听力原文: Most American workers, especially those in professional occupations, follow a set procedure when they leave current employment. If you decide to quit, first, you should submit the letter of resignation to your supervisors at least 2 weeks before you plan to leave. When the letter of resignation is submitted, an exit interview with the immediate supervisor is scheduled. During an exit interview, the supervisor may ask questions like "What are your reasons for leaving?" "What can the company do to get you to stay?" and "What advice would you offer to the person who will replace you?" After that, you need to arrange to meet with the personnel manager to settle all personnel items, such as unpaid medical insurance claims and transfer of retirement funds.
Although employment termination practices vary somewhat from company to company, the 2-week notice is considered standard. If you are employed for certain posts, such as a teacher or school administrator, an even longer notice period, say a semester, may be required so that the school work may not be seriously affected.
If everything runs smoothly, you will be given a sum of money known as the severance pay. In the United States, employees usually receive severance pay when they are fired or asked to resign. The special pay is designed to provide financial assistance to the employee while he or she hunts for a new job.

I was younger,” says Lindson-Hawley, who studies tobacco and health at theUniversity of Oxford.
[51] By studying about 700 adult smokers, she found out that mom quitthe right way — by stopping abruptly and completely.
In her Study, participants were randomly (随机地) assigned to two groups. Onehad to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually overthe course of two weeks. [52]People in both groups used nicotine (尼古丁) patches before they quit, inaddition to a second form. of nicotinereplacement like gum or spray. They also hadtalk therapy with a nurse before and after quit day.
Sixmonths out, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it — more thanone-fifth of them, compared to about one-seventh in the other group.Although these numbers appear low, it’s a very, very low quit rate if people trywithout support.
And thequit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, mostof the people had said they’drather cut down gradually before quitting.[54] “If you’re training for a marathon, youwouldn’t expectto turn up and just be able to run it. And I think people see that for smokingas well. They think, ‘Well, ifI gradually reduce, it’s almost practice,’” says Lindson-Hawley.But that wasn’t the case. [55] Instead of giving people practice,the gradual reduction likely gave them cravings(瘾) and withdrawal before they evenreached the quit day, which could be why fewer people in that group actuallymade it to that point.[53]“Regardlessof your stated preference, if you’re ready to quit, quittingabruptly is more effective,” says Dr.Gabriela Ferreira. “When youcan quote a specific number like a fifth of the patients were able to quit,that’s acompelling number, and I think that translates to the patient. It gives themthe encouragement, I think, to really go for it,” Ferreira says.
Peoplerarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they canmaximize the odds of success.
