　　…Ofen, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and aged parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “ They worry they’ll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school,” says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears there is often a muchi bigger one: “that they won’t be alive enough to support and protect their child,” she says….

　　Q: What’s the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist Joann Galst?

　　A . Being laughed at by other people.

　　B. Slowing down of their paces of life.

　　C. Being mistaken for grandparents.

　　D. Approaching of death

　　【解析】

　　選D。根據(jù)題干中New York psychologist Joann Galst回到原文迅速定位，題干中的biggest對應(yīng)原文中的core和muchi bigger one。答案應(yīng)在冒號(hào)后面的引文部分：“擔(dān)心不能活到足夠大的年歲一直撫養(yǎng)和保護(hù)孩子”。所以選D，death對應(yīng)原文中的won’t be alive.
