5、 time, people have got into an argument about whether the age of retirement should be increased or reduced in their own countries. There are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able.Many people think that older employees have a large amount of knowledg
6、e and experience which can be lost to a business or an organization if they are made to retire.Besides, older employees are often extremely faithful employees and are more willing to implement company policies than the young.A more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to old people.
7、To force someone to resign or retire at 60 or 65 indicates that the society does not value the input of these people and that effectively their useful life is over. Allowing old people to work indefinitely(无限地), however, is not always a good policy.Some people took the strong view that age alone is
8、no guarantee of ability.Many young employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area for most of their working lives.Having compulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organization.On the other hand, older people should be rewarded by society for their l
9、ifes labor by being given generous pensions and the freedom to enjoy leisure.They can have time to do whatever they like, that is, they can have their own plans or roles and achieve their retirement goals. With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low-level positions, there are often calls
10、to compulsorily retire older workers.However, this can affect the older individuals freedom and right to work.In my opinion, giving workers more choices over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual. 1.According to the passage, older people should go on with work because_. A. the
11、y will help the business not to fail quickly B. they have grasped much practical experience C. they need to have a sense of achievement D. they want to learn more knowledge 2. The third paragraph is mainly to tell us that_. A. older people cant do their work well B. young people usually have new ide

13、e Ream?” The deep, gentle voice helped calm the nervous girl. Asking a favor of the President of the United States was no casual matter, especially for a seventeen-year-old girl. “Yes, sir,” she replied, her dark eyes meeting his. “I wouldnt have duo ask you, but my teacher, Mr. Mills, says I am rea
14、dy. I plan to make it in an admirable manner. “ President Lincoln smiled. “Painters, sculptors-theyve all tried to make the best of this ordinary face, but Im afraid theres not much hope. What did you have in mind, Miss Ream? Abust(半身像)?” Before Vinnie could say yes, the President hurried on, a shad
15、e of apology in his voice. “Of course-I shouldnt have asked.Afull-length pose would be much too big a project for a young woman your size. “ Vinnies face turned red. She realized she looked like a child, with her tiny figure. “Small does not mean weak, sir,” she defended herself. “I was born in the
16、country of Wisconsin. Ive driven teams of horses and carried water. Making a full-length clay(粘土) figure would not exhaust my strength-and that is what I intend to do!” The Presidents eyes, brightened at her show of spirit. “Sorry, madam, I have underestimated you as I didnt know your background.” B
17、ut his smile faded as he rubbed his beard with bony fingers, in thought. “Miss Ream,” he sighed, “Id like to let you do it, but as you know, we are in the middle of a war. How could I possibly take the time to pose for a sculpture now? I hardly have a minute to myself.” Vinnie glanced around and not
18、ed the size of his office. “I work quickly,” she said. Her voice was soft but confident as she pointed to the corner near the windows. “If I were to bring my clay here and work for three hours every afternoon, I could complete most of the project while you are at your desk.” The President seemed to
19、consider her idea seriously. He got up and shook Vinnies hand warmly, “Ive heard that you are a talented young woman, and I have found you charming and intelligent as well. I cannot make my decision immediately, but you will hear from me soon.” The very next day, Vinnie received an invitation from t

Devi confidently slipped into the water and held onto the side of the pool, expecting to be able to touch the bottom
41、with her feet. But when Devi let go of the side of the pool, she slipped under the waterthe whole pool was one big deep end! Devi threw her arm toward the side of the pool and grabbed the ledge (池壁), out of breath. “I really cant swim! Everyones going to laugh at me!” she thought to herself in a pan
42、ic. On the next field trip to the pool, Devi sat on the side on a bench, paralyzed with fear. She huddled with a towel over her shoulders, too embarrassed to try again. When she came home, her mother noticed right away that Devi was upset. “Honey, Ive signed you up for Angelas swimming lessons at th

Scanning around, Devi spotted her instructor across the pool, together with the little kids who jumped into the water like fish leaping into the ocean. She watched in amazement. Envious
46、as Devi was, a flush of embarrassment soon crept to her cheeks when a little girl passed by, asking her not to be scared. How embarrassing! She hung her head. Soon Angela came over to where Devi sat and introduced herself. Devi was astonished to be made aware that Angela had never learned swimming u
47、ntil she was 20. Greatly inspired, Devi now regained hope. She entered the pool a second time in the company of Angela, several cheerful kids floating near to cheer her on.
