America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — education, medicine and business.
Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society — one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages. A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his / her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time.
Public ideas are changing. Many people say, "I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age". No one says "Act your age" anymore. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. What is the percentage of people above 65 in America today?
30. What can we know from the passage?
31. What does the passage imply?
选项
A、People don’t have to act their age.
B、People should have their own judgments.
C、One is never too old too learn.
D、People must respect the old and cherish the young.
答案
A
解析
选项中的People don’t have to,People should/must等表明,本题与建议或寓意有关。短文中提到,有的人29岁就当了大学校长,有的人35岁做了奶奶,或是一个70岁的老人第一次当父亲,这些都不会让我们感到惊讶,没有人再说“什么年龄做什么事(Act your age )”这样的话,由此可推知,这篇短文想表明如今的人们不必考虑年龄来做事,故答案为[A]。
