问题     Debate about proposals to raise the retirement age of Chinese workers has been raging in China for the past few years. The compulsory retirement age in China is now 60 for men, 55 for female white-collar workers and 50 for female【C1】________ laborers.
    The same thing is happening or being considered in most countries with a welfare system. People who are living longer require pensions for more years.
    In China’s case, women are probably【C2】________ pension for over 20 years. Although people pay into pension funds, this does not【C3】________ their future pension. Pensions are financed out of current taxation, so it is our children who will actually fund our【C4】________ .
    In Japan people who【C5】________ retire at the age of 60 can still work for several years (until 65) for half or less of their last salary, because the retirement allowance is not enough for a【C6】________ life after work. The official state pension sets in at the age of 65 (probably soon 67) only.
    In UK too, but the problem is that they still have a huge youth unemployment problem. Employers are not taking on the new graduates and school leavers, so they just【C7】________ around streets and cause problems and manual workers are just not fit enough to keep going, and end up needing more【C8】________ help.
    A man from China holds that delaying the【C9】________ age to 65 for men and 60 for women makes sense. However, it’s even better if it’s coupled with delaying job entry for youths by 1-2 years by introducing military training or community service (like the peace corps practice in US in the past) or non-paid apprentice training (like that practiced in Germany) for our youths. These【C10】________ will not only benefit our youths but also solve any employment problems as a result of delayed retirements.
    A. pensions      B. options       C. retirement      D. sufficient
    E. cover         F. normally      G. decent          H. receiving
    I. alternatives  J. manual        K. physical        L. officially
    M. hang          N. consist       O. medical [br] 【C7】
选项
答案 M
解析 词组固定搭配题。根据词性，此处应当填入动词。Hang around“闲逛”先习惯用法，意为年轻人没有工作而在街上闲逛。答案是hang。
