America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older.[19]Today, 10 out of every 100 American’s are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — education, medicine and business.
Quietly, the greying of America has made us a very different society —one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behaviour is suitable at various ages.[20]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’m 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.
19. What is the percentage of people above 65 in America today?
20. What effect does the greying of America have on its society according to the passage?
21. What does the passage imply?
选项
A、People don’t have to act their age.
B、People should have their own judgements.
C、One is never too old to learn.
D、People must respect the old and cherish the young.
答案
A
解析
推断题。文中提到,人们对“什么年龄做什么事情合适”有了新的看法;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(Actyour age)”这样的话,由此可知,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)。
