问题     Women from the mid-30s to the mid-50s are less likely than Americans
overall be very happy, and many are racked by worries about aging parents 【M1】______
and other family members, a national survey reports.
    Money, time and health concerns loomed largely in the poll of more 【M2】______
than 1,100 women who have at least one alive parent. 【M3】______
    About 20% said they were very happy. More than half of the women
were concerned about an elder relative’s health. 【M4】______
    Those who had ill relatives—usually a mother or father—were much 【M5】______
more likely to feel depressed and to worry about having enough time for
family members. They also had more trouble managing stress. About two
out of three women were employed.
    The bleak scenario doesn’t surprise Deb Rubenstein, a social worker
who counsels to ""sandwich generation"" women, those who have children at 【M6】______
home and aging parents. Later marriages, later child-bearing and longer life
spans are forcing more women into taking responsibility for their kids and
their parents. The ""sandwich"" years don’t still go away by the 60s anymore. 【M7】______
    Providing elder care was linked to feel overworked in a study of em- 【M8】______
ployed adults last year, so taking care of children was not. 【M9】______
    Such overwork may be common. In another institute study, 35% of U.S.
employees said they had elder care responsibilities during the last year. It
can be episodic, unpredictable and very stressed. 【M10】______
【M7】
选项
答案still — even
解析 still表示某一种情形继续存在下去，用在这里并不符合上下文。此处是表示一种令人惊讶和意外的情形，所以应该用even这个副词。
