听力原文: When people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use available community services such as adult daycare centers. If the caregivers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other responsibilities. In contrast, a spouse usually the wife, is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home. Social workers discover that the wife normally tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can in order not to use up their life savings. Researchers have found that caring for the elderly can be a very positive experience. The elderly appreciated the care and attention they received. They were affectionate and cooperative. However, even when care-giving is satisfying, it is hard work. Social workers and experts on aging offer caregivers and potential caregivers help when arranging for the care of an elderly relative. One consideration is to ask parents what they want before they become sick or dependent. Perhaps they prefer going into a nursing home and can select one in advance. On the other hand, they may want to live with their adult children. Caregivers must also learn to state their needs and opinions clearly and ask for help from others especially brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters are often willing to help, but they may not know what to do.

29. Why are adult children more likely to use community services to help care for elderly parents?

W: So naturally, our workers are always on strike. They are bored and they want more money to spend in spare time.
M: No. What worries me is that there is far too many unnecessary disagreements between workers, trade unions and managements. We haven't yet learned to work together-as a team.
W: Is that why so many of our industries are dying?
M: What do you mean so many of our industries and what do you mean by dying?
W: That's the word you used the other day about coal mining and cotton textile industry.
M: Why do people get so upset about these industries? I suppose it's because it used to be our pride and strength. Well, there aren't any more as far as I'm concerned, the sooner people realize it, the better. Then all the money, labor and technical skills wasted on them could be put into the spending of other industries like electronics, motor cars, IT industry, and even some industry like tourism.
W: What about industries in other European countries? Haven't they got the same sort of problems.
