arttime contracts, who only work 4 or 5 hours a day, are happier than those who work fulltime. The researchers concluded that this is probably due to a better worklife balance.W: Are bosses happier than their employees?M: Yes, perhaps not surprisingly, the higher people go in a pany, the happier they are. So senior managers enjoy their jobs more than people working under them.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q1: What is the factor that made employees happy according to the survey?Q2: What is the percentage of the people surveyed who felt unhappy at work?Q3: What kind of panies are popular with employees?Q4: What is the possible reason for people on parttime contracts to be happier?W: Mr. De Keyzer, I39。s Hospital finds it39。s a powerful message.The new finding is based on a study of 44,000 women. They were surveyed about their diets during high school, and their eating habits were tracked for two decades. It turns out that those who consumed the highest levels of fiber during adolescence had a lower risk of developing breast cancer, pared to the women who ate the least fiber. This important study demonstrates that the more fiber you eat during your high school years, the lower your risk is in developing breast cancer in later life.The finding points to longstanding evidence that fiber may reduce circulating female hormone levels, which could explain the reduced risk. The bottom line here is the more fiber you eat, perhaps, a lower level of hormone in your body, and therefore, a lower lifetime risk of developing breast cancer. Highfiber diets are also linked to a reduced risk of heart disease and diabetes. That39。ve looked at young people39。s obviously a major concern to Government at the moment.I39。 again, it39。m also interested in how consumers operate online, and how that online behavior might be different from how they operate offline when they go to the shops.Well, I think that the important thing here is to actually understand what39。s perspective. One of the things that businesses and indeed Government organizations often fail to do is to really see what is happening from the consumer39。s drinking, one of the things that I39。ve tried to present there.The key thing about consumer behavior is that it39。 so we have to look at what consumers are doing.Currently I teach consumer behavior to undergraduates in their second year and we look at all kinds of things in consumer behavior and particularly how consumers are presented in advertising.So they get involved by looking at advertising and really critically assessing the consumer behavior aspects of it and getting involved sometimes doing primary research.For example, last year my students spent a week looking at their own purchasing and analyzed it in detail from shopping to the relationship that they have with their retail banks and their mobile phone providers. I think they found it very useful and it also helped them identify just what kind of budgets they had too. The fact of the matter is that there39。s going to be much more for us to consider and certainly much more for students to bee involved in.16. What is the speaker currently doing?17.
