Questions 1–4

1 M: Good morning. My name is Bob Fetterman. I’m the computer technician.

2 W: Didn’t I call for you last week?

3 M: Maybe? I work for Alpha Maintenance. I imagine someone from your office called our central office and I’m the engineer designated to your case.

4 W: Yeah, I spoke to a lady there last Tuesday, which is now 10 days ago. I made it clear it was an urgent matter and please send someone as soon as possible. Couldn’t you or someone else have come sooner?

5 M: I’m sorry, but I’m not in charge of scheduling all logistics. I simply do not know. All I can tell you is I got the call this week and came as soon as I could.

6 W: I see. Well, I’ll have you know, my manager is rather indignant that it’s taken you this long to come. I understand it might not be your fault, but nevertheless, you should know what the feeling is around here.

7 M: I understand, and I’m sorry for any inconvenience. I will try to resolve your computer problem as swiftly and optimally as I can. What and where is the issue?

8 W: It’s this machine right here. It was running slow for a while, I guess, and gradually got worse and worse. Last Tuesday, it just stopped working altogether. If you switch it on, you will see what I mean.

9 M: Okay. Do you know if it’s backed up?

10 W: Backed up?

11 M: I mean, do you know if its contents have been copied and saved somewhere else?

12 W: I don’t know.

13 M: Well, depending on the ensuing operative scenario, if I need to wipe the system directories clean in order to reconfigure default protocols, then my first intervention should be to intricately retrieve all inventories that I can. Otherwise, all data that was stored on its hard drive will be forever lost.

14 W: My manager would know. Let me go get him.

Questions 5–8

1 M: Have you given more thought to studying law?

2 W: I’ve been thinking about it a lot, yes. In fact, this is why I wished to speak to you. I wanted to hear more about what it’s like.

3 M: A career in law is a beautiful thing in my opinion. Many people will say it’s a boring field, but I disagree. The thing is there are many different branches of law and many different jobs.

4 W: You are involved with buildings and construction, right?

5 M: Correct. I’m a solicitor, specializing in real estate. Most of my work involves mediating land disputes.

6 W: Do you mind giving me an example?

7 M: Sure. So in many cases I am employed to arbitrate between two clashing parties. Let’s say for example, there are two landowners who are in a thorny disagreement about something like the borders of their adjacent plots. Someone may employ me to break the deadlock and resolve the dispute. Often my work involves negotiating agreements, plain and simple.

8 W: So you are saying that a lot of what you do is fix people’s legal issues, like you try to find a solution that benefits everyone and that prevents a problem from escalating.

9 M: Exactly, well put. You need to remember that courts, like all bureaucracies really, can be very messy, frustrating, and expensive. For this reason, it’s usually better to resolve problems outside of court whenever possible.

10 W: I see. So besides knowing the law inside out, you need good people skills, right?

11 M: Of course. Any job that involves people requires good interpersonal skills, and any law professional needs to be very eloquent at articulating that argument.

12 W: Right. So I’ve been thinking about studying criminal law. I think it sounds very interesting.

13 M: Mm-hmm, yes. I’d say there’s more money in property law, but the stakes are higher in criminal law. I can see how you would find it more interesting.

Questions 9–11

1 When a person tries to access a memory, their brains quickly examine everything stored in it to find the relevant information. But as we age, many of us have difficulty retrieving memories.

2 In a review published in the journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences on February 11th, researchers propose an explanation for why this might be happening: the brains of older adults allocate more space to accumulated knowledge and have more material to navigate when attempting to access memories. While this wealth of prior knowledge can make memory retrieval challenging, the researchers say it has its upsides—this life experience can aid with creativity and decision-making.

3 Researchers Tarek Amer, Jordana Wynn and Lynn Hasher looked at several behavioral and brain imaging studies, which show that older adults have difficulty suppressing information that is no longer relevant and that when searching for a specific memory, they often retrieve other, irrelevant memories along with it. The studies also showed that when given a cognitive task, older adults rely more heavily on previous knowledge than younger adults do.

4 While the researchers focus primarily on the difficulties that these disorderly, crowded memories may pose, they also highlight a few situations in which these same memory patterns may be useful. “Evidence suggests that older adults show preserved, and at times enhanced, creativity as a function of enriched memories,” the researchers write. They further hypothesize that older adults may be well served by their prior knowledge when it comes to decision-making, where they can pull on their accumulated wisdom.

Questions 12–15

1 There are at least four major problems with work in America today.

2 First, work can be alienating. Workers are often not in control of how they work, when they work, what is done with the goods and services they produce, and what is done with the profits made from their work.

3 Second, workers are not paid the full value of their labor. Real wages have not kept pace with productivity, driving economic inequality and a decline in labor’s share of income.

4 Third, people are time poor. In the U.S., full time employees work an average of 8.72 hours per day despite productivity increases. Long working hours contribute to the feeling of “time poverty”, which has an adverse effect on psychological well-being.

5 Fourth, automation puts jobs and wages at risk. Technological innovation could in theory liberate people from the 40-hour work week. But unless changes are made to the structure of work, automation will simply exert downward pressure on wages and further diminish work opportunities.

6 So, what can be done to alleviate these problems? There are competing visions of the best way to arrive at a solution. One vision is what’s known as the “post-work” position. The post-work theorists believe that work should not hold a central position in our lives or take up so much of our time. They assert that although doing some work might be necessary, meaning, purpose and social value reside in the communities and relationships built and sustained outside of the workplace. Thus, life should be seen as an end in itself.

