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. "
Career consultant Alexandra Levit warns green hand workers that they should______.

选项 A、endeavor to protect their own time skillfully
B、balance their personal life and their work
C、keep down their urges to be promoted faster
D、start their work with a relaxed attitude

答案A

解析 事实细节题。由定位句可知,职业顾问亚历山德拉·莱斯特建议人们要格外努力去保护自己的时间,但要讲究方法,A)与之相符。根据本段第一句中…new grads in entry—level career jobs should resistearly urges to sacrifice personal time in exchange for a faster climb to the top可知,亚历山德拉·莱斯特不赞成处于行业人门阶段工作中的新毕业大学生为了迅速提升而牺牲个人时间的冲动,但没有提到平衡个人生活和工作的问题,故排除B);这句同时表明并非所有想获得迅速提升的愿望都要受到压制,前提要看这些新毕业大学生是否以牺牲个人时间为代价,故排除C);D)中关于工作心态的问题原文没有涉及,故排除。
