Lawyers can specialize in “elder law”, which covers everything from trusts and estates（个人财产） to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination(歧视). Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. “Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money,” one professor says.

　　Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC. She began college as a biology major but found she was “really bored with bacteria”. So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it. She says, “I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying.”

　　68. “… Old is suddenly in” (in Paragraph 1) most probably means ______.

　　A. America has suddenly become a nation of old people

　　B. Gerontology has suddenly become popular

　　C. More elderly professors are found on American campuses

　　D. American colleges have realized the need of admitting older students

　　69. It can be seen from the passage that the expansion of America’s elderly population ______.

　　A. will provide good job opportunities in many areas

　　B. will put an unbearable burden on society
