【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[解析] W: Simon, how do you feel after retirement? M: Well, not very bad. W: How have you been spending your time? M: I have been spending more time with my family. I've also travelled a bit, you know, off-season when everywhere is less crowded and hotels cost less. W: Great. M: You know I haven't completely stopped work. W: Yes, would you tell us more about this? M: I'm on a scheme that's called phased retirement; I had a six-month break from work, after that I could apply for project work with the company I used to work for. W: How does the scheme work? M: Well, it's a trial at the time. Instead of employing temporary stuff, the company advertises posts on its website that retired employees like me can access.
