问题      It is true that times are changing for the old people in Britain. But not all the changes are bad ones.  Modem medicine, for example, has made old people healthier than ever before.  Another advantage is that there are many more old people than there Used to be. This means that old people often have a good social life with their own clubs and organizations.Old people, too, have more money now than their own parents and grandparents had.
    The biggest disadvantage of modem life is loneliness. The young leave home when they grow up and many old people live alone. Fewer old people have brothers and sisters. An old person’s one or two children may have moved to another part of the country. Even when they live nearby, the young people have their own work to do and their own children to look after. They have not much time for the old. Problems of loneliness often start when people stop work. When people retire they often find it difficult to start a new life without their jobs.
    The world has changed so fast since 1900 that it is difficult for old people to understand the problems of the young. And the world is changing even faster these days than it was fifty years ago. It makes you think, doesn’t it? What will it be like when today’s young people are old?
Although some old people live near their sons or daughters, ______.

选项 A、they still feel lonely
B、they want to move to other places
C、they have no time to look after the young people’s children
D、they like to live with their own brothers and sisters

答案A

解析 本题为细节辨认题。第二段中“Even when they live nearby,the young people have their own work to do and their own children to look after.They have not much time for the old.”指出,即便子女就住在附近,他们也没有时间来照顾父母,这也是使老人产生孤独感的因素之一。
