  For an increasing number of students at American universities, Old is suddenly in.The reason is obvious:the graying of America means jobs.Coupled with the aging of the baby-boom(生育高峰)generation, a longer life span means that the nation’s elderly population will expand greatly over the next 50 years.By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995.The change sets questions for governments and society, of course, But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and in law and business as well.“In addition to the doctors, we’re going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers, ”says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California’s(USC)School of Gerontology(老年学).

  Lawyers can specialize in “elder law”, which covers everything from trusts and estates(资产)to nursing-home abuse(虐待)and age discrimination(歧视).Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history.“Any students who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money, ”one professor says.

  Margarite Santos is a 21-year old senior at USC.She began college as a biology major but found she was “really bored with bacteria”.So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it.She says, “I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying.”

A letter to Edward,a columnist

Dear Mr. Expert,

    I grew up in an unhappy and abusive(虐待) home. I always promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible. Now, at age 20, I have a good job and a nice house, and I’m really proud of the independence I've achieved.

    Here’s the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had places like mine—so much so that they make mine theirs.

      It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and stay out forever.

    I enjoy having my friends here sometimes—it makes the place feel comfortable and warm—but this is my home, not a party house. I was old enough to move out on my own, so why can’t I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy(隐私)?

                                                                                                                    Joan

Edward’s reply to Joan

Dear Joan,

  If your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.

  And if you’ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere(气氛), you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict(冲突)you grew up with—or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy. You need to understand that in true friendship it’s okay to put your own needs first from time to time.

      Be clear about the message you want to send. For example, “I really love your company(陪伴) but I also need some privacy. So please call before you come over. ”

                                                                                                                    Edward

  A. takes pride in her friends                       

B. lives away from her parents

60. We can infer from the first letter that __________.

  A. Joan thinks her friends more important than her privacy

   B. Joan doesn’t like the parties at all

   C. Joan’s friends visit her more often than expected

   D. Joan dislikes the boyfriends her friends bring over

61. In Mr. Expert’s opinion, the reason why Joan can’t tell her friends her feelings is that _________.

  A. she is afraid of hurting her friends 

B. she does not understand true friendship

   C. her family experience stops her from doing so
