Do today’s kids make terrible entry-level workers? 【T1】
That’s a question much on employers’ minds as graduation season kicks off and young adults begin their first full-time jobs.
We’ve all heard the stories: assistants who won’t " assist," new workers who can’t set an alarm, employees who can’t grasp institutional hierarchies.
Bosses who toiled in the pre-Self Esteem Era salt mines have little patience for these upstarts. 【T2】
A popular advice columnist had some choice words last week for a young employee who dismissively waved her sandwich at a superior requesting back-up during a critical meeting.
The young woman explained that she was on her lunch break. Moreover, she noted, being "errand girl" wasn’t in her job description.
It’s easy to laugh off these anecdotes, but there are some complex reasons for the lack of familiarity with work norms. 【T3】
For one thing, many twenty-something adults have never held a menial summer job, once considered training wheels for adult life in the American middle class.
It was once common to see teenagers mowing lawns, waiting tables, digging ditches, and bagging groceries for modest wages in the long summer months. 【T4】
Summer employment was a social equalizer, allowing both rich and financially strapped teenagers to gain a foothold on adulthood, learning the virtues of hard work, respect and teamwork in a relatively low-stakes atmosphere.
But youth employment has declined precipitously over the years and young people are losing a chance to develop these important life skills in the process. 【T5】
Teenagers and twenty-somethings are the least skilled members of the work force, so it’s not surprising that they would be edged out in a recession by more reliable full-time workers.
【T5】
选项
答案
二十几岁的年轻人是掌握技能最少的劳动力,因此在经济衰退时期他们便会被更加可靠的全职工作者所取代。
解析
理解该句的重点是词组“edge out”。根据本句中因果关系,考生不难理解,在遭遇经济衰退的时候,职场上掌握技能最少的新手可以和熟练的全职工相抗衡吗?当然不行,新手是首当其冲被“排挤出去”的人。
