第六单元ALS-IScriptTanya: Hello, everyone. Welcome to your Tuesday Lunch Break. I’m Tanya Rivero. We begin today with the latest census report out this morning, showing the US population is expected to grow significantly older over the next several decades. By 2050 it is projected to reach 83.7 million, almost double the number of elderly in 2012. The baby boomers are largely behind this shift, as the first wave began turning 65 a few years ago. And the racial face of the elderly is changing, with many more Hispanics and non-Whites in the mix. By 2050, the U.S. is expected to have the largest older population of all developed nations with the exception of China and India, the world’s two mo st populous countries.Joining us now to break this all down is Daniel Mitchell, a senior fellow at the Libertarian think-tank, the Cato Institute. Hi Daniel, thanks for being with us.Daniel: I’m glad to be on the program.Tanya: So, Daniel, this report concludes that this dramatic population shift is expected to drain resources from areas like education and shift them toward areas like health care. I think that’s probably an obvious shift, but what are some of the other changes in store? Daniel: From an e conomic perspective, the big thing we need to look at is we’re going t o have a worsening worker-dependent ratio. What does that mean? It simply means that as our population ages, there are going to be more and more old people relying on that 16 to 64 working age group, to produce the goods and services our economy needs. Tha t’s a big challenge. Setting aside government policy and everything else, an aging population, whether it’s in the US, Japan, or in Europe, is going to be a significant burden for a lot of economies moving forward.Tanya: So what does that mean specificall y? Let’s talk about Medicare, is there any chance it will last?Daniel:That’s the real challenge. Now let’s bring government policy into the mix. When you have tax and transfer programs like Medicare, like Social Security, like Medicaid, and a lot of these programs explicitly funnel big benefits to the elderly, and your population is aging;that’s a recipe for fiscal crisis. I mean, we all probably remember in school, learning about a po pulation pyramid. The assumption was always that you’d have a lot more workers and a small group of retirees. Well, we’re moving from a population pyramid to something more like a population cylinder, and tax and transferring government programs simply don’t work. You’re going to have too many people riding in the wagon, and not enough people pulling the wagon because the tax rates that you would have to impose on those workers would be crippling to the economy.Tanya: And that cylinder can almost get top heavy, which would certainly mean it might topple.Now let’s talk a lit tle bit about the younger workers. Is there any hope for this group?What do they have to look forward to?Daniel: Well right now, they’re already paying 15.3% payroll taxes, between Soc ial Security and Medicare, that’s the so called FICA, part of their pa ycheck. Of course, they only see half of it because the other half is paid on their behalf by their employers. But, it’s 15.3% now.In order to try to bail out Social Security and Medica re, you’re talking about those tax rates in effect doubling. And of co urse, that’s a huge burden on these younger workers ata time when economic growth is likely to slow down because so many people are goingto be leaving the labor force. Which, to me, is why we’re facing a slow-motion train wreck. That’s the bad news. The good news, it’s slow motion.Tanya: Right.Daniel: If we do real genuine retirement reform now, we can avoid the crisis 15, 20, 25 years down the road.Tanya:All right, we’ll all have t o get to work. Daniel Mitchell of the Cato Institute. Thank you for that.Daniel: Thank you.ALS-IIScripts:Many don’t like the idea of spending their later years in a retirement home and more and more are seeking alternatives.This group of people founded a cooperative and bought a house right in Bern’s old town, close to the market and the river. On Saturdays, residents and friends gather for lunch. “We have our own apartments and can continue organizing our own lives. But on the other hand, we’re like a family in this house. People know each other and help and look afte r one another.”Swiss life expectancy is among the highest in Europe. At the same time, the fertility rate is low. This results in one of the largest aging populations in the world. But what does this mean for society, and how happy are the elderly in this country? Francois Hoepflinger is an expert on aging demographics. According to his studies, a greying society to a large extent has positive effects.