Brn almst cmpletely blind, Eline is amng a grwing number f utdr-adventure athletes wh refused t let disabilities reduce them t nlkers.

When it cmes t her final success in utdr sprts, it is all credited t her dctr wh is expert in instructing blind runners.

Accrding t the Bureau f Labr Statistics, emplyees ver 50 make up mre than ne-third f the wrkfrce in the United States. And the labr frce aged 75 and lder is expected t increase by 96.5% by 2030. As the wrkfrce ages and increasing numbers f grandparents care fr their grandchildren, what nce was intended fr new parents is nw applied t grandparents. Sme wrkplaces are ffering a new paid leave plicy (政策) fr lder wrkers—grandternity leave.
As the name suggests, ne f the mst ppular use cases fr grandternity leave is emplyees taking time ff when they becme grandparents t help care fr their grandchildren. It als enables emplyees t take paid leave t deal with medical treatment, spend time with their families, and take time away frm wrk as needed.
In a cmpetitive labr market with mre than 10 millin pen jbs, emplyers still struggle t retain senir emplyees. They fall under the Baby Bmer generatin and are characterized by their deep lve fr wrk and cmpany respnsibility. They are prized fr their histrical knwledge and ld-fashined wrk ethic (职业道德). Therefre, emplyers are seeking new, nntraditinal benefits fr these emplyees t prevent them frm taking anther jb. Grandternity leave is just ne example f persnalized benefits suitable fr lder wrkers.

The U.S. Fd and Drug Administratin(FDA) has apprved a new class f hearing aid devices, which d nt require a medical exam. That means Americans will be able t buy hearing aids later this year withut seeing a dctr r receiving a medical examinatin.
The devices are designed fr adults with mild t mderate hearing prblems. The FDA estimates that the hearing aids culd help nearly 30 millin adults in the United States, but nly abut ne-fifth f peple with hearing prblems use the devices currently.
“Tday’s actin by the FDA represents a significant milestne in making hearing aids mre cst-effective and accessible,” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, tld reprters n Tuesday. The FDA first prpsed the rule change fr hearing aids last year and the new rules will take effect in the middle f Octber. The mve fllws years f pressure frm medical experts and thers t make the devices less cstly and easier t get.
Hwever, cst is still a barrier right nw. Americans can pay mre than $5,000 fr hearing aids, which is fr the device itself and fitting services. Private insurance cverage is als limited fr the devices. And gvernment insurance fr lder peple, knwn as Medicare, des nt pay fr them. Medicare nly pays fr hearing tests.
“The requirement t see a specialist was nt nly a burden and an annyance fr many cnsumers but als it actually created a cmpetitive barrier t entry,” said Brian Deese, a White Huse ecnmic adviser. Deese added that the gvernment estimates that Americans culd save as much as $2,800 fr a set f hearing aids if they want t buy them.
But FDA fficials nted that the savings will depend n when prducers launch prducts and hw much they cst. “It’s very hard t predict exactly what we’ll see and when,” said Dr. Jeffrey Shuren, the FDA’s medical device chief. Shuren added fficials expected t see increased cmpetitin frm new prducers and new prducts frm existing hearing aid makers.
12．Wh prbably use the new hearing aid devices?
A. The peple wh cannt affrd medical fee.
B. The 20 percent f peple wh can pay fr them.
C. The peple wh needn’t be examined by dctrs.
D. The adults whse hearing prblems are nt serius.
13．What might the rule change bring?
A. Hearing tests fr free.
B. Mre pressure frm medical experts.
C. Lwer cst f the hearing devices.
D. Mre private insurance cverage.
14．What may Deese agree with?
A. Seeing a specialist was unaccessible.
B. Seeing a specialist was a trublesme experience.
C. The gvernment will save much medical expense.
D. Americans will pay mre mney fr medical care.
15．What can we learn frm the last paragraph?
A. When the cst will be reduced is uncertain.
B. Existing hearing aid makers can benefit mst.
C. Officials will decide the price f the hearing aids.
D. New prducers will succeed in the cmpetitin.
