When should people be made to retire? 55? 65? Should there be a compulsory age limit?

Many old people work well into their 70s and 80s, running families, countries or corporations. Other people,however, despite being fit and highly talented, are forced to retire in their fifties or even earlier because of the regulations of a company or the nation. This essay will examine whether people should be allowed to continue working as long as they want or whether they should be encouraged to retire at a particular stage.

Some people think there are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able. First of all, older employees have an immense amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to a business or organization if they are made to retire. A second point is that older employees are often extremely loyal employees and are more willing to carry out company policies than younger less committed staff. However, a more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to old people. To force someone to resign or retire at 60 indicates that the society does not value the input of these people and that effectively their useful life is over. Age is irrelevant to a working life, surely if older employees are told they cannot work after 60, this is age discrimination. That they become old does not necessarily mean they are going to be sick. Old people could be more aware, experienced and committed than some youngsters.

Others, however, think that allowing older people to work indefinitely is not a good policy. Age alone is no guarantee of ability. Old people are only ambitious workaholics who are too selfish and self-centered to believe that a younger person could do better. Actually, many younger employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area or unit for most of their working lives. Having compulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organization. In addition, without age limits, however, many people would continue to work purely because they did not have any other plans or roles. A third point of view is that older people should be rewarded by society for their life’s labor by being given generous pensions and the freedom to enjoy their leisure. We now have youngsters who can’t find jobs because old people are choosing not to retire. Old people are not retiring because this new generation of “old people” think they will never die due to modern advances in medicine.

With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low-level positions, there are often calls to compulsorily retire older workers. However, this can affect the older individual’s freedom and right to work and can deprive(剥夺) society of valuable experience and insights. I feel that giving workers more flexibility and choice over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual.

1.What is the purpose of this passage?

A. To explain the compulsory age limit.

B. To discuss the retirement age.

C. To examine people’s working life.

D. To introduce a particular stage.

2.Which of the following is NOT a reason for allowing old people to continue working according to the passage?

A. Their contribution should be valued.

B. Their experience should be made use of.

C. They can help the youngsters.

D. They are loyal employees.

3.It can be inferred in the fourth passage that ______.

A. The young people have more creative spirits

B. Modern advances in medicine make old people never die

C. Pensions and freedom are not given to the old now

D. Old people believe that a younger person could do better

4.The passage is arranged as follows:

Steps to Retire as a Millionaire

Having a million-dollar savings is a retirement dream for many people. Making that dream come true requires some serious efforts. While success is never a sure thing, the steps outlined below will go a long way toward helping you achieve your objective.

1.　　　　　　　　　　

Vacations, cars, kids and all of life’s other expenses take a big chunk(大块) out of your paycheck. To maximize your savings, you need to minimize your expenses. Buying a home you can afford and living a lifestyle that is below your means and not funded by credit cards are all necessities if you want to boost your savings.

2.　　　　　　　　　　

If you don’t save, you’ll never reach your goal. Obvious as this might seem, far too many people never even start to save. If your employer offers a 401(k) plan (一种养老保险), simply sign up for the plan and contributions will be automatically taken out of your paycheck, increasing your savings and decreasing your taxes. It’s like getting a guaranteed return on your investment. Finding the cash to stash (隐藏起) may be a challenge, particularly when you’re young, but don’t let that stop you from pursuing future riches.

3.　　　　　　　　　　

If you are looking to grow your wealth over time, fixed income isn’t likely to get the job done, and inflation (通货膨胀) can take a big chunk out of your savings. Investing in equities (股票) may have more risk, but is also statistically likely to lead to greater returns. For many of us, it’s a risk we have to take if want to see our wealth grow.

4.　　　　　　　　　　

Part of long-term planning involves accepting the idea that setbacks will occur. If you are not prepared, these setbacks can put a stop to your savings efforts. While you can’t avoid all of the bumps in the road, you can prepare in advance to reduce the damage they can do.

5.　　　　　　　　　　

Your income should rise as time passes. You’ll get raises, you’ll change jobs, and maybe you’ll get married and become a two-income family. Every time more cash comes in to your pocket, you should increase the amount that you save. The key to reaching your goal as quickly as possible is to save as much as you can.

A. Watch Your Spending.

B. Prepare for Rainy Days.

C. Start Saving.

D. Get Aggressive.

E. Save More.

F. Set the Goal.

G. Have patience.
