Japan and Germany have the world’s oldest populations, but neither country has enough trained health care workers to meet the needs of older adults. So, they are turning to Vietnam for help.
    This month, 100 young Vietnamese are going to Germany as part of a project to train what are called geriatric nurses, who provide health care service to the elderly, to work in the European country. The trainees recently completed a six-month language and culture class in Hanoi. They will spend the next two years in an occupational training program. If the trainees pass the final exam, they will be able to work in Germany as geriatric nurses for another three years.
    Germany is facing a crisis as low birth rates combine with a growing population of citizens who are living longer. About 20 percent of the population is over the age of 65, and that percentage is expected to continue rising.
    This is a problem Japan also faces. Later this year, 150 Vietnamese candidates will go to Japan for two years of training at the country’s hospitals, after that they are expected to take the national nursing exam.
    Japan already trains nurses from the Philippines and Indonesia, but the health care system has been criticized for being too restrictive. All candidates must take the same exam, but it is very difficult for foreign applicants because few can speak the Japanese language.
    Yoko Tsuruya is the first secretary at the Japan’s embassy in Hanoi. She says foreign nationals are given some help to complete the test, like being given more time to answer questions. To improve training, the government plans to combine language classes with real-life experience on the job.
    Even with an aging population, many Japanese are opposed to foreigners working in some industries. Critics say foreign labor could lead to higher unemployment, but there is little opposition to foreign nurses.
    In Vietnam, the situation is very different. Sixty percent of the population was born after the Vietnam war ended in 1975. There are not enough jobs for everyone who wants one. Most children are expected to care for their aging parents when they get old.
    Huong Thi Thi—the nurse trainee, thinks that in the future, Vietnam will need more hospitals for its elderly, but she adds, learning the skills overseas can help the Vietnamese develop this area for themselves.
20. What do we know about the Vietnamese trainees in Germany?
21. What does Japan do to help the foreign trainees?
22. What can we learn about Vietnam from the lecture?

选项 A、Sixty percent of the population was born in 1975.
B、Not enough jobs are provided for job seekers.
C、Most children can’t afford to care for their aging parents.
D、Vietnam needs to learn hospital skills overseas.

答案B

解析 录音中指出越南的情况和发达国家很不同,由于1975年以后出生的人占大多数,造成劳动力过于充足,没有足够的岗位给每个想工作的人(not enough jobs for everyone who wants one)。B项“没有足够的工作给求职者”是录音的同义转换,是正确答案。原文说60%的越南人是1975年停战后出生的,A项错误理解“60%的人口在1975年出生”。录音提到多数父母年老后都指望孩子照顾,C项“大多数孩子没有经济能力照顾年老的父母”与录音有出入。录音最后指出越南需要为老年人提供更多医院,去国外学习相关技术可以帮助越南自身的发展,D项错误解读成“越南需要去海外学习医院技术”。