Questions 16–18

1 Recent studies show that self-control and persistence increase academic outcomes, independence of IQ. Even our personal beliefs about efforts can affect academic outcomes. Children who think effort leads to achievement outperform those who believe ability is a fixed trait. Given the link between persistence and academic success, decisions about efforts are particularly important in childhood.

2 Yet, relatively little research has explored how young children learn what’s worth the effort. We all know that infants are keen observers of the social world, but they’re not just idly watching; they are tiny learning machines. They can generalize such abstract concepts as causal relationships and social roles from just a few examples. Even a 15-month-old infant can outperform a high level computer in such tasks. Could infants also make broad generalizable inferences from a few examples when it comes to effort? If so, then maybe persistence isn’t simply a character trait. Maybe it’s flexible and adaptable based on social context.

3 To explore this question, we showed 15-month-old babies one of two things—an experimenter working hard to achieve two different goals, or an experimenter who effortlessly reached each goal. Then we introduced the baby to a novel music toy that seemed as if it could be activated by pushing a big button on top. The button could be pressed down, but didn’t actually activate anything. Out of sight of the babies, we turned on the music toy with a hidden button so that they heard the toy making music. We gave the babies the music toy and left the room. Then analysts who didn’t know which condition each baby was in, watched video tapes of the experiment and counted how many times babies tried to activate the toy by pressing the button.

4 Across one study and a pre-registered duplication, babies who had seen an adult persist and succeed push the button about twice as many times as those who saw an adult effortlessly succeed. In other words, babies learned that effort was valuable after watching just two examples of an adult working hard and succeeding. Part of what’s exciting about this finding is that the babies didn’t just imitate the adult’s actions. Instead, they generalized the value of effort to a novel task. The experimenter never demonstrated pushing a button or trying to make music. Instead, the babies learned from different examples of effortful actions that the new toy probably also required persistence.

Questions 19–21

1 If chronic lateness has taken over your life and turned into a defining trait of who you are, it’s likely that you’re losing out on job offers, recreational opportunities, friendships, and more. If you are showing up late to your own life, get organized, prioritize punctuality, and address any underlying causes.

2 When you have to be somewhere, try to arrive 15 to 30 minutes before you need to. If you always run late, that means you must be failing to account for something you always do. Anticipate that by giving yourself extra time to arrive. Keep track of whether or not you actually do arrive early. You might find that leaving early gets you to places exactly on time.

3 Set two alarms. Set one alarm that lets you know it’s time to drop what you’re doing and a second alarm that means you need to walk out the door. Obey the alarms. As soon as the first alarm goes off, stop what you’re doing. If it’s something you’ll be coming back to, like a project for work, make a note to remind yourself where you left off. Grab everything you need and make sure you know how to get where you’re going. Aim to be out the door and on your way before the second alarm rings. This will only work if you take the alarms seriously, so make sure you react as soon as you hear them.

4 Prepare for the day ahead. Have all of your notes and materials organized well in advance of each event, so that all you have to do is grab them and go when it’s the actual day. If mornings are a struggle for you, do as much as you can to ready yourself the night before. Before you go to bed, lay out your clothes and pack your bag for the next day.

5 Learn to leave time in between tasks and meetings. It soon becomes unbearable to shift between one meeting and another without space in between. If you overschedule yourself, however, you’ll arrive late as soon as you hit a bump. As well as giving you space, this time also acts as a buffer between events, which can be borrowed from, should you be held up in a prior meeting, allowing you to still get to the next one on time. Calculate transit time between activities and then add 10 to 30 minutes for unexpected delays.

Questions 22–25

1 Do you think Bostonians put out the welcome mat? Do you find other cities to be more or less polite? Different cities have different feels for visitors. Some are friendly and open; some are formal and distant. Boston tends to seem hurried and sometimes a little rude. That’s what some tourists have said. One study found that people here are less willing to volunteer to help strangers than those residents of other U.S. cities. Take a close look next time you’re in Boston, and here are some of the things you’ll probably see: people smoking in the subway stations despite the frequent reminders not to do so; pedestrians walking when the crosswalk lights say not to do so, ignoring the cars; car drivers speeding, making a loud noise with the horn and occasionally cursing at each other. Drivers who can’t be bothered to find a place to park, but instead simply turn on their blinker and stop in the middle of the street.

2 Sometimes Bostonians seem like they’re just too busy to be polite. Why is their city like that? Former U.S. representative Chester Atkins says it’s because the Puritan founding fathers were themselves impatient and bad-tempered, and had little time for courtesy. That culture has carried down to the present day, he believes. Boston College professor Thomas O’Connor thinks a contributing factor is Boston’s history as a city where each new group of immigrants was treated with suspicion and exclusion. That’s given Boston a sense of clannishness and reserve, he thinks. The idea of a stranger greeting another stranger is simply not part of the local culture, he says. People will begin a conversation with someone they know, but not with a stranger. Ralph Whitehead, a professor of journalism at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, thinks it’s because Boston’s upper class used manners to make class distinctions. By being snobbish about manners, Proper Bostonians made other people scornful of courtesy, he says.

3 Some say that’s just the way Boston is and that the city will never change. Still, other cities with reputations for worse rudeness are trying hard to change their images. Paris is one example where people are trying to be friendly. New York City is another. There, the city is trying to persuade subway riders to be more considerate. If those cities can make the effort, maybe Boston should as well.
