2014高考英语阅读理解抓分练习题（55）及答案 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 jobs wages, its holidays and its other benefits. job sharing differs from conventional(常规的) 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 britains 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. 9. 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 employers decision.10. according to paragraph4, young mothers preferred job sharing to conventional part-time work mainly because_.a. they sought higher social statusb. they were over ideal working agesc. they had difficulty finding full-time jobsd. they had to take care of both work and family11. in job sharing the partners should _.a. enjoy equal social statusb. have similar work experiencec. keep in touch with each otherd. know each other very well参考答案-bad

to understand him and his music. 16 i was very patient, and that helped me a lot in the process of learning english by myself.actually, i cant describe the techniques i used to learn it, because it was almost automatic for me to start understanding english after a period of hard work trying to translate texts, dialogues and songs. 17 one thing that i can say is that i started learning english through comparing patterns and observing the language structure, comparing it to portuguese and trying to memorize rules. 18 another thing that helped me a lot is the fact that i would spend hours studying the uses, tenses, etc. of the words i could notice. 19 it was the hardest part of the process for me, because the only source i had was music, although i used a pronunciation dictionary , too.20 later on i entered ufmg and really started studying english. today im a teacher at an english course, and i really enjoy it, because i can improve my english each day.a. despite the difficulty,

wrong. a messy desk can actually lead people towards clearer thinking, say researchers from germany. the researchers found in a series of linked studies- using a messy desk and a messy shop front -that people actually thought more clearly when all around was chaos, as they sought to simplify the tasks at hand. that is ,visual and mental clutter（杂乱）forces human beings to focus and think more clearly. for instance, famous thinkers and writers such as albert einstein and roald dahl have been notorious for their untidy desks. “messy desks may not be as detrimental as they appear to be, as the problem-solving approaches they seem to cause can boost work efficiency or emhance employees creativity in problem solving,” say the authors.oddly, the effect seems to work most on conservatives-political liberals are less liable to be worried about mess in the first place, say the researchers. “business and government managers often promote clean desk policies to avoid disorganized offices and messy desks, for the purpose of boosting work efficiency and productivity.” writes a researcher, jia liu of the university of groningen, “this practice is based on the conventional wisdom that a disorganized and messy environment can clutter ones mind and complicate ones judgments”“however, not all evidence supports this conventional link between a messy environment and a messy mind”. the scientists tested peoples response in variousmessyenvironments, including a messy shop front, a disorganized desk, and even a work environment where a language taskremindedpeople of messiness.the authors found in the series of six studies that people tended towards simplicity in their thinking.“they categorized products in a simpler manner, were willing to pay more for a t-shirt that depicts a simple-looking picture, and sought less variety in their choices”, said the researchers.61.according to the text, a proper way to lead people towards clearer thinking is to . a.make a list of priorities b.simplify the tasks
