10.
M: I really enjoy the play. The students did a great job with the scenery. It looks so authentic. I felt like I was back in the 19th century.
W: I wish you could say the same thing about the costumes.
What does the woman imply?
11.
W: Hey, I see you reading that new bestseller. Is it any good?
M: It got off a slow start, but it’s starting to pick up a little now.
What does the man mean? (get off)
12.

What does the woman imply?
28.
M: It’s the 3rd time this week my roommate had a party in our room. This is really starting to affect my class work. I wonder if I should talk to someone at the housing office about changing rooms.

What does the woman imply the man should do?
29.

Part B
31-35 Antibiotics
W: Hi, Dan, you know that lab you missed? You can have my notes.
M: Thanks. I appreciate that.
W: So how are you feeling?
M: Much better now that I began taking an antibiotic. Student health gave me one, and it’s really help. You know what amazes me that the human races survive before antibiotics.
W: I agree. When my father was a young boy in the 1940’s, he got blood poisoning and would have died. But his doctor had heard of this new drug, called penicillin.
M: Wow, he was really lucky. And now we have lots of antibiotics that kill bacteria.
W: Well, penicillin kills bacteria, but not all antibiotics do. Some are just slowing the bacteria down until our normal immune defenses can finish the job. Tetracycline works that way.
M: Wow, you are a fund of drug trivia. How do you know all these?
W: My mother used to look up all our medicines, prescription and non-prescription. There are lots of books around. It’s interesting. What antibiotic are you taking?
M: I don’t remember. It’s on the bottle. I think I’ll take a new look at the label and drop by the library to see if they have reference books on medicines. See you in lab tomorrow.
31. What are the speakers mainly discussing?
32. What does the woman offer to give the man?
33. Why does the woman tell the story about her father?
34. Where did the woman learn about antibiotics?
35. What will the man probably do next?

36-40 in cafeteria
W: Hi, Bill, how is it going?
M: Oh, hi, Jan. I’m OK. How about you?
W: You can probably tell just by looking at me. I’m really busy. Hey, what are you reading?
M: A pretty interesting article. My biology professor assigned it, and I thought I just look it over. But I got really involved in it. It’s about endangered species.
W: That sounds pretty interesting. I’m getting frustrated with the two research papers I’m struggling with.
M: Oh?
W: And can you believe they are both due on the same day?
M: That’s tough.
W: I’ll get through it. So what’s this you are reading?
M: Well, it’s basically about the choices conservationists are faced with. You know, these days when funding so hard to come by.
W: Wait a minute. Is the focus on biology or economics?
M: Both. Conservationists don’t have enough funding to save every endangered species in the world, so they have to decide based on what would be lost if a species became extinct.
W: Can you give me an example of what you mean?
M: Take for instance, two animals, the spotted awl and the tailed toad. The article says the toad is unique. It has no relatives. But there are a lot of varieties of awls.
W: So, if that toad became extinct, we’d lose an important link in the chain of revolution, right?
M: Exactly. But that isn’t so for the awl. So for conservationists, it might be clear choice of which animal to save.
W: I see. I am glad I don’t have to make that kind of decision. Aren’t you?
36. What are the speakers mainly discussing?
37. Why is the woman so busy?
38. Why does the woman say she’s frustrated?
39. What problems do conservationists have?
40. What can be inferred about the tailed toad?

Part C
41-44 Architecture history
In my opinion, Frank Lloyd Wright was the greatest American architect of the 20th century. People who know his designs well point out that his roofs often leaked, his ceilings were too low, and his houses were uncomfortable. In my presentation, however, I’ll be focusing on the virtues of his designs. For what you will see, it would be hard to dispute that he manipulated space extremely well, some of his smallest houses look gigantic, and he had great respect for the materials he used and also a tremendous skill for placing his buildings in harmony with nature. Wright’s career began when he was young. He was just a teenager when he helped build the chapel on his family’s property in Wisconsin. And from there, he got hired as a draftsman by the project architect. So it was a very long career. He died at 91, while his final major work, the Guggenheim Museum, was still being built. Today, we’ll cover what we consider to be the two great periods of his career, Wright’s works before the Tokyo Imperial Hotel completed in 1922 and everything after Falling Water, a private residence in western Pennsylvania completed in 1936. The first period started around 1896, when he made a dramatic shift from the classical tradition to the arts and crafts movement. Here, the emphasis was on order, consistency and unity of design.  Things were kept simple with minimal decoration. Natural forms were very important. Let’s take a look at a slide of his own dining room done in this style.
41. What is the purpose of the talk?
42. What is one criticism of Wright?
43. How did Wright’s career begin?
44. Why does the speaker mention the Imperial Hotel and Falling Water?

