共用题干The Sandwich Generation
Today people often look forward to their middle age as a time when they will be able to take things easier. After their children are grown,they expect to enjoy the life they have worked hard to create.______(46) In middle age,many people discover that they have two ongoing responsibilities:one is to look after their aging parents,and the other is to help their young adult children deal with the pressures of life.Around the world, there are millions of people who are"sandwiched"in between the older and the younger generations.
Sometimes there may be two or three generations living in the same household-a situation that is common in many Asian countries and in some parts of Europe.In other cases,a couple may be taking care of parents and children,but they do not live with them.
There are two important reasons for the rise of the sandwich generation.First,people are living longer than they used to.In the early nineteenth century , the average life expectancy(预期寿命)for adalts in the United States,for example,was about 40,whereas today people live to an average age of 75.______(47)The second reason is that these days,young adults often live with their parents for a longer time than they did in the past.This is often for financial reasons.It's also more common for today's young adults to return home during or after college if they need financial or emotional support.
______(48)They may have to cover expenses that their parents cannot.They may have to manage their parents'financial and legel affairs.They may have to prepare for their parents'future needs,such as special medical care or a move to a nursing home.This can be a traumatic(使人不快的)experience for everyone.
Caring for adalt children presents challenges as well,and caregivers have to resolve important questions: How can financial responsibilities be shared among members of the household? How can household chores be shared? What is the best way to ensure everyone's privacy?______(49)
The financial and emotional pressures on the sandwich generation can be overwhelming.However,this time in life also has its rewards.______(50)It can also provide a valuable opportunity to spend more time with them.However,in order to survive this difficult period in their lives,the members of the sandwich generation must remember that they also need to pay attention to their own needs and look after the quality of their own lives.They can't be totally seffless.
选项
______(46)A:Successfully coping with these issues can avoid a lot of stress for the whole family.B:Therefore,children are taking care of their parents over a longer period of time.C:People who take care of elderly parents often face difficult issues.D:Young adults feel sandwiched between their financial responsibilities and their desire to enjoy life.E:However,the reality is often very different.F:It can be a time to rediscover the special qualities of one's parents or children.
答案
E
解析
前面一句话说,孩子长大后,中年父母期望有时间享受自己努力工作创造的生活。后面一句话说,到了中年,许多人发现自己同时担负着照顾年老的父母和帮助年少的孩子处理生活的压力两项责任。联系上下文可知,此处应该是一个转折句。故选E。 前面一句话说,在19世纪早期,美国成年人的平均寿命在40岁左右,而现在人们通常能活到75岁。联系上下文可推测出,由于人们的寿命增长了,所以孩子们照顾父母的时间变长了。故选B。 第三段主要说的是孩子们照顾父母可能要面临的种种困难。联系上下文可知,此处应该是本段的主题句。故选C。 第四段主要说的是父母在照顾成年孩子时面临的种种挑战。联系上下文可知,此处应该是说解决了这些问题可以减轻整个家庭的负担。故选A。 前面一句话说,三明治一代肩上的经济和精神压力可能使他们不堪重负,但这段时间也会给他们带来回报。联系上下文可知,此处应该是三明治一代同时肩负孩子和父母负担的好的方面。故选F0
