(他们还表明,老年人认为过去一切都更好的观点是不正确的。在过去,退休可能伴随着一点焦虑。然而,如今,这是值得期待的事情)"可知,上文提到了一项"退休行动",后文则说明了老年人如今对退休的看法,可知本句承接上文说明这项调查的结果,C选项中retire对应上文中Retirement。故C选项"结果表明,现在是退休的最佳时机"符合语境,故选C。

(5)G.细节理解题。根据上文Although almost half said life is better now compared to when they were in their twenties,this didn't stop Grandparents complaining about manners,traffic and driving etiquette.(尽管近一半的人表示 ,与20多岁时相比,现在的生活更好了,但这并不能阻止祖父母们抱怨举止、交通和驾驶礼仪)"以及后文"A third on the list gave the word "optimistic'"("乐观"一词名列第三)"可知,后文提到了"乐观"一词被用来描述生活,G选项中words对应后文中the word。故G选项"当被要求用词语来描述今天的生活时,他们选择了有压力的和'自私的'"符合语境,故选G.
