单选题 Which of the following statements about the Third Age in paragraph 2 is true?

A、 The elderly can't work in this stage.
B、 The elderly' s lives are full of pleasure during the whole stage.
C、 For the elderly, depending on society and death are inevitable finally.
D、 The elderly are afraid of death very much.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】第二段，作者在提出third age这一概念后，对其进行了解释this is the stage of life course after retirement，在这一阶段，activity，leisure and pleasure are enjoyed，选项B符合文意。文中说他们retire from paid work“从又薪酬的工作上退下来”，并不足说他们不能工作，A项不正确。
