第四课：The Tragedy of Old Age in America

1、章节知识点

1) 背景知识（Background knowledge）

Medicare and Medicaid

2) 课文要义（Main idea of the text）

Old age is neither necessarily miserable nor great by nature. Like every other stage of life, it has problems, fears and potentials. But the genuine tragedy of the old age in America lies in the fact that a society has been shaped which is extremely harsh to live in when one is old.

They are not welcome to the job training programs which provide opportunities to learn new skills. Instead, they are arbitrarily fired, forced to retire or resign. The old people are frequently cheated and attacked both in the streets and in their houses due to their hearing and visual difficulties. They are yelled at by bus drivers

for their slowness in getting on and off the buses. They are not well received or adequately treated by medical professionals.

Old women lead a more miserable life than old men. And at the bottom of the harsh society remain the old people of American Indians, African and Asian Americans.

f.false, fraudulent

g.untreatable, incurable

h.preserve, conserve

6) 难句理解（Sentence comprehension）

a.Americans find it difficult to think about old age until they are

propelled into the midst of it by their own aging …

b.Death is a dramatic one-time crisis while old age is a day-by-day

and year-by-year

c.Those of us who are not old barricade ourselves from discussions

of old age by declaring the subject morbid, boring or in poor state d.But this is not the full story. A second theme runs through the
