    After years of searching，a truth seeker was told to go to a cave，in which he would find a well．“Ask the well what is   36  ”，he was advised．‘'and the well will reveal(揭示)it to you’． Having found the well，the seeker asked that most basic and important  37  ．And from the depths came the answer：“Go to the village crossroad，and there you shall find what you are seeking．”

Last month the first baby-boomers turned 60. The enormous generation born between 1946 and 1964 is heading towards retirement. The coming "demographic cliff" （人口調(diào)查）will see vast numbers of skilled workers disappear from the labor force.

The workforce is ageing across the rich world. Within the EU the number of workers aged between 50 and 64 will increase by 25% over the next two decades, while those aged 20 29 will decrease by 20%.

Given that most societies have a tendency to retirement at around 65, companies have a problem of knowledge management, of making sure that the boomers do not leave before they have handed over their expertise along with the office keys and their e-mail address.

If you look hard enough, you can find companies that have begun to adapt the workplace to older workers. The tools they use to achieve are flexible working, telecommuting, and so forth. Some companies spend "a lot of time" on the ergonomics （人類(lèi)工程學(xué)）its factories, making jobs there less tiring.

Likewise, for more than a decade, Toyota, has been unusually keen to employ older workers. IBM uses its alumni network to recruit retired people for particular projects. But such examples are unusual. A survey in America last month by Ernst & Young found that "although America foresees a significant workforce shortage as boomers retire, it is not dealing with the issue（議題）. "

Why are firms not working harder to keep old employees? Mostly they are not hanging on to older workers the only way to cope with a falling supply of labor. The participation of developing countries in the world economy has increased the overall supply―whatever the local effect of demographics （人口統(tǒng)計(jì)）in the rich countries.

 

66．According to the passage, the most serious consequence of baby-boomers approaching retirement would be _____.

A．a(chǎn) decrease in the number of 20 to 29 year-olds

B．a(chǎn) loss of knowledge and experience to many companies

C．a(chǎn) continuous increase in the number of 50 to 64 year-olds

D．its influence on the developed world whose workforce is ageing

67．The following are all the measures that companies have adopted to cope with the ageing workforce EXCEPT _____.

A．encouraging former employees to work overseas

B．using alumni networks to hire retired former employees

C．offering more convenience in working hours to older workers

D．making places of work accommodate the needs of older workers

68．In the author's opinion American firms are not doing anything to deal with the issue of the ageing workforce mainly because ______.

A．they have other options to consider

B．they are unwilling to hire older workers

C．they are not sure of what they should do

D．they have not been aware of the problem

69．We can infer from the passage that _____.

A．people in most societies will retire at 65

B．Toyota has been the most active in taking on older workers

C．some companies are trying to make work less tiring for older workers

D．people's joining from the developing world has an effect on the rich world

70．What's the best tide of the passage?

A．Old workers in the US are ageing

B．The first baby-boomers are retiring

C．A worldwide shortage of skilled labor

D．The problems with the companies in the EU

I've tried to explain compound interest to my eight - year - old daughter. When I have finished it, she summarizes back to me, "So, you are saying if I put $ 100 in the bank, when I turn sixteen the bank will give me $ 200?" She has already grasped more of the concept than I understood at her age, but she couldn't clearly understand that until she sees them in action.

One day I gave her a Ziploc bag with a handful of pennies and told her over the course of a week I wanted her to give me a penny a day. I would deposit the penny in " The Bank of Dad" and compound interest would begin to accumulate the day she deposited the penny. At the end of the week we would check her bank balance.

Each day my daughter handed over one penny at the breakfast table and I deposited it in her bank. I gave her a "receipt" for her deposit and explained that she needed to keep up with the receipts to see how much money she had added to her account. In an effort to make this a little more realistic, I deposited a penny from my own piggy bank every other day to give her an additional four pennies at the end of the week.

On Sunday evening we gathered receipts and confirmed she had deposited seven pennies in "The Bank of Dad. " Then I opened the old film container and counted out its contents―all eleven pennies. "Hey, there are four extra pennies in there!" I explained that her original seven pennies had grown to eleven pennies because every couple days the bank paid her a penny for letting them use her money―that's interest. She paused and asked, "Dad, what would happen if you deposited like a hundred million pennies in the bank?
