I. Reading comprehension (3 points) Job Sharing
Job sharing refers to a situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one full-time job. The two
people willingly act as part-time workers, working enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-
time worker. If they each work half of the job, for example, they each receive 50 % percent of the job’s wages,
its holidays and its other benefits. Of course, some job sharers take a smaller or larger share of the
responsibilities of the position, receiving a lesser or greater share of the benefits.
Job sharing differs from obligatory part-time work in that it is mainly occurring in the more highly skilled
and professional areas, which involve higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment. Until recently,
these characteristics were not generally seen as compatible with full-time employment. Thus, the demands of
job sharing are needed by better pay and conditions and, ideally, more satisfaction than obligatory part-time work.
The types of jobs that are shared vary, but include positions that involve responsibility for many
subordinates. Research into shared senior management positions suggests that even such high-pressure work
can be shared between two people with little adjustment, if the personalities and temperaments of the sharers
are not vastly different from one another.
The necessity of close cooperation and collaboration when sharing a job with another person makes the
actual work quite different from obligatory one-position, one-person jobs. However, to ensure a greater chance
that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and performances of his
or her partner before applying for a position. More ever, there must be an equitable allocation 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.

V. Translation (2 points)
The basic economic problem for any community is how to make the best use of its labour and other
resources. In economic terms, labour and other resources are called means of production or factors of production.
The volume of output is limited by the amount of factors of production. The more factors of production we have,
the more we can produce. The problem for any community is how to use its factors of production to the best
advantage. Therefore, the economic problem is how to allocate factors among different industries in order to
produce what the community wants most. In a given period we cannot have as much of everything as we want
because factors of production are limited in amount, but at least we can try to produce the particular assortment of
goods and services which the community prefers. .
