People in their sixties should go to university to retrain because they will be expected to work for longer before retirement，the Government has suggested.

Older workers who take courses to keep their skills up to date will be more likely to keep their jobs，claims David Willetts，the higher education minister.He said the age limit on student loans to cover tuition fees had been lifted，making a degree course “great value”for older people.His comments followed a government report which found that the country's future economic success would depend on the skills and contributions of older workers.

One in four people will be older than 65 by 2033 and economists have warned that the ageing population will place a heavy burden on taxpayers unless more people work for longer. The state pension age is to rise to 67 by 2028.Ministers have warned that they have no idea when younger workers in their thirties will be able to retire.

Mr Willetts，who is accompanying David Cameron in India，urged workers older than 60 to give further education serious consideration.“There is certainly a pressure for continuing to get retrained and upskilled，”he said.“Higher education has an economic benefit in that if you stay up to date with knowledge and skills you will be more employable.”

Mr Willetts said a university course had“wider”benefits，making people more likely to lead healthy lives.“Education is such a good thing that it is not reserved for only younger people，”he said.“There will be people of all ages who will want to study.There is great value in lifelong learning.”Under previous rules，students in England would get a loan to cover tuition fees only if they were younger than 54.

Latest figures showed that only 1,940 undergraduates starting courses last year were older than 60，out of a total of 552,240 students in Britain.Some 6,455 were aged between 50 and 60，according to the Higher Education Statistics Agency.

A．should be retrained after retirement

D．are encouraged to go back to university and retrain

2．According to the passage，a person who is over________years old can draw a pension in 2028 in Britain.

A．54 B．60 C．65 D．67

3．What does Mr Willetts think of education?

A．There is no need for workers older than 60 to receive further education.

B．University courses have nothing to do with a healthy life.

C．Education is only provided for younger people.

D．People of all ages can receive different education.

4．What does the author mainly imply in the last paragraph?

A．The number of students in Britain is large.

B．The number of students aged over 60 years old is small.

C．The elderly don't like the courses for undergraduates.

D．The elderly refuse to receive education.

Taxi，the underground，driving...in London these means of transport are expensive.As a student on a budget，I couldn't afford the 30 pounds ( around 300 yuan) fare for a taxi.Even a bus was one pound and 20 pence ( about 12 yuan) for a single ticket.I didn't need to travel this way anyway.I had Mabel—my London bike.

When I moved to Beijing，like every foreigner，I was delighted to discover I could take a cab for cheaper than a single journey on the subway.But something was wrong.I missed Mabel.That was when I met Mandarin Mabel also known as Mandy，my Beijing bike.In many ways，Beijing is made for：It is a flat，easy land compared with hilly London.The cycling city's north/south/east/west square structure is also easier to travel than London's unplanned，twisting streets.

However，Beijing comes completely with its own dangers.The rules of the road are flexible.Bikes，cars，passers by all float up and down ways in both directions.

Compared with London's terrible cycle paths，in Beijing，every road has huge，wide cycle ways.But cars，taxis and motorbikes see no reason why they shouldn't use the cycle ways as a shortcut，and why they shouldn't announce you to get out of their way when they do.

Beijing traffic is more good natured.In London，the road is an active war.People shout，quarrel and beat on each other's windows.In Beijing zone，drivers never get actively angry.In fact，often they ignore cyclists.Obviously that means it's up to the cyclists to see them.

Mandy is a tree Beijing bike.It is nearly broken，it makes loud noises every time you ride on it，and I have had to make several emergency repair stops for it.

But cycling round Beijing on a sunny day is a joy.It is just me，Mandy and the city.
