Passage
Nanning:With the number of college graduates climbing to a record high this year—some 2.12 million are entering the job market,an increase of 670,000,or 46.2 percent,over last year,many people are asking if China's first “McDonald's generation",born in the early 1980s,can stand the intense competition and find a place in the job market.They say this will be a test of both China's job market and its carefree younger generation.
“Do not worry.We'll get whatever we want",they tell each other to ease their own anxiety.
Born in the early days of the country's reform and opening to the outside world,growing up in the market economy,the youngsters,familiar with McDonald's and Mickey Mouse,love to eat hamburgers,and wear foreign brand jeans and T-shirts and worship Bill Gates.Compared with their parents,they enjoy more freedom in looking for a job—and with that freedom come burdens.
These college graduates are seen scouring recruitment information in newspapers and journals,the Internet and job markets nationwide.
Shortly after hotel management major Hao Wenhua,a young woman from Chongqing in Southwest China,failed the recruitment test of a five star hotel in Guilin,South China's Guangxi huang Autonomous Region,She appeared at a job market in Nanning,approximately 300 kilometers from Guilin,looking rather tired.
Many businesses and companies say that they would take on experienced staff rather than the new graduates who are short of the experience of how to succeed in today's fast paced society.

1.第一段在提到China's first McDonald's generation時,后面用born in the early 1980s對其作了解釋,B、C、D三個選項的內(nèi)容雖然都在文中出現(xiàn),但它們?nèi)绻脕斫忉宖irst McDonald generation則有以偏概全的意思。B、C、D并不只是“麥當(dāng)勞第一代"才有的特點。答案為A。
