问题 What is the main idea of the passage?
  
Fed Chair Janet Yellen announced Dec. 16 that the central bank would raise interest rates for the first time in almost a decade. Any further monetary tightening will be gradual and contingent on continued economic health, she explained, projecting that rates would rise 3 percentage points in three years. What should the average consumer make of all this economic commentary? Here’s who wins and loses.
What is the natural rate of unemployment? Some economists think that the natural rate of unemployment is about 5 percent in the U. S. economy, but that it changes over time. One thing that can make it change is demographics. For example, younger workers change jobs more frequently than older workers and are obviously unemployed while in between jobs.

选项 A、Democratic politics.
B、Time.
C、Statistics.
D、Population.

答案D

解析 讲话者认为人口统计数据会改变失业率数据,因为年轻人喜欢换工作,在两个工作转换期间,他们处于失业状态。注意不要将demographics误听误判成democratic。如果不熟悉这个词,完全可以通过后文的举例进行猜测。
