"I’m a little worried about my future, " said Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate. He should be so lucky. All he had to worry about was whether to have an affair with Mrs Robinson. In the sixties, that was the sum total of post-graduation anxiety syndrome.
Hoffman’s modern counterparts are not so fortunate. The Mrs Robinsons aren’t sitting around at home any more, seducing graduates. They are out in the workplace, doing the high-powered jobs the graduates want, but cannot get. For those fresh out of university, desperate for work but unable to get it, there is a big imbalance between supply and demand. And there is no narrowing of the gap in sight.
The latest unemployment figures show that 746,000 of 18-24 year-olds are unemployed — a record rate of 18 per cent. Many of those will have graduated this summer. They are not panicking yet, but as the job rejections mount up, they are beginning to feel alarmed.
Of course, it is easy to blame the Government and, in particular, the target that Labour has long trumpeted — 50 per cent of school-leavers in higher education. That was not too smart. The Government has not only failed to meet its target — the actual figure is still closer to 40 per cent — but it has raised expectations to unrealistic levels.
Parents feel as badly let down as the young people themselves. Middle-class families see their graduate offspring on the dole (救济金) queue and wonder why they bothered paying school fees. Working-class families feel an even keener sense of disappointment. For many such families, getting a child into university was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. It represented upward social and financial mobility. It was proof that they were living in a dynamic, economically successful country. That dream does not seem so rosy now.
Graduate unemployment is not, ultimately, a political problem ready to be solved. Job-creation schemes for graduates are very low down in ministerial in-trays. If David Cameron’s Conservatives had a brilliant idea for guaranteeing every graduate a well-paid job, they would have unveiled it by now. It is a social problem, though a more deep-seated social problem than people perhaps realize.
Towards the end of the passage, the author implies that
选项
A、there will be job-creation schemes for graduates.
B、graduate unemployment is more of a political issue.
C、graduate unemployment is both a political and a social issue.
D、the Conservatives are doing far from enough to solve the issue.
答案
D
解析
文章最后一段首句即否定毕业生的失业问题是政治问题,最后一句又指出这是一个根深蒂固的社会问题,所以首先排除[B]、[C];最后一段第三句做了假设,意在说明工党找不到解决失业问题的方案,所以[A]错误;第二句提到为毕业生解决就业问题的方案压在底层,这说明了保守党要解决的问题中毕业生失业问题不在首列,也足以说明保守党为解决该问题做的远远不够,所以[D]正确。
