Passage 2
People over the age of 65 in the U. S. A are called senior citizens.  Life for these people is different from that for younger Americans.  Most senior citizens retire, or no longer work full time.  Also it is unusual for people of this age to live with their children and grandchildren.  Grandparents tend to live in their own houses or apartments away from their families.
For many senior citizens, the years after 65 are not enjoyable.  They feel unproductive when they no longer work.  Their lives lose meaning.  In addition, they may feel lonely being away from their families and the contacts they had in their work.  Moreover, they become more concerned with their health as they grow older.  If they live in big cities, they often worry about their safety.
