Job sharing differs from conventional 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 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, women constitute the bulk of job sharers. A survey carried out in 1988 by Britain's Equal Opportunities Commission revealed 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.
"Employee commitment" in Paragraph 2 refers to the employee's______.
A．qualification
B．loyalty
C．experience
D．achievement

Then there was Tom who was always regarded as "average. " However, he set his goals high, and then found a way to achieve his goal. Today he owns a million-dollar company.
Researchers have found that school performance is little related to job competence. Qualities like "steady and dependable" and "practical and organized" are more important.
"You don't need talent to succeed" , insist some experts. "All you need is a big pot of glue (胶水). You put some on your chair, you sit down, and you stick to every project until you've done the best you can do. "Average achievers stay glued to their chairs and postpone pleasure so they can receive future benefits. Many fast-trackers, on the other hand, expect too much too soon. When rewards don't materialize instantly, they may become disappointed and unhappy.

Text 2
You' re busy filling out the application form. for a position you really need; let' s assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree.
Isn't it tempting to lie just a little, to claim on the form. that your diploma represents a Harvard degree？ Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University？ More and more people are turning to utter deception like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers, for personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well - known university. Registrars at most well - known colleges say they deal with deceitful claims like these at the rate of about one per week.
Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms, then, if it turns out that an applicant is lying, most colleges are reluctant to accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League school calls them "impostors"; another refers to them as "special cases" one well -known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says that these claims are made by "no such people."
To avoid outright lies, some job -seekers claim that they "attended" or "were associated with" a college or university. After carefully checking, a personnel officer may discover that "attending" means being dismissed after one semester. It may be that "being associated with" a college means that the job seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the century—that' s when they began keeping records, anyhow.
If you don' t want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a phony diploma. One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of nonexistent colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from "Smoot State University." The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the "University of Purdue." As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper.
26. The main idea of this passage is that ______.
A) employers are checking more closely on applicants now
B) lying about college degrees has become a widespread problem
C) college degrees can now be purchased easily
D) employers are no longer interested in college degrees

第10题
There are more choices about children, too. Many working wives can decide whether and when, if they want, to have children. And they don't want to give up work even if they have a child.
Perhaps the most important difference today is that so many women work even after they get married.Today most women in Britain without a job either have very young children or are very old.Over half of all married women now have a job, and women as a whole make up over one third of the British work force. This has changed marriage; when people get married, the husband and wife have very different role from, say, fifty years ago. If both husband and wife work, the woman will expect to be equal with her husband.For example, many young husbands are now ready to take their share in doing the housework and looking after the children. And the husband no longer expects to make all the important decisions himself. His wife will, for example, share in decision about money. In some cases the husband wants to stay at home and take care of the children, but usually it is because he cannot find a job.In this case, the wife makes the money for the family, and takes on the traditional male role.

A、marriage is very important in a woman's life

2. In the British work force today,（）.
A、over one third is formed of women
B、more than half is formed of married women
