   Older people must be given more chances to learn if they are to contribute to society rather than be a financial burden, according to a new study on population published recently.
   The current 【C1】______ which focuses on younger people and on skills for employment is not  【C2】______to meet the challenges of demographic (人口结构的)change, it says. Only 1% of the education budget is currently spent on the oldest third of the population. The challenges 【C3】______ the fact that most people can expect to spend a third of their lives in retirement, that there are now more people over 59 than under 16 and that 11.3 million people are over state pension age.
   Professor Stephen McNair, the report’s author, says that 【C4】______ needs to continue throughout life and that our historic 【C5】______ of policy attention and resources on young people cannot meet the new needs. The major 【C6】______ of our education budget is spent on people below the age of 25. When people are changing their jobs, homes, partners and lifestyles more often than ever, they need opportunities to learn at every age. For example, some people are starting new careers in their 50s and later.
   People need opportunities to make a "midlife review" to 【C7】______ to the later stages of employed life, and to plan for the transition to retirement, which may now happen 【C8】______ at any point from 50 to over 90, says McNair. And there should be more money available to support people in 【C9】______ a sense of identity and finding 【C10】______ roles for the "third age", the 20 or more years they will spend in healthy retired life.
【C4】
选项
答案H
解析 空格所在的由that引导的宾语从句缺少主语，宾语从句的谓语needs提示空格处填入名词单数形式。由本段倒数第2句they need opportunities to learn at every age可推知，斯蒂芬-麦克奈尔教授认为需要终生学习，词库中的名词learning符合语义，故选H项。practicing符合语法要求，但语义比较模糊，且偏离文章的主题，故排除。
