     The number of women over 65 who are still working has increased by more than a third in the past ten
years. Do these women really like working? Women live longer than men, so they have to save more money
for their retired (退休的) lives. Women earn (挣) less, so they save less. And they work few years because
they have to look after children or elderly parents.
     How can we help women find a way to retire when they want to? Here are some thoughts:
     (1) Right now only 47% 0f working women take part in a company retirement plan. American business
can do much more to help that number grow.
     (2) Knowledge is power (力量). 53% 0f women who have a retirement plan said they would increase
their income (收入) if they had a chance to receive financial (财经的) education.
     (3) Non-working women can invest (投资) up to $5,000 every year to increase' their income.
     These ideas can help women work longer, not because they have to but because they want to.You can

     As the sun rose, a dewdrop (露珠) woke up.  There it sat on a leaf, catching the sunlight. Proud of its
simple beauty,  it was very happy.  Around it were other dewdrops,  some on the same leaf and some on
other leaves. The dewdrop was sure that it was the best, the most special dewdrop of them all.
     Ah, it was good to be a dewdrop.
     The  wind  blew  and  the plant began to shake,  tipping  (使倾斜)  the leaf . The  dewdrop  became
frightened as it started to move towards the edge (边缘)of the leaf. Why was this happening? Things were comfortable. Things were safe. Why did they have to change? Why? Why?

     Finally, it fell. Below there was a mirror. A reflection of the dewdrop seemed to be coming up to meet
it.  Closer and closer they came together until finally.., the small dewdrop became a part of the great pond (池塘). Now the dewdrop was no more, but it was not destroyed.
