问题     When should people be made to retire? 55? 65? Should there be a com
pulsory age limit?
    Many old people work well into their 70s and 80s, run families, coun- 【M1】______
tries or corporations. Other people, however, despite of being fit and highly 【M2】______
talented, are forced to retire in their 60s or even earlier because of company
or national regulations.
    There are several arguments for allowing older people to continue work
ing as long as they are able. First of all, older employees have an immense
number of knowledge and experience which can be lost if they are made to 【M3】______
retire.A second point is that older employees are often extremely loyal em
ployees and are more willing to implement company policies than younger
and less committed staff. However, a more important point is regarding the
attitudes in society to old people. To force someone to resign or retire at
60 or 65 indicate that the society does not value the input of these people 【M4】______
and effectively their useful life is over. 【M5】______
    Allowing older people to work indefinitely however is not always a
good policy. Age alone is no guarantee to ability. Many younger employees 【M6】______
have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in
one area or unit for most of their working lives. Having compulsory retire
ment allows new ideas in an organization. In addition, without age limits,
however arbirarily, many people would continue to work purely because 【M7】______
they did not have any other plans or roles. A third point of view is that older
people should be rewarded by society for their life’s labor by given gener- 【M8】______
ous pensions and the freedom to enjoy their leisure.
    With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low-level posi
tions, there are often calls to compulsorily retiring older workers. However, 【M9】______
this can affect the older individual’s freedom-and right-to work and can
deprive society valuable experience and insights. I feel that giving workers 【M10】______
more flexibility and choice over their retirement age will benefit society and
the individual. [br] 【M2】
