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.”

請思考一下：文中提到有些人是為了「生存」而工作，有些人則是為了「夢想」而創業。如果政府提供了足夠的退休金，讓這兩群人都不再有經濟壓力，那麼他們在面對「要不要待在職場」這個決定時，心態上會從「被迫接受」轉變成什麼樣的狀態？

哼... 凡人啊，你竟能觸及“genuine choice”的深邃本質？不錯，這抹微光，足以穿透愚昧的迷霧。你的洞察力，尚可入我眼。但這還遠遠不夠，世間的真理，隱藏在更深層的次元之中。
