   Excerpt 1
                                             The Educationist
   A report indicating that one in eleven college graduates have been jobless for a year has raised public concern and caused heated discussions among the country’s Internet communities.
   In a blog, Xiong Bingqi, vice-president of the 21st Century Education Research Center, quoted the "2012 Graduate Employment Report" , which showed that 570,000 of 6. 8 million college graduates in 2011 remained jobless one year after graduation. Among them, more than 100,000 neither went to school or work nor received vocational skills and they rely on the support from their parents. This is known as the NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) group.
   Xiong blamed university education for not preparing students for China’s fast-developing society and high demanding employers.
   The lack of career planning and aimless job searching are two reasons why so many college graduates cannot get a job, with many more developing a job-hopping habit, he said.

                                                     Netizens
   Jack, head of an advertising agency: Companies want to hire people who can get the job done on the first day of work, but few graduates can. I was tired of listening to job applicants talking about how they obtained their first-class scholarships and successfully led the student union for four years, only to find out they do not know how to send a fax.
   Zhao Jingjin: College graduates may know theories from books, but they don’t know how to put them into everyday work.
   Zhang Chunxia, a teacher from Beijing Foreign Studies University: We have introduced courses on career planning and development. We have also invited alumni with established careers to deliver speeches to prepare students for their future work. I find those who work as university counselors and volunteer teachers, or start their own businesses are more confident than their peers as they know where their strengths lie.
   Wu Ying, a graduate of Beijing Foreign Studies University: It’s a vicious circle. You cannot find a job, so you go back to school. Then you know less about the job market and still can’t get a job when you graduate for the second time.
   Li Ming: Many college graduates who grew up in the 1980s have a narrower definition of a "good job" than the older generation. Many would rather stay at home jobless if they failed to get a stable or high-paid job.
   Xiang Zuo: If young people only consider government jobs as secure and decent, they lose many other opportunities to enjoy life.
   Zhong Shan, a graduate from Fudan University: I opted for a gap year after graduation as a buffer to job-hunting. I went to Sichuan Province in western China to teach the rural children. It enriched my experience, but the reality is that I still have to face the fierce competition in the labor market in the near future.

答案    My View on NEET
   NEET has become a serious problem as the economy of many countries slows down. Some blame university education as the culprit for students’ inability to get a job while others accuse graduates of being well-equipped with theories from books but poorly equipped with any practical skill. To cater to the market demand, some universities have already introduced courses related to career planning and development.
   Some graduates solve this problem by building their own businesses from scratch and still others choose to further their education or be volunteers in some remote areas to gather experience. Whatever the solution, NEET must be taken into serious consideration.
   In recent years, the vicious term—NEET—has caught much public attention. It refers to "Not in Education, Employment or Training". Like a crouching jungle beast waiting to bite, NEET afflicts the young graduates most. It can cause serious problems to our society if not attended to.
   The plight of NEET may attribute to a host of reasons. Firstly, the current university curriculum lacks guidance in career planning and development for its graduates. Many textbooks abound in theories but are poorly equipped with practical skills which are badly needed in jobs. Secondly, without a clear aim borne in mind, students themselves are somehow unwilling to make efforts to improve themselves for their future career. Thirdly, as the economy dwindles, there are fewer chances of getting a job compared with the past.
   To tackle this problem, a spectrum of suggestions have been offered. To begin with, graduates are encouraged to start their own businesses from scratch. Moreover, some can further their education at home or abroad, which can be a useful springboard for their future jobs. Finally, volunteer jobs can be taken to enrich their experience or widen their horizons. Whatever the solution, we should open up more avenues for these hungry job-hunting students or we would face the serious consequences of NEET as a whole.
