A survey reveals that employees in China say they are not engaged in their jobs. Judging by the survey data, many Chinese workplaces are black holes of misery and despair.
Only 6% of Chinese employees said they are engaged in their jobs, according to a global Gallup survey released this month. China's numbers equal the numbers out of war-weary（厌战的） Iraq.
Workers across all ine levels and industries were surveyed by Gallup in China, defined by Gallup to mean they were psychologically mitted to their jobs and likely to be making positive contributions to their organizations.
Out of 94 countries polled, only six countries scored lower rates of job engagement than China, including Tunisia, Israel and Syria. Unsurprisingly, 0% of Syrians admitted to being engaged at work.
In a related survey, China ranked near the bottom in a poll measuring job satisfaction among 22 Asian countries. Only 49% of Chinese respondents said they were happy in their jobs.
Part of the problem, I suspect, is that very few in China have the luxury to pursue a career that truly interests them.
Even university graduates often feel they have no choice but to choose the positions with the government or state-run enterprises, since those jobs are thought to be stable.
That makes those who are happy at work in China a rare find indeed.

解析：文章介绍一项调查结果，大多数中国人对工作不是很投入，原因可能是因为迫于生活的压力，中国人往往选择的职业不是自己真正感兴趣的，所以不能全身心的投入。
【小题1】推理题：从第四段的句子：Unsurprisingly, 0% of Syrians admitted to being engaged at work.可以推断出叙利亚的人对工作不投入，选A。
【小题2】猜词题：这句话的意思是中国的学生很少有luxury去追求自己真正感兴趣的工作的，下面一段说他们为了稳定去做公务员，由此可以推断出这里的luxury是“勇气”的意思，选D
【小题3】推理题：从倒数第三段的句子：Part of the problem, I suspect, is that very few in China have the luxury to pursue a career that truly interests them.可以推断出很多中国人对工作不投入是因为他们对工作不感兴趣，选A
【小题4】推理题：从倒数第二段的句子：Even university graduates often feel they have no choice but to choose the positions with the government or state-run enterprises, since those jobs are thought to be stable.可知现在的大学毕业生更喜欢找稳定的公务员的工作，选B。
