　　Conversation Two

　　W: First of all, when do people start work inAmerican offices?

　　M: Right, well, (8) the official work day starts at 9:00a.m. This really means 9 o'clock—not ten past or halfpast nine.

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

　　M: Well, I don't know about employees in your country. (5) But some nations have aphilosophy that you work when the "boss" is around. And any time he's not there, one canrelax by reading the newspaper or doing whatever one likes in a personal way.

　　W: And things are different in the States, you're saying?

　　M: (6) Well, in America one is being paid for one's time. So employees are expected to findother work if their own desks are clear, or to help someone else with his or her work. But younever sit idle doing nothing.

　　W: What about lunch hours? Do you have to take them seriously?

　　M: Oh, yes, sure. An employee's lunch hour should be taken within the period allowed, unlessyou are officially discussing company business— say, on a business lunch. It's the same toowith the end of the day. (7) I mean, work until the day officially ends at five o'clock, unless youare in an office where "flextime" is the accepted practice.

　　W: Oh, so you have the flextime system, do you? I wasn't sure about that.

　　M: Oh yes, sure.(8) Flexible working hours, that is, starting or ending work earlier or later I... Iknow it's still relatively new. However, there are more and more Americans on the system today.Well, for the same reason as in Europe—to keep traffic and commuting problems down. And asmore women now work, it gives them more family time.

　　5. According to the man, what is the philosophy that some nations have?

　　6. What do we know about American employees from the conversation?

　　7. What may be the normal working-time in America according to the man?

　　8. What do we know about flextime?

　　对话二

　　女：首先，美国公司的员工几点开始工作?

　　男：啊，正常的工作日从上午9点开始。9点整，不是9点10分或者9点半。

　　女：你认为美国员工有很努力地在办公室工作吗?

　　男：呃，我不了解你们国家的情况。但是我知道一些国家的办公室哲学是：老板在旁边时才工作。老板不在，人们可以看报消遣或是做任何私事。

　　女：那么你的意思是，在美国情况有所不同吗?

　　男：啊，在美国报酬是按照工作时长支付的。所以即使自己手头的事情处理完了，也要找其他活干，或者帮助同事处理工作。从来不会有人闲坐着。

　　女：午餐时间呢?你们对午餐时间有严格的规定吗?

　　男：哦，是的，当然。员工的午餐时间必须在规定的时间内，除非你在进行正式的公务商谈，比如商务午餐。下班时间也是这样。我的意思是必须工作到规定的下班时间，也就是下午5点。除非你的公司允许有弹性工作时间。

　　女：哦，那么你们有弹性工作制对吗?我不是很确定。

　　男：哦，是的，当然有。弹性工作时间，也就是上班或者下班时间比正常的要早或晚。我知道这种制度还算新鲜事物。但是现在有越来越多的美国人采用这种方式了。原因和欧洲其他国家一样，可以减少交通及通勤问题。而且随着越来越多的女性开始工作，弹性工作制给了她们更多的家庭时间。

　　问题5 根据男士的说话内容，一些国家的办公室哲学是什么?
