IELTSリスニング練習問題59

The answer is B. According to the script, "Everyone is brought into this world as a present hedonist. No exceptions. Our initial needs and demands – to be warm, secure, fed and watered – all stem from the present moment." This clearly shows that at birth, we are all present hedonists, not specifically at school or during eating and drinking.

The answer is A. The script clearly states, "The research suggests that they'll never fit in the traditional classroom because these boys require a situation where they have the ability to manage their own learning environment." This supports option (A), as the need for control over their own learning environment is the reason highlighted for the higher dropout rate, not the other options.

The answer is C. The script states, "Although they understand the potentially negative consequences of their actions, they persist with the behaviour because they're not living for the future; they're in the moment right now." This means present-oriented children know what could happen if they do something bad, but do it anyway, which matches option (C).

The answer is A. The script explains, "But when they're asked what they would do with an eight-day week, they say “Oh that'd be great”. They would spend that time labouring away to achieve more." This indicates that, given more time, Americans would use it to work harder, not on relationships or family meals.

The answer is B. At the end of the script, it says, "Seeing these conflicts as differences in time perspective, rather than distinctions of character, can facilitate more effective cooperation between people and get the most out of each person's individual strengths." This supports that understanding time perspectives helps us work together better, which best matches option (B).
