2 OK, so we've been looking at the attitudes of various social and cultural groups towards the management of their personal finances - how important they feel it is to save money, and what they save their money for. One aspect that we haven't yet considered is gender. So if we consider gender issues we're basically asking whether men and women have different attitudes towards saving money, and whether they save money for different things: Back in 1928 the British writer George Bernard Shaw wrote in his Intelligent Women's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism that A man is supposed to understand (1) politics, economics and finance and is therefore unwilling to accept essential instruction.' He also said, 'A woman, having fewer pretensions, is far more willing to (2) learn'. Now, though these days people might question a lot of the assumptions contained in those statements, recent research does suggest that there are some quite fundamental differences between men and women in their attitudes to economic matters. Let's look at what men and women actually save for. Research studies of women in North America have found that women are far more likely to save for (3) their children's education and they are also more likely to save up in order to buy a house one day. The same studies have found that men, on the other hand, tend to save for a car, which by the way takes a surprisingly large amount of the household budget in North America. But the other main priority for men when saving money is (4) their retirement. When they're earning, they're far more likely to put money aside for their old age than women are. Now this is rather disturbing, because in fact the need for women to save for their old age is far greater than for men. Let's consider this for a moment. To start with, it is a fact that throughout the world, women are likely to live many years longer than men, so they need money to support them during this time. Since women are likely to be the ones left without a partner in old age, they may therefore have to pay for (5) nursing care, because they don't have a spouse to look after them. Furthermore, the high divorce rates in North America are creating a poverty cycle for women. It is the divorced women who will most often have to look after the children and thus they need more money to look after not just themselves but others. So what can be done about this situation? The population in North America is likely to contain an increasing number of elderly women. The research indicates that at present for women it takes a (6) crisis to make them think about their future financial situation. But of course this is the very worst time for anyone to make important decisions. Women today need to look ahead, think ahead - not wait until they're under pressure. Even women in their (7) early twenties need to think about pensions, for example, and with increasing numbers of women in professional positions there are signs that this is beginning to happen. Then research also suggests that women avoid dealing effectively with their economic situation because of a lack of (8) confidence. The best way for them to overcome this is by getting themselves properly informed so they are less dependent on other people's advice. A number of initiatives have been set up to help them do this. This College, for example, is one of the educational institutions which offers night classes in (9) Money
3 Management, and increasing numbers of women are enrolling on such courses. Here, they can be given advice on different ways of saving. Many women are unwilling to invest in stocks and shares, for instance, but these can be extremely profitable. It is usually advised that at least 70% of a person's savings should be in (10) low-risk investments but for the rest, financial advisors often advise taking some well-informed risks. Initiatives such as this can give women the economic skills and knowledge they need for a comfortable, independent retirement. The increasing proportion of elderly women in the population is likely to have other economic consequences... Part 2: Listen to a tour guide talking to a group of visitors outside an historic country house. Write a short answer for each question with NO MORE THAN FOUR WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER in the space provided. (10 points). 1. What does the speaker call the park where Newton House locates? a classic example 2. When did the first park appear? 17th century / seventeenth century 3. What were parks described as because of their social significance? (a) status symbol/ symbol of status 4. What was on decline in importance due to the fashion for parks? fruit(s) and vegetables/ fruit and vegetable gardens/gardening 5. What does the area around a country house primarily consist of? grassland(s)/grass field(s) (adapted from Cambridge CAE 3 2009 - test 3 – listening - part 2) TRANSCRIPT So, here we are at Newton House, a typical eighteenth-century English country house, set in its own beautiful park. Before we go inside, let’s look at the park which really is a classic example of its type, with rolling grassland and scattered trees. ‘Park’ is a word we use a lot nowadays. But if you trace back the history of the park as an idea, it is actually something which came into being as recently as the seventeenth century. People in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries wouldn’t really have understood what a park was, the idea simply didn’t exist. But our ideas about the countryside have changed a lot since then too. People in past centuries knew about agriculture because most of the population was involved in it. But nature, in the sense of wild places, was seen as something dangerous. People wanted civilised, man-made landscapes that showed how the wilderness of nature could be made safe and beautiful. This was how parks began. Well, only rich people had parks, and socially, parkland quickly became significant as a status symbol, first appearing near large country houses like this because it was where the richest people, the big landowners, lived. Also very symbolic socially was tree-planting because trees involved long-term investment. They express a confidence in the future, and so they were carefully planted in prominent positions. What happened during the eighteenth century is that the park became even more important as a setting for a
4 large house, and the fruit and vegetable gardens, which had always been attached to houses, became less significant, often hidden away to one side. This was because if the park was to clearly distinguish its owner as a wealthy person, it needed to be beautiful but not very productive. The immediate surroundings of the house were predominantly grassland, therefore, not fields of crops; they would look too much like work. But that doesn’t mean that the land was completely useless. Part 3: Listen to part of an interview in which a science writer called Andy Hicks and a psychologist called Dr Karen Ferrigan are talking about how technology affects our brains. Decide whether the following statements are True (T), False (F) or Not Given (NG). Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes provided. (10 points) 1. Andy points out that the idea of multitasking itself is a popular misconception. True/T 2. The effect of unread emails on intelligence is said to have been over-simplified by researchers. Not Given/NG 3. Workplace studies indicate that self-deception rarely happens. False/F 4. Karen doubts remembering passwords is difficult due to inconsistent rules that users have to follow. True/T 5. The human brains now are capable of keeping pace with technological change. False/F (adapted from Cambridge CAE 3 2018 - test 4 – listening - part 3) TRANSCRIPT Interviewer: Hello everyone. Today I’m talking to science writer Andy Hicks and psychologist Dr Karen Ferrigan about how technology affects our brains. Andy: Hi. Karen: Hello. Interviewer: Andy, you! latest book claims we shouldn’t be texting, emailing, cooking and watching television all at the same time because our primitive hunter-gatherer brains are poorly suited to such high-tech multitasking. Andy: That’s one way to put it, but there’s more to it. I’d argue that we think we’re doing all these things simultaneously - all of us do - but in practice, the brain doesn’t work that way (1). In terms of paying attention, what we’re doing is rapidly shifting focus from one thing to the next and the next then back around to the first. All of that comes at a cost. It depletes the resources that we need for functioning effectively. Basically, it’s an illusion (1). Interviewer: You’ve written about the effect of having unread emails. Can you tell us about how that affects intelligence? Andy: Well, there was one study that showed that the distraction of knowing you’ve had an email that you haven’t read, while it doesn’t lower your overall level of intelligence permanently, it does effectively lower it
