资源描述
Across the rich world, well-educated people increasingly work longer than the less-skilled. Some 65% of American men aged 62-74 with a professional degree are in the workforce, compared with 32% of men with only a high-school certificate. This gap is part of a deepening divide betweenthewell-educationwelloffandtheunskilledpoor.Rapidtechnologicaladvancehasraisedtheincomesofthehighlyskilledwhilesqueezingthoseoftheunskilled.Theconsequences,forindividualandsociety,areprofound.在发达国家,受过良好教育的人工作的年限比那些没有什么技能的人的越来越长。有65的年龄在62到74岁的拥有专业学位的美国男性还在工作,而只有高中学历的只有32的仍然在工作.这进一步拉大了受过良好教育的富人和没有任何技能的穷人之间的差距。随着科技的发展,那些有着高级技能的人的收入上升了,而那些没技能的人的收入却被压榨了。这种结果值得个人和社会深思。Theworldisfacingasastonishingriseinthenumberofoldpeople,andtheywilllivelongerthaneverbefore.Overthenext20yearstheglobalpopulationofthoseaged65ormorewillalmostdouble,from600millionto1.1billion.Theexperienceofthe20thcentury,whengreaterlongevity(长寿)translatedintomoreyearsinretirementratherthanmore发达国家正面临着这样的情况:老年人口剧增,而且寿命会比以往还要长。在接下来的20年里,全球年龄在65岁的人口数量会增加甚至会是之前的两倍,将会从6亿增到11亿。Theexperienceofthe20thcentury,whengreaterlongevity(长寿)translatedintomoreyearsinretirementratherthanmoreyearsatwork,haspersuadedmanyobserversthatthisshiftwillleadtoslowereconomicgrowth,whiletheswellingranksofpensionerswillcreategovernment budget problem。寿命的延长演变成了退休年份的延长,而不是工作年份的延长,20世纪的经验告诉很多观察者:这一转变将会减缓经济发展的步伐,领养老金的队伍日益膨胀,这将给政府的财政预算带来麻烦。Butthenotionofasharpdivisionbetweentheworkingyoungandtheidleoldmissesanewtrend,thegrowinggapbetweentheskilledandtheunskilled.Employmentratesarefallingamongyoungerunskilledpeople,whereasolderskilledfolkareworkinglonger.ThedivideismostextremeinAmerica,wherewell-educatedbaby-boomers(二战后生育高峰期出生的美国人)areputtingoffretirementwhilemanyless-skilledyoungerpeoplehavedroppedoutoftheworkforce.勤勤恳恳的青年人和懒懒散散的老年人之间鲜明的对比的观念遗漏了一种新趋势:有技能的人和没技能的人之间的差距越来越大。没技能的人就业越来越难,而有技能的老点的人退休年龄越来越大。这种分裂现象在美国尤为突出。在二战后生育高峰期出生受到了良好教育的美国人的退休期在延迟,而那些没什么技能的年轻人却已失业。Thateventhebetter-offmustworklongertohaveacomfortableretirement.Butthechangingnatureofworkalsoplaysabigrole.Payhasrisensharplyforthehighlyeducated,andthosepeoplecontinuetoreaprichrewardsintooldagebecausethesedaystheeducatedelderlyaremoreproductivethantheprecedinggeneration.Technologicalchangemaywellreinforcethatshift:theskillsthatcomplementcomputers,frommanagementknowhowtocreativity.Donotnecessarilydeclinewithage.有技能的人必须工作更久,但是退休后生活会很舒适。但是如果工作性质改变了那就要出大事了。受教育程度高的人薪资涨得很快,直到他们老了那天都会获得获得丰厚的奖励,因为现在受过教育的老年人比以往的老年人更能为企业带来效益。科技的变化或许能够很好地说明这一转化:人们从学习管理诀窍到发展自己的创造力来补充计算机没有的技能。这些技能不会随着年龄的增长而削弱对其的要求。56、what is happening in the workforce in rich countries?发达国家的 劳动力发生了什么?(B)A. younger people are replacing the elderly年轻人渐渐替代老年人B. well-educated people tend to work longer受到良好教育的人工作年限会越来越长C. unemployment rates are rising year after year就业率在逐年上升D. people with no college degree do not easily find work没上过大学的人不易就业57、what has helped deepen the divide between the well-off and poor?是什么拉大了富人与穷人之间的差距?(B)A.
