Do today’s kids make terrible entry-level workers? 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（等级制度）It’s easy to laugh off these short, funny stories, but there are some complex reasons for the lack of familiarity with work standards. Mary 20-something adults have never held an unskilled 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. Summer employment was a social equalizer, allowing both affluent 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 sharply over the years, and young people are losing a chance to
develop these important life skills in the process.
In 2010, less than half of the nation’s youths（ages 16 to 24）were employed during the month of July, traditionally the peak of summer employment, the lowest percentage since the Bureau of Labor Statistics started collecting data in 1948 and almost 20 points lower than the peak in 1989. There’s little indication of that number improving. Teenagers and 20-somethings are the least skilled and most expendable members of the workforce, so it’s not surprising that they would be edged out in a recession by more reliable full-time workers such as senior citizens, immigrants and other adults who need those jobs.
But other long-term factors are at play. Life is more competitive than ever before, and kids or perhaps their parents——worry about wasting time on jobs that won’t yield career benefits. On Harvard’s campus, students feel considerable pressure to build their resumes the instant they arrive, giving up unskilled summer jobs for unpaid internships（实习）with nonprofit organizations, political campaigns and research labs. Others spend the summer studying foreign languages or preparing for grueling graduate-admissions exams.
The same pattern is found at the secondary-school level, where teen employment has been on a downward trend since 2000. Tougher graduation standards have created a threefold increase in summer-school attendance over the past 20 years. High schools also now routinely require public service---surely a good thing---that can further limit the available hours to work for pay.
Many of these social changes are a sign of a healthy, and upwardly mobile, society. But there is a problem when more than 50% of the nation’s young workforce has never held a basic,paying job.We may be postponing their entry into adulthood.One paradox(矛盾）of contemporary life is that the lengthening of adolescence(青春期）has not better prepared young people for what comes next. Despite unprecedented technological and cultural sophistication, this generation’s 20-year-olds lack some of the soft skills that are necessary to move up the professional ladder, perseverance, humility(谦恭）,flexibility and commitment.
In the end, though, it’s their elder who are responsible. If we want a more respectful and industrious workforce, we need to do a better job creating one.
66.Those "short, funny stories” in paragraph 1 reflect that those entry-level workers ________
A. are naughty kids who have never worked before
B. not very familiar with work standards
C. never trained for their adult life
D. are from the American middle class, doing unskilled job
67. What can teenagers learn from unskilled summer jobs according to the author?
A. How to mow lawns, wait tables and bag groceries
B. Rich and financially strapped teenagers being socially equal
C. The virtues of hard work, respect and teamwork
D. How to earn and spend money wisely in a low-risk atmosphere
68. Nowadays, the students in universities and secondary schools tend to ________
A. spend less on jobs that don't bring practical benefits
B. deal with crushing pressure by doing unpaid internships
C. attend summer schools to study foreign languages
D. replace summer jobs for pay with voluntary public service
69. The author is LEAST likely to agree that ________
A. the young people today lack some important life skills
B. young people should be well prepared for their adulthood
C. doing summer jobs can prepare young people for their future
D. young people themselves are to blame for their lack of soft skills
