A large amount of retired people will start their new life after retirement. The transition （过渡期） from being a full-time employee to total leisure (空闲)might
2、be one of the most important changes in our whole life. Many successful retirees say that they feel more satisfied with life from various activities and business. It makes a great sense of self-worth. They don9t need to endure harmful working environment and office politics. They dont need to take m
3、ore efforts to get a higher position and gain wealth. They can arrange their retired life based on interests and the business opportunities because they have enough time and budget (预算）to make their life more interesting and successful. So that, retired life must be the happiest period in the whole
4、life. Because there is no restriction of the rules and company culture, they can fully show their perseverance and optimistic attitude. More importantly, they have the ability to deal with problems and create selling points for their business. Specifically, most of retirees will study in the elderly
5、 university and learn new skills，like traditional Chinese medicine，cooking，handwriting, ink painting，chess, tea culture, music, martial arts and dance.

Life and Work After Retirement in China2、 Perhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu worked f
10、ull-time as a computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi province. He only wrote science fiction in his spare time. But it was during this time that Lius imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life wander in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets lig
11、ht-years away. But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadnt expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fictions highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Probl
12、em, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. Its the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award. In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur C. Clarke (1917-2008), a famous UK sci-fi
13、author. He said that reading Clarkes 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him. “My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea,” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the pa
14、st. For the first time in my life, I was awed (使敬畏) by the mystery of the universe.” But no matter how far away Lius imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational. In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu
15、talks more about relationships between civilizations(文明), rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on “ha
16、rd science”. Lius works arent simply daydreams.1.What do we know about Liu Cixin?A.He became a full-time writer when he was young.B.He dreamed about wandering in space from childhood.C.He is the first Asian to win the Arthur C.
