W: Welcome to Workplace. And in today’s program, we’re looking at the results of two recently published surveys, which both deal with the same topic—happiness at work. John, tell us about the first survey.
M: Well, this was done by a human resources consultancy, who interviewed more than 1,000 workers, and established a top ten of the factors, which make people happy at work. [1] The most important factor for the majority of the people interviewed was having friendly, supportive colleagues. In fact, 73% of people interviewed put their relationship with colleagues as the key factor contributing to happiness at work, which is a very high percentage. The second most important factor was having work that is enjoyable. The two least important factors were having one’s achievements recognized, and rather surprisingly, earning a competitive salary.
W: So, we are not mainly motivated by money?
M: Apparently not.
W: Any other interesting information in the survey?
M: [2] Yes. For example, 25% of the working people interviewed described themselves as "very happy" at work. However, 20% of employees described themselves as being unhappy.
W: That’s quite a lot of unhappy people at work every day.
M: It is, isn’t it? And there were several more interesting conclusions revealed by the survey. First of all, small is beautiful: [3] people definitely prefer working for smaller organizations or companies with less than 100 staff. We also find out that, generally speaking, women were happier in their work than men.
W: Yes, we are, aren’t we?
M: [4] And workers on part-time contracts, who only work 4 or 5 hours a day, are happier than those who work full-time. The researchers concluded that this is probably due to a better work-life balance.
W: Are bosses happier than their employees?
M: Yes, perhaps not surprisingly, the higher people go in a company, the happier they are. So senior managers enjoy their jobs more than people working under them.
Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
1. What is the No. 1 factor that made employees happy according to the survey?
2. What is the percentage of the people surveyed who felt unhappy at work?
3. What kind of companies are popular with employees?
4. What is the possible reason for people on part-time contracts to be happier?
选项
A、They can hop from job to job easily.
B、They can win recognition of their work.
C、They can better balance work and life.
D、They can take on more than one job.
答案
C
解析
浏览四个选项,根据选项中出现的hop…easily,win recognition,balance work and life,take on more than one job等表示积极意义的词可推测,此题与某事的积极影响或原因有关。题干问的是做兼职工作的人感到更开心可能是因为什么。对话中提到做兼职工作的人每天只需要工作4或5个小时,要比做全职工作的人更开心,研究者总结这可能是因为兼职者能更好地平衡工作和生活,故答案为C。A项(他们能够轻松跳槽),B项(他们能够在工作上赢得认同),D项(他们能够从事多份工作)对话中均未提及,故排除。
