LIFE IN THE HARSH JOB MARKET

А. 

A report by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) suggests that nearly half of all firms won’t be looking to hire university graduates or school-leavers in the months ahead. The CIPD found that only one in five companies planned to hire 16-year-olds due to leave school. The total unemployment rate in the UK has risen steeply in recent months. It now stands at above two million for the first time in years. This means financial problems and stiffer competition for jobs. Consequently, young people – who generally enter the job market with little or no work experience – may find it even harder to convince employers to take them on. 

В. 

Graduates and school-leavers will undoubtedly have to work harder to get themselves into employment. Of those who graduated last year, 5.5% were believed to be unemployed six months later. A study by graduate recruitment researchers High Fliers found that private banking, investment funds and insurance companies were particularly badly affected by the recession. In recent years this sector was a key growth area for jobs, but this year graduate recruitment is expected to halve. However, there are countries round the world not hit by recession, which might offer employment opportunities or a chance to gain valuable experience through voluntary work. So graduates and school-leavers shouldn’t constrain themselves to thinking only about the UK. 

С. 

The Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS) has issued a ‘Life after Graduation’ booklet addressed to all graduates in England. It offers plenty of information on a range of options such as teaching, further study and volunteering. Apart from grants, already available for young people, DIUS is increasing the number of career development loans on offer. The department has also set up a “graduate talent pool” which will link employers with graduates.

MISSING DRIVER

McAra had caught the last ferry from Woods Hole, Massachusetts, to Martha’s Vineyard two Sundays earlier. I worked out afterwards it must have been January the twelfth. It was uncertain whether the ferry would sail at all. A gale had been blowing since mid-afternoon and the last few crossings had been cancelled. 5.1. He parked below deck and then went upstairs to get some air. No one saw him alive again.

The crossing to the island usually takes forty-five minutes, but on this particular night the weather slowed the voyage considerably. It was nearly eleven when the ferry made land at Vineyard Haven and the cars started up – all except one: a brand new tan-coloured Ford Escape SUV. 5.2. When he still didn’t show up, the crew tried the doors, which turned out to be unlocked, and freewheeled the big Ford out of the ferry.

Afterwards they searched the ship with care: stairwells, bar, toilets, even the lifeboats but there was no trace of the driver. 5.3. That was when an official of the Massachusetts Steamship Authority finally contacted the Coast Guard station in Falmouth to report a possible man overboard.

A police check on the Ford’s licence plate revealed it to be registered to one Martin S. Rhinehart of New York City, although Mr. Rhinehart was eventually tracked down to his ranch in California. When the police called him there, he admitted that the Ford belonged to him. He kept it at his house on Martha’s Vineyard for the use of himself and his guests in the summer. He also confirmed that, despite the time of year, a group of guests were staying there at the moment. 5.4. Half an hour later she rang back to say that someone was indeed missing, a person by the name of McAra.

adapted from The Ghost by Robert Harris
A. The captain made a loudspeaker appeal for the owner to return to his vehicle, as he was blocking the drivers behind him.
B. There was nothing now that could be done until first light, so he decided to leave the ferry and wait in the bar.
C. He said he would get his assistant to call the house and find out if any of them had borrowed the car.
D. They called the terminal at Woods Hole to check if anyone had disembarked before the boat sailed or had perhaps been accidentally left behind – again: nothing.
E. But towards nine o’clock the wind eased slightly and the master decided it was safe to set off. The boat was crowded; McAra was lucky to get a space for his car.

Tekst 1.
CLIMBING SKYSCRAPERS

“I couldn’t get here sooner, Peak,” Mom said. “With the twins, and the attorneys, and...”

“Never mind,” I interrupted.

Juvenile Detention Center was an hour-and-a-half drive from our house. In addition to everything else, Mom worked full-time at the bookstore she owned. Still, I would have liked to have seen her sooner. She walked over to me and looked at the stitches on my face.

“Ugly,” she said.

“Thanks.”

She started pacing.

“How are the twins?”

“They haven’t stopped crying since you got arrested.”

I felt as if someone had punched me in the stomach. It was one thing to upset my mom, but I didn’t like upsetting Patrice and Paula. “Two peas in a pod,” as Mom and Rolf (my stepfather) called them.

