I’ve worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer since I graduated from high school, but making the transition (转变) between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be uncivilized, getting to a factory by 6 o’clock each morning is torture. My friends never seem to understand why I’m so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.
There’re few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.
The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight. Issues like downsizing (裁员) and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour.
After working 12-hour shifts in a factory, the other options have become only too clear. When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale now ring true.
These lessons I’m learning, however valuable, are always tinged (带有) with a sense of guilt. Many people pass their lives in the places I briefly work, spending 30 years where I spend only two months at a time. "This job pays well, but it’s hell on the body," said one co-worker. "Study hard and keep reading," she added.
My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good. [br] What does the author say about college students?
选项
A、They expect too much from the real world.
B、They have little interest in blue-collar life.
C、They think too highly of themselves.
D、They are confident of their future.
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。文章第二段第一句提到,很少有人像从来没步入真实社会的大学生一样自信。隐含的意思是大学生过于自信。第二句提到“我”的同龄人似乎总是高估自己的时间和知识的价值。C)中的think too highly of是文中overestimate的同义转述,故为答案。
