Part3 阅读过关 五、阅读理解 Even before Molly Johnson-Jones graduated from University of Oxford in 2015, she felt professional pressure to land a “prestigious (有声望的)” job in a high- powered industry. She says she and her university friends felt there were professions that carried prestige—particularly the fields of finance, medicine and law. That's why Johnson-Jones ended up in investment banking for two years once she graduated, even though it didn't feel like quite the right fit. These kinds of “very traditional industries” have indeed carried prestige, says Jonah Stillman, co-founder of GenGuru, a firm that focuses on different generations in the workplace. As Gen Z join the workforce, however, experts and younger workers say what's considered a “prestigious” job may be expanding. Some younger workers do still report making money is prestigious, especially as the cost of living shoots up, and working for certain firms or in specific industries can make a career. But many also place equal stress on other elements, such as values of the company, flexibility, and freedom from long, intense work hours. And some data indicates that Gen Z are indeed turning to more meaningful work. April 2023 data from LinkedIn of more than 7,000 global workers shows 64% of Gen Zers in the UK, Germany and Ireland now consider it important to work for companies that share their values. The data also shows these young workers highlight work-life balance and career growth as top draws for potential workplaces. This change in Gen Z's attitude towards work may be in part because mechanisms(机制) behind finding jobs and seeing other possible career paths are changing, says Josh Graff, managing director of EMEA and LATAM at LinkedIn. With a greater number of jobs being posted online, “People have so much more access to information today than we did when we were applying for a job 20-plus years ago...This allows you to have a better understanding of a wealth of roles,” he says. “That change in the workplace, in the workforce...is leading people to understand there's a wider range of options out there.” 1.Why did Johnson-Jones end up in investment banking?( ) A.Because she had a passion for finance. B.Because she wanted to make a lot of money. C.Because she found herself well suited for the career. D.Because she felt pressure to take up a highly-regarded job. 2.What is the main point of paragraph 2?( ) A.Making money is still the main concern of younger workers. B.Gen Zers are not interested in traditional “prestigious” jobs. C.The definition of a “prestigious” job is changing for younger workers. D.Short-time work is still considered prestigious for younger workers. 3.What do most Gen Zers in the UK, Germany and Ireland consider important about work?( ) A.Whether they can have a good job title. B.Whether they can receive a good salary. C.Whether companies' values are in line with theirs. D.Whether they have enough opportunities to socialize. 4.What may be contributing to the change in Gen Z's attitude towards work?( ) A.The changing job search methods. B.A lack of high-paying jobs in traditional industries. C.A growing stress on companies' social responsibility. D.Increased access to information about potential career paths. 六、七选五 Navigate Career Planning and Active Exploration Career planning and active exploration are vital for shaping a fulfilling professional journey.
