听力原文：W: First of all, when do people start work in American offices?

M: Well, the official work day starts at 9:00 a.m. This should really mean 9 o'clock -- not ten past nine.

W: Would you say that people work very hard in offices in America?

M: In America one is being paid for his or her time. So employees are expected to find other work if their own desks are

clear, or to help someone else with his or her work. But you never sit idle, or doing nothing.

W: Yes, as the saying goes: "time is money".

M: Exactly. Your employer "owns" your time while he is paying you for it. And anyway the boss doesn't ask more of you than he

is doing himself: he... he will probably work through the lunch hour himself and even take work home at night.

W: Er... could you say something about contracts of hiring in America, please?

M: Well, it's different in America from, say Europe, I'm not sure. We are more democratic. It means perhaps that we won't

develop such a permanent relationship between employer and employee.

W: You mean that your employer can just fire you in America.'?

M: No, no, no. There are, of course, legal protections in the USA. So employees cannot be unjustly fired without good reason.

W: Oh, talking about coffee breaks.

M: Ha-ha, nearly all offices have mid-morning and mid-afternoon coffee breaks. But you should remember that although 15

minutes are allowed twice a day for relaxation and chatter, many employees take coffee to their desks and keep on working.

M: We're not doing too well. The Daily News is tough competition.

W: I'm worried about my job. I like working in the style. section--going to fashion shows, writing up celebrities.

M: Maybe you should think about going back to being a news reporter.

W: That was tough work, especially when I was on crime assignments.

M: I like to cover news stories. They're the ones that get the biggest headlines.

W: Remember your scoop on the bank robber who disguised himself as a woman?

M: Yeah. The editor headline it LITTLE OLD LADY ROBS BANK.

W: And that addition sold an extra 50,000 copies.

M: Those were the good old days. But I think the paper is finished. There is nothing that can save it now. The Daily News is beating us. The new managing editor has made some bad mistakes. The readers don't like the change in layout. The paper was better with the old eight-column page.

W: Why are you so worried?

M: Money, I need the pay.

W: So do I.

M: But I also like the work. I like being a journalist.
