W: How does the scheme work?

　　M: Well, its a trial at the moment. Instead of hiring temporary stuff, the company advertises posts on its website that retired employees like myself can access.

　　W: What sort of works advertised?

　　M: Well, all sorts of things, really. Administrative work and more specialized work, the sort of thing I can do. Some of the projects can last five or six months, and others can just be a couple of days. I can decide more or less when to work. So I can manage my own time.

　　W: I can see its good for you. What is your company get out of this?

　　M: Well, I still have all my old contacts at work, so I know who to contact to get something done. The company gets flexibility, too. Once the jobs over, thats it. Im not on their books any more.

　　Questions 19-21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

　　19. Why does Simon find his retired life enjoyable?

　　21. Why does the company adopt the phased retirement scheme?

　　Conversation Two

　　W: Oh, where are we going?

　　M: I want to show you something.

　　W: I know, but what is it?

　　M: A farm. Its just down this road. Its a small place, but at least it would be our own.
