　　Part A: Spot Dictation

　　In the early 1970’s, Citibank of New York City became one of the first financial institutions to install ATM’s on a large scale. Since then, the popularity of automated teller machines has increased dramatically. At the time, the bank hoped simply to reduce their operating costs by replacing human tellers with machines. Little did they suspect that the cash machines would become so successful. However, as more banks added round-the-clock automated service through ATM’s, the machines mushroomed all over the world.

　　To use an ATM, all you need is a plastic card issued by your bank. Your bank may also offer ATM service through a credit card, such as MasterCard or Visa. To begin a transaction, you need to insert the card into an ATM and punch in a personal identification number on the machine’s keypad. The personal ID number may consist of four or six digits and can prevent anyone from using the card.

　　The ATM next flashes instructions on its display screen for carrying out transaction. To get cash, for example, you are instructed to press buttons that indicate whether the money should be withdrawn form a checking or a savings account and the the amount to be withdrawn. This request is then displayed on the screen. After you press a button to verify that the information is correct, the ATM goes to work on the request.

　　How safe, you may ask, is banking by ATM? The personal ID number is meant to prevent anyone, no matter who you are, from using a cash card without authorization. If you enter the wrong ID number for a card, a message on the screen will ask you to try again. As another precaution against card theft, the bank generally limits the amount that may be withdrawn by cash card in a single day, say, to $200.