“You’ve really done it this time, Peak. Six skyscrapers! They’re going to get you. Rolf got your first trial in the court delayed, and tried for a second delay hoping that the publicity would die down, but after last night that’s all in the media.”

“Wait,” I said. “What happened last night?”

“You didn’t hear?”

I shook my head.

“A boy fell from the Flatiron Building. He’s in hospital.”

I stared at her.

“What does that have...”

“To do with you?” she yelled. “It’s because of you, Peak. The boy had all your news articles pinned up in his bedroom. He’d never been climbing in his entire life, which explains why he only made it up seventy-five feet. But the fall was enough to nearly kill him, and enough to keep you in jail for the next three years.”

“What do you mean ‘three years’?”

“That’s when you’ll be eighteen.”

I started pacing now. All I did was climb the Woolworth Building. I didn’t boast about it or post it on the Internet. It was only my way of ... Well, I didn’t know exactly why I had done it. I was sorry for the other kid, but it wasn’t my fault.

“Did you tell Dad?” I asked, meaning my real dad, not Rolf.

This made her laugh harshly.

“He’s in Nepal. I left him a message with a Sherpa who barely spoke a word of English.”

She took a deep breath.

“Look, I’ve got to go. Rolf and I are meeting with the attorneys.”

“Attorneys?” I hoped Rolf would be my attorney.

“Two of them. Rolf can’t represent you. He’s your stepfather.

Conflict of interest.”

“Do you think...?”

Her whole demeanor changed when she noticed how scared I was. She softened and her eyes filled with tears.

“I hope so, Peak,” she said quietly. “But I’m not optimistic. The city wants to make an example out of you.” She turned away and wiped her eyes.

RACING TO THE TOP

Stair-climbing races have been around since 1977, when 15 competitors ran up 86 floors in the Empire State Building. In the past few years the activity has exploded. Last year there were more than 200 races with about 105,000 participants.

But what is so appealing about stair-climbing? It seems that many people want extreme fitness challenges. “I guess we are tired of the same old workouts and want to be challenged in new and interesting ways,” says JR Haines, a personal trainer, “It seems that running on the treadmill just might not be doing it for people anymore.” The racers are certainly not doing it for the scenery because there isn’t any. Stairwells have little, if any, ventilation, so fresh air is not a big draw, either. And because most of the events are staged as fundraisers, there aren’t any prizes. It’s rather the other way round. In the great majority of events in order to take part runners have to make donations to the sponsoring charities as part of their entry fees. Many people participate in them for fun, but surveys show that the races are increasingly attracting participants who are there primarily to compete and win at all costs. In fact, stair-climbing reached something of a dubious milestone when the winner of a charity event in Los Angeles was disqualified after security cameras caught him riding an elevator part of the way.

Challenging yourself is a major part of the races’ appeal, particularly for those runners who want to lose weight. Research shows that you burn more calories with 10 minutes of stair-climbing than with 10 minutes of jogging because you’re carrying your body weight vertically. “It’s high intensity workout,” one of the experts said, “It’s just much easier and quicker to lose weight in this way.”

Speed stair-climbing races are not an endeavor for people who don’t like pushing themselves. The Empire State Building climb still uses a massed start. However, more and more often races use computer chips to time staggered starts, with racers leaving the starting line at 5 or 10-second intervals. As a result of this procedure, racers have no way of knowing how they are doing compared with their competitors and the stairwell gets eerily quiet as each climber focuses on the next flight of stairs.

HAVING AN EASY-TO-SAY NAME HELPS YOU GET PROMOTED
A team of Australian researchers 7.1. the way names can influence a person’s impressions and decision making.
The researchers looked at dozens of surnames from different nationalities, mainly from Anglo-Saxon, Asian, and European backgrounds. They concluded that 7.2. a person’s name was to say, the quicker they were promoted.
Dr Laham, who led the study, said people with simple names were generally judged more positively. “The effect is not so much 7.3. the length of a name or how foreign-sounding or unusual it is, but rather how easy it is to pronounce,” he said.
Names such as Sherman, Jenkins, Benson and O’Sullivan 7.4. among the easiest to pronounce, while Farquharson and European names such as Leszczynska were found to be a huge challenge. The researchers concluded that a name that your friends and peers did not stumble over was the key to success.
