Read the following passage about work and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
As people live longer and healthier lives, working beyond retirement age has become a common choice for many individuals. Advances in healthcare and improvements in lifestyle have contributed to increased life expectancy, allowing older people to remain physically and mentally capable of continuing their careers. In various countries, people are not only encouraged to work longer, but they often find themselves needing to do so due to economic factors, such as insufficient retirement savings and rising living costs. This shift reflects changes in both personal and societal views about aging and productivity, challenging traditional perceptions of retirement as a time for rest.
One key reason for this trend is financial need. Many retirees discover that their savings are not enough to make ends meet. This situation, combined with increasing costs of living, makes it expedient for them to continue working. With rising medical expenses and longer life expectancy, many feel compelled to work part-time or freelance to supplement their income, allowing them to maintain their standard of living.
In some countries, older workers are highly valued for their experience and knowledge, which benefits both employers and the workers themselves. Some companies have developed programs to accommodate the schedules and needs of older workers. These initiatives provide older employees with opportunities to stay active and engaged, while also offering employers reliable and knowledgeable staff.
On the other hand, working beyond retirement age can bring challenges. Older workers may face health issues or find it harder to keep up with fast-changing technology. For those who must work out of necessity rather than choice, the situation can feel burdensome. However, with supportive policies and flexible job opportunities, many older individuals can still enjoy a meaningful and productive work life.

Inadequate retirement savings

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 31 to 40.
What if there was a simple exercise that you could do anywhere in just a few minutes that was scientifically shown to improve your mood and your outlook on the future, at least for a while? [I] That exercise exists. It’s called the ‘best possible self’ intervention, or BPS, and multiple recent studies confirm that it can lift your mood and increase your optimism, at least on a temporary basis. [II] BPS involves completing a brief writing exercise in which you imagine your best possible self in a potential future when everything has gone right. [III] Take a few minutes to visualize that ideal life and then write a description of that life, and feel free to add as many details as you want. It may seem like this would not help much, but research done by Johannes Bodo Heekerens and Michael Eid of Freie University in Berlin has recorded remarkable results. [IV]
To investigate the effectiveness of BPS, the researchers conducted an analysis of 34 studies which required test subjects to do a written BPS exercise. The studies included a total of 2,627 people who were randomly picked from the overall population, with about three quarters of them being female. The result was a small but measurable increase in positive affect and overall optimism, the researchers wrote. Previously, they had also conducted their own study, asking 188 psychology undergraduate students to complete a BPS exercise. In the end, it was found that BPS led to improvements in mood and expectations both after the exercise and up to a week later. They suggested that future studies should look at what happens when subjects repeat BPS regularly and see if it produces a sustained improvement in optimism over time.
In the meantime, there’s really nothing stopping you from testing BPS: It only takes a few minutes, costs nothing, and will leave you feeling better. Also, visualizing a future in which you’ve achieved your goals will make it easier to bring them to life. In fact, this might be a good weekly ritual, maybe something to do every Sunday evening to start off the week positively. One advice is to not worry about getting your perfect future ‘right’ and just write whatever you think of. And of course, there is no need to focus on whether your writing is good.

You entered your dream university, your family life is going great, you have a healthy bank account.
