1 We have to realize how old, how very old, we are.
Nations are classified as "aged" when they have 7 per cent or more of their
people aged 65 or above, and by about 1970 every one of the advanced countries
had become like this. Of the really ancient societies, with over 13 per cent
above 65, all are in Northwestern Europe. We know that we are getting even
older, and that the nearer a society approximates to zero population growth, the
older its population is likely to be--at least, for any future that concerns us
now. To these now familiar facts a number of further facts may
be added, some of them only recently recognized. There is the apparent paradox
that the effective cause of the high proportion of the old is births rather than
deaths. There is the economic principle that the dependency ratio--the degree to
which those who cannot earn depend for a living on those who can--is more
advantageous in older societies like ours than in the younger societies of the
developing world, because lots of dependent babies are more of a liability than
numbers of the inactive aged. There is the appreciation of the historical truth
that the aging of advanced societies has been a sudden change.
If "revolution" is a rapid resettlement of the social structure, and if the age
composition of the society counts as a very important aspect of that social
structure, then there has been a social revolution in European and particularly
Western European society within the lifetime of everyone over 50. Taken
together, these things have implications which are only beginning to be
acknowledged. These facts and circumstances had a leading position at a world
gathering about aging as a challenge to science and to policy, held at Vichy in
France. There is often resistance to the idea that it is
because the birth rate fell earlier in Western and Northwestern Europe than
elsewhere, rather than because of any change in the death rate, that we have
grown so old. Long life is altering our society, of course, but in experiential
terms. We have among us a very much greater experience of continued living than
any society that has ever preceded us anywhere, and this will continue. But too
much of that lengthened experience, even in the wealthy West, will be experience
of poverty and neglect, unless we do something about it. If
you are in your thirties, you ought to be aware that you can expect to live
nearly one third of the rest of your life after the age of 60. The older you are
now, of course, the greater this proportion will be, and greater still if you
are a woman. [A] experienced in poor conditions.
[B] more likely to live longer. [C] discuss aging as a
challenge both science and policy confronts. [D] these things
have far-reaching implications. [E] the degree to which those
non-earners rely on those earners. [F] the older its
population tends to be. [G] the early drop in birth
rate.

C. Action Needed to Tackle Economy

DETROIT. Chrysler"s U. S. sales rose 20 percent in June on strong demand across its lineup, from the tiny Fiat 500 to the Ram pickup truck.
The automaker"s sales increase last month was in line with expectations for overall industry growth of about 20 percent over last June. Sales were weaker last year because the Japanese earthquake depleted supplies. Other automakers report sales later Tuesday.
Demand for Chrysler"s Ram pickup—its best-seller—increased 12 percent as home building perked up. Cars saw much bigger increases. Sales of the Fiat 500 and the Chrysler 300 large sedan more than doubled over last June.

Taibei: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, the world"s biggest contract chipmaker, has agreed to invest 1.1bn euros ($1.4bn; 850m) in one of its key equipment suppliers in a bid to cut costs.
Under the deal, it will invest 276m euro in ASML to develop tools to make smaller, more cost-effective chips. This comes just weeks after Intel signed a similar agreement with ASML. Dutch firm ASML makes machines used to print circuit patterns onto chips.
Shang-yi Chiang, TSMC"s co-chief operating officer, said that one of the biggest challenges facing the industry was "how to effectively control the escalating wafer manufacturing cost". He said the co-investment programme with ASML to develop future technology will help keep the costs in check in the long run.

WASHINGTON: Some Federal Reserve officials are reviving an idea that rose and fell with Alan Greenspan, the former Fed chairman, as they seek to persuade colleagues to take new action to stimulate growth.
Central bankers generally set policy based on their judgment about the most likely path for the nation"s economy. But Mr. Greenspan argued that the Fed sometimes should do more than its forecast suggested, buttressing the economy against large, potential risks. He described such moves as "taking out insurance."
On the eve of the Fed"s policy-making committee meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday, members who favor additional action argued that the likely path of the economy was itself sufficient reason for action. The committee predicted in June that without new measures unemployment would fall slightly, if at all, in the second half of the year.

Madrid: Spain is in an "unprecedented" double-dip recession and the outlook for the country remains "very difficult" with "significant downside risks", the International Monetary Fund has said. Its annual report on the Spanish economy praised Madrid"s "decisive action on many fronts", but warned further reforms were needed. Actions to cut debt and push financial reform were "critical", it said.
Earlier, figures showed Spanish unemployment hitting a fresh high. Almost 5.7 million Spaniards are now out of work, with the jobless rate reaching 24.6% during the April to June quarter—the highest since the 1970s.
Despite the worsening jobless figures, Spanish stocks rose sharply on Friday after French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel issued a joint statement suggesting they were ready to act to save the euro.
填空题
Old people are always saying that the young people are not
{{U}}(51) {{/U}} they were. The same comment is {{U}}(52) {{/U}}
from generation to generation and it is always {{U}}(53) {{/U}}. It has
never been truer than it is today. The young are better educated. They have a
lot more money to spend and enjoy {{U}}(54) {{/U}} freedom. They grow up
more quickly and are not so {{U}}(55) {{/U}} on their parents. Events
which the older generation remember vividly are {{U}}(56) {{/U}} more
than past history. This is as it should be. Every new generation is
{{U}}(57) {{/U}} from the one that preceded it. Today the difference is
very marked indeed. The old always assume that they know best
for the simple {{U}}(58) {{/U}} that they have been {{U}}(59)
{{/U}} a bit longer. They don't like to feel that their values are being
questioned or threatened. And this is precisely what the {{U}}(60)
{{/U}} are doing. They are questioning the {{U}}(61) {{/U}} of their
elders and disturbing their complacency. They take leave to {{U}}(62)
{{/U}} that the older generation has created the best of all possible
worlds. What they reject more than {{U}}(63) {{/U}} is conformity.
Office hours, for instance, are nothing more than enforced slavery. Wouldn't
people work best if they were given complete freedom and {{U}}(64)
{{/U}}? And what {{U}}(65) {{/U}} the clothing? Who said that all
the men in the world should {{U}}(66) {{/U}} drab grey suits? If we turn
our {{U}}(67) {{/U}} to more serious matters, who said that human
differences can best be solved through conventional politics or by violent
means? Why have the older generation so often used {{U}}(68) {{/U}} to
solve their problems? Why are they so unhappy and guilt-ridden in their personal
lives, so obsessed with mean ambitions and the desire to amass more and more
{{U}}(69) {{/U}} possessions? Can anything be right with the retrace?
Haven't the old lost {{U}}(70) {{/U}} with all that is important in
life?
