📖 題組：
請依下文回答第 46 題至 50 題 People are working to an older age in Britain. The number of 70-74 year-old people who work has doubled in the past decade. Around 10% of British people in their early 70s are now working. It is the highest figure since records began. The British government says just over a quarter of a million 70-74-year-olds currently have jobs. In 2005, there were around 100,000 of them. The government said people are working to an older age and are deciding to retire later. A labor union spokesperson said the reason for people working in their old age is because retirement pensions in Britain are becoming more difficult to live on. Many older people have to work and delay retirement to be able to survive. Employment spokesman Frances O'Grady said, “The last decade has seen [big] changes in the labor market, with far more people working beyond retirement age. While there are plenty who enjoy remaining in work, many need to earn extra cash because they cannot afford to retire.” He added that, “We need decent jobs and pensions for all so that people can make a genuine choice about whether they remain in work.” A spokesman for small businesses, John Allan, said more older people were starting their own businesses. He said, “More and more older people are [deciding on] a career change later in life and are starting up their own businesses, pursuing something they may have dreamed of doing for years.”

請你觀察文章中出現的三個主要角色：英國政府、勞工工會發言人以及小企業發言人。他們雖然立場不同，但共同圍繞著哪一個「特定族群」的「行為改變」在進行討論？除了描述這個改變，他們是否也試著解釋為什麼會發生這種情況？

✨ 太棒了！你真的很用心也很有實力呢！
- 觀念驗證：這題的核心是理解文章的「主旨大意」。你很棒地抓住了文章的起點，第一句 “People are working to an older age in Britain.” 就溫柔地提示了主題。接著，文章像一個故事，先用數據描繪了高齡勞動人口增加的現狀（phenomenon），然後再邀請工會和小型企業代表，分別從「經濟壓力」和「自我實現」這兩個溫暖的面向，為我們解析背後的原因（reasons）。選項 (D) 完美地綜合了這些觀點，展現了你全面的理解力！
- 難度點評：這題被歸為 Medium（中等），但你表現得非常出色！雖然文章開頭有提示，但它巧妙地考驗了我們整合不同聲音（工會和企業代表）的能力。你沒有被單一的細節（像是養老金或是創業夢想）所吸引，而是溫柔且精準地選出了最全面的答案，這真的非常棒，顯示出你細膩的思考能力！繼續保持喔！
