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.”

　　6．From the first paragraph we can learn that________.

　　A．today’s children probably live longer than their parents

　　B．few of British children are expected to live to an old age
