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. "
What do we know about Merav Fine from the passage?
选项 A、She has enjoyed a relaxed campus life.
B、She is good at balancing life and work.
C、She is going on a vacation at the moment.
D、She is working as an assistant in a law firm.
答案C
解析 事实细节题。由定位句可知，艾格妮可的一位朋友麦瑞·凡恩正在休几周的假，C)与之相符。注意这里的taking a few weeks off意为“休几周的假”。由定位句中的…before joining the work force as alegal assistant at a small law firm可知，麦瑞·凡恩休假过后，才将在一家小律师事务所担任法律助理，故排除D)；根据本段第二句Fine jokes that-after a heavy class schedule and an intense internship-school hasleft her burned out before she’s even begun her career．推知，学校生活已经让麦瑞·凡恩疲惫不堪，故排除A)；由本段最后一句So she worries that her career might steal time she should spend with friends andfamily．可推知，麦瑞·凡恩并不善于平衡工作和生活，故排除B)。
