In many countries, life expectancy is getting longer, and many middle-aged children are taking care of their elderly parents. This can be very difficult because elderly parents often need somebody to be with them all the time. Children can feel that they are losing their privacy(隐私, 独处). If they decide to put their parents in a nursing home, they feel ashamed(羞愧的) because they think it is their duty to care for them, as their parents took care of them when they were children.
In China, elderly parents usually stay with their children. Children become their caretakers. This is one solution, but this situation is hard because the children already have their own families and other responsibilities. Sons are supposed to take on the responsibility of caring for their parents, but usually it is the daughters-in-law who take care of them. Their sons’ contribution is mainly financial. For women, this can be a great stress because they might also need to take care of their children and husbands.
Another solution is to pay a nurse that can take care of aging parents. Children will share the cost of this service. Having a person that can take care of their parents makes life easier for them. In this situation, they only have to provide companionship for their parents for a few hours a week or whenever their parents ask them to go to some place with them.
These two solutions are common, but nursing homes, at least in China, are unusual.
25. What problem do children often have when they take care of their aging parents?
A. There is a generation gap that affects the communication between them.
B. They may lose their free time and can’t devote much to their own families.
C. The children are ashamed of having to take care of their parents.
D. Children don’t want to take care of their aging parents.
26. How many methods are mentioned to care for aging parents in this passage?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
27. Who takes the main responsibility for looking after aging parents in families in China?
A. Male children. B. Sons’ wives. C. Hired nurses. D. Grandchildren.