45-47 Astronomy
We are going to talk today about the moon, our moon. First of all, the earth’s moon is unusual. Why? It’s larger than other moons or satellites in the solar system, in relation to its planet that is. Its diameter is more than a quarter that of the earth. And if you compare the earth and the moon in terms of substance, you find the moon isn’t much like the earth. For example, the earth has a significant iron core, but the moon contains very little heavy materials like iron. That’s why its density is much lower than that of the earth. Now, one time it was believed that the moon and the earth were formed at the same time from the same material. But then wouldn’t the moon have as much iron as the earth? Another theory is that the moon was formed elsewhere in the solar system, and then it was captured, sort of speak, by earth. But study shows that the young earth would not have had enough gravitational force to stop a body the size of a moon from traveling through the solar system and pull it into orbit. The newest theory is called the big splash theory. Here, the new young earth was hit by another big planet. Most of the colliding planet entered the earth and became part of it. But the huge impact created a vapor that shed out into space and eventually condensed as the moon. Because this material came mostly from the earth surface crust, not the iron core, the moon contains almost no iron. Well, as plausible as it sounds, it’s only a theory, and we can’t be sure that this is what really happened, that this is how the moon originated. Plenty of research remained to be done.
45. What does the Prof mainly discuss?
46. According to the Prof, why do scientists disagree with the theory that earth captured the moon?
47. What information about the moon’s composition helps support the big splash theory?

48-50 Psychology
In order to diagnose and treat abnormal behavior, we have to start with clear definitions of what’s meant by abnormal and normal. Criteria must be worked out for distinguishing one from the other in actual clinical cases. The word abnormal implies a deviation from some clearly defined norm. In the case of physical illness, the boundary lines between normality and pathology are often clearly delineated by medical science, making it easier to diagnose. On the psychological level, however, we have no ideal model to use as a base of comparison, nothing to help us distinguish mental health from mental disorder. The problem of defining abnormal behavior via establishing just what is meant by normal behavior has proved extremely difficult. However, as chapter 5 outlines, several criteria have been proposed. One norm described in detail in your text is personal adjustment. An individual who was able to deal with problems effectively without serious anxiety or unhappiness or more serious symptoms is said to be well adjusted. Personal adjustment as a norm has several serious limitations though. For example, it makes no reference to the individual’s role in the group. How’re we going to classify, for example, the a typical politician or businessperson who engages in unethical practices. Either might be a successful, happy, well-adjusted individual. Obviously, the welfare of the group, as well as that of the individual, must be considered, which brings me to the next approach.
48. What problem concerning abnormal behavior does the instructor discuss?
49. Why does the instructor mention physical illness?
50. What will the instructor probably discuss next?

W: Dr Manning, do you have a few minuets. I’d like to ask you about this fossil I found.
M: Sure Jon. What have you got there?
W: Well, it’s some kind of shellfish. I thought is might be a brachiopod, but I am not sure. I found it when I went out hiking last weekend.
M: I think you might be right. It certainly appears to be a brachiopod. But it’s easy to confuse them with the bivalve mollusks. Superficially they resemble one another. Both have two shells for example.
W: How can you tell them apart then?
M: Well, there are some minor differences in the shell. A lot of brachiopods have ridge shells like this one. There are other distinctions of course. Internally they are quite different. Mollusks and brachiopods belong to different animal groups, and they have been in competition with one another millions of years ago.
W: How old do you think this one is?
M: It’s hard to tell. The earliest brachiopods were from the Paleozoic era, 300 to 500 million years ago. They were quite successful then in terms of number of species. It’s not out of the question that your fossil could be that old.
W: Wow, that’s amazing. Kind of makes paleontology seem more interesting when you can hold it in your hand.
M: You know that gives me an idea. Would you mind bring this to our next class? The others might find it interesting too.
W: Well, I could. But if you don’t already have one in your collection, I thought you might as well keep it.
M: That’s very kind of you.

