Passage Two
　　When people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use available community services such as adult daycare centers. If the caregivers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other responsibilities. In contrast, a spouse usually the wife, is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home. Social workers discover that the wife normally tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can in order not to use up their life savings. Researchers have found that caring for the elderly can be a very positive experience. The elderly appreciated the care and attention they received. They were affectionate and cooperative. However, even when caregiving is satisfying, it is hard work. Social workers and experts on aging offer caregivers and potential caregivers help when arranging for the care of an elderly relative. One consideration is to ask parents what they want before they become sick or dependent. Perhaps they prefer going into a nursing home and can select one in advance. On the other hand, they may want to live with their adult children. Caregivers must also learn to state their needs and opinions clearly and ask for help from others especially brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters are often willing to help, but they may not know what to do
　　Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
　　29. Why are adult children more likely to use community services to help care for elderly parents?
　　答案：D）They have jobs and other commitments.
　　解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。本題詢問(wèn)原因，文章開(kāi)頭很快就給出了本題答案"because they often have jobs and other responsibilities." 注意D選項(xiàng)中的commitments的意思是 “承諾，保證；承擔(dān)義務(wù)”和responsibilities意思相近。這也是四級(jí)考試中常見(jiàn)的選項(xiàng)設(shè)置，用同義詞或近義詞替換掉文中的詞匯。這要求考試在備考時(shí)，重點(diǎn)詞匯及其同義詞反義詞都要有所了解。其他選項(xiàng)文中沒(méi)有提及，可排除。
　　30. Why are most wives unwilling to put their dependent husbands into nursing homes?
　　答案：A) They don't want to use up all their life savings.
　　解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。關(guān)鍵詞"wives"" husbands"。本題不難，文章中已經(jīng)直接給出答案" in order not to use up their life savings"。
　　31. According to the passage, what must caregivers learn to do?
　　31. According to the passage, what must caregivers learn to do?
　　答案：C）Be frank and seek help from others.
　　解析：關(guān)鍵詞"caregivers""learn to do"，問(wèn)看護(hù)人應(yīng)該要學(xué)會(huì)做的事情，然后迅速定位于后部分，"One consideration is to ask..."，"Caregivers must also learn to state..." 主要有兩件事情，C選項(xiàng)是其中一個(gè)，另外一個(gè)選項(xiàng)中沒(méi)有，排除A、B和D選項(xiàng)。
