More than one in four children alive in Britain today will celebrate their 100th birthday，official figures showed.The special figures show a huge social change，with today’s children likely to survive far longer than their parents or grandparents.Of the 12.4 million children aged 16 and under,3.3 million (27%) will become someone who is a hundred years old or older.In a class of 30 children，eight can live to be 100.And the rest of the children are likely to get to an old age，even though they will not make it to three figures.
Experts warned that children may live to 100，but that they will not get their state pension until they are 70 or beyond.The state pension age is rising to 66 for both men and women by 2020，and the Government has warned it will continue to rise.Laith Khalaf，a pension expert，said，“Living to an old age is lucky if you can afford it，but a nuisance if you can’t.Those without enough savings will be depending on the state pension which will be changed.”
It also increases the possibility of millions of people surviving until their 100th birthday with a poor quality of life because of poor health and little money.Millions of older people have no pensions，no savings and no plans about how they are going to pay for their retirement other than to carry on working.If the older population demands more resources，then they have to come from their own wealth or the government. Laith said，“Millions of people will be spending over a third of their lives in retirement.It is high time that we reformed the state pension system.We want to make it fair for future generation.” 1．From the first paragraph we can learn that________.

A．A high quality of life because of the development of technology. B．A low quality of life because of bad health and limited money. C．A high quality of life because of the increase in food price. D．A low quality of life because of the present government.
4．Why should the government at present reform the state pension system? A．The present pension system isn’t quite useful. B．People nowadays don’t need the pension at all.
C．More and more people ask the government to do so.
D．The present pension system is unfair for future generation. 5．What can be inferred from the text?
