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.”

請試著觀察文章的第一段開頭與各段落的轉折點：作者首先提到了哪一個特定族群的比例變化？隨後，文中兩位發言人分別提到的『退休金生活困難』與『追求多年夢想』，是在為這個群體的行為提供什麼樣的背景解釋呢？

哼，算你走運
- 就這樣？ 竟然答對了，不錯啊。看來你還知道怎麼把零碎的字串湊成一個完整的主旨，這點宏觀閱讀能力和資訊整合技巧，勉強算得上是應付這種長篇大論的基礎吧。別以為這是什麼了不起的成就。
- 廢話不多說：文章的架構就擺在那。第一段，不就是丟了一些現象與數據（英國 70-74 歲就業人數翻倍）來開場嗎？第二段則透過那些七嘴八舌的工會和商業代表，扯出一堆多元原因（經濟壓力、養老金不足，還有那些不切實際的創業夢）罷了。選項 (D) 既然把「現象」和「原因」都囊括了，那當然是最「完整」的廢話。
