Old Man Myths and Realities

1.When does a middle-aged man become an old man?Officially,of course,it is when we reach retirement age. But, as we all know, this is a fairly blunt（生硬的）method of decision making. As life expectancy（寿命）increases,retirement planning needs to be changed. This is because being an old man today is very different from what it was a generation or so ago.
2.Sixty-five is the new middle-aged man. These days people are talking about the young-old, that is ages 70-75,and those over 75 as the old-old. The young-old frequently continue in good health and maintain strong links with friends and family.The old-old have a much higher chance of poor health and social isolation.
3.Although men are living longer,there are still more old women than old men.This fact alone should arouse interest as to why. Relatively little is actually known about why this is the case or about the experiences of the old man.Sure,we are aware that the old man experiences anxiety,financial problems,loneliness,etc.,but that is really about all we know.
4.It is usually believed that the old man often complains about their health.In fact,most old man think their health is good even though most are diagnosed with at least one chronic illness.The physical health of the old man is strongly affected by their health behavior when they were younger.
选项 Most old men consider themselves to be______.
A:in good health
B:in the past
C:in the wrong
D:the old man
E:a middle-aged man
F: a young man
答案A
解析文章第一段主要讲的是，随着预期寿命的增加，“老年人”的概念与以往相比已经发生了很大的变化。
文章第二段主要讲对“老年人”的概念重新进行了界定。
文章第三段主要讲的是，尽管人的寿命较之过去延长了，而且我们也知道老年人会面临焦虑、孤独，以及经济问题等，但相对而言，我们对老年人的经历还是知之甚少。
文章第四段主要讲老年人的健康问题。
从文章的头两段可以得知，现在的人通常比过去更长寿。
文章第二段的头一句讲到，现如今65岁的人仍被视为中年人。
文章第三段讲人们对老年人的经历仍知之甚少，因此可以说这方面的研究还有待加强。
文章第四段中的第二句说，尽管大多数老人至少患有一种慢性病，但多数老人仍旧认为自己的健康状况良好。
