【题目】The passages below discuss the retirement age.

Passage 1:

In the United States,the financial crisis has left the country with 11 million fewer jobs than Americans need now.No matter how tough the policy ,we are not going to find 11 million new jobs soon.So common sense suggests we should make some decisions about who should come first:older people,who have already worked three or four decades at hard jobs? Or younger people,many just out of school,with fresh skills and ambitions?

The answer is obvious.Older people who would like to retire and would do so if they could afford it should get some help.The right step is to reduce,not increase,the retirement age.As a rough cut,why not make it a law to set a three—year window during which the age for receiving full Social Security benefits would drop to 62——providing a voluntary ,one—time,grab-it-now bonus for leaving work? Let them go home! With a secure pension(退休金)and medical care,they will be happier.Young people who need work will be happier.And there will also be more jobs.With pension security, older people will consume services until the end of their lives.They will become.each and every one,an employer.

Passage 2:

Too many people see longer working lives as a worry rather than an opportunity—and not just because they are going to be chained to their desks.Some worry that there will not be enough jobs to go around.This misunderstanding,known to economists as the“lump of labour fallacy(劳动总量固定的谬论)”,was once used to argue that women should stay at home and leave all the jobs for breadwinning males.Now /span>lump-of-labourites say that keeping the old at work would deprive(剥夺)the young of employment.The idea that society can become

better-off by paying more of its citizens to be idle(无所事事的)is clearly ridiculous.On that reasoning,if the retirement age came down to 25 we would all be as rich as Bill Gates.

【题目】The hottest“green”toy in Germany isn't made of organic or recycled materials.This one has a solar panel and only runs if kids remember to insert bright red “energy stones”that power the space station.Germany,a pioneer in many renewable energy initiatives,is also at the forefront of creating environmentfriendly toys aimed at making kids think about where energy comes from and how much of it they can use,raising awareness through play.A number of hightech green toys are on display at this year's Nuremberg toy fair,which runs through Sunday.

Among them,there are hydroelectricpowered(水电动力的)toy cars,and doll houses with wind turbines and rainwater catchers.The bright green “Future Planet”space station features an inner atrium(中庭)with a fan that is powered by a functioning solar cell.Its aim is to get kids to use their imagination about how energy will be created in the future.

Makers and retailers believe such toys will play an increasingly important role in their future—and that of our kids.“Energy is the question of the future and we are definitely thinking about this as we move ahead,”said Judith Schweinitz,a spokeswoman for Playmobil,maker of the solar panelfitted space station.“It is increasingly being brought into our play concept.”Green toys—which range from those made of sustainable materials to ones like the space station that just raise environmental awareness—make up only a sliver of the $ 84 billion international toy market,but their share is growing,studies indicate.Environmental research firm Earthsense,based in Syracuse,New York,predicts that green toys will account for about $ 1 billion,or 5 percent of U.S.toy sales in the next five years.Parents are smart and they want information about what's in the product.That's what's really driving the market.
