问题    As an immigrant to North American, you will need to ensure that employers and organizations such as colleges and universities properly recognize your international credentials. These may be trade certificates, but also educational qualifications such as degrees or diplomas, that you have completed or partially-completed.
   It is common for hiring personnel to have little or no training in evaluating an academic background earned outside of North America. But at the same time, employers see formal education as very important when hiring. Education is a hiring requirement for 60% of employment opportunities, but 40% of human resources staff say that if they do not know a lot about the value of documents attained elsewhere, they will not recognize them.
   Research has shown that sometimes immigrants start with a lower salary level than people who have completed their training in North America. You may want to apply for employment opportunities with companies whose staff understands your situation or more importantly, who know where to send you to get your North American credentials. If you need to complete your training in North America, apprenticeships leading to skilled trades are in high demand. Apprenticeship training is a hands-on program where about 10% is in a classroom setting at community colleges, and 90% of the training is on-the-job. The training involves working for an employer and earning income during the training period. Sometimes there is a limit of 5 years for training. You may be able to use this training toward college or university credits or education. There is a good potential for long-term job security after completion of apprenticeship training.
   If you earned your papers outside of North America, you will need to get them translated if you want to work or study. It is important for you that your education is assessed by an accredited assessment service when you are applying for jobs, and particularly if the job posting has an education requirement. As well, it is recommended that you include a copy of the report with your cover letter. It is suggested that you provide this information early and do not wait until the time you actually meet with the employer. Getting job interviews is more 50% of the whole process of securing employment; and with an evaluation report, you want to make sure that employers are screening you "in" rather than "out".
The word "credentials", as used in Paragraph 2, can be best defined as______.

选项 A、credits
B、qualifications
C、employment
D、credulity

答案B

解析 含义题。原文credentials所在一句意为:也许你想向了解你情况的员工所在的公司申请工作,或者更为重要的是,那些公司知道把你送到什么地方可以帮助你获得北美地区的资质认证。credit“学分,信用”,employment“雇佣”,credulity“轻信”,均与原文意思不符。因此,正确答案是B。
