【答案解析】[听力原文]
A virtual village is a place where volunteer services are provided to help older people with activities they can no longer do on their own.
Judy Kinney directs a virtual village in Washington State. She said, "When someone calls us, they may say, 'I need help with transportation.' We're going to be able to work with them to see if there is a volunteer that can offer help. So that's a process we're going to do when someone picks up the phone. People call and say I need this help. We help you figure out the best choice."
Ms. Kinney's group is one of the five opened in the Pacific Northwest in the last few months. There, the most requested services are rides to the doctor, home repairs and help with buying food or medicines.
Tom La Pointe is opening "My Own Home" in Idaho. He thinks snow removal will be among the most requested services there. But he says general yard work and computer support will also be popular.
Tom La Pointe said: "On the other hand if you need daily care, that is not what we do. We don't do bathing services for example. We are here and we exist for the folks who might need a little extra assistance."
What do virtual villages provide?
文中说:虚拟社区提供的是志愿者服务,主要帮助老人完成一些他们自己做不了的事情。最后Tom La Pointe也谈到照顾老人的日常起居,比如洗澡,并不是服务的范围。他们只是为那些需要一些额外的小帮助的老人提供服务。
