Who takes care of the elderly in the United States today? The fact is that family members provide over 80% of the care that elderly people need. In most cases the elderly live in their own homes. A very small percentage of America’s elderly live in nursing homes.
Samuel 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 about 40 years of age, their parents are usually still alive. The statistics show the change in lifestyles and responsibilities of aging(老龄化)Americans. The average middle-aged couple can look forward to caring for elderly parents sometime after their own children have grown up. Moreover, because people today live longer after an illness than people did years ago, family members must provide long-term care. These facts also mean that after caregivers provide care for their elderly parents, who will eventually die, they will be old and may require care too. When they do, their spouses(配偶)will probably take care of them because they have had fewer children than their parents did.
Because Americans are living longer than ever, more social workers have begun to study ways of caregiving to improve the care of the elderly. They have found that all caregivers share a common characteristic: They believe that they are the best people for the job. The social workers have also discovered three basic reasons why the caregivers take on the responsibility of caring for an elderly, dependent relative. Many caregivers believe they had an obligation(职责)to help their relatives. Some think that helping others makes them feel more useful. Others hope that by helping someone now, they will deserve care when they become old and dependent.
Which of the following is NOT a reason why people look after their relatives?______.
选项
A、They feel they are of use to other people
B、They want to set an example to other people
C、They think it is their duty to help their relatives
D、They hope they deserve care when they need it
答案

解析
根据第三段护理者愿意对长辈尽职的原因,主要有三个。一,认为帮助亲人是他们应尽的职责;二,帮助他人使他们觉得自己是一个有用的人;三,他们认为帮助他人能使自己在年老时得到帮助。故选B。
