问题     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 "afterthought" during the past year because she toiled from two to five hours every school night as student overseer of 300 campus 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. " If 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 millennials. "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 Igielnik’s, Merav Fine, is taking a few weeks off before joining the work force as a legal assistant at a small law firm. Fine jokes that—after a heavy class schedule and an 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 with previous generations, many millennials are protesting against the idea that work is life. They’re intent on finding jobs that are meaningful both personally and to the community and the environment.
    " The things that this generation is asking for—flexibility, balance, opportunities—are all things that previous generations wanted," says Dan Black, top campus recruiter at Ernst & Young. "But they feel much more emboldened(使勇敢)to ask for these things. They know they’re going to be a bigger part of the work force. "
What can we learn about the millennials generation from the last paragraph?
选项 A、It’s much more flexible than previous generations in social life.
B、It has higher expectation for balance than previous generations.
C、It tends to seek for more opportunities than previous generations.
D、It’s braver in pursuing what they want than previous generations.
答案D
解析 推理判断题。最后一段主要谈到“千年一代”和以往几代人的区别。根据定位段中Ernst&Young公司首席校园招聘人丹·布莱克所说的话可知，“千年一代”所要求的灵活、平衡和机会都是过去几代人曾希望的。不过与过去几代人相比，“千年一代”更有勇气去争取它们，故D)与之相符。
