A reasonable assumption d

9、ont families struggle to avoid nursing homes and suffer real guilt if they cant?37.L） Of course, sons and daughters want to visit the facilities, talk to the administrators and residents and other families, and do everything possible to fulfill their duties. But perhaps they dont have to turn themse

10、lves into private investigators or Congressional subcommittees. “ Families can look a bit more for where the residents are going to be happy, ” Dr. Sloane said. And involving the future resident in the process can be very important.38.B） Does assisted living really mark a great improvement over a nu

11、rsing home, or has the industry simply hired better interior designers? Are nursing homes as bad as people fear, or is that an out-moded stereotype （ 固定看法 ）？ Can doing ones homework really steer families to the best places? It is genuinely hard to know.39.H） An elderly person who describes herself a

12、s in poor health, therefore, might be no less depressed in assisted living （even if her children preferred it） than in a nursing home. A person who had input into where he would move and has had time to adapt to it might do as well in a nursing home as in a small residential care home, other factors

13、 being equal. It is an interaction between the person and the place, not the sort of place in itself, that leads to better or worse experiences. “ You cant just say, Lets put this person in a residential care home instead of a nursing home she will be much better off, ” Dr. Robison said. What matter

14、s, she added, “ is a combination of what people bring in with them, and what they find there. ”40.N） The daughter feared her mother would be ignored there, and so she decided to move her into a more welcoming facility. Based on what is emerging from some of this research, that might have been as rat

15、ional a way as any to reach a decision.41.J） As I was considering all this, a press release from a respected research firm crossed my desk， announcing that the five-star rating system that Medicare developed in 2008 to help families compare nursing home quality also has little relationship to how sa

16、tisfied its residents or their family members are. As a matter of fact, consumers expressed higher satisfaction with the one-star facilities, the lowest rated, than with the five-star ones.（More on this study and the star ratings will appear in a subsequent post.）42.F） In the initial results, assist

17、ed living residents did paint the most positive picture. They were less likely to report symptoms of depression than those in the other facilities, for instance, and less likely to be bored or lonely. They scored higher on social interaction.43.C） I am about to make things more complicated by sugges

18、ting that what kind of facility an older person lives in may matter less than we have assumed. And that the characteristics adult children look for when they begin the search are not necessarily the things that make a difference to the people who are going to move in. I am not talking about the qual

19、ity of care ， let me hastily add. Nobody flourishes in a gloomy environment with irresponsible staff and a poor safety record. But an accumulating body of research indicates that some distinctions between one type of elder care and another have little real bearing on how well residents do.44.I）Such

20、findings, which run counter to common sense, have surfaced before. In a multi-state study of assisted living, for instance, University of North Carolina researchers found that a host of variables the facilitys type, size or age; whether a chain owned it; how attractive the neighborhood was had no si

21、gnificant relationship to how the residents fared in terms of illness, mental decline, hospitalizations or mortality. What mattered most was the residents physical health and mental status. What people were like when they came in had greater consequence than what happened once they were there.45.G）

22、But when the researchers plugged in a number of other variables, such differences disappeared. It is not the housing type, they found, that creates differences in residents responses. “ It is the characteristics of the specific environment they are in, combined with their own personal characteristic

23、s how healthy they feel they are, their age and marital status, ” Dr. Robison explained. Whether residents felt involved in the decision to move and how long they had lived there also proved significant.Section C46.C） It can be avoided if human values are translated into their language.47.D） They ar

His name is Epictetus,” he says. “And what the Stoics

27、 say in general is simply this: There is a larger plan in life. You are not really going to be able to understand all of the dimensions of this plan. You are not going to be able to control the dimensions of this plan. ”37.B）The wisdom of the ancient Greek philosophers is timeless, says Soupios. The

28、 philosophy professor says it is as relevant today as when it was first written many centuries ago. “ There isno expiration （ 失效 ） date on wisdom, ” he says. “ There is no shelf life on intelligence. I think that things have become very gloomy these days, lots of misunderstanding, misleading cues, a

29、 lot of what the ancients would have called sophistry （ 诡辩 ）. The nice thing about ancient philosophy as offered by the Greeks is that they tended to see life clear and whole, in a way that we tend not to see life today. ”38.F）To have a meaningful, happy life we need friends. But according to Aristo

30、tle a student ofPlato and teacher of Alexander the Great most relationships dont qualify as true friendships. “ Just because I have a business relationship with an individual and I can profit from that relationship, it does not necessarily mean that this person is my friend, ” Soupios says. “ Real friendship is when two individuals share the same soul. It is a beautiful and uncharacteristically poetic image that Aristotle offers. ”39.A） Is it possible to enjoy a peaceful life in a world that is increasingly challenged by threats and uncertainties from wars, terrorism
