This is why at the Third Plenum (全会) of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China it was agreed that there should be a study on the subject.It is undoubtedly necessary for the government to adjust its policies to meet the challenge of an increasingly aging society. According to the government, China’s senior citizens above the age of 60 will reach 200 million, about 14.8 percent of the population, by the end of this year, and the figure is expected to grow to 248 million by the year of 2020 and more than 400 million by 2050, when they will account for 30 percent of the population. Meanwhile, extending the retirement age will result in several benefits —slowing the rapid increase of the retired, reducing the rapid decline in experienced workers and keeping the labor-age population at a considerable size for stable economic development.However, before the policy is drawn up there will need to be thorough research, so there can be careful consideration of the interests of all parties to make sure that the new policy does not harm the interests of workers in different jobs.There are 112 million workers who do heavy physical labor and may not be willing to put off their retirement to a later age. And the opinions of government employees and other white-collar workers will also need to be listened to before a policy is introduced to extend their retirement to a later age.No doubt it will be impossible to please all, but it should be possible to make the policy acceptable to the most. Anyway, any extensions that will hopefully help reduce the negative influences of our increasingly aging society also need to be fair.1．The text mainly tells us________.A．China is going to enter an aging societyB．China has planned to extend the retirement ageC．extending the retirement age will bring about multiplebenefitsD．all people agree to accept the policy2．Which of the following is TRUE?A．China’s old people above the age of 50 will be about 14.8 percent of the population.B．There will be about 248 million elders by 2050.C．Extending the retirement age may reduce the experienced workers.D．Extending the retirement age may contribute to the economic development of China.3．What can be inferred from the text?A．All the workers will be pleased with the policy.B．The white-collar workers go against the policy.C．There can be many difficulties in extending the retirement age.D．The government should please all so as to give up the policy.4．What is the author’s attitude towards the policy?A．Doubtful.B．Objective.C．Optimistic.

Although Denmark has been protected from economic problemsthanks to its low public debt, qualified professionals are still finding it toughto get a job. Danish marketing firm Reputation Copenhagen has come up with a way of helping academics get noticed — putting them on display in storefront windows.Many highly trained professionals, ranging from former CEOs to lawyers and tax experts, are currently finding it increasingly difficult to find proper employment on the Danish job market. Some of them have been trying for years, leaving their resumes (简历) with dozens of companies, without ever hearing back from them, and are now at a point where they are willing to try anything, even putting themselves in display windows like goods, hoping to get noticed.Alexander Peitersen, managing director of Reputation Copenhagen came up with the idea of using his company’s office as a storefront for the campaign (活动), as there are many businesses nearby that might be interested in the talents on display. So he set up a small desk, put up the sign “An available academic is sitting here” and asked the unemployed to just sit in the windows like goods. It seems like a pretty desperate measure, but at least it works. According to the agency’s website, three of the job seekers in their window display got a job in a day or two.Peitersen says he came up with the idea after realizing human resource managers get hundreds of job applications every day, which look more or less the same, and that creative thinking is required in order to increase the chances of finding employment. Apart from companies interested in qualified job seekers, the campaign has also attracted the attention of both local and international media.5．Which of the following words can be used to describe Peitersen?A．Independent. B．Creative.C．Sensitive. D．Cautious.6．Some job seekers are willing to put themselves in the windows to display in that________.A．they think it is fashionableB．their parents ask them toC．it’s increasingly difficult to get hiredD．they find it’s interesting7．It can be inferred that________.A．no companies show interest in the qualified job seekers in the windowsB．both local and international media don’t agree with the campaignC．human resource managers have to reply to hundreds of applicantsD．to some degree the window displays help people find jobs8．What is the text mainly about?A．Job seekers are displayed in the windows hoping to get hired.B．The rate of unemployment in Europe has recently become higher.C．It is hard for qualified professionals to get a job.D．Denmark has avoided economic problems due to its low public debt.Ⅳ.短文改错(2015·渭南高三质检)Li Ming, the engineer, was born on February 9, 1960 in Hubei, China.
