The financial expectation for upcoming seniors does not look particularly rosy either.People in the 90－plus rely heavily on Social Security and Medicare to help them pay their bills.According to the survey，half of the nonagenarians’ income comes from Social Security and 98.8 percent receive benefits from Medicare.

　　While these government aid programs are available to the elderly today，there is some doubt about their future solvency (偿付能力)．Recent reports estimate that the Social Security Retirement Trust Fund will go broke as early as 2034，a full 16 years before the 90－plus population reaches its peak.Medicare is not expected to do much better.This could mean that the financial burdens of caring for upcoming seniors will fall more heavily on the shoulders of their caregivers.

　　So while medical advances continue to increase life expectancy，the question remains: who will care for our aging population，and how will they fare financially?

　　1．The present definition of “oldest－old” refers to those who are ________.

　　A．60 years old or above

　　C．between 85 and 90 years old

　　D．90 years old or above

　　2．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A．The government has changed the definition of “oldest－old” age.
