Section 4.
0:02
S…
Speaker 2 (time)
You will hear a talk on the topic of time perspectives.
0:06
S…
Speaker 2 (time)
First,
0:07
S…
Speaker 2 (time)
you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
0:11
S…
Speaker 1 (time)
Listen
0:31
S…
Speaker 2 (time)
carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
0:35
S…
Speaker 1 (time)
Today,
0:37
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
I'm going to be talking about time.
0:39
S…
Speaker 1 (time)
Specifically,
0:41
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
I'll be looking at how people think about time and how
0:45
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
these time perspectives structure our lives.
0:48
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
According to social psychologists,
0:50
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
there are six ways of thinking about time,
0:53
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
which are called personal time zones.
0:56
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
The first two are based in the past.
0:59
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
Past positive thinkers spend most of their time in a state of nostalgia,
1:03
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
fondly remembering moments such as birthdays,
1:06
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
marriages,
1:06
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
and important achievements in their life.
1:09
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
These are the kinds of people who keep family records,
1:12
S…
Speaker 1 (time)
books,
1:13
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
and photo albums.
1:14
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
People living in the past negative time zone,
1:18
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
are also absorbed by earlier times.
1:20
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
But they focus on all the bad things,
1:23
S…
Speaker 1 (time)
regrets,
1:24
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
failures,
1:25
S…
Speaker 1 (time)
poor decisions.
1:27
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
They spend a lot of time thinking about how life could have been.
1:31
S…
Speaker 1 (time)
Then,
1:32
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
we have people who live in the present.
1:34
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
Present hedonists are driven by pleasure and immediate sensation.
1:38
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
Their life motto is to have a good time and avoid pain.
1:44
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
Present fatalists live in the moment too,
1:46
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
but they believe this moment is the product of circumstances entirely beyond
1:50
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
their control.
1:51
S…
Speaker 1 (time)
It's their fate,
1:53
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
whether it's poverty,
1:54
S…
Speaker 1 (time)
religion,
1:55
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
or society itself.
1:56
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
Something stops these people from believing they can play a role in
2:00
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
changing their outcomes in life.
2:02
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
Life simply is,
2:04
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
and that's that.
2:05
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
Looking at the future time zone,
2:07
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
we can see that people classified as future active are the planners
2:12
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
and go -getters.
2:13
S…
Speaker 1 (time)
They work,
2:14
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
rather than play,
2:15
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
and resist temptation.
2:17
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
Decisions are made based on potential consequences,
2:20
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
not on the experience itself.
2:22
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
A second future -orientated perspective,
2:26
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
future fatalistic,
2:27
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
is driven by the certainty of life after death and some kind of a judgment
2:32
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
day when they will be assessed on how virtuously they have lived and what success
2:36
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
they have had in their lives.
2:37
S…
Speaker 1 (time)
Okay,
2:39
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
let's move on.
2:40
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
You might ask,
2:41
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
how do these time zones affect our lives?
2:44
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
Well, let's start at the beginning.
2:46
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
Everyone is brought into this world as a present hedonist.
2:51
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
No exceptions.
2:52
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
Our initial needs and demands to be warm,
2:56
S…
Speaker 1 (time)
secure,
2:56
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
fed,
2:57
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
and watered all stem from the present moment.
2:59
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
But things change when we enter formal education.
3:03
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
We're taught to stop existing in the moment and to begin
3:07
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
thinking about future outcomes.
3:08
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
But did you know that every nine seconds a child in
3:12
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
the USA drops out of school?
3:14
S…
Speaker 1 (time)
For boys,
3:15
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
the rate is much higher than for girls.
3:17
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
We could easily say,
3:19
S…
Speaker 1 (time)
ah, well,
3:20
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
boys just aren't as bright as girls.
3:22
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
But the evidence doesn't support this.
3:25
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
A recent study states that boys in America,
3:28
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
by the age of 21,
3:29
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
have spent 10 ,000 hours playing video games.
3:33
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
The research suggests that they'll never fit in the traditional classroom,
3:37
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
because these boys require a situation where they have the ability
3:42
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
to manage their own learning environment.
3:44
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
Now,
3:45
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
let's look at the way we do prevention education.
3:48
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
All prevention education is aimed at a future time zone.
3:52
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
We say,
3:54
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
don't smoke or you'll get cancer.
3:55
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
Get good grades or you won't get a good job.
3:58
S…
Speaker 1 (time)
But,
4:00
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
with present -orientated kids,
4:02
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
that just doesn't work.
4:03
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
Although they understand the potentially negative consequences
4:07
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
of their actions,
4:08
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
they persist with the behavior.
4:11
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
because they're not living for the future.
4:13
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
They're in the moment right now.
4:15
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
We can't use logic,
4:17
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
and it's no use reminding them of potential fallout from their decisions or previous
4:22
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
errors of judgment.
4:22
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
We've got to get in their minds just as they're about to make a choice.
4:27
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
Time perspectives make a big difference in how we value and
4:31
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
use our time.
4:31
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
When Americans are asked how busy they are,
4:34
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
the vast majority report being busier than ever before.
4:39
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
They admit to sacrificing their relationships,
4:42
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
personal time,
4:43
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
and a good night's sleep for their success.
4:45
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
Twenty years ago,
4:47
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
60 % of Americans had sit -down dinners with their families.
4:51
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
And now,
4:52
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
only 20 % do.
4:54
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
But when they're asked what they would do with an eight -day week,
4:58
S…
Speaker 1 (time)
they say,
4:59
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
oh, that'd be great.
5:01
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
They would spend that time laboring away to achieve more.
5:04
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
They're constantly trying to get ahead,
5:07
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
to get toward a future point of happiness.
5:10
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
So, it's really important to be aware of how other people think
5:15
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
about time.
5:15
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
We tend to think,
5:17
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
oh, that person's really irresponsible,
5:19
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
or that guy's power hungry.
5:22
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
But often,
5:23
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
what we're looking at is not fundamental differences of personality,
5:26
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
but really just different ways of thinking about time.
5:30
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
Seeing these conflicts as differences in time perspective,
5:33
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
rather than distinctions of character,
5:36
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
can facilitate more effective cooperation between people.
5:40
S…
Speaker 3 (time)
and get the most out of each person's individual strengths.
5:43
S…
Speaker 2 (time)
That is the end of section 4.
5:47
S…
Speaker 2 (time)
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
5:51
S…
Speaker 1 (time)
That
6:21
S…
Speaker 2 (time)
is the end of the listening test.
6:23
S…
Speaker 2 (time)
You now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to
6:27
S…
Speaker 2 (time)
the listening answer sheet.
