Job sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one full-time job. The people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-time worker. If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50 percent of the job’s wages, its holidays and its other benefits.

  Job sharing differs from conventional(常規(guī)的) part-time work in that it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment.

  Job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people. Job sharing by contrast, is not designed to address the growing number of unemployed people. Job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities.

  As would be expected, most job sharers are women. A survey carried out in 1988 by Britain’s Equal Opportunities Commission showed that 78 per cent of sharers were female, the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age. Subsequent studies have come up with similar results. Many of these women were re-entering the job market after having had children, but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status. Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence.  

   The necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional one-position jobs. However, to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a position. Moreover, there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interesting ones. In sum, for a position to be job-shared well, the two individuals must be well matched and must treat each other as equals.

44. In what way is work sharing different from job sharing?

A. Work sharing requires more working hours.

B. Work sharing is aimed at creating more jobs.

C. Work sharing provides a more satisfactory salary.

D. Work sharing depends on the employer’s decision.

45. According to paragraph4, young mothers preferred job sharing to conventional part-time work mainly because______.

A. they sought higher social status

B. they were over ideal working ages

C. they had difficulty finding full-time jobs

D. they had to take care of both work and family

46. In job sharing the partners should ______.

A. enjoy equal social status

B. have similar work experience

C. keep in touch with each other

D. know each other very well

Wind , water, fire and ice-these powerful natural forces have shaped the land of America in the past. They are still changing it today.

  The Colorado River slowly cut down through stone to make the Grand Canyon(大峽谷).

  Long ago, ice sheets cut Yosemite Valley and the Great Lakes, and glaciers(冰川) are still on the move in Alaska.

  Wind and rain storm hit the land from time to time. Fires sometimes burn down forests and destroy the homes of wild animals. This happened in Yellowstone Park in 1988.

  Dead volcanic mountains such as Haleakala on Maui and Carter Lakein Oregon are beautiful to look at. But there are several active volcanoes in the US, especially along the Pacific Coast. There are also many earthquakes in this area. Scientists can do nothing to control earthquakes or volcanoes. This was shown clearly on May 18, 1980. At 8:32 that morning, Mount St Helens in Washington state broke out. The top of the mountain was blown off.

   Over 60 people –campers, scientists, journalists, forest workers—were killed. Hundreds of square miles of forests were knocked down. In towns over 100 miles away, day suddenly became night. An ash cloud hid the sun for many hours. Towns and fields in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho were covered with dirty gray ash.

  Scientists knew that Mt St Helens might erupt(爆發(fā)) soon. But no one could say when. And no one expected the terrible strength of the eruption. Many people were surprised and unready. Harry R. Truman, 84, owned a small hotel in Mt St Helens. Scientists had asked people to move away because the volcano was becoming dangerous.

  But Harry Truman would not leave his home. Now it is covered with many feet of dirty ash. A small cross stands above the place where Harry probably died. Perhaps it is better that he did not see the destruction of Mt St Helens, the once beautiful lake, and the forests.

  But slowly, life is returning to the dead area around the mountain. Grass and small plants are beginning to grow again. Deer and birds have been seen. The land will never be the same as it once was. Perhaps Mt St Helens will erupt again. But this is all part of nature’s pattern of change, and man has little power to control it.

40. Choose the best title for this passage.

A.     Wind, water, fire and ice

B.     Volcano’s beauty and danger

C.     The power of nature

D.     Natural force shape beautiful land of America

41. After the eruption of volcano, what makes the sky turn dark?

A.     The smoke  B. The clouds.   C. The fog.  D. The ash.

42. The underlined word “it” means______.

A.     The body of old Harry

B.     The location of Harry’s home

C.     The opening on top of Mt St Helens

D.     The place where Harry probably died

43. We can infer from this article that ______.

A.     Washington and Oregon are neighboring states

B.     Colorado River runs through Yosemite Valley

C.     The eruption of Mt St Helens also caused trouble with the Yellowstone Park

D.     Scientists never knew Mt St Helens was active

   What can help you make a fortune in the future? Graduating from a top university might not be enough. A new study from the University of Essex in Britain has shown that the more friends you have in school, the more money you’ll earn later.

The idea that popularity could have a serious impact on one’s earning potential shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily as powerful as talent and hard work.

“If a person has lots of friends, it means that he or she has the ability to get along with others in all kinds of different situations,” said Xu Yanchun, 17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with the recent finding. “Also, friends always help each other. They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you occasionally feel depressed,” said Xu. She believed that all this helps you “earn a higher salary”.

Maybe that’s why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendalholism(交友狂癥). A woman even complained that the networking website Facebook’s 5,000-friend limit was too low for her large reserve of social contacts.

But what does a friend mean? Should friends be regarded as a form of currency?

“Call me uncool, but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing. It seems, however, that this is no longer the definition of ‘friend’,” said Meghan Daum, who works with the Los Angeles Times in the US.

36.The new study from the University of Essex in Britain shows that _______.

A.     if you have more friends you will not live happily

B.     the more friends you have in school, the more money you’ll earn in your late life

C.     the less friends you have, the poor lives you will live

D.     friends can make more money for you

37. According to Xu Yanchun, when you have lots of friends, it means________.

A.     you have the ability to earn more money

B.     you will not feel lonely

C.     you are quite content with your life

D.     you have the ability to get along with others in various situations

38.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A.     The passage mainly tells us something about the friendship.

B.     Friendship plays a more important part in our daily life than anything else.

C.     Friends are currency.

D.     Friends give you success.

39.We can learn from the passage that _______.

A.     if you have more friends, you can make a fortune in the future

B.     graduating from college means that you can make a fortune in the future

C.     friends mean a form of currency

D.     friends can make you wider social circle and make you feel better when you feel depressed
