问题 Career with a Uniform
Want to be the next Xu Sanduo? The TV drama Soldiers' Sortie (突击) (Shibing Tuji) might have caused millions of young people to dream of putting on an army uniform and going to camp.
In fact, a large number of students graduating might consider doing just that. Last month, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) announced that there will be 120,000 job openings this year for college graduates. So, one out of every 50 graduates has a chance if he or she would like to march down to the local recruiting office. Anyone enlisting will get preferential treatment in tuition compensation and in job opportunities.
This decision comes against a backdrop of bad employment news and a cooling economy.This year's recruitment quota outnumbers last year's 39,000 by about three-fold.
"It's important to pull in fresh, talented people who can deal with the new equipment and a high-tech military to modernize the nation's defense," said Bai Zixing, a senior officer in the PLA.
The age limit for college recruits has been raised to 24, and there's one more important policy change: graduates who have already volunteered to sign up can quit if they change their minds after finding another job before November, the deadline for enlistment. This gives graduates an extra choice in starting a career.
The following is a list of preferential things that college graduates qualify for if they join the army:
A one-time recruitment payment of up to 24,000 yuan, to cover four years of college tuition and loans (this has to be returned if the person is forced to leave the army before completing the service contract).
Priority in promotions and in getting admitted to military academies.
Anyone with a bachelor's degree or above and a good performance record can be promoted to the rank of officer directly, if they meet certain other criteria. An ordinary soldier may need a couple of years longer to get there.
There are no restrictions on things like going abroad after the service period, unless one deals with confidential work in the army.

Why does the author think that the grads are given an extra chance in starting a career?()
A.The one-time recruitment payment offered by the PL

选项 A may ease the grads' economic burden.
B.The grads who join the army have more chances to further their study after completing their service.
C.Graduates who have signed up can give up before finishing enlistment if finding more suitable job.
D.No restrictions are made on things like going abroad after the service period.

答案C

解析细节题。题干:为什么作者认为大学生在就业选择被给予了额外的机会?利用题干关键词extra chance可以定位到文章第五段,意为“招聘大学生的年龄限制放宽到24岁,而且有个重要的政策转变,那就是如果大学毕业生在1 1月征兵工作结束前找到其他更理想的工作,仍然可以改变主意,重新选择职业。这就给为他们提供了多一次选择的机会。”,由此可知选项C“大学生可以改变主意,如果他们在征兵工作结束前找到其他更合适的工作”为正确答案。
