Samuel H. Preston, a sociologist at the University of Pennsylvania, studied how the American family is changing. He reported that by the time the average American couple reaches 40 years of age, they have more parents than children. This finding shows the change in lifestyles (生活方式) and duties of aging Americans. The average middle-aged couple can look forward to caring for elderly parents some time after their own children have grown up.
Because Americans are living longer than ever, more researchers and social workers have begun to study care giving to improve care of the elderly. When people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use community (社区) services, such as adult (成人) daycare centres. If the care givers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other business. However, the wife of an elderly person is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home. Social workers discovered that the reason for this difference was fear of becoming poor. An ill elderly person may live for years, and medical care and nursing homes are very expensive. An elderly couple’s savings can disappear very quickly. The other half, usually the wife, can be left in poor living conditions. As a result, she often tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can.
What would be the best title for the text?
选项
A、Care for the Elderly
B、The Best Community Services
C、The High Cost of Nursing Homes
D、How to Improve Parent-Child Relationships
答案
A
解析
主旨题。题干意为“本文最佳标题是什么?”文章以美国人生活方式变化开始,引出照顾老年人的问题,接着讲了孩子照料老人、社区服务,以及老年人需要注意的问题。不难看出,文章是围绕照顾老年人进行的。故选A。
