Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes into contact with them. Their values—this can’t be repeated too often—are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying (腐烂) food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone on bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.
Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car; it needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And at what point should you cease to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by continuing the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to make the old body active, knowing that it is designed to die? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there is life, there is hope.
When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun. [br] The word "it" in the last paragraph refers to______.
选项
A、the conclusion you have come to
B、whether age is happy or unpleasant
C、your talk to the old people
D、one’s money or one’s health
答案
B
解析
文中最后一段说:“然而,当你与老人交谈时,你就不得不得出这样一个结论:晚年的快乐与否更多地依赖你获得快乐的能力,而靠钱:和健康获得的快乐并不多。”在这里“it”一词应指代“whether age is happy or unpleasant”,因为这里由“that”一词引导的同位语从句是两个比较句,这两个比较句的句子结构应是相同的,主语都应是“whether”一词引导的主语从句。
