21、   Research carried out last year stressed the growing challenge facing employers in terms of managing and supporting the UK’s aging workforce.

Figures from the Office for National Statistics have suggested that the number of people aged 65 and over still working has reached 1.19 million—up 25,000 from a year ago. There were also now more people aged 50-74 in work than ever before. However, the overall trend was hiding the fact that 12% people are forced to stop working before reaching state pension age because of ill health or disability.

Nearly half a million (436,000) workers who are within five years of state pension age have had to leave work for medical reasons, with an apparent divide between the North (worse) and South (better). Those in the lowest-paid jobs, including cleaners, leisure industry workers and people doing heavy laboring jobs, were twice as likely to stop working before retirement age, because of sickness and disability than managers or professionals.

Within this, the needs of the “sandwich generation”— those juggling work with caring for elderly dependents as well as children — needed to be given greater priority (优先权) by employers, a white paper by insurer and health care provider concluded.

Its research argued that 66% of managers think the average age of retirement in their organization will increase in the next 5 to 10 years. Yet, 36% reported being unaware of anything their organization did to attract, keep and engage older staff. Fewer than a quarter (23%) of employees said they felt supported by their employer with their responsibilities for caring for a loved one.

This was perhaps unsurprising, given that only 28% of managers said their organization had formal policies and practices in place to support these employees, argues health care distribution director Chris Horlick.

【1】According to the passage, who is more likely to leave work before retirement age?

A.Tom, a physician. B.Jason, a language teacher.

C.Henry, a construction worker. D.Bill, a bank manager.

【2】The present support from the employers can be best described as _________.

A.moving B.dissatisfying C.inspiring D.surprising

【3】What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Old employees are well attended in the UK.

B.Aging workforce should be well supported in the UK.

C.Employers show responsibilities for supporting their employees.

D.UK employers are facing challenges in supporting aging workforce.

22、   A miser (吝啬鬼) buried his gold in a secret place in his garden. Every day he went to the place, dug up the treasure and counted it piece by piece to make sure it was all there. He made so many trips that a thief, who saw him, guessed what the miser had hidden. So one night, he quietly dug up the treasure and left with it.

When the miser discovered his gold was lost, he was very sad and cried and tore his hair.

A passerby heard his cries and asked what had happened.

“My gold! Oh my gold!” cried the miser wildly. “Someone has robbed (抢劫) me!”

“Your gold! There in that hole? Why did you put it there? Why did not you keep it in the house where you could easily get it when you had to buy things?”

“Buy!” shouted the miser angrily. “Why? I never touched that gold. I couldn’t think of spending any of it?”

The stranger picked up a large stone and threw it into the hole.

“If that is the case (情况) ，” he said, “cover up that stone. It is worth just as much to you as the treasure you lost!”

23、“In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”

“Two full inches in the first three days!”

These are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper radio and television ads, promising good shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way add to beauty or desirability.

Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoters. The results they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health.

To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA (Food Drug Administration) can require proof under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act that it is safe and effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device, FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action, including seizure (查封) of the product.

One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, which had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that was dangerous to health and life.

Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings (法律诉讼), and new devices appear continually, Before buying, it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.

【1】It can be inferred that ads mentioned in the text are_____.

A. objective     B. costly

C. unbelievable  D. illegal

【2】The Relaxacisor is mentioned as______.

A. a product which was designed to produce electricity

B. a successful advertisement of a beauty product

C. an example of a quality beauty product

D. a product whose distributor was involved in a legal case

【3】The author intends to______.

A. make consumers aware of the promoters’ false promise

B. show the weakness of the law on product safety

C. give advice on how to keep young and beautiful

D. introduce the organization of FDA

【4】Which of the following is true according to the text?

A. The court is in charge of removing dangerous products.

B. The promoters usually just care about profits.

C. New products are more likely to be questionable.

D. The production of a device must be approved by FDA.
