解析 【全文翻译】
    根据最近发表的一项关于人口的研究显示，如果想让老年人为社会做出贡献而不是成为经济负担，我们就必须给他们提供更多的学习机会。
    据说，现行的政策依靠年轻人和他们的技能来提供就业，并不能应对人口结构调整所带来的挑战。只有1％的教育经费用于占总人口1／3的老年人。
    这些挑战包括：大多数人退休后的时间占其一生的1／3；现在有越来越多的人超过享受国家退休金的年龄。
    该报道的作者，Stephen Monair教授说："活到老，学到老。我们之前只关注年轻人，把资源都投放在了他们身上的政策不能满足新的需要"。
    教育经费都花在了25岁以下的年轻人身上。当他们比以往都更频繁的更换着工作、家，配偶和生活方式的时候，在任何年龄段他们都需要学习的机会。比如说，有些人50岁以上才开始开创自己的事业。
    Mcnair说，我们应该给人们这个机会去做一个"中年回顾"以适应晚年的上班族的生活，并为过渡到退休做出计划。他们自己都无法预料到他们将在50岁到90多岁的哪一年退休。
    我们应该为老年人提供更多的资金从而帮他们建立一种"身份意识"并帮助他们找到在退休之后的20年甚至更长的时间的"第三年龄"找到一个富有建设性的角色定位。

第一题为词语辨析题。根据上下文，此处译为：据说，现行的政策依靠年轻人和他们的技能来提供就业，并不能应对人口结构调整所带来的挑战。要求所填动词有"集中"之意，并能与介词on搭配。operate on"动手术"；count on"依靠，期待"；depend on"依赖于，取决于"，均不符合要求。
