unit-1-3---原文+翻译-汇总Unit1Wanted：Blue-Collar Workers招聘蓝领工人1To many, America’s industrial heartland is a place that has too little work to offer its residents. But things look very different to Karen Wright, the CEO of Ariel Corporation in Ohio. Wright’s biggest problem isn’t a lack of work;it’s a lack of skilled workers. “We havea very skilled workforce, but they aregetting older,” says Wright. “I don’t know where we are going to find replacements.”对于很多人来说，美国的工业中心地带并不能给那里的居民提供许多就业岗位。

但是，在卡伦-赖特看来，事情并非如此。

作为俄亥俄州阿里尔公司的首席执行官，赖特面临的最大问题并不是缺乏就业岗位，而是缺乏熟练技术工人。

“我们有一支非常熟练的劳动力队伍，但他们的年纪class is to increase its chances to get higher education.伴随工业的复苏是对熟练工人的需求的不断上升。

工业技能的缺乏是由美国的教育体系和世界经济需求之间的巨大差距所导致的。

多年来，美国的民众一直被灌输一种想法，即美国的未来是建立在诸如法律这样的高端服务或编写软件和系统设计这样的“创造性”行业之上的。

这就使得许多聪颖的学生以为，只有增加接受高等教育的机会，才是跻身中产阶级的唯一出路。

5 Some manufacturers think the shortage of skilled workers results from the decline of vocational education. Today’s young people often do not regard craft work —plumbing, masonry, and carpentry, for instance — as popular, because they’ve been instructed to enter into college. “People go to college not because they want to but because their parents tell them that’s the thing todo,” says Jeff Kirk, manager of human relations at a company in Ohio. “Kids need to better know that much of what they learn in school is not really needed in the workplace. They don’t realize a pipefitter makes three times as much as a social worker.”一些制造商认为技术工人的短缺源于职业教育的衰落。

上教版必修三Unit1The mediaReading AJournalists on the jobSenior high school students in Shanghai recently had the opportunity to participate in the annual Career Day,where they got to follow a mentor for a day.In this way,students can see what their mentors do at work.This kind of direct experience of real workplaces can benefit students a lot.It may help them choose a future career.It may also open their eyes to new opportunities or jobs that they’ve never considered before.The students were also required to interview their mentors.One of the students was interested in journalism,and she has shared her interview recording with us.What makes a good journalist?There isn’t just one skill or quality that makes someone a good journalist.But I can think of two things that most journalists have in common:they are curious,and they love language. Journalists look around and always ask who,what,why,where and when.Then they try to tell others what they find out.Would all writers make good journalists?No,I wouldn’t say that.Writing a news article is not like writing a book.For one thing, journalists need to write in a clear way,using as few words as possible.There is always a limit on the number of words a journalist can write,so they need to focus on the key points.If you want to be a journalist,you ought to start developing this important skill.How do you spot a good news story?News is about what is happening right now,so good journalists keep up with current events. By paying attention to what’s going on,and keeping you eyes and ears open at all times,you always come across things worth reporting.Do journalists always write true news stories?They should.If the story’s not entirely true,then it isn’t news—it’s fiction.This means journalists need to be good at checking up on facts and making sure their information is true.If our articles contain errors,our readers won’t trust us.We need to find good sources of information and collect all the facts.Should news stories appeal to the readers’emotions?I think you could say that.What is the use of reporting things that your readers don’t care about?However,as journalists,we need to write with care and tell news stories in an objective way. We need to write with care and tell news stories in an objective way.We also need to present the facts in a fair way that benefits our readers.What is challenging about working as a journalist?The biggest challenge is probably time.A journalist has to find a good story,collect all the important information and report it before the news gets old.So,if you work as a journalist,you have to be responsible.You can’t be late for interviews,and you can’t turn in your reports late. Journalists always work under time pressure.What makes the work of a journalist valuable?My work has personal value for me when I get to answer a question that’s been on my mind.And I love when I get a chance to share that answer with others,especially when it helps people improve their lives.I feel like I’ve done a good job then.This is not just a job I do to get paid—I do it because I believe it has purpose.在职记者上海的高中生最近有机会参加一年一度的职业日，在那里他们可以跟随导师进行一天的学习。