M: I am so relieved I just finished the story I was working on for our creative writing course.
W: I haven’t quite finished mine yet. I had trouble getting pass the beginning.
M: How come?
W: Well, I was really happy to be writing a detective story. But after the first few pages, I sort of froze up mentally. I just couldn’t write any more.
M: The same thing happened to me. I thought it meant I lack imagination.
W: Well, Prof Wilson said it’s pretty common for writers to get stuck like tat.
M: You went to talk to her about it?
W: Actually, I went to ask for more time to finish the assignment. But instead she gave me some advise about how to keep from getting stalled writing like that. She said that the first thing I should do is just write anything that come into my head even if it doesn’t make any sense, sort of burble warm up exercise.
M: That is interesting. When I got stuck, I shift to something else, you know, do some work for one of my other courses.
W: Well, her methods seem have worked for me. I’ve written most of the story, and I should be able to hand it in on time. But first I need go to the jewelry store.
M: You are going shopping? Can’t you wait until you finish your story?
W: I am going there for my store. My detective solves a jewelry store robbery. So I want to take a look at how the jewelry cases are arranged, where the security cameras are located, that sort of thing.

Part C
40-42 biology
Today, we are going to talk about a special way some plants respond to being invaded by pests. The plants react by emitting a chemical signal, which acts like a call for help. Let’s take corn plants for example. Sometimes, caterpillars chew on the corn leaves. When the caterpillar saliva mixes with the chew portion of a leave, the plant releases a chemical scream that attracts wasps. The wasps respond to the signal by flying to the chewed on leave, and laying their eggs on the caterpillars. The caterpillars die in the next few days as the wasp offspring nourish themselves by feeding of them. Thus the corn plant prevents all its leaves from being eaten by the caterpillars. This chemical scream is specific. It’s only released after the plant has detected the caterpillar saliva. A plant that is cut by in the other means does not give off the same signal, nor doesn’t undamaged plants. This also explains how a wasp can find a caterpillar in a huge field of corn. Soybean, cotton and probably many other plants use similar type of defense against pests. By enhancing this natural response in plants, researchers might reduce, some day even eliminate, the need for chemical pesticide, which can cause ecological damage. For example, scientists might breed plants for this screaming trait, or they might transplant specific genes to increase the release of the chemical signals.
40. What’s the main purpose of the talk?
41. What causes the corn plant to emit the chemical signal?
42. How can a wasp find a caterpillar on a corn plant?

43-47 religious study
Today, we are going to continue our discussion of Buddhism. In our last class, we talked about how it practiced. Today, I’d like to talk a little about early Buddhism, which we really don’t know much about. Well, what is known is that the teachings of Buddhism were memorized, and passed on orally for centuries by its followers. Recently, there was an important discovery of Buddhist manuscripts that are believed to be the oldest ever found. They may be 2,100 years old. And there maybe as many as 20 of them. It’s expected that we will be able to learn from them about the spread of Buddhism from present day India into China, and throughout Asia. But the scrolls themselves have presented challenge too. They were very fragile, found rolled up in clay pots. Before they even could be looked at, they need to be dampened over night in fact, and then carefully flattened with tweezers. And it’s not that anybody could just sit down and read them. The scrolls were written in a language that is really rare today. Only a few people are proficient at it. Considering these challenges, it’s easy to understand why it takes scholars so long to examine the scrolls.
43. What is the main topic of the talk?
44. According to the speaker, what’s one aspect of the manuscript that is very significant?
45. What was an early source of information about Buddhism?
46. What do scholars expect to learn about from the manuscripts?
47. What has made it difficult to study the manuscripts?

