Laurel Snyder is a writer of picture books and novels for children. In Orphan Island, she writes aboutchildhood. It is full of wonder and magic. She has a special way of dealing with this theme. Instead of a realistic
story about children with parents and grandparents, she puts her characters on an imaginary island. On the island,
everything is perfect. There are nine orphans (孤儿) who are living a happy life. Each day is full of adventure (冒
险) and beauty. Nothing bad ever happens to these orphans. They have food and homes. And they never get sick.
Just like real life, the children grow on this island. Each year, they see a boat come. And the boat takes the
oldest of the children, leaving a new child with them. When it is Deen’s turn to leave, a girl named Essy will
arrive.

her. After Deen is gone, she is the oldest on the island. She knows it will be her turn to leave next year.
Jinny does not want to leave, so she tries to find out why one of them must leave. In the story, she starts to

In the next few years, hundreds of millions of Chinese people will enter old age while the birth rate (率) is
dropping fast. Since 2016, the newly-born population had decreased for seven years. This is a big warning for
China. As fewer babies are born, there will be fewer young people to work and support society.
Experts say that if nothing is done, it will seriously affect the economy (经济), healthcare (医疗), and
social welfare (福利). For the economy, there might not be enough workers to keep factories running and
businesses growing. In healthcare, more elderly people mean more needs for medical services, which could causestress to hospitals. And for social welfare, there will be more people needing pensions (养老金) and other
benefits, but it will be hard to keep the current level of welfare, because fewer young workers will contribute to
it.
China’s retirement (退休) age hadn’t been raised for many years, Now, top officials have decided to
gradually raise it. For men workers, it will increase from 60 to 63. For women workers, it will rise from 50 or 55
to 55 and 58, depending on the job.
This change meets the needs of the modern workforce. People live longer and healthier, and many jobs
need less physical strength. Also, workers and bosses can reach an agreement to put off retirement even later.
These new rules started on January 1, 2025. They’re important for China’s future as they help deal with the
aging population problem and keep the country developing better.
27．Why is the retirement age raised?
A．Because people want more pensions.
B．Because the current retirement age is too low.
C．Because the aging population causes problems in many ways.
28．How many years has the retirement age for men workers been raised according to the new policy?
A．2 years. B．3 years. C．4 years.
29．The underlined word “current” in the second paragraph means “______” in Chinese.
A．简单的 B．现在的 C．下降的
30．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．China’s population is dropping quickly.
B．The pension system in China needs to be improved.
C．China is raising the retirement age to deal with the aging population.
