Don’t look now, but they’re all around you. They’re standing by the copy machine, hovering by the printer, answering the phone. Yes, they’re the overworked, underappreciated interns: young, eager and not always paid. And with just 20% of the graduating class of 2011 gainfully employed, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, there are more and more of them each day. It seems the importance of internships for securing full-time work has dramatically increased over the years.
Intern, previously used in the medical profession to define a person with a degree but without a license to practice, became a term for a physician in training following World War I, when medical school was no longer seen as preparation enough for practice. Later, the word migrated to politics as an alternative to the term apprentice as a reference to those interested in learning about careers in government. Meanwhile, co-op programs, in which students would work at a company for an extended period during college, emerged. From 1970 to 1983, the number of colleges and universities offering the programs increased from 200 to 1,000. Sure, it took an extra year to earn a B. A, but for three months each school year, students worked for companies they were interested in, tried out careers they weren’t sure about and earned money to help cover tuition.
Internship programs have produced several successes: Bill Gates was once a congressional page, and Oprah Winfrey worked at a CBS affiliate during her college years, just to name a few. Of course, Monica Lewinsky was a 22-year-old White House intern when she engaged in an intimate relationship with President Clinton, a scandal that still taints both offices.
Today’s interns are not limited to summer jobs at their local businesses. Some programs provide dorm housing in cities like New York and Washington, allowing students from around the country to work for the nation’s biggest companies. Many popular cities even have Facebook groups devoted to providing social outings and networking opportunities for the thousands of interns who descend each summer.
Though internships were formerly praised as an opportunity for students to explore career options, doing so now comes with a price. Some experts argue that internships punish those who might decide later than age 18 what they want to do with their life. More important, they can favor wealthier students, who can afford to not make any money during the summer, over the less privileged. Still, with pressure increasing on students to find work, the passion for internships is only growing. To land that first job, career advisers now say, applicants should have two or more internships under their belt. Anyone who takes a summer to simply explore might be too late.
The case of Monica Lewinsky is cited in Paragraph 3 to show that ________.
选项
A、Lewinsky is a successful intern model for others to learn from
B、interns can be influential, though may not in a positive way
C、working in governments is more complicated than in CBS
D、interns should watch out for their behaviors, avoiding scandals
答案
B
解析
根据题干可直接定位到第三段。本题问作者提及Monica Lewinsky这个例子的用意是什么。第三段讲到实习项目产生的一些名人,一开始提到的是实习造就的成功人士,最后提到Monica Lewinsky,通过关键表达engaged m an intimate relationship with“与……发生亲密关系”以及scandal“丑闻”,可知其影响不一定是积极的,所以B项正确。Monica Lewinsky是实习项目产生的丑闻和不良影响,所以A项“Lewinsky是一个成功的实习生榜样,其他人应向其学习”错误。C项“在政府工作比在CBS工作更复杂”,文中并未对工作环境的复杂度进行比较,故C项可排除。D项是从一般常识出发,从Monica Lewinsky的例子或许可以得出其中的结论,但这并非作者的目的所在,其目的与前面两个例子一致,表明实习项目的巨大影响力。
