    "Young people ought not to be idle. It is very bad for them", said Margaret Thatcher many years ago. She was right: there are few worse things that society can do to its young than to leave them in uncertainty. Those who start their【C1】______ on the unemployment pension are more likely to have lower wages and more spells of joblessness later in life,【C2】______ they lose out on the chance to acquire skills and self-confidence in their formative years.
    Yet more young people are idle than ever. Depending on how you measure them, the number of young people without a job is nearly as large as the population of America. Two factors【C3】______ a big part. First, the long slowdown in the West has reduced【C4】______ for labour, and it is easier to【C5】______ hiring young people than it is to fire older workers. Second, in emerging economies population growth is fastest in countries with dysfunctional(失调的)labour markets, such as India and Egypt.
    The most obvious way to【C6】______ this problem is to reignite growth. That is easier said than done in a world plagued by debt, and is anyway only a【C7】______ answer.

【C5】
选项
答案F
解析 空格所在的分句用了比较句式，than前后两个部分属于平行结构，因此it is easier to______hiring young people应该也是“it is +a．+to do sth．”的结构，空格处应填入动词原形。上文提及如今有更多年轻人失业，可推知企业不太愿意招聘年轻人。词库中的put off“推迟”代入后表示“企业宁愿推迟招收年轻新员工，也不愿意解雇老员工”，符合语境。
