The chief【C1】______to this are France and Korea, where it is 60, and Norway, where it is 67. Several countries offer early retirement【C2】______allowing people to retire two to five years before the standard age. And in a number of countries, there are【C3】______generous eligibility criteria for disability pensions and unemployment【C4】______for older workers. Severance (离职) packages, 【C5】______early occupational pensions, also help some older workers to make the【C6】______at relatively low personal cost.
It is【C7】______not surprising that the average age of actual retirement is often three to five years earlier than the standard official age.

The average worker in Japan and Korea retires at 69 and 67, 【C11】______four and seven years later than the official standard age. But these are the exceptions. In Europe, less than half of the male population aged 55 to 64 is currently working.
Life expectancy (平均寿命) at the average【C12】______retirement age can be as high as 18-20 years, about a third longer than it was 30 years ago. It is projected【C13】______increase further, so the retirement period will【C14】______unless retirement itself is delayed.

选项
A、enhance
B、prolong
C、reinforce
D、lengthen
答案
D
解析
语义衔接题。平均寿命的增加会使退休的时间变长,此处period做了主语,故答案为不及物动词[D]lengthen“变长”。[B]prolong虽然也有“延长”的含义,但其为及物动词,后需接宾语,若用在此处需要用被动语态,故排除;[A]enhance“提高;增加”;[C]reinforce“加固;‘加强”。
