First of all, international conventions agreed by the United Nations stipulate that women should have the equal rights at work. Different retirement ages no less than different recruitment standards count as discrimination against women. The difference should be abolished as part of the move to establish a fair, equal and harmonious society. Secondly, as the proportion of older people in the population grows, it imposes a heavier burden on government social provisions. Moreover, scientific research shows that women have longer life expectancy than men. So having the same retirement age for both sexes is an effective way to lessen the pressure on social spending, to raise family incomes and to improve the quality of life of senior citizens. Thirdly, with the development of science and technology, physical labor is being supplanted by intellectual works. This means that mens physical advantages are no longer so relevant. Sticking to different retirement age just wastes valuable human resources. Fourthly, the current situation is that many retired women do not leave the labor market. They continue to work while receiving their monthly pensions. But to optimize the use of labor resources, we should not reemploy women after retirement but raise the retirement age.NO：It would be wonderful if the NPC had proposed women should be given the right to decide if they will retire earlier than the official retirement age, which would illustrate the democratic side of China. But although this plan looks as beautiful as Helen of Troy, Chinese people will find it hard to sing its praises. The womens autonomous right to retire provided by the government is also vague and general, and lacks a firm legal basis. It is rather like the situation with land rights. Removals and demolitions are supposed to be based on peoples will, and give people the right to decide whether to move or not. But many projects dont respect the regulations and, as a consequence, not only homes, but lives are destroyed. As the leader of the worlds second largest economy, the Chinese government has a responsibility to take the time to draw up a well-rounded policy and not rush in with an ill-thought-out plan.Unit2: 3.Student A is to meet his/her future parents-in-law for the first time.

B-then what is the highest price can you give? If its reasonable, I will sell it to you ! A-how about 10 yuan? B-what? Please look at it carefully, and look at its brand. The price is too low! If I sell to you,I will lose money! You can go to others shops and compare it. I can bet that you cant buy a pen like this at this price.
