A
The United States’ job market has millions of unfilled jobs. Many of those jobs require technical skills. However, employers say many of those jobs are vacant because they cannot find people with the right skills. Labor experts call this paradox the skills gap. A number of efforts have been launched to better understand and solve it.
Nicholas Wyman wrote a book called, “Job U: How to Find Wealth and Success by Developing the Skills Companies Actually Need.” He calls the skills gap, “a labor market mismatch — people without jobs and jobs without people.”
In the United States, the cost of a traditional four-year college can be very high. U.S. colleges and universities produce many graduates every year. Yet unemployment rates among new graduates are high.
Nicholas Wyman says a combination of technical classes and on-the-job training — an apprenticeship (学徒) — would be a better choice for many people. He notes that, “An apprenticeship is where you learn from a specialist, you are provided guidance and you learn in an on-the-job environment. It is vital to get technical skills that are of immediate value to an employer. And it is important to get transferrable skills because technology and the nature of the workplace are changing at a faster rate than before.”
There are questions about the definition, size, and nature of the skills gap in the labor force. Iowa State University researchers studied some of these questions recently. They examined employment, education and population information, and found the evidence of a skills gap is weak.
Iowa State’s Liesl Eathington noted that many policymakers and employers say there is opportunity in “middle skills” areas, like machining. Yet she said the most recent recession (经济衰退) hit some of those job areas hard. She said students should be on guard because “our economy really isn’t adding that many jobs that require the middle skills.”
She said employers could get more well-qualified applicants if they offered higher wages. She noted that graduates of two-year training programs still generally make less money than graduates of four-year colleges.
The question of finding the night person for the right job remains a difficult one. The Department of Labor says 8.7 million Armenians are unemployed and another 6.7 million can find only part-time work.
1、The underlined word “paradox” in paragraph 1 refers to ________.
A．the large number of unemployed new graduates
B．the demands employers make on employees
C．people without jobs and jobs without people
D．people disqualified for the vacant positions
2、What will Nicholas Wyman probably advise new graduates to do to get employed?
A．To receive technical training. B．To drop the costly college education.
C．To value the job opportunities. D．To arm themselves with various skills.
3、According to Liesl Eathington, what is the solution to the skills gap?
A．Reforming the dullness of economy. B．Guarding against recessions.
C．Updating workers’ professional skills. D．Raising employees’ earnings.

Peking Man, the earliest human ancestor that lived in China between roughly 200,000 or 750,000 years ago, was a wood-working and fire-using man. The man unimaginable liked to drill holes into objects for unknown reasons. Later, some new discovery painted a picture of a human ancestor who was many more complicated than previously believed.
Peking Man first discovered in 1923 in a cave near the village of Zhoukoudian, close to Beijing. During World War Two, fossils of Peking Man went missed. Researchers do some lab work including using microscopes to look at artifacts made by Peking Man. Beside, scientists were still trying to determine the details. Finally, the analysis showed that what Peking Man had the interest in clothes and that some tools were used for removing animal skins.
