參考答案【正確答案：D】
文章第三段“They prefer to come and go as opportunity calls them .They can manage to have a job in one place and a family in another.”（他們喜歡隨著機(jī)會(huì)的來臨，來去都自如。他們可以在一地工作，也可以再另外的地方成家）。因而D選項(xiàng)“來去自如”是正確答案。
A項(xiàng)是對(duì)原文的片面理解。“They are energetic participants in a global economy driven by the flow of work, money and ideas”不僅僅是來自金錢的刺激（financial incentives），還有有工作和各種理念。文中只是說道“global
economy” ，沒有提及B選項(xiàng)“global recognition”，C選項(xiàng)“得到常規(guī)工作的機(jī)會(huì)”沒有提及。
