问题     Graduating seniors may face higher risk for job burnout(筋疲力尽，枯竭)than their parents’ generation, say business and career experts.
    One of those grads, 22-year-old Ruth Igielnik, kicked off her career just weeks after graduating from the University of Maryland.
    Igielnik should be familiar with stretching her boundaries. She admits classes were an "afterthought" during the past year because she toiled from two to five hours every school night as student overseer of 300 campus groups.
    But new grads in entry-level career jobs should resist early urges to sacrifice personal time in exchange for a faster climb to the top, warns career consultant Alexandra Levit, specializing in so-called millennials, the generation born from about 1980 to 1995. "You have to go out of your way to safeguard your time, but you have to go about it more subtly," she says. " If you sacrifice too much of your personal life at the start, you risk having a stressful, unbalanced life that’s permanent. "
    In the next two to four years, retiring manager baby boomers will trigger a wave of new openings for high-responsibility jobs, says Levit. A lot of those jobs will be filled by less-experienced workers—many of them millennials. "They’re going to be given the responsibility they crave—because there’s no one else to take it. " Levit says. "Their sense of entitlement and their over-ambition are going to create a lot of stress for them. "
    A friend of Igielnik’s, Merav Fine, is taking a few weeks off before joining the work force as a legal assistant at a small law firm. Fine jokes that—after a heavy class schedule and an intense internship— school has left her burned out before she’s even begun her career. So she worries that her career might steal time she should spend with friends and family.
    Compared with previous generations, many millennials are protesting against the idea that work is life. They’re intent on finding jobs that are meaningful both personally and to the community and the environment.
    " The things that this generation is asking for—flexibility, balance, opportunities—are all things that previous generations wanted," says Dan Black, top campus recruiter at Ernst & Young. "But they feel much more emboldened(使勇敢)to ask for these things. They know they’re going to be a bigger part of the work force. "
When at school during the past year, Igielnik______.
选项 A、was keen on socializing
B、had to work every night
C、was the leader of Student Union
D、spent most of her time studying
答案B
解析 事实细节题。根据定位段第一句Igielnik should be familiar with stretching her boundaries可知，艾格妮可善于扩展活动范围。A)“热衷于社交”与此并不相符，故排除；由定位段第二句中She admits classeswere an“afterthought”during the past year…可知，她承认，去年上课成了“次要考虑内容”，故排除D)，要注意afterthought的含义是“事后产生的想法”；由同一句中…as student overseer of 300 campus groups可知，艾格妮可是一名负责300个校园社团的监管员，而不是学生会主席，故排除C)；由…she toiled from two to fivehours every school night…可知，艾格妮可去年每晚都要工作2—5个小时，故B)为本题答案。
