10．In America，people change jobs ten times during their lives．They change their homes eleven times．Americans like change because they think it improves their lives．
In China，some people，of course，don't like change．They want life to be predictable （可预见的）．They want to do the same things every day and to see the same people every day．When something changes，it makes them feel uncomfortable，like a child who can't go to sleep unless （除非） all his toys are in their proper places．
But can't you see there are many changes in China？People are healthier and they are living longer．People have more money，more food and they are better educated （受教育）．
Without change our lives would be very boring．It would be like listening to the same song over and over again．Change is a big part of life and we all change in small ways every day--the young get stronger，the old get weaker； we meet new friends； we find new interests．Change is good for China and it will be good for you，too．
