　　The Sandwich Generation

　　Today people often look forward to their middle age as a time when they will be able to take things easier.After their children are grown, they expect to enjoy the life they have worked hard to create.____(1)____.In middle age, many people discover that they have two ongoing responsibilities1: one is to look after their aging parents,and the other is to help their young adult children deal with the pressures of life.Around the world, there are millions of people who are “sandwiched”in between the older and the younger generations.Sometimes there may be two or three generations living in the same household — a situation that is common in many Asian countries and in some parts of Europe.In other cases, a couple may be taking care of parents and children, but they do not live with them.(環(huán)球網(wǎng)校2016年職稱(chēng)英語(yǔ)考試《綜合類(lèi)A》補(bǔ)全短文模擬練習(xí)二)

　　____(3)____.They may have to cover expenses that their parents cannot.They may have to manage their parents'financial and legal affairs.They may have to prepare for their parents'future needs, such as special medical care or a move to a nursing home.This can be a traumatic experience for everyone.

　　Caring for adult children presents challenges as well, and caregivers have to resolve important questions;How can financial responsibilities be shared among members of the household? How can household chores be shared? What is the best way to ensure everyone's privacy? ____(4)____.

　　The financial and emotional pressures on the sandwich generation can be overwhelming.However, this time in life also has its rewards.____(5)____.It can also provide a valuable opportunity to spend more time with them.However, in order to survive this difficult period in their lives, the members of the sandwich generation must remember that they also need to pay attention to their own needs and look after the quality of their own lives.They can't be totally selfless.

　　1.E 根據(jù)本空的上一句：孩子們長(zhǎng)大了，中年人期望有時(shí)間享受努力工作創(chuàng)造的生活，但是現(xiàn)實(shí)卻不允許;所以后一句論證為什么會(huì)這樣，即中年人因?yàn)樯嫌欣稀⑾掠行?，所以不能無(wú)憂(yōu)無(wú)慮地享受生活。(環(huán)球網(wǎng)校2016年職稱(chēng)英語(yǔ)考試《綜合類(lèi)A》補(bǔ)全短文模擬練習(xí)二)

　　2.B 依據(jù)上一句：19世紀(jì)早期，美國(guó)人的平均壽命在40歲左右，而現(xiàn)在人們通常能活到75歲。人們壽命延長(zhǎng)的結(jié)果是：孩子要照顧父母的時(shí)間也相應(yīng)延長(zhǎng)了。
