It is curious how often sympathy for the old and infirm takes a form which actually humiliates them. Their friends, with good will, sometimes lean forward to rearrange their neckwear, touching their hair or patting their faces-things they would never presume to do, unasked, to one of their contemporaries. An equally humiliating habit is to talk about old people in front of them as if they were not there, discussing their health.
It is now universally accepted that children should be encouraged to do as much as they can for themselves in order to develop their brains and muscles, but so few people today seem to have time to allow the elderly the same means of keeping their minds and muscles active. They perform innumerable services for the old that they would be much better left to do, even with a struggle, for themselves.
Convenient flats, "motherly" visitors, or organized entertainments cannot make up for the fundamental need which must be satisfied--the need to retain to the end of life human dignity and the respect of one’s fellows.
According to the passage the old would very much like to______.
选项
A、live alone
B、live in comfortable and well-run homes
C、be treated as adults instead of babies
D、get unselfish help from their friends and relatives
答案
C
解析
本题依据在第二段末句:“They perform innumerable services for the old that they would be much better left to do, even with a struggle, for themselves”。意思是“他们替老年人做了许多事,而这些事本该由老年人自己去做,即便做起来很吃力他们也会感觉好些。”可见,老年人并不希望把自己当作婴儿似的来照料。
