3、根据以下资料，回答题：
        Graduating seniors may face higher risk for job burnout (筋疲力尽，枯竭．than their parents' generation, say business and career experts.
        One of those grads,22-year-old Ruth Igielnik, kicked off her career just　weeks after graduating from the University of Maryland.
        Igielnik should be familiar with stretching her boundaries. She admits classes were an "after thought" during the past year because she toiled from two to five hours every school night as student overseer of 300campus groups.
        But new grads in entry-level career jobs should resist early urges to sacrifice personal time in exchange for a faster climb to the top, warns career consultant Alexandra Levit, specializing in so-called millennials, the generation born from about 1980 to 1995. "You have to go out of your way to safeguard your time, but you have to go about it more subtly," she says. "It you sacrifice too much of your personal life at the start, you risk having a stressful, unbalanced life that's permanent. "
        in the next two to four years，retiring manager baby boomers will trigger a．wave of new openings for high-responsibility jobs。says Levit。A lot of those jobs will be filled by less-experienced workers-many’of them miUennials．“They're going to be given the responsibility they crave—because there’s No one else to take it．”Levit says．“Their sense of entitlement and their over—ambition are going to create a lot of stress for them．”
        A friend of Igieinik's,Merak Fine。is taking a few weeks off before joining the work：force as a legal assist{mt at a small law firm．Fine jokes that—after a heavy class schedule and all intense internship school has left her burned out before she’s even begun her career．So she worries that her career might steal time she should spend with friends and family．
        Compared the previous generations，many millennials are protesting again．st the idea that work is life.They’re intent on finding jobs that are meaningful both personally and to the community and the Environment．
        “The things that this generation is asking for--flexibility，balance，opportunities-are all things that
Previous generations wilted，”says Dan Black，top campus recruiter at Ernst＆Young． “But they feel much more embolden,erned(使勇敢)to ask for these things．They know they’re going to be a bigger part of the work force．”
When at school during the past year。Eightieth
A．was keen on socializing
B．had to work every night
C．was the leader of Student Union
D．spent most of her time studying

        Instinctively, the first thing we want to know about a disease is whether it is going to kill us. Twenty-five years ago, tiffs was the only question about AIDS we couJd anwer with any certainty; now, it is the only question we really camaot answer well at all.
By now, those of us in the AIDS business long term have cared for thousands of patients. No one with that kind of personal experience can doubt for a moment the deadly potential of H. I. V. or the life-saving capabilities of the drugs developed against it. But there are also now htmdreds of footnotes and exceptions and modifications to those two facts that make the big picture ever murkier (扑朔迷离).
        We have patients scattered at every possible point: men and women who cruise on their medications with no problems at all, and those who never become stable on them and die of AIDS; those who refuse them until it is too late, and those who never need them at all; those who leave AIDS far behind only to die from lung cancer or breast cancer or liver failure, and those few who are killed by the medications themelves.
        So, when we welcome a new patient into our world, one whose fated place in this world is still unclear, and that patient asks us, as most do, whether this illness is going to kill him or not, it often takes a bit of mental stammering (口吃 ) before we hazard an answer,Now, a complete rundown of all the news from the front would take hours. The statistics change almost; hourly as new treatments appear. It is all too cold, too mathematical, too scary to dump on the head of a sick, frightened person. So we simplify. "We have good treatments now,  we say. "You should do fine. "
Once, not so long ago, we were working in another universe.Now we have simply rejoined the carnival ( 嘉年华) of modern medicine, noisy and encouraging, confusing and contradictory, fueled by the eternal balancing of benefits and risks.
        You can.win big, and why shouldn't you, with the usual fall-safe combination of luck and money. You have our very best hopes, so step right up: we sell big miracles but, offer no guarantees.
What does the author say about AIDS?
A．It is definitely deadly twenty-five years ago.
B．The patients want to know everything about it.
C．We can answer anything about it with certainty now.
D．We could not answer questions about it well before.
