Part 2 Compound dictation

(每小题：2 分)

Directions: Listen to the passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, listen for the general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, fill in the blanks numbered from S1 to S7 with the exact words you hear. For blanks numbered from S8 to S10, write down either the exact words you hear or the main points in your own words. When the passage is read for the third time, check your answers. Questions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.

Between the ages of 20 and 30, most people have more than 8 jobs. This is a (S1)postive thing for a number of (S2)reasons. First of all, Daniel Gilbert, psychologist at Harvard, says that we really don't know what we'll like until we (S3)try it. So having a lot of jobs when you start your adult life is a good way to (S4)figure out what to do with your adult life.

But, job hopping is a good thing for everyone to do—not just twenty-somethings—because it's a way to (S5)maintain passion in your work. Frequent changes keep your learning (S6)curve high and your challenges fresh. Finally, frequent job hopping, coupled with high performance allows you to build a professional network much faster than someone who stays in one position over a long period of time. And a vibrant network will make finding jobs easier, so job hopping will not be a difficult (S7)path.

(S8)It’s clear that job hopping benefits the employee, not the employer. But when the majority of young people are job hopping, and companies are having a hard time attracting young people to work, recruiters don't have the luxury of writing people off just because they job hopped. Recruiters write people off because their résumé looks like they won't contribute enough to the company.

So, (S9) the trick with job hopping is to make sure your resume always shows that you make a huge contribution wherever you go. That can be independent of job duration. (S10) You can show that you are loyal to a company by exceeding their expectations with your outstanding performance. Loyalty is about delivery. Show that on your résumé, the same place you show job hopping.
