u校园quiz3答案新视野大学英语(第三版)读写教程2 长篇阅读10题,总分值:20分Directions:You are going to read a passage with 10 statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Teens Give up Traditional Summer Jobs to Build Careers(A) Pikesville Josh Borris is working this summer, but he wont be paid. Completing a second summer as an intern (实习生) at Correct Rx Pharmacy Services Inc., he said, is more valuable than earning money at a traditional summer job. “I want to one day be a pharmacist (药剂师) researcher figuring out how drugs interact with the human body,” he said of his summer work at the institutional pharmacy company. “This internship is an exper ience for the future.” Even as fewer teens seek to work during the summer, some like Borris are pursuing internships or other experiences. They hope such experiences will give them a leg up on their intended careers. “Right now, there is pressure on findin g a career,” said John A. Challenger, CEO of the employment-consulting firm. “People worry that there wont be something for them coming out of school.”(B) But not everyone. Many teenagers simply dont want to work. Only about a million of the 11 million youths between 16 and 19 who were neither employed nor actively seeking work last year wanted a job, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The rest, according to surveys conducted by the bureau, said they did not want to work. The percentage of youths in the workforce has declined steadily since 1994, according to the BLS. It hit an all-time low record last year and may be headed even lower this summer.(C) Still, there are jobs for teens and teens who want to take them. Nearly1.1 million teens found work last summer, up from 960,000 in 2010, according to the BLS. In a report issued in late April, John A. Challenger, CEO of the firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas employment consulting projected more would find jobs this summer, even though they face increased competition from older, more experienced applicants, including people in their 20s looking for any kind of work and “retirees who are seeking low-skilled, low-pressure jobs to supplement their retirement income”. Not counted in the dat a are theteens who win internships. While most internships go to college and graduate school students, some high-schoolers also are in the hunt.(D) “There may be as many as two million interns employed each year,” wrote Ross Eisenbrey, vice president of the Economic Policy Institute, in a report issued May 23. “Experts agree that the internship phenomenon was growing even before the Great Recession and has accelerated since. Yet, few can provide any information on the impact of internships, paid or unpaid, on the labor market or the wages and employment prospects of young people.” More and more teenagers are keen on filling their resums with work experience beyond the traditional summer jobs of scooping (用勺舀) ice cream and waiting tables, Challenger said.(E) Riley Drake, a senior, got an unpaid internship last June at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine through family connections. She still works there on an immunology (免疫学) project, developing and testing tumor-targeted antibodies (抗体). “I was excited to just be a lab monkey,” Drake said, “but I ended up getting to work on my own project. This is valuable because not only am I finding something no one has found before, but Im learning interpersonal skills, lab skills and how to interact wit h people older than I am.”(F) Yvette Schein, a senior at Baltimores Bryn Mawr School, also has used her summers as an opportunity to pursue what interests her: global health. “For the past three summers Ive gone to Tanzania for five weeks,” she said. “I help with a public health research project called Partnership for the Rapid Elimination of Trachoma.” Scheins father, Dr. Oliver Schein, a professor at the Hopkins medical school, connected her with the project but doesnt go on the trips with her. Her first summer, she mostly handed out forms to patients. The past two years, she performed tests on patients with trachoma, an eye disease. This summer she is going to help map how the disease spreads by marking infected homes with a Global-Positioning Sys tem. “I get to see an entirely different perspective on the world,” she said. “This has changed my life.”(G) Not everyone is fortunate enough to have connections like those. Baltimore has developed a program to find real-world work experience for city te enagers called Baltimore City Youth Works, which finds paying summer jobs for young people between 14 and 21 in the public and private sectors.The program, which runs from June 25 to August 3, aims to give young people “the chance to put a stamp on what our future workforce will look like,” said Brice Fr
