The days of elderly women doing nothing but cooking huge meals on holidays are gone. Enter the Red Hat Society--a group holding the belief that old ladies should have fun."My grandmothers didn’ t do anything but keep house and serve everybody. They were programmed to do that," said Emily Cornette, head of a chapter of the 7-year-old Red Hat Society.While men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf, women have sometimes seemed to become unnoticed as they age. But the generation now turning 50 is the baby boomers(生育高峰期出生的人), and the same people who refused their parents’ way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old.If you take into consideration feminism(女权主义), a bit of spare money, and better health for most elderly, the Red Hat Society looks almost inevitable(必然的). In this society, women over 50 wear red hats and purple(紫色的) clothes, while the women under 50 wear pink hats and light purple clothing."The organization took the idea from a poem by Jenny Joseph that begins: When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple. With a red hat which doesn’ t go," said Ellen Cooper, who founded the Red Hat Society in 1998. When the ladies started to wear the red hats, they attracted lots of attention."The point of this is that we need a rest from always doing something for someone else," Cooper said, "Women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something for themselves. " This is why chapters are discouraged from raising money or doing anything useful. "We’ re a ladies’ play group. It couldn’ t be more simple," added Cooper’ s assistant Joe Heywood. From the text, we know that the "baby boomers" are a group of people who()
A. have gradually become more noticeable
B. are worried about getting old too quickly
C. are enjoying a good life with plenty of money to spend
D. try living a different life from their parents when they were young

Then with the prosperity (32) by the Second World War and the economic boom that followed, young people married and (33) households earlier and began to (34) larger families than had their (35) during the Depression.

某电器设备厂筹资新建一生产流水线,该工程设计已完成,施工图样齐备,施工现场已完成“三通一平”工作,已具备开工条件。工程施工招标委托招标代理机构采用公开招标方式代理招标。 招标代理机构编制了标底(800万元)和招标文件。招标文件中要求工程总工期为365d。按国家工期定额规定,该工程的工期应为460d。 通过资格预审并参加投标的共有A、B、C、D、E 5家施工单位。开标会议由招标代理机构主持,开标结果是这5家投标单位的报价均高出标底近300万元,这一异常引起了业主的注意,为了避免招标失败,业主提出由招标代理机构重新复核和制订新的标底。招标代理机构复核标底后,确认是由于工作失误,漏算部分工程项目,使标底偏低。在修正错误后,招标代理机构重新确定了新的标底。A、B、C 3家投标单位认为新的标底不合理,向招标人要求撤回投标文件。 由于上述问题纠纷导致定标工作在原定的投标有效期内一直没有完成。 为早日开工,该业主更改了原定工期和工程结算方式等条件,指定了其中一家施工单位中标。 问题 根据该工程的特点和业主的要求,在工程的标底中是否应含有赶工措施费为什么
