長(zhǎng)。老年人的數(shù)目總在不斷增長(zhǎng)。
    有些老人喜歡呆在他們?cè)瓉?lái)的房子里。他們不愿意從舊房子里搬出來(lái)。他們不想離開(kāi)家鄉(xiāng)。他們想住在朋友和家人附近。但是有些老人朋友不多，他們想結(jié)交新人，他們想和其他同齡的老人共同居住在一個(gè)僻靜的地方。
    很多老人正在遷往南部，那里天氣暖和。冬天的時(shí)候不需要在雪中走路，也不需要交大筆取暖費(fèi)。
    很多老人正在遷往只允許老人居住的南部城市。其中之一就是亞利桑那州菲尼克斯附近的太陽(yáng)城。太陽(yáng)城居住的所有家庭都必須有一個(gè)成員在50歲以上，18歲以下的孩子能住在那里。
