第 42 題至第 46 題為題組  In earlier time periods, the absence of dramatic transition to adult life allowed a more intensive interaction amongdifferent age groups within the family and the community, thus providing a greater sense of continuity andinterdependence among people at various stages of life. But, as greater differentiation in stages of life began todevelop, social and economic functions became more closely related to age, and the ages of family members becamemore streamlined, a greater segregation between age groups emerged.  The major changes that have led to the isolation of older people in society today were rooted not so much inchanges in family structure or residential arrangements, as has generally been argued, as in the transformation andredefinition of family functions and values. Under the impact of industrialization, the family surrendered many of thefunctions previously concentrated within the household to other social institutions. The retreat and growing privatismof the modern middle-class family led to the drawing of sharper boundaries between family and community andintensified the segregation of different age groups within the family, leading to the elimination of older people fromvisible family roles. The transfer of social-welfare functions, one concentrated in the family, to institutions in the largersociety further contributed to the segregation of older people. The care of dependent, sick, delinquent, and elderlymembers of the community, which had been considered part of the family’s obligation in the pre-industrial period, wasgradually transferred to specialized institution such as asylums and reformatories. The family ceased to be the onlyavailable source of support for its dependent members, and the community ceased to rely on the family as the majoragency of welfare and social control.

題目問為何以前的人比現代的人有較多的家庭互動跟互相依賴答案在第一段的 a greatersegregationbetween age groupsemerged.(指現代開始出現用年齡族群來區別)跟A 因為大部分的家庭功能並未明顯用年齡來區分其實我也不是很了解全文在說什麼，用大意來推測然後比照以前跟現在的社會來理解大概是指以前的家庭可能不太在乎年齡，彼此感情融洽互助但現在會有年齡斷層等類似代溝的問題所以家庭也不如以往來的互賴互助

42為何早期人們比起現今社會有較佳的家庭互動和相互依賴感?(A)因為大多家庭功能不會因為年齡而所有明顯區隔---In earlier time periods, the absence of dramatic transition to adult life allowed a more intensive interaction among different age groups within the family and the community, thus providing a greater sense of continuity and interdependence among people at various stages of life.早期,由於到成年生活沒有太劇烈的轉變,使得不同年齡層在家庭及社區內有更密切的互動,因此提供一個不同人生階段的人們之間一種較高的連結性與相互依賴感。

傳統社會是多代同堂,各年齡人士相互交融,以長老為尊;而現代化社會,幼兒送至托兒所照顧,老人被送至安養中心等機構,年輕人搬出老家外居,核心家庭取代大家庭,故老人與年輕人有較大的代溝(隔離)。
