问题     Very old people do raise moral problem for almost everyone who comes into touch with them. Their values—this can’t be repeated too often—are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important for them. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with going-bad food covered with dust on the table, and an old person lying alone on bed, taking no notice of anything. Is it doing harm to personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers are the ones who clean up the dust, thinking we are in danger of carrying this idea of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.
    Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car: it needs more care as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results are. And at what point should you stop treating the old body? Is it right to try to push off death by using drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that there is little hope? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel sure to have a try on the belief that while there’ s life, there’ s hope.
    When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.
The author thinks that______.
选项 A、medical decisions for the old people should be left to the doctors
B、old people can enjoy a happy life only if they are very rich
C、the opinion that we should try every means possible to save old people is doubtful
D、it is always right to treat old people and push off death
答案C
解析 本题是作者观点态度题。利用排除法。由第二段倒数第二句，作者提到通过药物，推迟死亡是否道义，可知作者对这一做法持怀疑态度，不赞成。D项与原文不符。接着作者提到“你不能让医生或科学家作决定，因为他们只要看到技术性机会，就觉得有必要进行尝试”，A项与原文不符。最后一段，人变老是令人幸福还是令人不快，并不怎么取决于金钱或健康，而取决于你寻找乐趣的能力，B项与原文不符。故选C。
