Workers are returning to their careers, or starting new ones after age 65.

More than ever, work is where many of us get our sense of purpose. That doesn’t end at age 65. After being retired for only three months, Sue Ellen King returned to work at the University of Florida Health in Jacksonville, Florida, where she had been a care nurse and nursing educator for 38 years. She is now working part-time in a position created just for her. “It’s perfect,” she told The New York Times. “I get the satisfaction of having people appreciate what I do.” With the average life span for those who reach age 64 now getting all the way to 84 years old, those who reach retirement age still have many potential years of work to go.

Job sites connected toward part-timers, temporary positions, and some can also turn up opportunities that may lead to longer-term work. Fred Dodd tried a part-time job after his unemployment as a clerk for large banks at age 63. He’d thought about retiring then. “But part of me just wanted to keep working partly for the money, but more just because I felt I wanted to do more in my career,” he said.

The retired have the advantage of not needing to focus on the earnings potential of whatever jobs they take on, so these older workers are attracted to more meaningful work. And since they are voluntarily putting their skills and experience to good use, they may well have more flexibility than mid-career people. Two-thirds of retirees who’d come back to the work world were doing meaningful work they enjoyed. Legal work and community service were popular choices, as was teaching—all areas in which older workers might have an opportunity to make their own schedules.

Earning more money rarely seems like a bad idea, but it can cause issues for retirees, including effects when they claim Social Security (申请社会保障) benefits early.

1.How does Sue Ellen King like her work?

A.Interesting. B.Satisfying.

C.Boring. D.Encouraging.

2.What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?

A.Giving an example of successful returning to work after retirement.

B.Why Sue Ellen King found a nursing job.

C.What is Sue Ellen King’s work.

D.Giving an example of working full-time in a university.

3.What was the main reason for Fred to have a part-time job?

A.He was out of work. B.He could help large banks.

C.He had personal crisis. D.He liked continuing working.

4.Why do the retired like meaningful jobs?

A.These jobs have more flexibility.

B.These jobs have lots of potential.

C.They don’t care much for salary.

D.They can’t do very hard jobs.

People should listen to music for no more than one hour a day to protect their hearing, the World Health Organization (WHO) suggests.

It says 1.1 billion teenagers and young adults are at risk of permanently damaging their hearing by listening to “too much, too loudly”.

It said audio devices(音频设备), concerts and bars were causing a “serious threat”.

WHO figures show 43 million people aged 12-35 have hearing loss and the number is increasing. In that age group, the WHO said, half of the people in rich and middle-income countries were exposed to unsafe sound levels from personal audio devices. Meanwhile 40% were exposed to damaging levels of sound from clubs and bars.

The proportion of US teenagers with hearing loss went from 3.5% in 1994 to 5.3% in 2006.

“What we’re trying to do is raise awareness of the problem that is not talked about enough, but has the potential to do a lot of damage that can be easily prevented,” said Dr Etienne Krug, the WHO’s director for injury prevention.

The full report argued: “While it is important to keep the volume down, limiting the use of personal audio devices to less than one hour a day would do much to reduce noise exposure.”

Dr Krug said: “That’s a rough recommendation, it is not by the minute, to give an idea to those spending 10 hours a day listening to an mp3-player. But even an hour can be too much if the volume（音量）is too loud.”

1.What might be the main cause of hearing loss according to the passage?

A. Listening to music frequently.

B. Listening to music at concerts.

C. Listening to too much and too loud music.

D. Listening to music from poor audio devices.

2.How many people aged 12-35 were most likely to suffer from hearing loss according to WHO?

A. 3.5%.　　 B. 5.3%.　　 C. 40%.　　 D. 50 %.

3.Which of the following ideas would Dr Etienne Krug agree with?

A. Safe noise exposure is based on the limitation to both volume and time.

B. One hour of exposure to loud music a day will do no damage to hearing.

C. With proper volume, one can listen to an mp3-player for 10 hours a day.

D. It will be OK to be exposed to loud noise from personal audio devices.

4.What might be the best title for the passage?

A. Away from music

B. How to enjoy music

C. Risk of hearing loss

D. Warning of hearing damage
