IV阅读理解 32%

If you are a 30-plus plain Jane, or if you are not a local fresh graduate, get ready for the embarrassment(尴尬) in the job market. And you are just one of the millions to face discrimination(歧视).

About 85 percent of the 3,424 people covered by a survey in 10 big cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, said discrimination in work and employment(就业) did exist. Also, the survey results given on Friday showed that 58 percent thought the problem to be severe(严重).

Appearance, height and gender are the most discriminative categories(范畴), the Beijing Morning Post reported.

Some requirements could be funny. The newspaper said Beijing citizen Zhang Meng, who had more than 10 years’ driving experience, failed to get a job because his possible employers considered his name to be “unlucky”.

“Meng”, they said, literally(字面上)means “rush” in Chinese, which made him more accident prone(倾向)than others.

Employers discriminate against people from certain regions or areas, such as Central China’s Henan Province, because of the bad impression they have about them. Beijing citizens, too, have their share of bad luck because they are generally considered lazy.

Cai Dingjian, a professor from China University of Political Science and Law, who headed the survey, said such requirements, which are not connected with the job itself, violate(侵犯)people’s equal right to look for a career. “It violates basic human rights,” he said to the newspaper.

Cai said governments should pay attention to such discriminations because they exist not only in companies, but are also practiced by them. One example is that civil servants(公务员) are usually required to have a pleasant personality.

Director of the labour law committee under the All China Lawyers Association

Jiang Junlu said the lack of related laws was at the root of all discriminations.
