[课时作业] [限时30分钟] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Workers are returning to their careers，or starting new ones after age 65. More than ever，work is where many of us get our sense of purpose.That doesn't end at age 65.After being retired for only three months，Sue Ellen King returned to work at the University of Florida Health in Jacksonville，Florida，where she had been a care nurse and nursing educator for 38 years.She is now working part­time in a position created just for her.“It's perfect，” she told The New York Times.“I get the satisfaction of having people appreciate what I do.” With the average lifespan for those who reach age 64 now getting all the way to 84 years old，those who reach retirement age still have many potential years of work to go. Job sites connected toward part­timers，temporary positions，and some can also turn up opportunities that may lead to longer­term work.Fred Dodd tried a part­time job after his unemployment as a clerk for large banks at age 63.He'd thought about retiring then.“But part of me just wanted to keep working partly for the money，but more just because I felt I wanted to do more in my career，” he said. The retired have the advantage of not needing to focus on the earnings potential of whatever jobs they take on，so these older workers are attracted to more meaningful work.And since they are voluntarily putting their skills and experience to good use，they may well have more flexibility than mid­career people.Two­thirds of retirees who'd come back to the work world were doing meaningful work they enjoyed.Legal work and community service were popular choices，as was teaching－all areas in which older workers might have an opportunity to make their own schedules. Earning more money rarely seems like a bad idea，but it can cause issues for retirees，including effects when they claim Social Security (申请社会保障) benefits early.
