Section 1: Listening Test
Part A: Spot dictation
Americans have four primary avenues for making friends—— at work, at school, through a hobby or a common interest such as volunteer work and discussion group or through a family or mutual friend connection. In American culture, a job is more than the work that one performs between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Work becomes a major socializing influence. Many young mothers who sacrifice their jobs to care for small children remark on the loneliness of their new lifestyles because they have lost their forum for adult interaction. A great number of American employers recognize business social potential and use it to build a family atmosphere on the job so that employees will feel comfortable and secure in their work environment. Some employers arrange company get-togethers in their home or at a local restaurant. American companies have at least one major function annually, usually at Christmas time. Many corporations have annual summer picnics where employees and administrators alike dress in jeans and T-shirts to play games, such as baseball and volleyball.
   Top American administrators often hold social gatherings in their own homes. Depending upon the size of the employer’s home and the number of his employees, these social gatherings may be picnics, pool parties, or formal banquets. If the company is large, an employer may hold what Americans call an open house. For an open house, the employer will invite his employees to come to his home anytime between 1 p.m and 6 p.m. on a certain day. Those invited usually stay for one to two hours, chatting with the other guests and their host. People come and go as they please during the designated hours, and the host keeps refreshments, usually light snacks or hors d’oeuvres and beverages, available for all who come. For such social gatherings, it is considered poor practice to refuse the invitation unless you have an excellent reason.
