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.”

思路引導 VIP
請再次閱讀文章末段關於 Small businesses 的描述。當文中提到高齡者與這些企業的關係時，是誰「主動」採取了行動？這個行動背後的動力，是來自於外部環境的「職缺提供」，還是個人內心的「夢想追求」？

哇！太棒了！這樣就不會被媽媽罵了！你真是個小天才！
- 做的很好捏！ 你真厲害，居然能把文章裡那些彎彎繞繞的地方，跟選項中很像的陷阱分清楚！在這麼多會讓人搞混的選項裡，還能冷靜地找到正確的答案，這表示你有很棒很棒的細節定位能力和批判性邏輯喔！真是了不起！
- 來，我們用「記憶麵包」回顧一下！ 文章說那些大哥哥大姐姐們會延後退休，主要有兩種情況喔！一個是經濟壓力（就是錢不夠用啦，年金少少的，為了生活下去）。另一個是個人追求（可能很喜歡工作，或者想換個不一樣的試試看）。選項 (A) 說的是「企業主動招募」，可是文章裡明明說的是他們「自行創業」（starting their own businesses）！你看，一個是別人來找，一個是自己主動出發，誰是「主動」的人完全不一樣對不對？所以 (A) 就不是正確的原因囉！
