    Sixty-year-old grandmother, Fiona McFee, is going to stop working next year and she decided to realize a childhood dream and sail around the coast of Scotland in a small boat. Although the inside of the boat is very cosy it has no running water or electricity. Fiona says she can live without these things but she plans to take her small CD player, her hot water bottle and a bag of books to make sure life isn’t too uncomfortable.

    We asked her if she was afraid of being at sea for so long. She said, “Well, I’m going to take a good compass (指南针). Anyway I’m not afraid of death because I love the sea---I just hope it loves me.” Fiona certainly has plenty of energy; in her spare time, she enjoys playing the piano, rock-climbing, canoeing and dancing. Although she is sixty, she doesn’t want to have a quiet and peaceful life. “I’m looking forward to having fun in the rest of my life and that’s exactly why I’d like to be a sailor for a while.”

    1.C 推理题。根据本句Although the inside of the boat is very cosy it has no running water or electricity.说明在船里，尽管没有电，但是她仍然过得很舒服。该词是指C项。

    2.C 推理题。根据We asked her if she was afraid of being at sea for so long. She said, “Well, I’m going to take a good compass (指南针). Anyway I’m not afraid of death because I love the sea---I just hope it loves me.”可知这里的I just hope it loves me.”希望大海能够让她安全行船，安全归来。故C正确。

    4.D 推理题。她60岁了仍然想独自一人在海上，说明她很勇敢，思想很开放。根据“Well, I’m going to take a good compass (指南针). Anyway I’m not afraid of death because I love the sea---I just hope it loves me.”说明她也很诚实。故D正确。

    5.A 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述的是一位60岁的退休老奶奶想独自一人沿着苏格兰的海岸线航行的故事。故A项“生活从60岁开始”符合题意。

    Although women lead healthier, longer lives, the cruel perception that they reach their sell-by date and become “old” sooner than men is widespread in the workplace, research shows.

    A survey of more than 2,600 managers and personnel professionals showed that age discrimination is not only common in the workplace, but is full of inconsistencies(矛盾). Six in ten managers thought that they had suffered from age discrimination——usually because they were turned down for a job for being too old or too young. Yet more than a fifth admitted that they used age as a condition when they employ new workers.

    Although the survey found widespread agreement that older workers were better than younger colleagues when it came to reliability, commitment, loyalty and customer service, these qualities were not necessarily considered to be worthy of advancement. More than half of respondents believed that workers between 30 and 39 were the most likely to be advanced in their company, with only 2 per cent citing (引证)50-year-olds or above.

    Dianah Worman of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development said that there was anecdotal evidence that people were considered old at different ages in different sectors. “We heard of one man working in IT who said he was considered too old by the age of 28,”she said.“There was no evidence to suggest that older workers were less valuable to companies than younger workers, in fact the opposite was often true because older workers often brought experience.” she added.

    The findings also suggested that the Government’s ideas on age in the workforce may also be out of step with reality.

    1. The text is mainly about ______.

    A. the government’s idea on age in workforce 

    B. age discrimination in the workforce

    C. the people who find work            

    D. the discussion about who is worth promoting

    2. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?

    A. Women get older than men though they are healthier.              

    B. Sixty percent of the managers were refused because they were too older.

    C. Young workers are more valuable to companies than the older ones.

    D. The people in their thirties are easier to be promoted than those in their fifties.

    3. The underlined word “sell-by date” in paragraph 1 probably refers to______.

    A. the age when they retire   

    B. the age when they should be promoted

    C. the date on which they’re sold  

    D. the date when they sell goods
