【正文】 productive skills, vitality, happiness, and friendship. H) The same is true for education. It is impossible that a single shot of education, administered in childhood and early adulthood, will be able to support a sustained, 60year career. If you factor in the projected rates of technological change, either your skills will bee unnecessary, or your industry outdated. That means that everyone will, at some point in their life, have to make a number of major reinvestments in their skills. I) It seems likely, then’ that the traditional threestage life will evolve into multiple stages containing two, three, or even more different careers. Each of these stages could potentially be different. In one the focus could be on building financial success and personal achievement, in another on creating a better work/life balance, still another on exploring and understanding options more fully, or being an independent producer, yet another on making a social contribution. These stages will span sectors, take people to different cities, and provide a foundation for building a wide variety of skills. J) Transitions between stages could be marked with sabbaticals (休假) as people find time to rest and recharge their health, reinvest in their relationships, or improve their skills. At times, these breaks and transitions will be selfdetermined, at others they will be forced as existing roles, firms, or industries cease to exist. K) A multistage life will have profound changes not just in how you manage your career, but also in your approach to life. An increasingly important skill will be your ability to deal with change and even wele it. A threestage life has few transitions, while a multistage life has many. That is why being selfaware, investing in broader networks of friends, and being open to new ideas will bee even more crucial skills. L) These multistage lives will create extraordinary variety across groups of people simply because there are so many ways of sequencing the stages. More stages mean more possible sequences. M) With this variety will e the end of the close association of age and stage. In a threestage life, people leave university at the same time and the same age, they tend to start their careers and family at the same age, they proceed through middle management all roughly the same time, and then move into retirement within a few years of each other. In a multistage life, you could be an undergraduate at 20, 40, or 60。 others were done with a mixedage population. Some asked subjects about incidents where someone close to them—family or friend—had called them by another persons name. The other surveys asked about times when subjects had themselves called someone close to them by the wrong name. All the surveys found that people mixed up names within relationship groups such as grandchildren, friends and siblings but hardly ever crossed these boundaries. In general, the study found that undergraduates were almost as likely as old people to make this mistake and men as likely as women. Older people and women made the mistake slightly more often, but that may be because grandparents have more grandchildren to mix up than parents have children. Also, mothers may call on their children more often than fathers, given traditional gender norms. There was no evidence that errors occurred more when the misnamer was frustrated, tired or angry. 51.

You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2. 舞獅作為中國傳統(tǒng)民間表演已有2000多年歷史。獅子舞也可能出現(xiàn)在其他重要場合，如商店開業(yè)和結(jié)婚典禮，往往吸引許多人觀賞。他們熟練配合，模仿獅子的各種動作。 and bee an independent producer at any age. N) Current life structures, career paths, educational choices, and social norms are out of tune with the emerging reality of longer lifespans. The threestage life of fulltime education, followed by continuous work, and then plete retirement may have worked for our parents or even grandparents, but it is not relevant today. We believe that to focus on longevity as primarily an issue of aging is to miss its full implications. Longevity is not necessarily about being old
