文章段落中,[G]段提到了上了年纪的父母住在家里不安全和成人看护中心的内容,该段第二至四句提到,如果上了年纪的父母住在家里不再安全,对于孩子来说将他们送到成人看护中心也很难,不过有另外一种选择——可以改变他们的家以适合他们在那里度过晚年。
由此可知,题干是对原文的同义转述,故答案为[G]。
47.[D]。
题干意为,谈论长期护理问题并不容易,因为有时老年人会怀疑自己孩子有金钱方面的动机。

在介绍healthcareproxy时提到,它与durablepowerofattorney相似,只是它允许某人做出有关医
疗方面的决定。
由此可知,题干是对原文的同义转述,故答案为[C]。
50.[A]。
题干意为,Baldocchi不想将母亲送到疗养院,但是她又很难照顾她。
