28、tains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from whichthe information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph ismarked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2.How Work Will Change When Most of

29、 Us Live to 100A) Today in the United States there are 72,000 centenarians（百岁老人）.Worldwide, Probably450,000. If current trends continue, then by 2050 there will be more than a million in the US alone.According to the work of Professor James Vaupel and his co-researchers, 50% of babies born inthe US

30、in 2007 have a life expectancy of 104 or more. Broadly the same holds for the UK,Germany, France, Italy and Canada, and for Japan 50% of 2007 babies can expect to live to 107.B) Understandably, there are concerns about what this means for public finances given theassociated health and pension challe

31、nges. These challenges are real, and society urgently needs toaddress them. But it is also important to look at the wider picture of what happens when so manypeople live for 100 years. It is a mistake to simply equate longevity (长寿) with issues of old age.Longer lives have implications for all of li

32、fe, not just the end of it.C) Our view is that if many people are living for longer, and are healthier for longer, then this willresult in an inevitable redesign of work and life. When people live longer, they are not only olderfor longer, but also younger for longer. There is some truth in the sayi

33、ng that “70 is the new 60” or“40 the new 30.” If you age more slowly over a longer time period, then you are in some senseyounger for longer.D) But the changes go further than that. Take, for instance, the age at which people makecommitments such as buying a house, getting married, having children,

34、or starting a career. Theseare all fundamental commitments that are now occurring later in life. In 1962, 50% of Americanswere married by age 21. By 2014, that milestone(里程碑)had shifted to age 29.E) While there are numerous factors behind these shifts, one factor is surely a growing realizationfor t

35、he young that they are going to live longer. Options are more valuable the longer they can beheld. So if you believe you will live longer, then options become more valuable, and earlycommitment becomes less attractive. The result is that the commitments that previouslycharacterized the beginning of

36、adulthood are now being delayed, and new patterns of behavior anda new stage of life are emerging for those in their twenties.F) Longevity also pushes back the age of retirement, and not only for financial reasons. Yes,unless people are prepared to save a lot more, our calculations suggest that if y

37、ou are now in yourmid-40s, then you are likely to work until your early 70s; and if you are in your early 20s, there isa real chance you will need to work until your late 70s or possibly even into your 80s. But even if people are able to economically support a retirement at 65, over thirty years of

38、potential inactivityis harmful to cognitive(认知的) and emotional vitality. Many people may simply not want to do it.G) And yet that does not mean that simply extending our careers is appealing. Just lengtheningthat second stage of full-time work may secure the financial assets needed for a 100-year li

39、fe, butsuch persistent work will inevitably exhaust precious intangible assets such as productive skills,vitality, happiness, and friendship.H) The same is true for education. It is impossible that a single shot of education, administered inchildhood and early adulthood, will be able to support a su

40、stained, 60-year career. If you factor inthe projected rates of technological change, either your skills will become unnecessary, or yourindustry outdated. That means that everyone will, at some point in their life, have to make anumber of major reinvestments in their skills.I) It seems likely, then

41、, that the traditional three-stage life will evolve into multiple stagescontaining two, three, or oven more different careers. Each of these stages could potentially bedifferent. In one the focus could be on building financial success and personal achievement, inanother on creating a better work/lif

42、e balance, still another on exploring and understanding optionsmore fully, or becoming an independent producer, yet another on making a social contribution.These stages will span sectors, take people to different cities, and provideFoundation for building a wide variety of skills.J) Transitions betw

43、een stages could be marked with sabbaticals (休假) as people find them restand recharge their health, re-invest in their relationships, or improve their skills. At times, thesebreaks and transitions will be self-determined, at others they will be forced as existing roles, firms,or industries cease to

44、exist.K）A multi-stage life will have profound changes not just in how you manage your career, but alsoin your approach to life. An increasingly important skill will be your ability to deal with changeand even welcome it. A three-stage life has few transitions, while a multi-stage life has many.That

45、is why being self-aware, investing in broader networks of friends, and being open to newideas will become even more crucial skills.L ） These multi-stage lives will create extraordinary variety across groups of people simplybecause there are so many ways of sequencing the stages. More stages mean mor

46、e possiblesequences.M）With this variety will come the end of the close association of age and stage. I n a three-stagelife, people leave university at the same time and the same age, they tend to start their careers andfamily at the same age, they proceed through middle management all roughly the sa

47、me time, andthen move into retirement within a few years of each other. In a multi-stage life, you could be an undergraduate at 20, 40, or 60; a manager at 30, 50, or 70; and become an independent producer atany age.N）Current life structures, career paths, educational choices, and social norms are out of tune withthe emerging reality of longer lifespans. The three-stage life of full-time education, followed bycontinuous work, and then complete retirement may have worked for our parents or evengrandparents, but it is not relevant today. We believe that to focus on
