Women from the mid-30s to the mid-50s are less likely than Americans
overall be very happy, and many are racked by worries about aging parents (1)______
and other family members, a national survey reports.
Money, time and health concerns loomed largely in the poll of more (2)______
than 1,100 women who have at least one alive parent. (3)______
About 20% said they were very happy. More than half of the women
were concerned about an elder relative’s health. (4)______
Those who had ill relatives—usually a mother or father—were much (5)______
more likely to feel depressed and to worry about having enough time for
family members. They also had more trouble managing stress. About two
out of three women were employed.
The bleak scenario doesn’t surprise Deb Rubenstein, a social worker
who counsels to "sandwich generation" women, those who have children at (6)______
home and aging parents. Later marriages, later child-bearing and longer life
spans are forcing more women into taking responsibility for their kids and
their parents. The "sandwich" years don’t still go away by the 60s anymore. (7)______
Providing elder care was linked to feel overworked in a study of em- (8)______
ployed adults last year, so taking care of children was not. (9)______
Such overwork may be common. In another institute study, 35% of U.S.
employees said they had elder care responsibilities during the last year. It
can be episodic, unpredictable and very stressed. (10)______
(4)
选项
答案
elder — elderly或old
解析
elder用作形容词时的意思是“(家庭成员中)年龄较大的”。elderly是“年老的”的一种委婉表达。此处说被调查者担心亲人的健康,这里的“亲人”应该是“年老的亲人”,而不是“比自己年纪大的亲人”。当然可以直言不讳用old。
