Direction: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. Certain words are printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the these. For decades, retirees looked to places such as Florida for the climate and leisure activities. But now many retirees are searching for something extra -- a place where they can make connections and a difference. To them, a small town seems like the idyllic retirement setting after years of hustling and bustling in the cities and suburbs. Many small towns are not waiting for retirees to discover them. Communities are actively seeking out retirees as a way to boost economic development. Ellsworth is one of ten tiny communities in Kansas offering free land to retirees and families who want to relocate. If you treasure your anonymity, you may not want to live in a place where everyone really knows your name, as well as your business, says Frank Levering, who moved with his wife, Wanda Urbanska, from Los Angeles to rural Virginia. In a small town, people may notice a new awning on your house or whether you left 15 minutes early that day, or whether your cat was wandering down the street. "If you ever wanted to be useful or needed, a small town is the place for you," says Levering. "There is often a bit of social pressure to become involved, and if you are not, you tend to feel what people are thinking about you." It's difficult to stereotype small-town living. Sure, you can move into a cabin in the woods and fish all day. But you can also find many activity-packed places. In 2003, Charlene and Terry Ott left Fort Lauderdale, for Oxford, and are leading busy lives. They lived in Florida for 25 years, while Terry was a sales manager for an airline. But they felt that even a retirement mecca like Fort Lauderdale was getting too crowded. They discovered Oxford when they took a side trip from a gambling jaunt to Tunica, about 30 miles away. Oxford is one of 21 small towns in Mississippi that are designated as "certified retirement communities" by the state's Hometown Mississippi Retirement program. A certified community must meet criteria that are important to retirees, such as quality medical facilities and an affordable cost of living. As appealing as small-town life may seem, city slickers should recognize that housing choices may be limited. The Carlsens of Walla Walla had a tough time finding ___(A)___, so they bought land and had a house built. There are few flights from Walla Walla -- convenient transportation is a consideration if you want to visit family or friends. If you have a medical condition, make sure you have easy access to specialists. But smaller places are building bigger hospitals, as doctors, too, escape big cities for the simpler life. Rand's Morrison, 67, advocates spending a few weeks a year in a place before deciding to settle there. He says: "Think about what you are going to do on Monday, on Tuesday and on Wednesday -- other than play golf." He knows from personal experience, having moved from Los Angeles to Nantucket, Mass. Source: https://www.kiplinger.com/article/retirement/t006-c000-s001-retire-to-the-simpler-life-in-a-small-town.html Why did the Otts leave Fort Lauderdale? I. Increase in local population. II. Increase in gambling joints. III. Diminishing fishing industry.

"There is often a bit of social pressure to become involved, and if you are not, you tend to feel what people are thinking about you." It's difficult to stereotype small-town living. Sure, you can move into a cabin in the woods and fish all day. But you can also find many activity-packed places. In 2003, Charlene and Terry Ott left Fort Lauderdale, for Oxford, and are leading busy lives. They lived in Florida for 25 years, while Terry was a sales manager for an airline. But they felt that even a retirement mecca like Fort Lauderdale was getting too crowded. They discovered Oxford when they took a side trip from a gambling jaunt to Tunica, about 30 miles away. Oxford is one of 21 small towns in Mississippi that are designated as "certified retirement communities" by the state's Hometown Mississippi Retirement program. A certified community must meet criteria that are important to retirees, such as quality medical facilities and an affordable cost of living. As appealing as small-town life may seem, city slickers should recognize that housing choices may be limited. The Carlsens of Walla Walla had a tough time finding ___(A)___, so they bought land and had a house built. There are few flights from Walla Walla -- convenient transportation is a consideration if you want to visit family or friends. If you have a medical condition, make sure you have easy access to specialists. But smaller places are building bigger hospitals, as doctors, too, escape big cities for the simpler life.

For decades, retirees looked to places such as Florida for the climate and leisure activities. But now many retirees are searching for something extra -- a place where they can make connections and a difference. To them, a small town seems like the idyllic retirement setting after years of hustling and bustling in the cities and suburbs. Many small towns are not waiting for retirees to discover them. Communities are actively seeking out retirees as a way to boost economic development. Ellsworth is one of ten tiny communities in Kansas offering free land to retirees and families who want to relocate. If you treasure your anonymity, you may not want to live in a place where everyone really knows your name, as well as your business, says Frank Levering, who moved with his wife, Wanda Urbanska, from Los Angeles to rural Virginia. In a small town, people may notice a new awning on your house or whether you left 15 minutes early that day, or whether your cat was wandering down the street. "If you ever wanted to be useful or needed, a small town is the place for you," says Levering.

The most senior engineer/accountant/practitioner in the department is retiring today. Co-workers wish her well, buy her lunch, sign her humorous greeting card… and jot down her phone number for the moments in the near future they will need her help. They hope she’ll answer when they call because if she doesn’t, they’ll be sunk. Such anxious departures happen 10,000 times a day, according to the Pew Research Centre. A recent study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill reveals that less than 40 percent of employers have taken action to address the imminent loss of detailed know-how. Adding even well-trained millennials to the workforce may not be enough to restore the balance when your company is haemorrhaging its veteran employees. We’re not talking the stuff of dust-collecting procedure manuals. Dorothy Leonard, a professor of business administration at Harvard Business School, says there is a big difference between information and knowledge. Information is something you can get from Google. Knowledge is the critically-important stuff in your head that has never been written down. And companies often fail to retain it. It is critical that longtime workers transfer the knowledge they’ve gained from decades of experience to employees who will be taking on their responsibilities. Leonard calls it “tacit knowledge.” Unlike a checklist or a binder full of procedures or reports, this knowledge is hard to identify and even harder to pass on. Duke, the nation’s largest regulated utility, has launched multiple initiatives to help transfer what seasoned workers just know to what younger workers must know. For instance, the company developed a board game called Megawatt Fever to help young engineers better understand an energy industry that has not seen a new nuclear facility come on line in nearly 20 years but where experience in maintenance is critical. Melissa Moran, the nuclear group’s manager of strategic workforce planning, asked nuclear managers to develop and submit knowledge-transfer plans for team members nearing retirement. Plan tactics include shooting videos to walk/talk newer hires through complex procedures. Of course, this video archive has the added value of being useful in training future employees. Businesses can start by analysing their workforce to understand the scope of the problem, and then implement programs to capture and pass on the tacit knowledge that is critical to their future success, and that of their younger employees.
