1
I hear a number of different recordings
2
and you will have to answer questions on
3
what you hear there will be time for you
4
to read the instructions and questions
5
and you will have a chance to check your
6
work all the recordings will be played
7
once only the test is in four sections
8
at the end of the test you will be given
9
ten minutes to transfer your answers to
10
an answer sheet
11
now turn to section one first you have
12
some time to look at questions one two three you questions one two three good morning
16
so in our tutorial today we’re looking
17
at the nature of choice now last week we
18
were saying that compared with fifty
19
years ago today we’re totally surrounded
20
by choice we have it in the shops at a
21
level which we’ve never previously had
22
but if choice were to disappear I mean
23
if we were to live in an economy where
24
we only had one type of biscuit on offer
25
or one clothe shop in the vicinity do
26
you think we would really be worse off
27
as a result oh I think so
28
most definitely it would be so boring
29
yes I would argue that the very idea
30
which economics is based on is that
31
people have different preferences and
32
forcing people to buy a particular brand
33
would make most people worse off unless
34
we lived in a world where people happen
35
to be identical and agree which of
36
course happily we don’t but having too
37
many choices can lead to problems not
38
having enough time for example hmm I
39
read somewhere that in the US the
40
average number of TV channels is about
41
55 and the average number that is viewed
42
in a week in a typical American home is
43
about 13 and if there are 99 channels it
44
is still about 13 I think this is
45
telling us something it shows us the
46
amount of time people are prepared to
47
spend finding a program
48
before you hear the rest of the
49
conversation you have some time to look
50
at questions four to ten you
52
now listen and answer questions 4 to 10 questions 4 to 10
55
so is the same true for washing powder
56
or toothpaste you think certainly as far
57
as I’m concerned I don’t have time to
58
spend deciding which sort of toothpaste
59
I want to buy well my view is that fifty
60
kinds of different washing powder or
61
fifty kinds of soap do not actually add
62
to the quality of life but in other
63
areas such as CDs then I might say yes
64
there are aspects of choice that do
65
improve the quality of life but what
66
about things like choosing which mobile
67
phone to get that’s a nightmare yes
68
there’s definitely a problem when you’re
69
dealing with complex markets where there
70
appears to be a large choice but
71
actually there isn’t really it’s called
72
confusion marketing with some mobile
73
phone contracts you need to be a trained
74
mathematician to work out which is the
75
best deal well I think confusion
76
marketing is one of the most irritating
77
things I can think of each company
78
offering a slightly different contract
79
so it’s virtually impossible to compare
80
prices so how do people make a decision
81
well it seems to depend on what you’re
82
buying there’s a difference in decision
83
making between buying a loaf of bread
84
and buying a house for example when you
85
buy a loaf of bread you generally use
86
all the available information about it
87
and then choose the best option for you
88
probably based on price and taste
89
however psychologists say that contrary
90
to what you may think when you buy a
91
house you make that decision in less
92
than 10 seconds that first impression
93
counts most of all that’s why people
94
selling their houses are told to make
95
some coffee so the house smells good put
96
fresh flowers out make sure it’s tidy
97
etc first impressions matter a lot it’s
98
the same when you buy a car or a holiday
99
but what happens when there are two
100
holidays and I want to choose between
101
them is it better for me just to choose
102
one immediately and save time or put a
103
lot of effort into finding out all I can
104
about both holidays and making a
105
rational choice well generally people
106
use one of three basic strategies for
107
dealing with choice the first is simply
108
to always get what their parents have
109
always bought in the past but I don’t
110
think many young
111
people nowadays just follow what their
112
parents did well the second strategy is
113
to buy the latest thing to be a
114
trendsetter more and more people seem to

115
be doing this nowadays you find people
116
are throwing out perfectly okay TVs and
117
other electrical equipment just because
118
they’re not totally up to date I know a
119
lot of people who do that good for the
120
economy though keeping people in work
121
making even more stuff well I guess
122
that’s one way of looking at it the
123
third strategy is to buy something which
124
is unique something few people buy
125
designer clothes for instance of course
126
if you have real problems choosing then
127
you can actually pay people to choose
128
for you they spend their time finding
129
the best deal and then present you with
130
the information you’ll still have the
131
problem of how to choose the best person
132
to find out the information for you of course
134
that is the end of section 1 you now
135
have half a minute to check your answers you
137

267
can you tell me how much it will cost
268
it’s quite reasonable actually it’s a
269
hundred and fifteen pounds for the
270
higher of the room with tables and
271
chairs but if you want to hire disco
272
equipment we’ve got a base six system
273
with speakers and other equipment for
274
twenty five pounds but there is no
275
technician around in case anything goes wrong
277
and of course it’s optional that would
278
save us carting something from home but
279
maybe we should bring a spare sound
280
system just in case we’ve never had any
281
problem with the system but you might
282
not want to take any chances
283
what about catering well we had thought
284
of getting everyone bringing something
285
we have someone who can do catering for
286
nine pounds a head including the cake if
287
required that’s handy but it’s a lot as
288
we have a fairly tight budget so you
289
want to go ahead with the booking yes
290
certainly okay I need to take a deposit
291
of thirty pounds which is refundable the
