Schools in the 2010’s will be working together with businessmen and offices, and factories will be full of
schoolchildren and teachers. Since the reforms of the nineteenth century which got children out of factories, the
British have disliked mixing learning with commerce. But the past ten years of high youth unemployment rate
have encouraged most schools to create new links with employers to provide their pupils with more marketable
skills. And in the next ten years, when youth labor will become scarce rather than plentiful, many employers not
yet working with schools will be encouraged to do so.
【題組】18. In the past decade, the British schools have taken their pupils to factories because .
(A) youth labor is plentiful
(B) the employers encourage them to do so
(C) they have had to prepare their students for employment
(D) the British think it’s good for their children to work there
