【正文】 person could do better. Actually, many younger employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area or unit for most of their working lives.

A third point of view is that older people should be rewarded by society for their life’s labor by being given generous pensions and the freedom to enjoy their leisure. We now have youngsters who can’t find jobs because old people are choosing not to retire. Old people are not retiring because this new generation of “old people” think they will never die due to modern advances in medicine. With many young people unemployed or frustrated in lowlevel positions, there are often calls to pulsorily retire older workers. However, this can affect the older individual’s freedom and right to work and can depr ive(剝奪 ) society of valuable experience and insights. I feel that giving workers more flexibility and choice over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual. 32. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To explain the pulsory age limit.
