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 nations elderly population is bound to expand significantly 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 poses profound questions for government 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, were going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers,” says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern Californias (USC) School of Gerontology (老年学).Lawyers can specialize in “elder law,” which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse 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. “And student 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 satisfying.”1. “ Old is suddenly in” (Line 1, Para. 1) most probably means “_”.A) gerontology has suddenly become popularC) more elderly professors are found on American campusesB) America has suddenly become a nation of old peopleD) American colleges have realized the need of enrolling older students.2. With the aging of America, lawyers can benefit _.A) from the adoption of the “elder law”B) by enriching their professional knowledgeC) from rendering special services to the elderlyD) by winning the trust of the elderly to promote their own interests3. Why can businessmen make money in the emerging elder market?A) They can employ more gerontologists.B) Retirees are more generous in spending money.C) There are more elderly people working than before.D) The elderly possess an enormous purchasing power4. Who can make big money in the new century according to the passage?A) Professionals with a good knowledge of gerontology.B) College graduates with an MBA or law degree.C) The volunteer workers in retirement homes.D) Retirees who are business-minded.5. It can be seen from the passage that the expansion of Americas elderly population _.A) will create new fields of study in universitiesB) will impose an unbearable burden on societyC) will provide good job opportunities in many areasD) may lead to nursing home abuse and age discriminationPassage 2. Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos
