Work and the Young: Generation Jobless

“YOUNG people ought not to be idle (闲置的) . It is very bad for them," said MargaretThatcher in 1984. She was right: there are few worse things that society can do to its young than to leave them ignored.

Yet more young people are idle than ever. The International Labour Organization reports that 75m (m=million) young people globally are looking for a job. World Bank surveys suggest that 262m young people are economically inactive. The number of young people without a job is nearly as large as the population of America (311m).

Two factors play a big part. First, the long slowdown in the West has reduced demand for labour, and it is easier to put off hiring young people than it is to fire older workers. Second, inemerging economies population growth is the fastest in countries with disordered labour markets, such as India and Egypt.

One possible way to settle this problem is to stimulate growth. That is easier said than done in a world suffering from debt, and is anyway a possible answer. The countries where the problem is worst (such as Spain and Egypt) suffered from high youth unemployment even when their economies were growing. Throughout the recession ( 经济不景气)，companies have continued to complain that they cannot find young people with the right skills. This underlines the importance of two other solutions: reforming labour markets and improving education.

Youth unemployment is often at its worst in countries with inflexible labour markets. High taxes on hiring, strict rules about firing, high minimum wages: all these help force young people to the street corner. South Africa has some of the highest unemployment, in part because it has powerful trade unions and inflexible rules about hiring and firing. Many countries with high youth unemployment rate have high minimum wages and heavy taxes on labour. India has around 200 laws on work and pay.

Across the OECD (经合组织) , people who left school at the earliest opportunity are twice as likely to be unemployed as university graduates. But it is unwise to conclude that governments should simply continue increasing the number of people who graduate from university. In both Britain and the United States many people with arts degrees are finding it impossible to get appropriate jobs. In North Africa university graduates are twice as likely to be unemployed as non-graduates.

What matters is not just number of years of education people get, but its content. This means expanding the study of science and technology and closing the gap between the world of education and the world of work-for example by upgrading vocational education and by building closer relations between companies and schools. Germany, which has the second lowest level of youth unemployment in the rich world, owns long-history system of vocational schooling and apprenticeships (学徒制).

The problem of youth unemployment has been getting worse for several years. But there are at last some reasons for hope. Governments are trying to address the mismatch between education and the labour market. Companies are beginning to take more responsibility for the young. The world has a real chance of introducing an education-and-training revolution worthy of the solution to the problem.

1.According to the passage, which of the following statements may the author approve of ?

A. A flexible labour market is not enough to raise youth employment.

B. As long as the economy grows youth unemployment will soon be settled.

C. Firms fire more older workers than the young in the economic slowdown.

D. Powerful trade unions and high minimum wages lead to high employment.

2.The author mentioned the German's education system in order to show_____________.

A. rich countries are responsible for high youth unemployment

B. the problem of youth unemployment has been settled

C. companies have more responsibilities to settle youth unemployment

D. the match between education and the labour market can reduce youth unemployment

3.What does the underlined phrase "vocational education” mean in Para.7 ?

A. Technical training.

B. Higher education.

C. Moral education.

D. Business courses.

4.The passage mainly talks about _____________.

A. the need for labour market revolution

B. possible ways to settle global youth unemployment

Many young people would like to make a booth（货摊）to do business on the street in the name of entrepreneurship（创业精神）and sell lemon. It might seem like an easy sell-kids offering cool drinks. Some entrepreneurs offer their tips on how to make money from this.

Joe Mansueto, founder of the investment company Morningstar, sold lemonade as a kid. "You should always pay attention to customers," he said. "When somebody's walking down the street, get out from behind the booth, greet them, talk to them and just make friends with them to attract more customers."

However, his two sons decided to sell a different drink. When they were 8 and 10, his boys sold cocoa outside their home. The great thing about business is that there are really no rules. You can be creative and try something different, Mansueto said.

But it wasn't enough for US representative Mike Quigley and his older brother to sell drinks. They sold old books at the booth and would rent them out for customers to read while they enjoyed their drinks.

Adam Ochstein, founder of StratEx Partners, a human resources service company, gave frequent visitors cards which were printed with a lemon. Every five drinks, customers got one card which allowed them to pay less than half of the next drink. However, they didn't price the drinks. "If you want to give nothing, give nothing. If you want to give $2, give $2. I think we had let the adults give more money than they probably would like to, "Today, he suggests kids use social media for marketing. He said, "It can tell people where the booth is going to be and what unique specials you're running."

1.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. How to set up a big company.

B. How to attract more customers.

C. How to make friends with others.

D. How to tell apart rich customers.

2.How did Mike Quigley make his booth different from the others?

A. By selling cocoa outside their home.

B. By renting used books to the customers.

C. By making friends with his customers.

D. By lending new books to his customers.

3.What advice about the booth does Ochstein give to kids?

A. Giving visitors free drinks

B. Giving visitors cards with a lemon

C. Taking advantage of social media

D. Allowing customers to pay less money

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. Street business B. Marketing fashion

As we know, it is common for people to catch a cold in winter and most people believe they know the reason for colds. However, scientists say people have some wrong beliefs about the cause of colds.

Many people think that once you get infected by colds, you will not be easy to be attacked by colds for the rest of your life. That’s not the case. There are about 200 different viruses that cause the common cold. You catch a cold because of one kind of them this time, but you might catch a cold next time because of another.

Others believe that people get sick just because of the cold weather in winter. That is also wrong.

It’s because people tend to stay closer in winter and the cold virus is transmitted from one person to another through handshakes, sneezing, or coughing.

While there is no actual cure for the common cold, scientists say there are still a few things you can do to help you. Some experts say honey and chicken soup are effective against colds. Especially honey. There is increasing evidence that it helps shorten the duration of the common cold sometimes even by two to three days particularly in children. Chicken soup also helps reduce the duration of the cold.

In addition, if you do have a cold and you don’t feel like eating anything, it’s not going to hurt you but you have to drink a lot and you can drink water or tea because doctors say the water cycle in your bodies helps to cure colds. That’s very important. Though there is more than one way to deal with colds, doctors say the best advice is to continue using whatever works best for you.

1.We know from the second paragraph that ______.

A．the common cold is caused by only one virus

B．there are people who never catch a cold

C．colds can be caused by different viruses

D．all people are easily attacked by colds

2. The underlined word “transmitted” in the fourth paragraph means “______”.

A．passed           B．changed          C．cured            D．caused

3.If you have a cold, you can do the following except ______.

A．drinking a lot of water                    B．drinking chicken soups

C．eating honey                           D．forcing yourself to eat

4. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A．now scientists have found out practical treatment for colds

B．different people may have different ways to fight against colds

C．working in freezing weather is the main reason for colds

D．colds can be passed from animals to human beings
