六、阅读与回答问题(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
There are some problems that today's society is facing. One of them is who should be responsible (负有责任的) for our elderly and how to improve their lives, and this is a serious one. I would like to suggest several possible ways.
First, bosses should think about their retired workers. At least they should leave a percentage of gains. But when it comes true, the company may be troubled because of higher costs.
Another way is to return the responsibility to everyone. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. Some people find that it's difficult for them to pay 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.
The government can provide more money through government taxes (税) to increase the level of pensions (养老金). And some organizations should provide a comfortable life for them.
One further solution is that the government or social organizations set up some working places specially for the elderly.
In short, all these solutions have advantages and disadvantages. So we are expecting to put these solutions together so that we can provide the care we hope to give to our elderly.

75. What can you do for the elderly in your daily life? (请自拟一句话作答)
