Why Do Millennials (千禧一代) Keep Changing Jobs?

Millennials have been labelled as the “job-hopping generation”. In fact, a recent survey showed that 49% of millennials would leave their job within the next two years! Observers from older generations may think it is caused by the youth’s laziness. However, if we search deeper, there is more than meets the eye.

Instead of the traditional and practical reasons of changing jobs, such as to get better salaries or greater job stability (稳定), many millennials are inspired by value-driven goals. For example, more have to seek new opportunities whenever they lack a sense of belonging in their present jobs. Additionally, some also leave their positions for companies which better suit their value system. Therefore, it is clear that many millennials do not only consider their jobs as a source of income, but in fact, seek meaning and professional achievement in their daily jobs.

Clearly, the fearlessness of millennials in seeking job opportunities has been inspired by new business models. With the rise of online platforms, millennials who prefer work-life balance and flexibility have been attracted towards such jobs. Moreover, the increase of social media has also created more career paths. From food and travel bloggers to YouTube content creators, more millennials are leaving boring desk-bound jobs to look for more untraditional, but certainly attractive, careers.

However, people have different opinions on job-hopping. While some employers value rich experience and skills that job-hopping brings about, many of them still look down upon job-hopping. Some even argue in disappointment that the youths of today are lazy, unable to bear hardships and too self-centered.

The former American President Jimmy Carter once said, “Human identity is no longer defined (定义) by what one does but by what one owns.” Indeed, his comment still rings true today. Rather than allow traditional models of success in society to define our youths, the millennial generation should be encouraged to define new horizons of success by making the right career choices guided by the right values.

【小题1】Why are Millennials more likely to move to new jobs?
A.Because they are unwilling to work very hard.
B.Because they want to realize their self-worth.
C.Because they hate pressure from present jobs.
D.Because they need higher income and position.
【小题2】What does the author want to show in Paragraph 3?
A.The rapid development of social media promotes new career paths.
B.There are fewer professions available to Millennials on the Internet.
C.There are factors contributing to Millennials’ flexible job-changing.
D.The tiring and boring jobs prevent Millennials staying in one position.

A.Courageous and noble.B.Lazy and self-centered.
C.Anxious and unconfident.D.Creative and hard-working.
【小题4】What is the author’s attitude towards Millennials’ career choice?

Congratulations! You have finally graduated from your university. Are you wondering where and how to find a new job related to your studies? Here are some tips for you.

First of all, make sure to have a correct and well-organized resume(简历)and cover letter. State clearly why you are the best applicant for a given job offer. In other words, “be clear”. Before writing them down, read the job description to know exactly what kind of job it is. Go online or on TV and try to discover what kind of person the employer is searching for. And you can also prepare some questions that can be discussed during a probable interview.

Second, you have to find ways to make your resume outstanding from other employees. Employers receive and have to read about hundreds of resumes every day. They do not have enough time to read all of them carefully. A copy from the Internet can be a real danger. Online models are quite the same, so using them is giving employers chances not to read yours. Therefore, you’d better target your resume at the special job that you are applying for. Make sure that there are no mistakes in it. You can also call the employer and tell him or her that you are really interested in the job.

Keep this last tip in your mind. You may have tried everything but the future still remains unopened. When facing failure, everybody can feel disappointed, especially the students who are searching for their first job. If you give up too early and lose confidence, you will miss the chance. Even if many people are lacking in motivation, don’t let it be you. Perseverance(毅力)is important in life.

【小题1】What should you do before you write your resume and cover letter?
A.Ask the employer to send you a model of cover letters.
B.Carefully read and know about the job description.
C.Let the employer find you on the Internet or on TV.
D.Show your desire to work in the company.
【小题2】To make your resume outstanding, you should ______.
A.aim it at a special job
B.use the online models
C.copy from the newspaper
D.read hundreds of resumes
【小题3】The last paragraph suggests you should ______.
A.try everything in the future
B.be confident and don’t give up
C.practice writing resumes early and don’t lose the chance
D.show your excitement and enthusiasm
【小题4】What can be the best title of the passage?
A.How to find a new job
B.How to find jobs online
C.How to write a perfect resume
D.How to be confident while you’re finding jobs

There was no way to escape when they spotted a polar bear. Verena Mohaupt and a handful of colleagues were trapped on a floating sea ice while the bear gazed at them, smelling the air, a dangerous sign.

“That’s when everything kicks in,” Mohaupt says, “and you focus on what’s important.” As a colleague fired into the sky as a warning shot, Mohaupt radioed their research ship a few kilometres away, whose helicopter luckily arrived quickly and Mohaupt didn’t have to use the gun that was hanging over her shoulder.

Keeping a lookout for bears was a regular duty for Mohaupt, the logistics coordinator(后勤协调员) for a year-long mission known as the MOSAiC——the largest Arctic research exploration in history. The project, consisting of roughly 300 scientists, led by scientist MarkusRex, has collected massive measurements that will help better forecast how warming will transform the globe in the coming decades. For months, the exploration operated in constant darkness while polar bears wandered nearby, storms rocked the ship and the ice shifted and cracked. Then, when the Sun returned, the ice began to melt, creating a life-threatening risk and a nightmare for researchers who needed to keep their instruments from sinking.

Tasked with the security of the mission, Mohaupt designed an extensive training course for the participants in which they learnt how to avoid the danger, like storm-rocking and ice-cracking. They jumped into a Norwegian channel in their survival suits and climbed out of the freezing waters using only their ice picks. They learnt how to escape from a crashed helicopter. And they discussed the psychological effects of being far from home. Mohaupt brought knitting equipment, yoga mats and a violin for their men tal health——although having been prepared for the isolation.

Mohaupt didn’t expect a career in polar regions, but says she has always been drawn to the north. “She was there to make sure that we were protected,” says Markus Rex, “Mohaupt is certainly the champion in the field.”

【小题1】Why does the author mention a polar bear in the beginning?
A.To show the threat of bears.B.To tell an interesting story.
C.To introduce Mohaupt’s job.D.To describe the polar scenery.
【小题2】What can we know from paragraph 3?
A.The working conditions were tough.B.Mohaupt helped to collect massive data.
C.The exploration went on in total darkness.D.Mohaupt’s duty was to protect polar bears.
【小题3】Which of the following best describes Mohaupt?
A.Ambitious and brave.B.Passionate and dependent.
C.Considerate and modest.D.Professional and responsible.
【小题4】What is a suitable title for the text?
A.A Potential Danger in the Exploration.B.A Guardian Angel of Polar Researchers.
C.A Great Scientific Exploration in History.D.A Great Female Scientist in Polar Research.
