A young man working in IT said he was considered too old by the age of 28.In fact there was no evidence to suggest that older workers were less valuable to companies than younger workers , in fact the opposite was often true because older workers often brought experience .The findings also suggested that the Government’s ideas on age in the workforce may also be out of step with reality. 60．Which is the discrimination mentioned in this passage ?       A．The healthier women are , the sooner they will lose their job .       B．Society knows women should be respected , but it doesn’t offer them any jobs .       C．Female managers respect male workers , but male mangers don’t respect female workers .       D．Victims of age discrimination consider age as an important standard .61．Older workers are better than younger colleagues because they have many advantages except that they are        .       A．dependable          B．married               C．faithful               D．helpful 62．Why does the writer mention a young man working in IT ?       A．Because the writer thinks it a pity that this young man is old .       B．Because it’s an example of different age standards in different jobs .       C．Because the IT industry is developing too fast .       D．Because the writer doesn’t think the young man is old .63．Which statement is true according to the writer’s attitude ?       A．The present age standard doesn’t go with reality .       B．The present age standard is reasonable .       C．Women should work longer than men .       D．Yong workers should learn from old workers . 答案：60．D．文章第三段提出“超过五分之一（经理们）曾经把年龄作为一个重要的标准”。61．B．根据文章第四段可知。62．B．根据文章倒数第三段可知。63．A．根据文章最后一段“调查结果表明政府劳动力年龄方面的观念可能与实际不符”可知。
