Growing older is inevitable. However, as you get old, care in old age becomes more important. Many people wrongly believe that when people reach old age, their families place them in nursing homes. They are left in the【C1】______of strangers for the rest of their lives.
Their【C2】______children visit them only occasionally, but more often, they do not have any【C3】______visitors. The truth is that this idea is an unfortunate myth — an【C4】______story. In fact, family members provide over 80 percent of the care【C5】______elderly people need. Samuel Preston, a sociologist, studied【C6】______the American family is changing. He reported that by the time the【C7】______American couple reaches 40 years of age, they have more parents than children.【C8】______, because the number of elderly Americans and their proportion of the nation’s population are growing, and Americans live longer after an illness than people did years【C9】______, family members must provide long term care, which becomes an increasingly urgent policy issue.
Caregivers thus need to be given all encouragement and support by society. More psychologists have found that all caregivers【C10】______a common characteristic: All caregivers believe that they are the best【C11】______for the job. In other words, they all felt that they【C12】______do the job better than anyone else. Social workers【C13】______caregivers to find out why they took【C14】______the responsibility of caring for an elderly relative. Many caregivers believed they had【C15】______to help their relative. Some stated that helping others【C16】______them feel more useful. Others hoped that by helping【C17】______now, they would deserve care when they became old and【C18】______. Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a【C19】______satisfying experience for everyone who might be【C20】______. Taking care of the elderly is not easy. Emotional issues, buried for decades come to the fore and are tested. Behind the pressure and responsibility there stands a love, which is so important to the souls involved.
【C12】
选项
A、would
B、will
C、could
D、can
答案
C
解析
句意理解。该句的大意为他们认为自己能够比其他任何人都做得好。根据句意,此题应选表示自我肯定的词,will意为“愿意”,不符合;would是will的过去式用法,表示过去将来时或婉转语气;could是can的过去式,表示“能够”,主句的时态是过去时,从句也应当是过去时,符合语法和句意,因此选择C。
