tPart A

tDirections: Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.

tText 1

tIn 1997, 25 Japanese citizens, all older than 60, launched Jeeba ( the name means “ old man and old woman”）to make senior-friendly products. They knew they were making history when they coined their company motto： “Of the elderly, by the elderly and for the elderly.” They do not hire young people, and the oldest of their workers is 75.

tWhile the streamlining effects of international competition are focusing attention on the need to create and keep good jobs, those fears will eventually give way to worries about the growing shortage of young workers. One unavoidable solution: putting older people back to work, whether they like it or not. Indeed, advanced economies like those of Finland and Denmark have already raised their retirement ages. Others are under severe pressure to follow suit, as both the European Commission and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development have recently warned their members that their future prosperity depends on a growing contribution from the elderly.

tWhether these changes are good or bad news to workers depends on whether they anticipate retirement with eagerness or dread.

tContrary to still widespread assumptions, there is very little hard evidence to suggest that companies cannot stay competitive with a rising share of older workers. At British hardware chain B
