In 2014, older Americans fell 29 million times, leading to 7 million injuries, according to a report published last week. About 2. 8 million cases were treated in emergency departments, and approximately 800,000 seniors went on to be hospitalized. More than 27,000 falls led to death. (76)
And the problem is getting more and more serious.
" Older adult falls are increasing and, sadly, often indicate the end of independence," said Dr. Tom Frieden. The falls are preventable, Frieden stressed. He said individuals, families and health care providers can take steps to resist the trend.
Dr. Wolf-Klein is a medical professor in New York. She said one concern is that seniors who have experienced a fall alone at home don’ t tell anyone. When that happens, prevention efforts don’t begin and they’re at risk for additional falls that lead to broken bones and brain injuries.
"Elderly patients tend not to report falls to their families, or even doctors. A fall is a very frightening thing that you keep quiet about. They think if they mention it, they are afraid that they will move to a nursing home or need assistants to help out in the house," said Wolf-Klein.
It’ s also a status issue and may make someone feel that they’ re weaker than they really are, she explained. When someone does fall and hurt themselves, they’ re often never the same, Wolf-Klein said. "You can develop chronic (慢性的) problems. After a fall, a percentage of the population will never return to walking around. People used to taking the subway, now they’ re in a wheelchair, or they may need help going to the bathroom. They become frailer and lose independence," she said.
What is the main idea of this passage?
选项
A、Older adult falls are on the rise.
B、People should keep quiet about their falls.
C、Older adults are losing their independence.
D、Older adult falls cause brain injuries.
答案
A
解析
主旨大意题。题干问的是“本文的主旨是什么?”本文通篇都是在讲述越来越多的老年人跌倒,并且全文都是围绕这个话题展开。B项说人们应该对摔倒的事情闭口不谈,根据倒数第二段判断为错误选项;C项说老年人正在丧失独立生活的能力,这只是摔倒后的最终结果,而不能作为全文的主旨;D项说老年人摔倒会造成大脑损伤,这也是摔倒可能会导致的结果,文中第三段最后一句话指出,二次摔倒会导致骨折和脑部损伤。故选A。
