In 2007, five young people in the American state of Massachusetts developed an idea. The team knew that the world is filled with mobile phones. About eighty percent of all people are said to live within reach of a wireless telephone signal.
The idea was to use mobile phones and the Internet to connect job seekers with employers. The young people wrote a business plan and formed a company called Assured Labor.
Assured Labor won a development competition at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology（MIT）. Three of the founders were graduate students there.
Assured Labor is an electronic marketplace. It has two parts. One is for the United States. That operation was launched in January in Boston. It links people with employers offering temporary jobs.
The other arm of the business is for developing markets. That operation is meant to help people get more permanent jobs. A representative is currently building partnerships with universities and international companies in Central America.
Assured Labor’s president, David Reich, says the companies now place job advertisements on radio or in newspapers. Some even drive around in cars with loudspeakers announcing that jobs are available. He says the companies are interested in having more modern hiring practices.
Through Assured Labor, companies will list open positions on the Internet. People who think they could do the job could reply by text message or on their cell phones.
This is how the system works in Boston:
The jobs available include house cleaning, dog walking and home repair. People who want their house cleaned, for example, can look online at a list of twenty housekeepers. The list tells what services they offer and how much they want to be paid. People need two letters praising their work to get on the list of service providers.
The employer chooses workers they would like to hire. The company then sends the workers a text or e-mail message so they can respond quickly to an offer.
After a job is completed, the employer and employee rate each other. The rating is kept for future use. Assured Labor is not charging anyone right now, but the plan is to have employers pay for the service.

查看习题详情和答案>>In recent years, especially during the 1960s, there was much discussion about “the brain drain（排干，流失）,” which dealt with the problem of students and learned people who left their own countries for other countries that offered better chances for study, research, and employment. For example, according to a report from U.N., between 1962 and 1966 more than 50 percent of all engineering graduates of Iran and 14 percent of Iranian scientists left their country for work abroad. Over 30 percent of Chilean engineers and 15 percent of Turkish physicians also went to work in other countries. Probably the greatest brain drain occurred among young scientists who had gone abroad to study. Many of them had planned to return to their countries to teach but chose to remain in more industrialized nations where they were able to continue their work and their research in fields in which there were no job possibilities at home. The countries that attracted most of these scientists were the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, Canada, and Australia.
Recent studies show that the brain drain to the United States may be decreasing. Many foreign scientists are going home again, and in some cases American scientists are leaving the United States for employment in other countries. The main reasons are that good jobs are becoming fewer here, money for national research has been sharply cut, and university fellowships reduced too. However, in the field of medicine the drain to the United States still goes on. Today more than one of every five American doctors is foreign – born, and several thousand foreign doctors immigrate to the United States each year. Over eighty countries have asked the State Department to send students who are skilled in important fields such as medicine back home when their study programs are over.
43．Which of the following is not the reason for “the brain drain”?
A．Better chances of study B．Better research condition
C．Good job possibility D．Good housing
44．The brain drain to the United States may be decreasing mainly because .
A．many foreign scientists are ordered to return to their motherlands
|
C．they don’t need any foreign scientists now
D．the universities refuse to provide money for the foreign scientists
45．How many American doctors are foreign – born?
A．More than 20 percent B．About half of them
C．Several thousand D．About 15 percent
46．Which is the best title for this passage?
A．How to seek a job in the USA B．Doctors’ immigration to the USA
C．The brain drain D．A strange case
