以改变他们的家，而不是将他们送到成人看护中心去 。注意抓住题干中的关键
词liveathomesafely和adultcarefacility 。文章段落中，[G]段提到了
上了年纪的父母住在家里不安全和成人看护中心的内容，该段第二至四句 提到，
如果上了年纪的父母住在家里不再安全，对于孩子来说将他们送到成人看护中
心也很难， 不过有另外一种选择——可以改变他们的家以适合他们在那里度过
晚年。由此可知，题干是对原文的同义 转述，故答案为[G]。
47.[D]。题干意为，谈论长期护理问题并不容易，因为有时老年人会怀疑
自己孩子有金钱方面的动机。注意抓住题干中的关键词talkaboutlong-term
care、suspiciousof和financialmotives。文章段落中，[D]段提到了谈论
长期护理和老年人会怀疑自己孩子的内容，该段前三句指出，家庭成员谈论长期

述，故答案为[D]。
48.[H]。题干意为，除了提前进 行资金和医疗方面的规划，家庭护理人员
还有其他许多责任。注意抓住题干中的关键词planning forfinancesor

述 ，故答案为[H]。
49.[C]。题干意为，永久授权书和医疗保健代理委托书的区别在于，后者允许某人做出有关医疗方面的决定。注意抓住题干中的关键词adurablepower
ofat torney和ahealthcareproxy。文章段落中，只有[C]段提到了这两个
专有名词 ，该段第二句指出，护理指示应该包含adurablepowerofattorney、
aheal thcareproxy和alivingwill。在介绍healthcareproxy时提到，
它与durablepowerofattorney相似，只是它允许某人做出有关医疗方面的决
定。 由此可知，题干是对原文的同义转述，故答案为[C]。
50.[A]。题干意为，Baldocchi 不想将母亲送到疗养院，但是她又很难照
顾她。注意抓住题干中的关键词Baldocchi和nurs inghome。文章段落中，有
