America is growing older. For fifty years, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the populations will affect (影响)aspects (方面)of society –education, medicine, housing, and business. Quietly, the graying of American has made us a very different society –one in which people have quite a different perception (understanding) of what kind of behavior is appropriate (proper) at various ages.

An adult's age no longer tells you anything about that person's economic or marital status (婚姻状况), lifestyle, or health. There's no longer a particular year, or even a particular decade, in which one gets married or goes to work or goes to school or has children. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to get married, to school, get a job, or retire isn't as strong as it kept us on time and told us when to get married, to school, get a job, or retire isn't as strong as it used to be. It doesn't surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year –old grandmother or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public attitudes (态度)are changing.

Many people say, "I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age." No one says, "Act our age," anymore. We've stopped looking with disapproval (disagreement) at older people who act in youthful (young people's) ways.

71. The best explanation of the expression "acting your age" is ______________.

A. acting a part of a play when you are old enough

B. doing the things that people expect you of your age to do

C. playing an important role in the society when you are grown up

D. working hard and supporting the family when you are an adult

72. According to the passage, the population in America is getting older. Which will affect all of the following except ______________?

A. housing and business B. birth rate C. medicine D. education

73. Choose the best one to complete the sentence "An adult's age usually tells people something about what person's ______________."

A. schooling and interest B. family and housing

C. ability to so something D. health, lifestyle, economic or marital status'

74. In this article the author mainly tells people that ______________.

A. the definition  (定义)of age has changed

B. people's living standard has changed

C. people's attitudes toward other people have changed

D. people's fondness and dislike have changed

75. The sentence "I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age" means that______________.

A. I am much younger than my mother or my father when I acted my age

B. My mother or my father was older than I am because they are my parents

C. I am much younger than my mother or my father when I was at my age
