听力原文: When people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use available community services such as adult daycare centers. If the caregivers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other responsibilities. In contrast, a spouse usually the wife, is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home. Social workers discover that the wife normally tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can in order not to use up their life savings. Researchers have found that caring for the elderly can be a very positive experience. The elderly appreciated the care and attention they received. They were affectionate and cooperative. However, even when care-giving is satisfying, it is hard work. Social workers and experts on aging offer caregivers and potential caregivers help when arranging for the care of an elderly relative. One consideration is to ask parents what they want before they become sick or dependent. Perhaps they prefer going into a nursing home and can select one in advance. On the other hand, they may want to live with their adult children. Caregivers must also learn to state their needs and opinions clearly and ask for help from others especially brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters are often willing to help, but they may not know what to do.

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.

听力原文: W: I'm not surprised that factory workers want shorter hours. How would you like to be panels or turn screws hours after hours everyday.
M: I wouldn't. I'd get bored. And I think only of my weekly wage packet.
W: So naturally, our workers are always on strike. They are bored and they want more money to spend in spare time.
M: No. What worries me is that there is far too many unnecessary disagreements between workers, trade unions and managements. We haven't yet learned to work together-as a team.
W: Is that why so many of our industries are dying?
M: What do you mean so many of our industries and what do you mean by dying?
W: That's the word you used the other day about coal mining and cotton textile industry.
M: Why do people get so upset about these industries? I suppose it's because it used to be our pride and strength. Well, there aren't any more as far as I'm concerned, the sooner people realize it, the better. Then all the money, labor and technical skills wasted on them could be put into the spending of other industries like electronics, motor cars, IT industry, and even some industry like tourism.
W: What about industries in other European countries? Haven't they got the same sort of problems.
M: Yes, hut they had more practice at fighting for markets. That's why I'm in favor of Britain being a member of Euro Zone. Industry inside of the Euro Zone are forced to take notice of their competitors.
W: Don't you feel hopeless about the future?
M: Of course, I don't. We are very invented and innovated people and we have plenty of skilled and professional workers. Besides, we still have reputation for honesty and fair dealing in business.
W: How nice to hear you boast, Charlie. The English think it's in bad taste to boast, don't they? When foreigners ask you how are things, and you answer "not bad". How they are to know "not bad" often means first class, thank you.
