In the old days, children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. This is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters (年轻人) who have never been close by during the birth of a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member.
Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we transfer them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit terminally ill patients—even when those patients are their parents. This deprives (剥夺) the dying patient of significant family members during the last few days of his life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning experience.
Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed approximately 500 terminally ill patients in order to find out what they could teach us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of their families as well. We were most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potential outcome.
It is important for family members, doctors and nurses to understand these patients’ communications in order to truly understand their needs, fears, and fantasies (幻想). Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their tremendous need to be informed, to be kept up-to-date on their medical condition, and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to cope with the approach of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance prior to death. [br] The elders of contemporary Americans________.
选项
A、were often absent when a family member was born or dying
B、were quite unfamiliar with birth and death
C、usually witnessed the birth or death of a family member
D、had often experienced the fear of death as part of life
答案
C
解析
细节题。依据文章第一段“In the old days,children were familiar with birth and death as part of life.This is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters who have never been close by during the birth of a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member.在过去,孩子们对作为他们生活的一部分的出生和死亡非常熟悉。现在的孩子们也许是从未目睹过婴儿的降生和亲人的死亡的第一代美国人。”可以看出,作者谈及了两类年轻人,过去的一类(通常目睹家庭成员的出生和死亡)和现在的一类(无这方面的体验)。本题问的是当代美国人中的长者,显然是指第一类人。故C符合题意。