“There are more grandparents which are healthy and can engage with young children, and surprisingly, how active the ‘young’ o ld are! We have a real revolution of active seniors, elderly. There are increasing costs in health systems, in pensions. But on the other side, all the people are consumers. That’s one of the largest and most rapidly-increasing consumer markets.”Indeed, by and large, the elderly in Switzerland have a high standard of living. Social security for the elderly is better than it is for young families. But what about social contact?Pro Senectute is Switzerland’s biggest organization helping people to maintain life quality in their old age as well as giving advice on financial and health issues. Pro Senectute offers a wide range of activities for seniors.Pensioner Marie Therese Sieber works as a volunteer for the foundation two days a week. For the former school teacher, retirement wasn’t easy in the beginning. Now she’s used to her new weekly structure and enjoys having a lot of spare time.“In Switzerland, we are aware that there are a lot of elderly and there are a lot of opportunitiesfor them. For instance, I can travel at low cost or I can join organized hiking trips. When people get lonely in their old age, such activities are important for meeting others. However, people should be able to stay in their own surroundings as long as possib le. From what I’ve s een, once people have to move to an old people’s home, they no longer have to deal with things and they become lethargic.”At the cooperative in Bern, as well as personal apartments, there’s a communal kitchen, a guest room and even a meditation room.For Hilde Thalman, this is one of the reasons she decided to live here.“Together we organize up to four events a year, cultural, social or political events. With today’s life expectancy, we have to assume that we still have several years l eft. So it’s importa nt to keep doing something.”“I wouldn’t want to become as old as our parents holed up in their houses.”“That’s easy for us to say. We never had a house like our parents.”This home is one of four such places in Bern.Today there are more choices of how t o spend one’s later years than there were in recent decades. As long as people remain healthy, there’s still a lot they can get out of life. According to Francois Hoepflinger’s studies, this is a reversal of the situation forty years ag o, when the elderly were a marginal group, mostly poor and unhappy. They even have the edge on the young.“People who are retired have a much higher life satisfaction than younger generations. And we found that, in fact, in many instances, the social problems we have in Switzerland are more problems of young people than of the elderly.”SLSWord Bankbad off 经济条件差的luxury adj. 奢侈的shrink v. 收缩,使缩小hospice n. 救济院,收容所facility n. 设施,设备1. bad off 经济条件差的e.g. The widower was bad off every day when he was left alone.这个鳏夫丧偶之后,经济每况愈下。

As a noted polymath, Franklin was a leading author andprinter, satirist, political theorist, politician, scientist, inventor, civicactivist, statesman, soldier, and diplomat. He helped draw up theDeclaration of Independence and the Constitution; he played a major rolein the American Revolution and negotiated French support for thecolonists; as a scientist he is remembered particularly for his research in Unit OverviewModern life is full of hassles, deadlines, frustrations, and demands. For many people, stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life. Long-term exposure to stress can lead to serious health problems, not only physically but also psychologically. In this unit, students will be introduced to the importance of psychological health and ways to achieve it through listening, watching and reading. Various activities will inspire the students to talk about ways to cope with stress and to be happy by using the words and expressions in this unit. And finally, they will conduct a poll on “Stress on Campus”with their peers.In this unit, you will●get to know ways to deal with stress that comes fromstressful situations, different life periods anddifficult people through listening, watching and reading●talk about the impact of stress on your physical andespecially mental health, and the ways to deal with stress through guided activities“Stress on Campus” with your peers●conduct a poll on●pick up useful words and expressionsto reflect on your own learning and comment on that●learnof your peers●learn to think independently, critically and creatively Background InformationModern life is full of hassles, deadlines, frustrations, and demands. For many people, stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life. Stress isn’t always bad. In small doses, it can help you perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best. But when you’re constantly running in emergency mode, your mind and body pay the price.Stress is a normal physical response to events that make you feel threatened or upset your balance in some way. When you sense danger--- whether i t’s real or ima gined--- the body’s defenses kick into high gear in a rapid, automatic