　　Retirement Brings Most a Big Health Boost

　　The self-reported health of the newly retired improves so much that most feel eight years younger,a new European study suggests.

　　This happy news was true of almost everyone except a small minority-only 2 percent-who had experienced "ideal" conditions in their working life, anyway.

　　"The results really say three things: that work puts an extra burden on the health of older workers, that the effects of this extra burden are largely relieved by retirement and, finally, that both the extra burden and the relief are larger when working conditions are poor," said Hugo Westerlund,lead author of a study published online Nov. 9 in The Lancet. "This indicates that there is a need to provide opportunities for older workers to decrease the demands in their work out of concern of their health and well-being. "

　　But of course, added Westerlund, who is head of epidemiology at the Stress Research Institute at Stockholm University in Sweden"not all older workers suffer from poor perceived health. Many are indeed remarkably healthy and fit for work. But sooner or later, everyone has to slow down because of old age catching up. "

　　Last week, the same group of researchers reported that workers slept better after retirement than before. "Sleep improves at retirement, which suggests that sleeping could be a mediator between work and perception of poor health, "Westerlund said.

　　This study looked at what the same 15,000 French workers, most of them men, had to say about their own health up to seven years pre-retirement and up to seven years post-retirement.

　　As participants got closer to retirement age, their perception of their own health declined, but went up again during the first year of retirement.

　　Those who reported being in poorer health declined from 19. 2 percent in the year prior to retirement to 14.3 percent by the end of the first year after retiring. According to the researchers, that means post-retirement levels of poor health fell to levels last seen eight years previously.

　　The changes were seen in both men and women, across different occupations, and lasted through the first seven years of not punching the clock.

　　Workers who felt worse before retirement and had lower working conditions reported greater improvements as soon as they retired, the team found.

　　參考答案及解析

　　16．A [解析]即該句表述正確。從第一段我們知道調(diào)查顯示剛退休的人健康狀況都有好轉(zhuǎn)，他們更聲稱自己年輕了8歲。而第二段告訴我們有少部分人不認(rèn)為自己健康有所改善。 17．B [解析]即該句表述不正確。從第三段我們了解到工作會給年齡大的人帶來額外的負(fù)擔(dān)，并且對健康有很大的影響，因此不能像要求年輕人一樣要求他們。

　　18．C [解析]即文中并未提到。通讀本文，作者并未提到老年工作者與年輕工作者如何相處的話題。

　　19．C [解析]即文中并未提及。文中并未談到歐洲人是否比其他地方的人老得快。

　　20．A[解析]即該句表述正確。從第五段和第六段我們知道該研究針對的是退休前退休后的老人對自己健康狀況的自述。因此該句是正確的。

　　21．B [解析]即該句表述不正確。從第五段我們知道該調(diào)查是對法國老人健康的調(diào)查。

　　22．C[解析]即文中并未提及。文章并未提到這項(xiàng)研究的發(fā)現(xiàn)是否適用于全世界。
