問題詳情：

      Imagine that you're looking at your company-issued smartphone and you notice an e-mail from

Linkedin: "These companies are looking for candidates like you!” You aren't necessarily searching

for a job, but you're always open to opportunities, so out of curiosity, you click on the link. A few

minutes later your boss appears at your desk. "We've noticed that you're spending more time on

Linkedin lately, so I want to talk with you about your career and whether you're happy here,” she

says. Uh-oh.

      It's an awkward scene. Attrition(損耗) has always been expensive for companies, but in many

industries the cost of losing good workers is rising, owing to tight labor markets. Thus companies are

intensifying(增強) their efforts to predict which workers are at high risk of leaving so that managers

can try to stop them. Tactics(策略) range from electronic monitor to sophisticated(複雜的) analyses

of employees' social media lives.

    Some of this work may be a reason to let employees to quit. In general, people leave their

jobs because they don't like their boss, don't see opportunities for promotion or growth, or are offered

 a higher pay; these reasons have held steady for years.

    New research conducted by CEB, a Washington-based technology company, looks not just at

why workers quit but also at when. "We've learned that what really affects people is their sense of

how they're doing compared with other people in their peer group, or with where they thought they

would be at a certain point in life," says Brian Kropp, who heads CEB's HR practice. ';We've learned

to focus on moments that allow people to make these comparisons."

    Technology also provides clues about which star employees might be eyeing the exit. Companies

can tell whether employees usmg work computers or phones are spending time on (or even just

 opening e-mails from) career websites, and research shows that more firms are paying attention to

these things. Large companies have also begun tracking badge swipes(瀏覽痕跡）employees' use of

 an ID to enter and exit the building or the parking garage-to identify patterns that suggest a worker

may be interviewing for a job.

  32. From the first paragraph, we can infer Linkedln is

    A. an e-mail    B.a job from the Internet

  34. According to the research by CEB, which of the following might be the most probable reason

  for workers to quit their jobs?

    A. They don't like their bosses.    B. Workers are always doing comparisons.

    C. Not seeing opportunities for promotion.    D. To find a higher-paid job.

  35. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
