Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes into contact with them. Their values—this can’t be repeated too often—are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying (腐烂) food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone on bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.
Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car; it needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And at what point should you cease to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by continuing the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to make the old body active, knowing that it is designed to die? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there is life, there is hope.
When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.
It is implied in Para. 1 that______.
选项
A、very old people enjoy living with their relatives
B、social services have nothing to do with very old people
C、very old people would like to live alone so that they can have more personal freedom
D、very old people are able to keep their rooms very clean
答案
C
解析
文章第一段中说,老人的价值观与我们的价值观是不一样的。身体的舒服、整洁对他们来说并不重要。由此我们可以推断,如果老人与年轻人生活在一起,他们会感受到许多不便,因为年轻人与他们不同,年轻人喜欢舒服和整洁。因此老人,特别是年龄非常大的人喜欢独自生活,因为这样他们能有更多的个人自由。
