Thousands of villages in the developing ...

 

Thousands of villages in the developing world have no telephones. They have no money to build telephone systems. A new kind of technology may help change this situation. I t reduces the cost of building and using telephone systems.

Traditional systems use wires to carry electrical signals from one telephone to another. The wires often cost much more than telephones. The new system is based on radio communication. Each telephone sends and receives signals through the air, but not through the wires. This reduces the cost greatly. The radio telephone gets their power from the sun.

The telephone turns off by itself if the level of power in the battery falls too low. This prevents damage to the system. Each radio telephone is connected to a computer microprocessor. It rewards how many calls are sent and received. It controls the power supply.

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.

46. Zhang Meng failed to get a job because __________.

A. he had made more mistakes than others

B. he lacked driving experience

C. he was considered to have an unlucky name

D. he couldn’t find a pleasant employer

47. What is people’s response to discrimination in job market?

A. They think it is unfair but necessary due to the large population of China.

B. It does exist in certain regions, but is not so serious.

C. Something must be done to stop it by governments.

D. It is a local problem and isn’t worth much concern.

48. What can be an effective way to fight against discrimination according to the passage?

A. To fine companies which practice discrimination.

B. To make laws related to discrimination.

C. To stop more people moving into cities.

D. To train people those who are poor in skills.

49. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Discrimination not only exists in companies, but also in governments.

B. Employers nowadays concern more about appearance, height and gender.

C. People in Beijing will never worry about experiencing discrimination.

D. Requirements connected with the job itself should have been put in the first place.
