Their【S1】______children visit them only occasionally, but more often, they do not have any【S2】______visitors. The truth is that. this idea is an unfortunate myth -- a(an)【S3】______story. In fact, family members provide over 80 percent of the care that elderly people need. Samuel Preston, a sociologist, studied how the American family is changing. He reported that by the time the【S4】______American couple reaches 40 years of age, they have more parents than children. Moreover, because people today live longer after an illness than people did years ago, family members must provide long-term care. More psychologists have found that all caregivers【S5】______a common characteristic: all caregivers believe that they are the best people for the job. In other words, they all felt that they could do the job better than anyone else. Social workers【S6】______caregivers to find out why they took on the responsibility of caring for an elderly relative. Many caregivers believed they had【S7】______to help their relative. Some stated that helping others make them feel more useful. Others hoped that by helping someone now, they would deserve care when they became old and【S8】______. Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a【S9】______satisfying experience for everyone who might be【S10】______

【S5】
选项
答案E
解析 found后的宾语从句缺少谓语动词，所以该空应填一个动词，主语caregivers决定该动词为原形。冒号后的句子意思为：所有的照顾者都认为他们最适合该工作，可推测照顾者共有一个特点，所以选 share。
