Their【B2】children visit them only occasionally, but more often, they do not have any【B3】visitors. The truth is that this idea is an unfortunate myth--an【B4】story. In fact, family members provide over 80 percent of the care【B5】elderly people need. Samuel Preston, a sociologist, studied【B6】the American family is changing. He reported that by the time the【B7】American couple reaches 40 years of age, they have more parents than children.【B8】, because people today live longer after an illness than people did years【B9】, family members must provide long term care.

In other words, they all felt that they【B12】do the job better than anyone else. Social workers【B13】caregivers to find out why they took【B14】the responsibility of caring for an elderly relative. Many caregivers believed they had【B15】to help their relative. Some stated that helping others【B16】them feel more useful.

Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a【B19】satisfying experience for everyone who might be【B20】.
选项 A、hands
B、bodies
C、arms.
D、homes
答案A
解析 惯用搭配题。in the hands of意为“由…控制或照料”，是惯用搭配，刚好与句意相符，所以A正确。   关于hand的短语有：at one’s hands出自某人之手；in hand在控制之中；off (one’s) hands脱离(某人的)管辖权，如：We finally got that project off our hands．我们终于不用管那项工程了。