48-50 US history
About 200 years ago, the United States economy was growing quickly, mainly because a booming trade in grain and cotton. This trade is grain and cotton went on near areas near or at the cost, or near navigable rivers. It took place there because it was so expensive to transport goods over the roads that existed. They were muddy, narrow, and hard to travel on. At that time, don’t forget there was only one continuous road that existed in the US, and it was made up of north to south local country roads, linked together to get one long road. Within a short time, the first east-to-west roads were built. They were called turnpikes. Private companies built these roads, and collected fees from all vehicles traveled on them. Eventually, a network of dirt, gravel or plank roadways connected some major cities and towns. But even these turnpike roads were still very slow, and traveling on them was too costly for farmers. They would spend more money to move their crops than they got by selling them. So, we see that even with some major improvement in roadways, farmers still had to rely on rivers to move their crops to markets.
48. What’s the talk mainly about?
49. According to the prof, what cause the growth of the US economy about 200 years ago?
50. According to the prof, what did private companies do after they built new roads?

6M:Nancy, remember yesterday you asked me to pay your phone bill ?I forgot
  W: What !Yesterday was the last day of the month. Now I have to pay an extra free
  Q: What does the woman mean?

7W:What happened? We were supposed to meet here at 5 I've been waiting for you almost 20 minutes
  M: Sorry. I was working all day for my history paper and I got to so wrapped up in the research that I completely lost track of the time.
  Q: What does the man mean?

8M:I wish I could help you. I'm not really good with computers. Whenever I have a problem with my computer,I just turn the whole thing off and then start all over again.
  W: Well,I try that already about a dozen times.
  Q: what can be inferred about the conversation?

9M:I'm really enjoying that literature with Professor Benson. Was the lecture this morning interesting?
W: To tell you the truth, I was so exhausted from staying up last night to finish the reading that I didn't get much out of it
  Q: what does the woman mean?

10M:I'm looking for a gift for a friend of mine .Any suggestions?
  W: Well, I have to know a little bit about your friend first. It's hard for me to say otherwise.
  Q :what does the woman imply the man should do?

11M:Why are  you lugging that heavy history books around? Don't you know you can read it all on a computer?
   W: Yeah. But that' not for me. There's something about the few of the printed page that just appeals to me.
  Q: what does the woman mean ?

12 W: Look at this place. It's a complete mess .my roommate never helps clean anything. She's always on the phone and...
     M: It's sounds like one of you will have to go.
     Q: What does the man mean?

13W:I hope it's not going to rain for the picnic on Sunday. I'd hate to have to call everyone and postpone it again.
   M: Well, sorry to tell you this .But you'd better get the guest's list and calendar out.
   Q: what does the man imply?

14M:I wish I could afford season tickets to the opera.  
    W :Well, just think of how much time you have to do other things
    Q: what does the woman imply

15W:So what we have this article ,are two different opinions about the same historical period.
   M: Excuse me .Professor Walton .But which one do you think is right?
   Q: what does the man want professor to do?

16W:I just found someone's wallet lying in the street .Luckily, the owner's telephone number is inside.
   M :My house is a short walk from here
   Q: what does the man imply?

17W:I need these articles photocopied and stapled. For my 4'o clock meeting .Do you think you could have it done by then.
   M: There are several letters I need to type. They are not very urgent though. So I can make this top priority.
   Q :what will the man probably do?

18W:Is biology class cancelled next Friday for the long weekend.
    M: Professor Smith cancelled the class? You've got to be joking?
   Q: what does the man mean?

19M:I was wondering if you might be able to go the the drug store for me and get a bottle of cough syrup and some flu medicine.
  W: You know, you've been sick for over a week now. Why don't you get yourself looked at?
  Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?

20W:That was really nice of you to look over my application to graduate school. What did you think of my answer to that last question? You know, where I have to state my career goals and how I've been working towards them the past few years
   M:I think your statement is OK. But why do you mention only your course. It seems to be you should aslo describe your work experience
   Q: what does the man imply?
21M:If Jane calls, would you tell her I had to go to the newspaper office for a few minutes?
   W:OK. Should I tell her she can reach you anytime after ,say ,2'o clock?
   Q: what will the woman probably do when Jane calls?

