A recent BBC documentary, "The Town That Never Retired", sought to show the effects of【C1】______the state pension age by putting retirees back to work.【C2】______the results were entertaining, they need not have【C3】______. Away from the cameras,【C4】______numbers of older people are staying in work. Since the start of the recession, the number of 16- to 24-year-olds in work has fallen by 597,000. Over the same【C5】______the number of workers over the age of 65 has increased by 240,000.
The【C6】______of the British workforce dates back to around 2001,【C7】______when the proportion of older people working has nearly doubled. But it has【C8】______since the start of the recession. There are several【C9】______why. Happily, people are living longer and healthier lives, which makes staying in work less【C10】______than it was.【C11】______happily, low interest rates, a stagnant stock market and the end of many defined-benefit pension schemes make it a financial【C12】______And changing attitudes,【C13】______by rules against age discrimination, are making it easier than ever.
Most older workers are simply【C14】______at the office: 63% of workers over state pension age have been with their employer for more than ten years.

选项
A、interfered
B、offended
C、disturbed
D、bothered
答案
D
解析
下一句提到“镜头之外,……数目的年长者仍在工作”,也就是说,不管领取国家退休金的年龄是否提高,年长者仍在工作,对其影响并不大,因此剧组没有必要费心去拍这部记录片。故选D项bother“费心”。
