For each question or statement the

13、re are 4 choices. You should make the correct choice and put the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Who takes care of the elderly in the United States today? The fact is that family members provide over 80% of the care that elderly people need. In most cases the elderly live in their own home

14、s: A very small percentage of Americas elderly live in nursing homes. Samuel Preston, a sociologist at the University of Pennsylvania, studied how the American family is changing. He reported that by the time the average American couple reaches about 40 years of age, their parents are usually still

15、alive. The statistics show the change in lifestyles and responsibilities of aging (老龄化) Americans. The average middle-aged couple can look forward to caring for elderly parents sometime after their own children have grown up. Moreover, because people today live longer after an illness than people di

16、d years ago, family members must provide long-term care. These facts also mean that after caregivers provide for their elderly parents, who will eventually die, they will be old and may require care too. When they do, their spouses(配偶) will probably take care of them because they have had fewer chil

17、dren than their parents did. Because Americans are living longer than ever, more social workers have begun to study ways of care-giving to improve the care of the elderly. They have found that all care-givers share a common characteristic: They believe that they are the best people for the job. The

18、social workers have also discovered three basic reasons why the caregivers take on the responsibility of caring for an elderly, dependent relative. Many caregivers believe they had an obligation (职责) to help their relatives. Some think that helping others makes them feel more useful. Others hope tha

19、t by helping someone now, they will deserve care when they become old and dependent.（分数：10.00）(1).Samuel Prestons study shows thatA. lifestyles and responsibilities of the elderly are not changingB. most American couples over 40 have no living parentsC. middle-aged Americans have to take care of the

They themselves. B. Their close friends. C. Their chil

Their husbands or wives（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).All caregivers believe that they can _.A. care for their elderly parents better than any other peopleB. keeps closer to their old parents by this meansC. does much better if they have a job as social workersD. improve the care of the elderly with

22、the help of the social workers（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Which of the following is NOT a reason why people look after their relatives?A. They feel they are of use to other people. B. They want to set an example to their children. C. They think it is their duty to help their relatives. D. They hope they de

24、are of by their families, who assume the responsibility for different reasons. D.

26、to a succession of presidents, that he had an appointment for a South Lawn romp one day with Buddy, Bill Clintons Labrador retriever (拉布拉多犬).Logistics got in the way, though, and hence Clinton secretary Betty Curries apologetic voice mail left at the Smithsonian Institution, where Landau was doing r

27、esearch: “Im sorry, but well have to reschedule Mr. Landaus play-date with Buddy.“Not surprisingly, this is a happy week for Landau, with the new Obama family dog, Bo, joining a White House tradition that dates to George Washington. Its one that Landau feels is invaluable to a presidency.“Having a d

28、og just humanizes a president,“ he says. “It completes the picture. Its something people can relate to.“And Landau has related to the best of them. Hes known about 25 White House dogs since the Eisenhower administration. Among the presidential-pooch memorabilia in his Manhattan apartment are matchin