22M:I'm sorry. Is that your coat over there? I just split coffee on it.
   W: It's no big deal. I was taking ti to the cleaner's anyway.
   Q: what can be inferred from the conversation?

23 M:I am studying biochemistry, but I wonder if that fields are already too over-crowed.
    W:I doubt it. If present trends continue, you should pretty much have your pick of jobs by the time you graduate.
    Q: what does the woman mean?

24 W: I'm on the publicity committee, for the arts school exhibition being held on Saturday .And I'm wondering you were supposed to oversee the invitation.
     M :Is this Saturday already? I've forgotten about it. But, yes I did respond that I'd be there

25M:I can't imagine that anyone would pay  7 dollars for 3 ouches of toothpaste.
   W:I guess this new toothpaste company knows something we don't. Because it sure seems to be selling.
   Q :what does the woman imply?

26 M: Don't you find professor Joson to be very intimidating? He seems so strict in class.
    W: It might be early to tell. But I hear he usually loosens up by about middle terms
    Q: what does the woman mean?

27M:It's so nice that I plan to go hiking. But there's storm warning on the radio.
    W: If I were you i would reconsider. The weather can be very changeable around here.
     Q :what does the woman imply the man should  do?

28W:Have you noticed what creative drawing Sidney makes? I'm surprised she is not interested in going into commercial art.
    M:I know. But I 'm sure she'll do well in law school too.
    Q:what can be inferred about Sidney?

29W:Excuse me. I'm trying to get to the health clinic  .But I seem to have lost my way.
  M: Sorry .This is my first day on this campus.  
  Q: What does the man imply?

            

W：So you are up to some tennis this afternoon or what?

  M:  Well, to tell you the truth, I’m not feeling so hot today.

  W:  Come on.. How long has it been since we played.

  M:  A couple of days.

  W:  A couple of days? Come on. It’s been more than a couple of days.

  M:  Yeah. I guess you’re right. It’ been almost a week .

  W:  It’s been exactly a week. And we used to play at least three times this week.

  M:  I know. Playing right after classed was something to look forward to.

  W:  Yeah. And it was right before dinner. So we build up our appetite.

  M:  I’ve just been very busy. I guess. And my stomach is bothering today.

  W:  But you look ok to me.

  M:  Well, I was up late with Steve in the library working on a project. We got to do by

tomorrow for that anthropology class. We've been working on it all weekend. And I was drinking a lot of coffee. I guess. I just drank too much.

  W:  Listen. I took that class last semester. And I could meet you in the library later tonight and help with if you want. And then you have time to play tennis this afternoon.

  M:  Yeah. I guess my stomach doesn’t hurt that bad. And I could certainly use your help. But it’s also….

  W:  Is there something else bothering you?

  M:  Well, to be honest., I’m getting tired…..losing.

31 What are the students mainly discussing?

32 When was the last time the speaker play tennis?

33 What does the man think is the reason for his stomach?

34 What does the woman offer to do for the man?

Listen to a conversation between two students.

M: How about a walk, Nancy?

W: Sure. Let’s go now before it gets dark.

M: What’s your hurry?

W: Haven’t you noticed? The street lights on campus are different. They gave off a hazy yellow glow that make some colors fade out. It is not as much fun taking an evening walk as it was before.

M: Oh, you mean the new sodium bulbs Yeah, that was in the newspaper. They make things look different alright. But they provide better visibility than regular lighting. They are tuned to the colors in which human vision is the sharpest and that section is amplified. The problem is that a lot of the colors are blocked out.

W: Well, I don’t feel comfortable when green looks like brown. Sodium bulbs might make sense for highway, though, if they really do improve visibility so much.

M: Yeah. And the interesting thing is that the new headlights on cars cancel out the adverse aspects of sodium lighting and the colors appear natural again.

W: Well, then sodium bulbs should be used only where there are a lot of cars. Why they are in places where I want to take a quiet walk? The city must be trying to save money.

