a. they are reluctant to retire when they reach their retirement age. b. they cant obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed of. c. they cant get full pension unless they work some extra years. d. they have to go on working beyond their retirement age. 69. the author gives the example of henry metcalf to show that _ . a. older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic children b. many people are young in spirit despite their advanced age c. older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodies d. taking afternoon naps is a good way to regain energy 70. whats the biggest fear of older parents according to new york psychologist joan galst?
