Text 3 Family caregivers provide essential,often unpaid work in the U.S.:they help family members with tasks like bathing and eating,coordinating insurance coverage and managing medications.But what a caregiver looks like in America is changing.Although the typical unpaid family caregiver is a 49-year-old white woman,about 10 million Americans between ages 18 and 34,of all different backgrounds,are now the caregivers for a family member or friend,according to a new report by AARP.One out of four family caregivers in the U.S.is a millennial.And as Baby Boomers age and need more support,this young group is becoming an increasingly important part of the caregiving workforce.More than half of millennial caregivers are now people of color,according to the report,and they are more likely than any other generation to balance caregiving with employment.Nearly three quarters of millennial caregivers are employed,according to the new report,and 53%work full time.They also spend an average of 21 hours per week on caregiving,or the equivalent of a part time job.More than one in four millennials spends over 20 hours each week providing care,and roughly one in five provides care for at least 40 hours each week."Many of these millennials are not just working and providing this care,but are trying to figure out,ihow do I balance all of this?"'says Jean Accius,an expert on long-term care services and supports at the AARP's public policy institute,which provides guides for different communities of caregivers."At this time in their life,a typical milleruual may be thinking about going on vacation,hanging out with friends and potentially getting married,but these millennials are doing things like wound care and bathing."The report finds that Latino millennials often face increased pressure,as they work more hours each week on average and spend more time providing care than young adults of other backgrounds.Some of this has to do with the fact that Hispanuc Americans are more likely to live in multi-generational households,Accius says.Tasks like navigating govemment health systems or coordinating care between multiple providers can also be particularly challenging for families that have members whose first language is not English.Another common source of stress is the impact that caregiving responsibilities can have on a person's career.54%of millennial caregivers say that caregiving has impacted their job in significant ways,according to the report.Yet millennials are much less likely to tell their supervisors or colleagues at work about their caregiving responsibilities,meaning they are often navigating alone.One sign of progress is that millennial men are nearly as likely to provide care as women,according to the report."The way that millennials think about gendered work or gendered care roles is changing,"says Whiting."The U.S.is already facing a shortage of caregivers,and the increasing gender and racial diversity of millennial caregivers will be necessary to support all those who need help in the future:'she says."We see,especially among millennials,that everybody bears some responsibility,and we need to care for each other."According to AARP,family caregivers in America_____A.are limited to white womenB.are usually without paymentC.are more younger than beforeD.are paid by their friends
选项
A.are limited to white women
B.are usually without payment

D.are paid by their friends
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。根据定位词定位到文章第一段。报告指出,年龄在18岁到34岁之间的美国人也加入了护理人员行列,而与通常的无偿家庭护理人员为一位49岁的白人女性相比,他们更年轻,故C项为正确选项。【干扰排除】原文提到通常的无偿家庭护理人员是一位49岁的白人女性,并未提到局限于白人女性,A项错误;B项所述并非报告中的内容;D项原文未提及。故均排除。
