In these set of materials, the listening passage is related with reading passage by giving an example of a situation that fits the issues described on the first part (the lecture). As the lecture shows, there are two kinds of unintended consequences when someone or an entity makes a decision; an example of this is the closure of a street to the car traffic that can bring either good or bad consequences.

In the listening passage it is stated that this phenomena can happen in any field or any time, for instance, the government decisions.