M: It is. Sodium bulbs last about 7 times longer than regular bulbs. It can be that, I guess.

35 What’ the main subject of this conversation?

36.Why does the woman want to take a walk right away?

37 Why do colors appear natural at night on a highway lighted by sodium bulbs?

38 What’s one reason that sodium bulbs are being installed?

39-41

I’d like to share with you today my experience with a new approach to building a house. It’s called Envelop Building. Essentially, what it means is that as you are building a house, you try to leave the landscape feature on the land, especially the vegetation in the original condition. So what you are not doing is the usual practice of land-scraping. By which I mean literally scraping or cleaning the land of any and all the original plants. Why is the approach called Envelop Building? Because instead of clearing everything away, you let your original landscape elements envelop or surround your house. Let the vegetation physical features such as hills and slopes or interesting rock formations, constituted a significant part of the character of the building sight. The design of the house should take these features of the property into account. Actually integrating your original wild landscape with a house is not that new. The famous American architect Wright was doing it about 65 years ago. Sp we are in good company. Envelop Building is not as easy as it sounds though. It’s not just that you build your house and leave the land alone. By building, you are already damaging the original landscape. But as architects, we should try to work with environment, not against it. A creative architect can find ways to incorporate natural landscape into the overall design. For example, why used the massive boulders on the side of one of  the most famous houses as part of the house foundation?

39According to the professor, what does the term “landscaping” refer to?

40In Envelop Building, what is done with the landscape features of a building sight?

41 Why does the professor mention the architect Frank Loid Wright?

42-46

Today we are going to talk about copyrighting works of art. A copyright is a proof of authorship. It protects artists against someone else using their work without their permission. It’s important to remember that United States Copyright Law protects artistic expressions such as paintings, but does not protect any ideas, concept ,  procedure or technique. In all the United States Copyright Law, Artists needed to take several steps to obtain copyright protection. The law as changed in 1978 and again 1989. For artists the current law means everything they create is automatically and immediately copyrighted. They don’t have to file any documents and under the protection of the Copyright Law, any recreation of their original work such as prints are also covered by the artists copyright. Further more, any changes artists made to their original works are covered. The Law also makes it clear that when someone buys the work of art, they are not allowed to destroy or change that work of art. Artists keep the copyright even after selling the work of art. The purchaser may buy the physical work, but the right to make prints or copies is still the artists’ and buyers does not automatically have any right to make and sell prints or copies of work. Although works are automatically copyrighted, artists are encouraged to register their work with United States Copyright Office. Registering art provides additional legal protection and also gives the people around the world the ability to approach the honors about licensing and purchasing right.

42 What is the talk mainly about?

43 When does the Artist Copyright start?

44 What does the United States Copyright Law state about a work  of art that is sold?

45 What does the professor say about the United States Copyright Law?

46 What is an advantage of registering art with the United States Copyright Office.

47-50

  Today let’s talk about synesthesia, that’s a brain condition in which a person’s sense  are combined in a unusual ways. For example, a person synesthesia may taste sounds. To them, a musical note may taste like a picas. Many people who have synesthesia experience intense colors when they hear specific words. For example, they might see a flash of pink everytime they hear the word “jump”. For a long time, many scientists were unconvinced that synesthesia really exists. So in the 1990s an experiment was done to find our for sure. Two groups were studied. One was a group of people who claim to experience colors when they heard certain words. The other was a controlled group, people who experience nothing out of the ordinary when hearing words. Each group was asked to describe the colors they thought of when they heard a list of spoken words. When the test was repeated, the difference between the two groups was startling. After just a week, the controlled group gave the same answers only a third of the time. But even a year of a half later, the synesthetic group gave the same answers 92% of the time Clearly, this is not just a matter of memory. Scientists are still not sure just why synesthesia happens. But certain drugs are reportedly able to produce it artificially. So we all probably have brains with connections that could synesthesia. It’s just the connections normally we used in that way.

