4、le fear,or is that an out-modedstereotype(固定看法)?Can doing ones homework really steer familiesto the best places?It is genuinely hard to know.C I am about to make things more complicated by suggesting thatwhat kind of facility an older person lives in may matter less than wehave assumed.And that the

5、characteristics adult children look for whenthey begin the search are not necessarily the things that make adifference to the people who are going to move in.I am not talkingabout the quality of care,let me hastily add.Nobody flourishes in agloomy environment with irresponsible staff and a poor safe

6、ty record.But an accumulating body of research indicates that some distinctionsbetween one type of elder care and another have little real bearing onhow well residents do.DThe most recent of these studies,published in The journal ofApplied Gerontology,surveyed 150 Connecticut residents of assistedli

9、f theycant?F In the initial results,assisted living residents did paint the mostpositive picture.They were less likely to report symptoms of depressionthan those in the other facilities,for instance,and less likely to be boredor lonely.They scored higher on social interaction.G But when the research

10、ers plugged in a number of othervariables,such differences disappeared.It is not the housing type,theyfound,that creates differences in residents responses.“It is thecharacteristics of the specific environment they are in,combined withtheir own personal characteristicshow healthy they feel they are,

11、theirage and marital status,”Dr.Robison explained.Whether residents feltinvolved in the decision to move and how long they had lived there alsoproved significant.H An elderly person who describes herself as in poor health,therefore,might be no less depressed in assisted living(even if her3children p

14、ter to common sense,havesurfaced before.In a multi-state study of assisted living,for instance,University of North Carolina researchers found that a host of variablesthe facilitys type,size or age;whether a chain owned it;how attractivethe neighborhood washad no significant relationship to how there

15、sidents fared in terms of illness,mental decline,hospitalizations ormortality.What mattered most was the residents physical health andmental status.What people were like when they came in had greaterconsequence than what happened one they were there.J As I was considering all this,a press release fr

16、om a respectedresearch firm crossed my desk,announcing that the five-star rating4system that Medicare developed in 2020 to help families comparenursing home quality also has little relationship to how satisfied itsresidents or their family members are.As a matter of fact,consumersexpressed higher sa

18、 Sloane,a geriatrician（老年病学专家）at the University of NorthCarolina：“In a way,that could be liberating for families.”L Of course,sons and daughters want to visit the facilities,talk tothe administrators and residents and other families,and do everythingpossible to fulfill their duties.But perhaps they

19、dont have to turnthemselves into private investigators or Congressional subcommittees.“Families can look a bit more for where the residents are going to behappy，”Dr.Sloane said.And involving the future resident in the processcan be very important.M We all have our own ideas about what would bring ou

21、ced them to the other residents.When they hadlunch in the dining room,they sat alone at a table.N The daughter feared her mother would be ignored there,and soshe decided to move her into a more welcoming facility.Based on whatis emerging from some of this research,that might have been as rationala w

22、ay as any to reach a decision.36.Many people feel guilty when they cannot find a place otherthan a nursing home for their parents.37.Though it helps for children to investigate care facilities,involvingtheir parents in the decision-making process may prove very important.38.It is really difficult to

23、 tell if assisted living is better than a nursinghome.39.How a resident feels depends on an interaction betweenthemselves and the care facility they live in.40.The author thinks her friend made a rational decision in choosinga more hospitable place over an apparently elegant assisted living home.41.

24、The system Medicare developed to rate nursing home quality isof little help to finding a satisfactory place.642.At first the researchers of the most recent study found residentsin assisted living facilities gave higher scores on social interaction.43.What kind of care facility old people live in may

25、 be less importantthan we think.44.The findings of the latest research were similar to an earliermulti-state study of assisted living.45.A residents satisfaction with a care facility has much to do withwhether they had participated in the decision to move in and how longthey had stayed there.参考答案：36.正确选项 E37.正确选项 L38.正确选项 B39.正确选项 H40.正确选项 N41.正确选项 J42.正确选项 F43.正确选项 C44.正确选项 I45.正确选项 G7好了，以上是松鼠哥整理的英语四级真题的阅读理解-段落匹配部分（不含听力与作文）。在选词汇时一定要结合句子上下文仔细斟酌，注意辨析词汇，最后，松鼠哥希望大家以上的内容能给大家的英语四级考试有所帮助，最后，祝大家的英语四级考试顺利！备考课程推荐：零基础直达大学四级一步到位，高效直达四级水平；听说读写样样通，培养真正全方位英语能力！点击图片去学习8
