问题 The very loans that are supposed to help seniors stay in their homes are in many cases pushing them out．Reverse mortgages，which allow homeowners 62 or older to borrow money against the value of their homes and not pay it back until they move out or die，have long been said with problems．Now，federal and state regulators are documenting new instances of abuse as smaller mort-gage brokers，including former sub-prime lenders，flood the market after the recent exit of big banks and as defaults on the loans hit record highs．
Some lenders are aggressively recommending loans to seniors who cannot afrord the fees associated with them，without mentioning the property taxes and maintenance．Others are wooing seniors with promises that the loans are free money that can be used to finance their long-desired things，without clearly explaining the risks．Some widows were pressured not to have their hames on the contract，without being told that they could be left facing foreclosure after their husbands died.
Now，as the vast baby boomer generation is entering retirement and more seniors struggle with declining savings，the newly established Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is working on new rules that could mean better disclosure for consumers and stricter supervision of lenders．More than 775，000 of such loans are outstanding，according to the federal government．
Concerns about the multi-billion dollar reverse mortgage market echo those raised in the lead-up to the financial crisis when consumers were marketed loans—often carrying hidden risks—that they could not afford．“There are many of the same red flags，including explosive growth and the fact that these loans are often advertised aggressively without regard to suitability，”said Lori Swanson，the Minnesota attorney general，who is working on reforming the reverse mortgage market．
请回答下列问题。
Which is true about the problem of reverse mortgage?

选项 A、Some lenders are unwilling to lend money to seniors．
B、The borrowers cannot pay back the money as expected．
C、Federal and state regulators are documenting the objection．
D、Some lenders go bankrupt．

答案B

解析细节题。根据第二段第一句“Some lenders are aggressively recommending loans to seniors who cannot afford the fees associated with them”可知，B项正确。A项与文意相反，C项与文中信息存在出入，文中说的是“Now，federal and state regulators are documenting new instances of abuse”，并非C项中的“documenting the objection”，因此错误。D项原文未提及，故本题选B。