47 What’ the main purpose of the talk?

48 What’s the one example of synesthesia that the professor mentions?

49 What was the purpose of the experiment the professor mentioned

expecting us at 4. And it's almost that now.  
2．W: Congratulations! I heard about your new job.  
M: Thanks. Nearly perfect for me. It's really interesting. The hours are  
ideal and it's an easy walk from home. If only the pay were half as good  
as everything else.  
3． W: Do you know anyone who is driving to the conference in Boston  
next weekend?  
M: Pete is. I think he has room for another person.  
4．M: Did I hear you say you are using the newspaper in your political  
science class? I was wondering if when you finish it, you can pass it onto  
me?  
W: Well, we do use it in class. But I always read the copy in the library.  
5．W: I noticed you haven't been getting along well with your roommate  
lately.  
M: You got that right. And it's going to be a long time before I feel  
comfortable with him again.  
6．W: How did you ever manage to get through all 1000 pages of that new  
spy thriller?  
M: It took a while. But once I had started it, I couldn't put it down.  
7．M: Hi, XXX, how are you doing? I heard you had an operation over the  
spring break.  
W: Yes, XXX, thanks for asking. I was pretty much out of condition for a  
few weeks. Bit finally I'm back in my feet again.  
8．W: How about a little tennis? Say Saturday or Sunday?  
M: It sounds great. I could use a good workout. It seems like all I have  
been doing lately is sitting in front of this computer.  
9．W: Did you read today's newspaper? I heard there is something about  
a new wonder drug.  
M: I did read an article about medical researchers being on the verge of a  
major breakthrough.  
10.M: Where have you been? We were supposed to meet at the library half  
an hour ago.  
W: Yeah, I'm really sorry. I guess I just lost track of the time.  
11.M: I'm sorry. But you can't take your camera inside. You'll have  
to leave it here and pick it up after the concert.  
W: Well, I guess it's too late to take it back to the car. Please be  
careful with it. It belongs to my roommate. She'll never forgive me if  
anything happens to it.  
12.M: The application instructions say to enclose a check or money  
order for twenty dollars. But I don't have a checking account.  
W: You can just pick up a money order at the post office.  
13.M: You know, I really think you should run for class president.  
Everybody knows you and likes you. And you got some great ideas.  
W: Thanks. I have thought about it. I'm taking six classes and working a  
part-time job. That's about all I can handle right now.  
14.M: I'm having a few friends over for a lunch tomorrow. It'll be  
great if you can join us.  
W: I doubt I'll be able to make it. My brother is leaving for Chicago  
tomorrow afternoon. And I promised to give him a ride to the airport.  
15.W: My cousin Lisa said she mailed me some books. But they never  
came.  
M: Well, you just moved into a new dormitory. She probably sent them out  
before she had your new address.  
16.M: Excuse me. Do you have the time?  
W: Actually I'm not positive. But I'd say it's right around noon.  
17.    W: My dinner tastes kind of funny.  
M: Then why don't you have the waiter bring you something else.  
18.    W: Did Mary meet you at the airport yesterday?

19.    W: About this survey on the quality of life in the dorm. I feel sort  
of awkward because, well, I'm not rally comfortable here. Are you sure you  
want me to fill out this survey form?  
M: It's people like you who can help us target areas for improvement.  
20.    M: I'm the only one in class who didn't sign up for the biology  
trip. Slogging through a swamp in the rain can't gun fun.  
W: Nope. But I've got the feeling your classmates will come back knowing  
some things you won't know.  
21.    W: What are you watching?  
M: Some boring comedy show. But the Channel 6 news is on in a couple of  
minutes.  
22.    M: Excuse me, Professor Jones. I was absent from the first class and  
I heard that's when you handed out the course outline. Would you have an  
extra copy?  
W: I don't have anyone with me. There are a few left in my office. Why  
don't you stop by after class.  
23.    W: So, how did Jason's presentation go?

