听力原文：
People nowadays seem to have the sense that their -time has become more limited, that compared to earlier
generations, we spend more and more time working and have less and less free time to engage in leisure pursuits.
But this premise turns out to be an illusion. The most comprehensive data from major time use surveys suggest
that,ifanything, Americanstodayhavemorefreetime thanearlier generations.Thenumberofhoursweworkhas
not changed much, but we spend less time now on home tasks. So we have a greater amount of time for leisure
than in decades past. So why do we feel like time is so scarce? One problem is that our time has become more
valuableand as time becomes worth more money, we feellike we have less of it. Workers who billor get paidby
the hour, think lawyers and fast-food workers, report focusing more on pursuing more money than those who get
paid at salary and the effect happens fast. In one experiment, people were told to play the role of consultants and
bill their time at either nine dollars an hour or ninety dollars an hour. When people billed their time for ninety
dollars an hour they reported feeling far more pressed for time. Thinking about our time as money changes our
behavior as well. In one study,people who were instructed to think about money before entering a cafe spent less
time chatting with the other patrons and more time working. Those who were thinking about their time did the
