    "Young people ought not to be idle. It is very bad for them", said Margaret Thatcher many years ago. She was right: there are few worse things that society can do to its young than to leave them in uncertainty. Those who start their【C1】______ on the unemployment pension are more likely to have lower wages and more spells of joblessness later in life,【C2】______ they lose out on the chance to acquire skills and self-confidence in their formative years.
    Yet more young people are idle than ever. Depending on how you measure them, the number of young people without a job is nearly as large as the population of America. Two factors【C3】______ a big part. First, the long slowdown in the West has reduced【C4】______ for labour, and it is easier to【C5】______ hiring young people than it is to fire older workers.

选项
答案 F
解析 空格所在的分句用了比较句式，than前后两个部分属于平行结构，因此it is easier to______hiring young people应该也是“it is +a．+to do sth．”的结构，空格处应填入动词原形。上文提及如今有更多年轻人失业，可推知企业不太愿意招聘年轻人。词库中的put off“推迟”代入后表示“企业宁愿推迟招收年轻新员工，也不愿意解雇老员工”，符合语境。
