]B【导学号:33220146】(2017·甘肃省兰州市高考实战模拟)In many developed countries, people who have high degrees begin to work longer than those who don't.About 65% of American men aged 62-74 with a professional degree are in the workforce (劳动人口), compared with 32% of men who only finish high school.This gap is part of a deepening divide between the well­educated wealthy and the unskilled poor.Rapid technological advance has raised the incomes of the highly skilled while squeezing those of the unskilled.The consequences, for individuals and society, are profound.The world is facing an astonishing rise in the number of old people, and they will live longer than ever before.Over the next 20 years the global population of those aged 65 or more will almost double, from 600 million to 1.1 billion.The experience of the 20th century, when greater longevity (长寿) translated into moreyears in retirement rather than more years at work, has persuaded many observers that this shift (变化) will lead to slower economic growth, while the swelling(渐增的) ranks of pensioners will create government budget problems.Policies are partly responsible.Many European governments have abandoned policies that used to encourage people to retire early.Even the better­off must work longer to have a comfortable retirement.But the changing nature of work also plays a big role.Pay has risen sharply for the highly educated, and those people continue to reap (获得)rich rewards into old age because these days the educated elderly are more productive than the preceding (先前的) generation.Technological change may well reinforce (强化) that shift: the skills that complement (补充) computers, from management know­how to creativity, do not necessarily decline with age.【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了在发达国家有专业技能的人的工作年限更长及其原因分析。
