The internship is now ubiquitous across America and beyond. This year young Americans will complete perhaps 1 m such placements;【F1】
Google alone recruited 3 ,000 interns this summer, promising them the chance to " do cool things that matter".
The " Big Four" audit companies will employ more than 30,000 interns this year. Bank of China runs an eight-week programme; Alibaba, a Chinese online-retailing behemoth, has a global scheme.
【F2】
The rise in internships has been encouraged by universities which, anxious to justify sharply rising tuition fees, are seeking to get their students on the path to jobs.
Oxford University’s careers service has set up an "internship office" , which tries to find students placements for their summer holidays and after they graduate. Stanford has a small campus in Washington, DC, where students can live while they do internships in the capital, which the university helps them organize.
Another motive for American colleges and universities is that 90% offer academic credit for work placements, sometimes during term time. A growing number make an internship a condition of graduating for at least some courses. And students usually continue to pay fees while doing them. " For universities it’s really cheap money," says Gina Neff, a professor at the University of Washington. "They are getting tuition dollars and not having to spend instructional dollars. " Some internships are valuable, but some are not: a Hollywood PR-internship turned out to be little more than an unpaid job promoting films on campus. Some universities might have pocketed the fees and looked the other way.
【F3】
The most enthusiastic employers of unpaid interns are those that generate a lot of menial work, and are glamorous enough to get people to do it for nothing.
"The whole fashion industry would crumble without interns," says one who spent four unpaid months working for a tyrannical photographer, who demanded that his drinks be served no warmer than 4°C. Watching million-dollar shoots and making contacts while ironing, cleaning toilets and lugging equipment around is worthwhile, he says. But he has witnessed appalling abuse of the unpaid graduates who make up one-third of the people he has worked with in fashion.
Unpaid internships are becoming the norm. According to NACE, they make up nearly half the internships undertaken in America. Most internships earned money in the 1960s. By 1997 only 57% of A-merican journalism students said they could find a paid internship. By 2010 the figure had fallen to 34% , where it has remained since.
【F4】
Perhaps not coincidentally, the number of unpaid internships has grown just as hiring has become riskier, pricier and more complex.
In recent years anti-discrimination and unfair-dismissal rules have been tightened, and minimum wages raised, in many rich countries.【F5】
The growing cost of benefits such as pensions, health care and maternity leave makes employees more expensive, and interns have therefore become an appealing alternative.
【F2】
选项
答案
大学学府一直鼓励增加实习机会。由于高校迫切需要证明不断攀高的学费是合理的,因此它们不断地为自己的学生争取就业机会。
解析
本题考查被动语态的翻译、非限制性定语从句以及justify一词的正确译法。主句是Therise in internships has been encouraged by universities,which引出非限制性定语从句,修饰univer-sities。非限制性定语从句中的主句为which are seeking to get their students on the path to jobs,anxious to justify sharply rising tuition fees是状语。
