27、g peoples attitudes to work. Give yourself about twelve minutes to do this reading test.Look at the sentences below and read the comments by five managers on the attitudes of young workers to their jobs.Match each statement (1-7) to one of the extracts (A, B, C, D or E).You will need to use some of
28、the letters more than once.AI find that the priorities of young employees are very different to my generation and previous generations. Leisure time is now much more organised than it was 20 years ago. When my parents had a break from work they used to do very little other than just relax. Nowadays,
29、 people want to plan an activity holiday or an action-packed weekend-to go diving or climbing or whitewater rafting. So necessarily they spend more time thinking about and planning these leisure events. This naturally has a knock-on effect on their work-they think less about work and more about leis
30、ure time.BYoung workers certainly feel less commitment to their employers than in the past. But in many ways employers have themselves to blame for this. The demands on companies to be more competitive means that they hire people and then lay them off pretty much as they please. They need this flexi
31、bility. In other words, they dont show much loyalty to their own staff. What we are seeing now is a reaction to this. Employees have much less loyalty to their employers these days. If you ask a young person how many jobs he expects to have in his life, he will generally say about five to ten.CI thi
32、nk that the work-life balance that young people have found is much healthier than it was in the past. They dont just live for work-they think about what they are working for. At the same time employers have moved to take account of this by offering more flexibility in working hours, better maternity
33、 or paternity leave conditions so that young parents can have more time with their children, and so on. Its a natural evolution. Just because young people have more commitment to getting their home life right, it doesnt necessarily follow that they are less committed to their jobs.DI worry that stan
34、dards in our schools and universities have dropped quite dramatically and that people entering the workforce are very poorly equipped to deal with the demands of working life. What is more worrying is that the graduates themselves dont realise this. They think they have all the necessary qualificati
35、ons and knowledge to be successful at work, when in fact they are lacking. So when they are faced with the prospect of learning more on the job and serving their time to gain this necessary experience, they become frustrated. The fact is that many of them have an overinflated opinion of their own wo
36、rth to the company, and they need to be made aware of this.EThe attitudes of young workers are part of the change in values that we see around us generally. The most significant of these values are: first, a fear of being poor. There are so many images of material wealth around and young people want
37、 a part of it. Second, the belief that respect has to be earned-it cannot just be expected by elders or seniors at work. Thirdly, a belief in expressing yourself rather than controlling yourself, which perhaps earlier generations thought was a virtue. So we, the older generation, must accept that th
38、ese are the values of today and adapt to them in order to get the best from our young workforce.The education system does not prepare young people for working life. D（分数：14.00）(1).It is the older generation who must accept that attitudes have changed. _（分数：2.00）填空项 1:_(2).Young peoples free time is
