The self-reported health of the newly retired improves so much that most feel eight years younger, a new European study suggests.
This happy news was true of almost everyone except a small minority -- only 2 percent -- who had experienced "ideal" conditions in their working life, anyway.
"The results really say three things: that work puts an extra burden on the health of older workers, that the effects of this extra burden are largely relieved by retirement and, finally, that both the extra burden and the relief are larger when working conditions are poor," said Hugo Westerlund, lead author of a study published online Nov. 9 in The Lancet (柳叶刀). "This indicates that there is a need to provide opportunities for older workers to decrease the demands in their work out of concern for their health and well-being. "

| Most big corporations were once run by
individual capitalists: by one shareholder with enough stock to dominate the
board of directors and to dictate policy, a shareholder who was usually also the
chief executive officer. Owning a majority or controlling interest, these
capitalists did not have to concentrate on reshuffling assets to fight off raids
from financial vikings. They were free to make a living by producing new
products or by producing old products more cheaply. Just as important, they were
locked into their roles. They could not very well sell out for a quick
profit—dumping large stock holdings on the market would have simply depressed
the stock’s price and cost them their jobs as captains of industry. So instead
they sought to enhance their personal wealth by investing—by improving the
long-run efficiency and productivity of the company. A. (A) Most big companies are run by individual capitalists. B. (B) The problem is that there are no incentives for productivity growth. C. (C) Let’s put capitalists back into capitalism. D. (D) Individual capitalists or shareholders with enough stock dominate big corporations. [单项选择]

Alivia’s government has approved funds for an electricity-generation project based on the construction of a pipeline that will carry water from Lake Cylus, in the mountains, to the much smaller Lake Tifele, in a nearby valley. The amount of electricity generated will be insufficient by itself to justify the project’s cost, even if the price of imported oil—Alivia’s primary source of electricity—increases sharply. Nonetheless, the pipeline project is worth its cost, because______. A. the price of oil, once subject to frequent sharp increases, has fallen significantly and is now fairly stable B. the project could restore Lake Tifele, which is currently at risk of drying up and thus of being lost as a source of recreation income for Alivia C. the government of Alivia is currently on excellent terms with the governments of most of the countries from which it purchases oil D. it would cost less to generate electricity by moving water from Lake Cylus to Lake Tifele than to do so by moving water from Lake Cylus to another valley lake E. (E) Alivian officials do not expect that the amount of electricity used in Alivia will increase substantially within the next ten years 我来回答: 提交