process knownas the “fight-or-flight” reaction, or the stress response.The stress response is the body’s way of protecting you. When working properly, it helps you stay focused, energetic, and alert. In emergency situations, stress can save your life – giving you extra strength to defend yourself, for example, or spurring you to slam on the brakes to avoid an accident.The stress response also helps you rise to meet challenges. Stress is what keeps you on your toes during a presentation at work, sharpens your concentration when you’re attempting the game-winning free throw, or drives you to study for an exam when you’d rather be watching TV.But beyond a certain point, stress stops being helpful and starts causing major damage to your health, your mood, your productivity, your relationships, and your quality of life.Effects of chronic stressThe body doesn’t distinguish between physical and psychological threats. When you’re stressed over a busy schedule, an argument with a friend, a traffic jam, or a mountain of bills, your body reacts just as strongly as if you were facing a life-or-death situation. If you have a lot of responsibilities and worries, your emergency stress response ma y be “on” most of the time. The more your body’s stresssystem is activated, the easier it is to trip and the harder it is to shut off.Long-term exposure to stress can lead to serious health problems. Chronic stress disrupts nearly every system in your body. It can raise blood pressure, suppress the immune system, increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, contribute to infertility, and speed up the aging process. Long-term stress can even rewire the brain, leaving you more vulnerable to anxiety and depression.Many health problems are caused or exacerbated by stress, including:●Pain of any kind●Heart disease●Digestive problems●Sleep problems●Depression●Obesity●Autoimmune diseases●Skin conditions, such as eczemaTopic Preview1.

Members of the group should respond when challenged.Home ListeningListen to the audio clip and fill in the blanks with the exact words or sentences. You are expected to do it after class and check the answers on your own.It’s common sense that if you are extremely unhappy in your job, and you come home and dump on your spouse about it every day, it could start to wear on the relationship.So is the opposite true, then? 1) If you’re happy in your job,can your marriage actually improve? According to long-term research conducted by The Love Doctor Terri Orbuch, the answer is “yes”.Orbuch, who is author of “5 Simple Steps to Take Your Marriage from Good to Great,” has been following and observing hundreds of married couples for nearly a quarter century inorder to find out what makes marriages happy, strong and long lasting. She has found that there is a definite positive spillover 2) from work to marriage.Here are her four suggestions on putting this into practice: Suggestion 1: 3) Seek support and help from your spouse. If you’re having a problem at work, solicit advice from your spouse. Research shows that the need for assistance is one of the three basic needs of all people in relationships (intimacy and reassurance of one’s value are the other two). Seeking solutions to work-related problems together strengthens the ma rital bond and feeling that “we’re in this together.” Moreover, because your spouse knows you so well, he or she is likely to come up with valuable insights and feedback.Suggestion 2: 4) “Grow” in your job. A recent large-scale study in Harvard Business Review found that the No. 1 factor 5)that keeps employees happy and motivated in their jobs is “making progress.” Workers who are fulfilled and stimulated during the workday tend to be happier individuals, and much of that happiness gets transferred to their spouse at the end of the day.Suggestion 3: 6) Practice behaviors that relieve stress. Numerous studies have documented a link between workplacestress and poor health. The two most common workplace stressors are 7) feeling as if you haven’t been heard or supported, and 8) negative interpersonal work relationships. Find ways to express your needs, ask for assistance and manage conflicts at your job. Good health is sexy and attractive to a spouse, and so is an upbeat attitude.Suggestion 4: 9) Share your work life. Orbuch’s study found that the happiest marriages are ones in which partners feel their spouse regularly discloses information about his or her life, even details from work that might be deemed “boring.” The bonus: 10) Work life becomes interwoven with home life, promoting a satisfying feeling of work-life balance, which makes you happier overall.SourceAppendix A Supplementary Reading Unit 6 Psychological Health Useful Expressions。

This ambition dated back to the days when he spent his school holidays playing with toy soldiers in the corridors of Blenheim Palace, below the tapestries of his heroic ancestors.
