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 view does Levit hold for millennials?
选项 A、She considers they are eager to be given responsibility.
B、She believes they will become experienced in two to four years.
C、She guesses they will face more stress from fierce competitions.
D、She feels they are so ambitious that nobody can compete with them.
答案A
解析 推理判断题。本段讲到莱斯特对“千年一代”未来工作前景的描述。由In the next two to four years，retiring manager baby boomers…A lot of those jobs will be filled by less—experienced workers-many of them millennials．推知，2—4年后，许多岗位才会由经验较少的“千年一代”来填补，所以“千年一代”不可能在2—4年后变成经验丰富的工作者，故排除B)；根据本段最后一句“Their sense of entitlement and their over-ambition are going to create a lot of stress for them．”推知，将会给“千年一代”带来很多压力的并不是激烈的竞争，而是这一代理所应得的态度和过高的抱负，故排除C)。由定位句可知，“千年一代”会被给予他们所期待的责任，因为没有其他人来承担，而不是因为他们太有“野心”，无人能与他们竞争，故A)为本题答案，并排除D)。
