（图表内容：略）
1. The first graph shows that as people get older, _______ of them study for career benefits.
A. more
B. fewer
C. all of them
D. nobody

答案： B
解析：观察第一个图表中“For career”对应的柱状图，20-26岁年龄组最高，随着年龄增长（26-29、30-39、40-49、over 49），该柱状图高度逐渐降低，说明年龄越大，为了职业利益而学习的人越少，所以选B。

2. _______ of people over 49 study due to interest, compared to 18% who learn for career benefits.
A. 40%
B. 25%
C. 70%
D. 80%

答案： C
解析：根据第一个图表，“over 49”年龄组中“For interest”对应的柱状图高度约为70%，题目中已给出该年龄组为职业利益学习的比例是18%，所以选C。

3. The second graph shows that employer assistance drops rapidly to 34% for employees _______.
A. between 20 and 26
B. in their late twenties
C. in their thirties
D. over 49

答案： C
解析：观察第二个图表，雇主支持率从20-26岁的约68%，26-29岁的约55%，到30-39岁迅速下降到34%左右，“in their thirties”即30-39岁年龄组，所以选C。
