A. READING (2.5 marks)
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Employees in many countries change jobs more often than previous generations of workers. They don’t
expect to find a job with a company that will take care of them for the rest of their lives. But what is the
causes of this trend? It is a new economy, new ways of doing business, or the employees themself ?
A more globalized economy has had an effect on employment. A large number of companies are now
international, and one of them may decide that moving its office from Germany to Porland, for example, is
in its best interest. That means employees who live and work in Germany may be asked to relocate their
families to a new country or be told that their jobs are simply eliminated.
Companies have also responded to economic pressures by restructing for greater efficiency. This sort of
change within a company usually means that unnecessary jobs are cut , or that fewer employees must do
more work. In either case, some employees find themselves looking for new jobs.
New technology has also had an impact on workplace. The increasing use of personal computers has
meant fewer jobs for office secrectaries, as their former bosses do their own word processing and letter
writing, and for travel agents, as more travellers make their own reservations online. Automation,
including the use of robotic devices, has replaced workers in clothing factories, post offices, and telephone
companies, to name just a few.
Besides these economic and technological reasons, today’s employees are also responsible for more
frequent job changes. Workers in the past were less likely to leave a company because they were
dissactisfied with working conditions or because they didn’t get a long well with their fellow
employees.People today expect to enjoy their work and to get high degree of personal satisfactionfrom
what they do for a living.
Employees may also leave a job because they have learnt all they can learn from their current job.
Getting a new job means gaining new skills and making new contacts, and these skills and relationships
could bring them a step closer to their “ dream job”, the one that is challenching, emotionally anf
financially rewarding, and preferably closer to home or their children’s school.
Finally, companies start up and close down more quickly than they once did. Employees who suspect

that their employer is not doing well may decide to start looking for a new position before the company “
closes its doors”
