22、_填空项 1:_No longer do most of Europes undergraduates want to dirty their hands producing things or providing services to customers. 1A hefty annual study of students at universities specializing in business education and science in 13 European countries found that McKinsey Andersen Consulting and the

25、 6Ansgar Kinkel, who runs the division of Kienbaum, Germanys biggest compensation and recruitment consultancy, which specializes in recruiting young high-fliers, thinks that graduates are looking for “an international firm with an open culture“. They are swayed too, by a big brand name. 7 8After all
26、, as Europes birth death takes full effect, the pool of young graduates will shrink and the fight to recruit them will grow tougher. A.

27、C. Among youngsters on business coursed, one in five put McKinsey in their top-of-the-pops. D. In future, one of the big returns to a strong brand may be its effects on graduate recruitment. E. All told, the 20 most popular employers in Europe include half a dozen consultancies. F. Why do Europes yo