292
balance needs to be paid two days before
293
the event at the latest fine
294
you can cancel up to two days before but
295
after that you lose the deposit we don’t
296
intend to cancel
297
but is there any insurance we can take
298
out yes there’s a form here somewhere
299
how much it’s let me see it’s only nine
300
pounds for the 24-hour period and that
301
covers you for cancellation damage and
302
injury well at least we’d better have a
303
look at it how would you like to pay the
304
deposit cash I’ll just give you a
305
receipt there you are
306
ten twenty thirty thirty pounds at Marea
307
Lincoln thank you very much I’m really
308
glad I found somewhere we have been
309
trying to book a place for the past two
310
weeks so thank you again and bye for now
311
that is the end of section three
312
you now have half a minute to check your
313
answers you
315
Section four
316
you will hear part of the lecture on art
317
and culture in the Indonesian island of
318
Bali first you have some time to look at
319
questions 31 to 40 you
321
now listen carefully and answer
322
questions 31 to 40
323
last week we looked at the traditional
324
art of Japan in this week’s lecture
325
we’re going to move south and look at
326
the very special way in which art has
327
developed in the beautiful island of
328
Bali which is now part of Indonesia I’ll
329
begin by giving you a brief historical
330
overview it’s thought that the first
331
inhabitants of Bali
332
were farmers who arrived around 3,000 BC
333
at the beginning of the Iron Age they’d
334
probably originally came from China and
335
in Bali they cultivated rice and built
336
temples ornamented with wood and stone
337
carvings and statues the Hindu religion
338
was introduced in the 14th century AD
339
and this has remained the main religion
340
on the island this was an important
341
period in the artistic development of
342
the island when sculptors poets priests
343
and painters worked together in the
344
service of the ruling families rather
345
than painting everyday scenes artists
346
concentrated on narrative paintings
347
illustrating the epic stories of
348
Hinduism Bali’s rich natural resources
349
have always made it an alluring goal for
350
merchants and from the 17th century
351
onwards Dutch ships visited the island
352
to trade in spices and luxury goods
353
gradually the old royal families lost
354
their power and eventually in 1906 the
355
Dutch East Indies company was founded
356
and the island became a colony in the
357
20th century art then took on a very
358
different role as a tool accessible to
359
everyone in the fight of the Balinese
360
people against colonization rather than
361
as the property of a minority shortly
362
after this in the 1920s
363
stories of the beauty of the island of
364
Bali began to spread around the world
365
and balinese art underwent another vast
366
transformation with the advent of
367
tourism to the island at first this was
368
only on a small scale but it had
369
important effects expatriate artists
370
from Holland and Germany settled on the
371
island bring
372
paper Chinese ink and other new
373
materials with them they worked with
374
local artists encouraging them to
375
experiment with concepts like naturalism
376
Expressionism light and perspective as
377
well as to move away from the
378
traditional focus on narrative painting
379
towards something closer to their own
380
experience when independence came in
381
1945 this desire for an art to match a
382
new national identity became stronger
383
and the traditional narrative paintings
384
started to give way to seems showing the
385
everyday life of the Balinese people
386
harvests market scenes and daily tasks
387
as well as the myths and legends oftheir history
389
many of the features that give this art
390
its special place in the world today can
391
be traced back to these historical roots
392
one feature that is rooted in the events
393
of the last century is that today in
394
Bali the production and the appreciation
395
of art is not restricted to a minority
396
in fact there is a famous saying that in
397
Bali everyone is an artist and it’s not
398
considered that to make art or talk
399
about art any formal training is needed
400
art is just produced as part of Balinese
401
life even fruit salad is served with
402
flowers strewn on top one factor which
403
is contributed to this productivity is
404
Barley’s fertility over the centuries
405
the rich soil and the fact that food and
406
shelter are readily available has given
407
the Islanders the leisure to develop
408
their arts while painting sculpture
409
carving and music have traditionally
410
been the province of men women have
411
channeled their creative energy into
412
making lavish offerings to the gods with
413
spectacular pyramids of flowers fruit
414
and cakes offered at the temples on
415
festival days and celebrations all these
416
kinds of art still have close links with
417
the religion of the people and are
418
something that people do on a daily
419
basis another special characteristic of
420
art in Bali is that it is not generally
421
seen as an individual pursuit in the
422
West art is often carried out by the
423
artist on his own reflecting his own
424
individual worldview in the hope of
425
achieving personal wealth and fame for
426
Balinese artists art is something that’s
427
done as a group and many artists ma
428
participate in one piece of work and
429
Balinese art is not restricted to
430
temples and offerings it decorates
431
objects such as jackets motorcycles
432
hotel menus and so on but perhaps the
433
most significant characteristic of
434
Balinese art and one that distinguishes
435
it most from the art
436
the West is to do with its expected
437
lifespan carvings are made in soft stone
438
which is gradually destroyed over the
439
002502,080 002505,260
years the humid climate rots paper and
440
cloth paintings the Magnificent
441
offerings of fruit and sweets are eaten
442
wooden statues are destroyed by insects
443
but Balinese artists accept that their
444
work is ephemeral not permanent and
445
instead of slavishly preserving the
446
originals they produce new art and all
447
this rebuilding renovating and replacing
448
means that the islands art continually
449
evolves and perpetuates itself
