Imagine what it must have been like to have sailed around the world in a small wooden ship, as Drake and his men did in 1577-1580. On a ship only some 35 meters long, it can’t have been easy for the 80 or so crew to live comfortably. Exploration was part of war and rivalry with other nations, so these voyages might involve attacks on other ships and towns, and had to make a profit. There were all the usual dangers too. A ship could easily be destroyed by a storm or run out of food or water, and the captain might have little idea of where the ship was or where it was going. Explorers might have many wrong decisions in an age when there were only basic maps and navigation equipment and in unknown parts of ocean where a ship could easily sail for weeks without reaching land. Very often places they thought they should have reached turned out to be much further on, or in a different direction. However, they can’t have set off on such long voyages without some general idea of the places they could expect to reach along the way, and as knowledge of navigation improved, voyages became more and more successful.

The number of men and women in the US aged 60 or over still in work has been rising for more than a decade. Economics have given a number of reasons for this trend. First, since 1985 the US economy has been expanding, so there has been an increased demand for labour. At the same time, the cost of some services, such as health care, has been increasing so workers need to earn more money in later life. In addition, changes in social security benefits and rules have had a considerable effect on labour patterns. First, in 1977 and 1983 changes to the Social Security Act raised the full-benefit age from 65 to 67 and introduced other changes that make delaying retirement more attractive. Then, in 1986 the Age Discrimination Act ended compulsory retirement for all workers, allowing them to work later in life. Changes to pension laws have also encouraged workers to stay in employment longer, as this gives them more chance of a larger pension when they retire.

A) As the financial system has been prospering, there has been a requirement for more employees.

The 16th century, was an age of great marine and terrestrial exploration. On September 20, 1519, Ferdinand Magellan led the first expedition to sail around the world. He set sail from Spain with five ships. More than a year later, one of these ships explored the topography of South America in search of a water route across the continent. This ship sank, but the remaining four ships searched along the southern peninsula of South America. Finally, they found the passage they sought near 50 degrees S latitude. Magellan named this passage the Strait of All Saints, but today it is known as the Strait of Magellan. After some time, Magellan became involved in an insular conflict in the Philippines and was killed in a tribal battle. Only one ship and 17 sailors under the command of the Basque navigator Elcano survived to complete the westward journey to Spain and thus prove once and for all that the world is round, with no precipice at the edge.
