After their children are grown, they expect to enjoy the life they have worked hard to create. However, the reality is often very different.

Around the world, there are millions of people who are “sandwiched” in between the older and the younger generations. There are two important reasons for the rise of the sandwich generation. First, people are living longer than they used to. In the early nineteenth century, the average life expectancy for adults in the United States, for example, was about 40, whereas today people live to an average age of~75. Therefore, children are taking care of their parents over a longer period of time. The second reason is that these days, young adults often live with their parents for a longer time than they did in the past. It’s more common for today’s young adults to return home during or after college if they need financial or emotional support. People who take care of elderly parents often face difficult issues. Caring for adult children presents challenges as well, and caregivers have to resolve many important questions. The financial and emotional pressures on the sandwich generation can be overwhelming. However, this time in life also has its rewards. It can provide a valuable opportunity to spend more time with one’s parents or children. However, in order to survive this difficult period in their lives, members of the sandwich generation must remember that they also need to pay attention to their own needs and look after the quality of their own lives. They can’t be totally selfless. Questions 56-58: Choose the best answer from A, B, C and D according to the passage. 56. What does "the sandwich generation" refer to? A. Today’
