Theres no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family.

Public ideas are changing.Many people say, “I am much younger than my motheror my fatherwas at my age.” No one says “Act your age” any more. Weve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.21.It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America_A. has made people feel youngerB. has changed peoples social positionC. has changed peoples understanding of ageD. has slowed down the countrys social development22.The underlined word “one” in the first paragraph refers to _.A. a society B.
