阅读理解。 Most people look forward to retirement as a time when they can finally take up activities that they never had the time or energy to pursue before. But some recent studies on people in their golden years are disturbing: they suggest that retirees are more likely to suffer from depression and possibly higher rates of other dias such as heart dia and high blood pressure. That's why a new study of French workers is welcome news. Led by Hugo Westerlund, a professor of psychology at Stockholm University, the study of more than 14,000 workers found lower rates of depression and fatigue (疲劳) in people after they got retired while theywere still employed. The scientists followed employees of the French National Gas and Electric Company for 14 years. Theyfound in the year immediately after retirement, the volunteers reported 40% fewer depressive symptoms thanthey had in the year before their retirement. The rearchers also found an 81% drop in reports of both mentaland physical fatigue over the same time period. Clearly, said Westerlund, much of the decrea in physical and mental fatigue can be traced back to relief from the stress of work. The decline in depressive symptoms suggests that retirement may be having apositive mental effect, too, which may have a lot to do with the generous pensions (养老金) that French workers enjoy. Most retirees in that country still benefit from about 80% of their yearly salaries. "The economic or financial situation in retirement is very important," Westerlund says. "We don't know ifthe decrea in fatigue and depressive symptoms is becau of the removal of something bad while in work or the addition of something good while in retirement. But no matter the reason, if life in retirement is not comfortable, then we won't e the improvements we did." However, in European nations like France, governments are considering changes to pension plans, which may affect retirees' health after they leave their jobs-with less of a financial safety net, workers may no longer em so mentally and physically happy to be out of work.
