2、日“年輕人是否適合擔(dān)任政府要職”，2012年3月10日“老齡化現(xiàn)象的原因及解決方法”，2012年3月31日“年輕人和老年人誰(shuí)的價(jià)值更高?”，2013年6月8日“政府是否應(yīng)該對(duì)老年人養(yǎng)老提供財(cái)政支持?”，2015年1月1日“年輕人當(dāng)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，行不行?”，2015年4月11日“老年人與年輕人爭(zhēng)奪工作職位，怎么辦?”等等。本題需要論證的對(duì)立觀點(diǎn)是：年老很糟糕 vs. 當(dāng)今社會(huì)年老沒有那么糟糕。那么，變老有哪些壞處呢?首先，當(dāng)然是身體條件沒有以前好了，甚至可能出現(xiàn)多種疾病(物質(zhì)層面);其次，不工作了，與人的聯(lián)系少了，心里可能會(huì)感覺孤單，甚至感覺沒有價(jià)值了(精神層面);最后，變老后對(duì)社會(huì)的依賴程度更高，給社

3、會(huì)增加了壓力(社會(huì)層面)。那么，這些問題在當(dāng)今社會(huì)是不是得到了解決呢?首先，醫(yī)療條件的改善有助于保持老年人的身體狀況;互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的出現(xiàn)有助于緩解老年人的.心理孤單問題;物質(zhì)水平的提高也降低了老年人給社會(huì)造成的壓力。如此觀之，現(xiàn)代社會(huì)老年人的生活的確容易多了，但我的觀點(diǎn)是：外部條件只是改善老年人生活的一個(gè)方面，最重要的還是老年人自己要積極調(diào)整心態(tài)，努力適應(yīng)退休后的生活，從而過一個(gè)更幸福更祥和的晚年。Sample answer：Getting old is a natural process that nobody really likes.
