I feel lucky that I live in the modern age. People are 【1】(富有的) and live longer than in the past. We know how to deal with the 【2】(普通的) diseases, so we have less 【3】(害怕) of getting ill. And we have more 【4】(空闲的) time to have good fun. The role of women has also 【5】(改变). They can get a good education and have good jobs like men.

But more 【6】(财富) sometimes means less health. Because transport and travel are 【7】(更容易的), people 【8】(很少) walk and they don’t exercise as much as they 【9】 to(过去常常). When there is a lot of traffic, the pollution is also 【10】(使加倍), or even worse. Luckily, our people and our government are taking steps to make the situation better.
