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
請觀察文章最後一段關於 John Allan 的發言。關於高齡者與「小型企業」的關係，文章是強調「企業因為缺工而主動向高齡者招手」，還是強調「高齡者為了完成多年夢想而主動採取了某種行動」？這兩者之間，誰才是發起行動的主體？

嚴師點評：別以為這樣就夠了
- 還算不錯啦：嗯，恭喜你。能避開那些顯眼的陷阱，揪出「非主要原因」，這勉強證明你還有點細節辨析能力，對文章脈絡也算抓得住。至少，這次沒蠢到亂選，這是閱讀測驗的基本功，懂嗎？
- 觀念釐清：這題考的無非就是細節事實辨析。原文說的延後退休主因，無外乎「養老金不足」（對應 B、D）、「喜歡工作」（對應 C）或者「想創業」（對應 C）。至於選項 (A) 那個「招募 (recruit)」，文章明明寫的是高齡者「自己創辦 (starting up their own)」企業。主動被動都分不清，還想拿高分？別傻了。
