Graduating seniors may face higher risk for job burnout (筋疲力尽，枯竭．than their parents' generation, say business and career experts.
One of those grads,22-year-old Ruth Igielnik, kicked off her career just weeks after graduating from the University of Maryland.
Igielnik should be familiar with stretching her boundaries. She admits classes were an "after thought" during the past year because she toiled from two to five hours every school night as student overseer of 300campus groups.
But new grads in entry-level career jobs should resist early urges to sacrifice personal time in exchange for a faster climb to the top, warns career consultant Alexandra Levit, specializing in so-called millennials, the generation born from about 1980 to 1995. "You have to go out of your way to safeguard your time, but you have to go about it more subtly," she says. "It you sacrifice too much of your personal life at the start, you risk having a stressful, unbalanced life that's permanent. "
in the next two to four years，retiring manager baby boomers will trigger a．wave of new openings for high-responsibility jobs。says Levit。A lot of those jobs will be filled by less-experienced workers-many’of them miUennials．“They're going to be given the responsibility they crave—because there’s No one else to take it．”Levit says．“Their sense of entitlement and their over—ambition are going to create a lot of stress for them．”
A friend of Igieinik's,Merak Fine。is taking a few weeks off before joining the work：force as a legal assist{mt at a small law firm．Fine jokes that—after a heavy class schedule and all intense internship school has left her burned out before she’s even begun her career．So she worries that her career might steal time she should spend with friends and family．
Compared the previous generations，many millennials are protesting again．st the idea that work is life.They’re intent on finding jobs that are meaningful both personally and to the community and the Environment．

A．was keen on socializing

3. 根据以下资料，回答58-1题：
Mothers really do favour their “precious first borns”over the children they have later, research has found.
Among examples of attention lavished (慷慨给予．on the "precious firstborns" (PFBs．were tales of how mothers cub bed shampoo into their own eyes before using it on their baby to ensure it wouldn't sting, and pulling their prams (婴儿车．backwards for miles to keep the sun off their adored offspring.
While they will conscientiously disinfect (消毒．everything that comes into contact with their PFB and change them up to 150 times a week, their later children have to make do with items licked clean by the dog and stew (炖，焖．in their own juices until their parents are ready to deal with them.
The term PFB and its poorer sibling the Neglected Subsequent Children (NSCs．were coined bymembers of the parenting website Mumsnet.
Among the tales reported was one of a mother that used a hairdryer on her baby's bottom after changing her.
"She was chatting to her neighbor and asked if they were ever disturbed by her crying. "
"The neighbor assured her they were not, but that they had been woken once or twice by what sounded like a hairdryer. "
Another serf-obsessed mother turned down an invitation of a friend and her baby's christening party because she thought her own child's "total gorgeousness would show their baby up and make them feel bad".
Another confirmed the differing hygiene (卫生学．practices used for Child One and Two, saying: "" First child, suck able items must be disinfected in Milton or steam after they're dropped on the floor. Second child: items must be wiped over with a clean damp cloth. Third child: give them to the dog to lick clean. "Justine Roberts, co-founder of Mumsnet, told the reporters that most mothers would agree they treated the first child differently to later children.
"Precious First Born syndrome is something-we can all relate to--most muns will confess to having checked on their sound asleep firstborns several times a night, while neglected subsequent children are liable to bawl for an age before we even notice," she said.
What does the phrase "stew in their own juices" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Do not take any measures.
B．Stand what has happened
C．Think about solutions themselves..
D．Cry for possible assistance.

B．He's been helping his sister a lot.
C．He can't stop searching for work yet.
D．He's been working on his paper constantly.
5. Passage One Questions 57-47 are based on the following passage．
Thousands of years ago man used handy rocks for his surgical operations．Later he used sharp bone or horn,metal knives and more recently,rubber and plastic and that was where we stuck，in surgical instrument terms，for many years．In the l960s a new tool was developed，one which was，first of all，to be of great practical use to the armed forces and industry,but which was also，in time，to revolutionize the art and science of surgery, The tool is the laser and it is being used by more and more surgeons all over the world，for a very large number of different complaints．The word“laser”means：light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation．As we all know,light is hot，any source of light—from the sun itself down to a humble match burning—will give warmth．But light is usually spread out over a wide area．The Light in a laser beam，however，is concentrated．This means that a light with no more power than that produced by an ordinary electric light bulb becomes intensely strong as it is concentrated to a pinpoint-sized beam.
Experiments with these pinpoint beams showed researchers that different energy sources produce beams that have a particular effect on certain living cells．It is now possible for eye surgeons to operate on the back of human eye without harming the front of the eye，simply by passing a laser beam right though the eye-ball．No knives，no stitches，no unwanted damage—a true surgical wonder.Operations which once left patients exhausted and in need of long period of recovery time now leave them feeling relaxed and comfortable。So much more difficult operations can now be tried.
The rapid development of laser techniques in the past ten years has made it clear that the future is likely to be very exciting．Perhaps some cancers will be treated with laser in a way that makes surgery not only safer but also more effective．Altogether,tomorrow may see more and more information coming to light on the diseases which can be treated medically．
Which of the following is NOT a tool used for surgical operations before the 1960s?
A．Bone．
B．Metal knives．
C．Scissors．
D．Rubber and plastic．
