According to the passage，which of the following are governments most worried about?A ．The diseases and disability of older people.B ．The longer life and good health of people.C．The loss of taxes on older people.D．The increasing respect for older people.3 ．It is stated directly in the passage that older people should .A ．be treated differently in different culturesB ．enjoy a similar lifestyleC．be ignored as society changesD．be valued by the younger generations4．Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?A ．Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.B ．Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.C．Providing free health care for sick older people.D．Supplying life-long learning programs to older people. 5．The author concludes in the last paragraph that __________________ .A ．governments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problemB ．population ageing is a hard problem，but it needs to be solved urgentlyC．people are too busy to solve the population ageing problemD．much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problem。
