If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major classmates, you may have had the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech “Information Age” demands people who are flexible(靈活的) and who have good communication skills.

   There are many social science majors in large companies who fill important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suited for change, which is the leading feature(特點) of the kind of high-speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.

   Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as “very important”, by 92 percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.

   Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don’t regret their choice of study.

By saying that “you may have had the last laugh” in the first paragraph, the author means that you may have____.

A. shared the jokes with computer majors        B. earned as much as computer majors

C. found jobs more easily than computer majors   D. stopped joking about computer majors

Compared with graduates of other subjects, social science graduates ___.

   A. are ready to change when situations change      B. are better able to deal with difficulties

   C. are equally good at computer skills       D. are likely to give others pressure

The underlined word “l(fā)and” in the last paragraph probably means ___.

   A. keep for some time   B. successfully get   C. immediately start   D. lose regretfully

According to the text, what has made it easy for social science graduates to find jobs?

   A. Willingness to take low-paid jobs.         B. Readiness to gain high-tech knowledge.

   C. Skills in expressing themselves.           D. Part-time work experience.
