People in their sixties should go to university to retrain because they will be expected to work for longer before retirement, the Government has suggested.
Older workers who take courses to keep their skills up-to-date will be more likely to keep their jobs, claims David Willetts, the higher education minister. He said the age limit on student loans to cover tuition fees had been lifted, making a degree course “great value” for older people. His comments followed a government report which found that the country's future economic success would depend on the skills and contributions of older workers.
One in four people will be older than 65 by 2033 and economists have warned thatthe ageing population will place a heavy burden on taxpayers unless more people work for longer. The state pension age is to rise to 67 by 2028. Ministers have warned that they have no idea when younger workers in their thirties will be able to retire.
Mr Willetts, who is accompanying David Cameron in India, urged workers older
than 60 to give further education serious consideration.“There is certainly a
pressure for continuing to get retrained and upskilled，”he said.“Higher education has an economic benefit in that if you stay up-to-date with knowledge and skills you will be more employable.”
Mr Willetts said a university course had “wider” benefits, making people more likely to lead healthy lives.“Education is such a good thing that it is not reserved for only younger people，” he said.“ There will be people of all ages who will want to study. There is great value in lifelong learning.” Under previous rules, students in England would get a loan to cover tuition fees only if they were younger than 54.
Latest figures showed that only 1,940 undergraduates starting courses last year were older than 60, out of a total of 552,240 students in Britain. Some 6,455 were aged between 50 and 60, according to the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
1.We can learn from Paragraphs 1 & 2 that older workers ________.
A．have no chance to get a loan to cover tuition fees
B．may hold back the country's future economic success
C．are encouraged to go back to university and retrain
D．should be retrained after retirement
2.According to the passage, a person who is over ________ years old can draw a
pension in 2028 in Britain.
A．54 B．67 C．65 D．60
3.What does Mr Willetts think of education?
A．People of all ages can receive different education.
B. There is no need for workers older than 60 to receive further education.
C．University courses have nothing to do with a healthy life.
D．Education is only provided for younger people.
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Britain: entering the ageing state
B．Over60s are told: go back to university and retrain
C．The situation of education in Britain
D．The system of pension in Britain

There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit of whisky(威士忌)at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle. When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873, she wrote in her diary, “I never saw a lovelier spot ,” And she didn’t even go fishing.
Scotland is not easily defined. In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light ,the rivers, filling with fish, can turn into streams of gold . As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy castle , any frustration（烦恼）will float away as gently as the circling water. It’s just you and purple , pink ,white flowers, seeking a perfect harmony . If you are a new comer to fishing, learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime’s fun. For many, fishing is more than a sport; it is an art.
Scotland offers interesting place where you can rest after a long day’s fishing. Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland , the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland’s mountains . Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains , and reaching its 1342-metre top is a challenge . But it’s not just what goes up that matters; what comes down is unique . More than 900 metres high, on the mountain’s north face, lies an all-important source of pure water. Its name comes form the Gaelic (盖尔特) language “usqueb” or “water of life”; And it is the single most important ingredient(原料) in Scotland’s best-known drink: whisky.
1.How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?
A. By giving descriptions.
B. By following time order.
C. By analyzing causes.
D. By making comparisons.
2.What is Ben Nevis special for?
A. The Inverlochy Castle Hotel.
B. The beauty of its surroundings.
C. The water from the mountain.
D. The challenge up to its top.
3.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists.
B. To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.
C. To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland.
D. To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland。
4.The story of Queen Victoria is to show that _____.
A. the Queen is rich in tour experience
B. the Castle is a good place to go in Scotland
C. tasting whisky is better than going fishing
D. 1873 is a special year for the Queen
I have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development, I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby’s point of view.
Mothers, doctors and nurse alike have no idea of where a baby’s blood sugar level lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.
It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say that a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate (提倡) a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King, who was against feeding in the night. I’ve never heard anything so silly. Baby feeding shouldn’t follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.
Well, at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ（智商）scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a strict timetable. This Research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample（样本）of 10,419 children born in the early 1990s, taking account of parental education, family income, a child’s sex and age, the mother’s health and feeling style. These results don’t surprise me. Feeding according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels. I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeding practices.
1. The underlined word “copper-bottomed” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. basic B. reliable
C. surprising D. interesting
2.What does the research tell us about feeding a baby on demand?32
A. The baby will sleep well.
B. The baby will have its brain harmed.
C. The baby will have a low blood sugar level.
D. The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8.
3. The author supports feeding the baby_______.35
A. in the night
B. every four hours
C. whenever it wants food
D. according to its blood sugar level
4.Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Dr King advocated feeding in the night.
B. Dr King was against a strict clock-watching schedule.
C. The author thinks Dr King’s idea is wrong.
D. The author thinks Dr King’s idea is right.
