   In some countries, societal and familial treatment of the elderly usually reflects a great degree of independence and individualism. Their 【C1】______ support is often provided by social security or welfare systems, which 【C2】______ dependence on their family. Additionally, older people may seek their own friends rather than become too 【C3】______ dependent on their children. Senior citizens centers provide a means for peer-group association within one’s own age groups. There are problems, however, with growing old, in the United States. Glorification of youth and 【C4】______ to the aged have left many older people alienated and alone.
   Some families send their older relatives to nursing homes rather than 【C5】______ them into the homes of the children or grandchildren. This 【C6】______ of the elderly from the young has contributed to the isolation of an increasingly large segment of society. On the other hand, there are many older people who choose to live in retirement communities where they have the companionship of other older people and 【C7】______ of many recreational and social activities close to home.
   The treatment of the elderly can be further understood by distinguishing between nuclear and extended family structures. In the United States the nuclear family, which 【C8】______ of the father, the mother, and the children, is considered "the family". The extended family, common in other cultures, includes grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces, and children in law. The  【C9】______ between the nuclear and extended family is important because it suggests the extent of family ties and obligations. In extended families the children and parents have 【C10】______ ties and obligations to relatives. It is common in these families to support older family members, to have intensive contact with relatives, and to establish communal housing.
【C8】
选项
答案C
解析 空格所在从句缺少谓语，因此空格处应填入动词，且能与of搭配。which在此指代the nuclear family“核心家庭”，根据该空格后的三个家庭成员可知，此处应表示“由……组成”，consists of可表此义，故C正确。composes也能表示“组成”，但需用被动结构be composed of来表达，可从用法上予以排除。
