Do today’s kids make terrible entry-level workers? 【T1】
That’s a question much on employers’ minds as graduation season kicks off and young adults begin their first full-time jobs.
We’ve all heard the stories: assistants who won’t " assist," new workers who can’t set an alarm, employees who can’t grasp institutional hierarchies.
Bosses who toiled in the pre-Self Esteem Era salt mines have little patience for these upstarts. 【T2】
A popular advice columnist had some choice words last week for a young employee who dismissively waved her sandwich at a superior requesting back-up during a critical meeting.
The young woman explained that she was on her lunch break. Moreover, she noted, being "errand girl" wasn’t in her job description.
It’s easy to laugh off these anecdotes, but there are some complex reasons for the lack of familiarity with work norms. 【T3】
For one thing, many twenty-something adults have never held a menial summer job, once considered training wheels for adult life in the American middle class.
It was once common to see teenagers mowing lawns, waiting tables, digging ditches, and bagging groceries for modest wages in the long summer months. 【T4】
Summer employment was a social equalizer, allowing both rich and financially strapped teenagers to gain a foothold on adulthood, learning the virtues of hard work, respect and teamwork in a relatively low-stakes atmosphere.
But youth employment has declined precipitously over the years and young people are losing a chance to develop these important life skills in the process. 【T5】
Teenagers and twenty-somethings are the least skilled members of the work force, so it’s not surprising that they would be edged out in a recession by more reliable full-time workers.

选项
答案
暑期打工促进社会平等,使家境富足和经济窘困的青少年都能在一个相对低风险的环境中了解到努力工作、尊重和团队合作的价值。
解析
理解该句的难点是“strapped”和“low-stakes”两处。根据前后文,考生应该能领会和富人相比较而言,普通青年时常面临的就是经济上的“困境”。而暑期工相比较正式的职场而言,其氛围还是相对轻松很多,“风险低”很多的。
