For an increasing number of students at American universities, Old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious; the graying of America means jobs, coupled with the aging of the baby-boom (生育高峰) generation, a longer life span means that the nation’s elderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995. The change poses profound questions for government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and in law and business as well. "In addition to the doctors, we’re going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers," says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California’s (USC) School of Gerontology (老年学).
Lawyers can specialize in "elder law", which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination (歧视). Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. "Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money. " one professor says.
Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC. She began college as a biology major but found she was "really bored with bacteria". So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it. She says, "I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying. " (266 words)
Who can make big money in the new century according to the passage?
选项
A、Retirees who are business-minded.
B、The volunteer workers in retirement homes.
C、College graduates with an MBA or law degree.
D、Professionals with a good knowledge of gerontology.
答案
D
解析
本题属于推理题。由题干“make big money”定位到末段的“an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money”(=make big money),意思是MBA和法学专业的学生如果拥有老年学知识,将获得“印钞许可证”。这是一个夸张幽默的说法,意指要源源不断地挣到大钱的必备条件是:专业精通、对老年学具有相当知识,而D“拥有大量老年学知识的专家”,就是这句话的同义表达。A“有商业头脑的退休者”和B“在退休者之家工作的志愿者”在文中未提,均错。C“有MBA或律师学位的高校毕业生”只符合了其中一个条件,不准确。