M: Actually I'm pretty new to the area.  
26.    M: Did you hear the weather report says we are going to get at least  
a foot of snow tomorrow?  
W: That much! That's incredible. I can't wait to get outside and play in  
it.  
27.    W: Growing up we never had a TV. Even now I'm not used to watching  
it much.  
M: Well, it's kind of like reading. Some things you find are great, But a  
lit are real waste of time. You have to pick and choose.  
28.    W: I live this hat. And look, it's on sale.  
M: Yes, but it doesn't do much for you. What about the green one? It's a  
little expensive. But it really looks great on you.  
29.    M: That's a really interesting shirt. Must be from your vacation.  
W: No. But you are close. My sister brought it back from Hawaii for me.  
30.    W: Your company isn't moving to the west coast after all.  
M: Well, not for the time being. But I've been looking into other  
employment opportunities here anyway. Just in case.  

31-34  
W: ok, last night you were supposed to read an article about human bones.  
Are there any comments about it?  
M: well, to begin with, I was surprised to find out there were so much  
going on in bones. I always assumed they were pretty lifeless.  
W: Well, that's an assumption many people make. But the fact is bones are  
made of dynamic living tissue that requires continuous maintenance and  
repair.  
M: Right. That's one of the things I found so fascinating about the  
article the way the bones repair themselves.  
W: Ok. So can you tell us how the bones repair themselves.  
M: Sure. See, there are two groups of different types of specialized cells  
in the bone that work together to do it. The first group goes to an area of  
the bone that needs repair. This group of cells produce the chemical that  
actually breaks down the bone tissue, and leaves a hole in it. After that  
the second group of specialized cells comes and produce the new tissue that  
fills in the hole that was made by the first group.  
W: Very good. This is a very complex process. In fact, the scientists who  
study human bones don't completely understand it yet. They are still  
trying to find out how it all actually works. Specifically, because  
sometimes after the first group of cells leaves a hole in the bone tissue,  
for some reason, the second group doesn't completely fill in the hole. And  
this can cause real problems. It can actually lead to a disease in which  
the bone becomes weak and is easily broken.  
M: ok, I get it. So if the scientists can figure out what makes the  
specialized cells work, maybe they can find a way to make sure the second  
group of cells completely fills the hole in the bone tissue every time.  
That'll prevent the disease from every occurring.  

35-38  
M: Hi Diana, mind if I sit down?  
W: Not at all, Jerry. How have you been?  
M: Good. But I'm surprised to see you on the city bus. Your car in the  
shop?  
W: No. I've just been thinking a lot about the environment lately. So I  
decided the air will be a lot cleaner if we call use public transportation  
when we could.  
M: I'm sure you are right. The diesel bus isn't exactly pollution free.  
W: True. They'll be running a lot cleaner soon. We were just talking about  
that in my environmental engineering class.  
M: What could the city do? Install pollution filters in all their buses?  
W: They could, but those filters make the engines work harder and really  
cut down on the fuel efficiency. Instead they found a way to make their  
engines more efficient.  
M: How?  
W: Well, there is a material called XXX. It's a really good insulator. And  
a think coat of it get sprayed on the certain part of the engine.  
M: An insulator?  
W: Yeah. What it does is reflect back the heat of burning fuel. So the fuel  
will burn much hotter and burn up more completely.  
M: So a lot less unburning fuel comes out to pollute the air.  
W: And the bus will need less fuel. So with the saving on fuel cost, they  
say this will all pay for itself in just six months.  
M: Sounds like people should all go out and get some this stuff to spray  
their car engines.  
W: Well, it's not really that easy. You see, normally, the materials are  
fine powder. To melt it so you can spray a coat of it on the engine parts,  
you first have to heat it over 10,000 degrees and then, well, you get the  
idea. It's not something you or I be able to do ourselves.  

31-34  
W: ok, last night you were supposed to read an article about human bones.  Are there any comments about it?

33. What does the professor say about scientists who study the specialized cells in human bones?

34. According to the student, what is one important purpose of studying specialized cells in human bones?

W: They could, but those filters make the engines work harder and really cut down on fuel efficiency. Instead they found a way to make their engines more efficient.  
M: How?  
W: Well, there is a material called the coniine oxide. It's a really good insulator. And a thick coat of it get sprayed on the certain part of the engine.  
M: An insulator?  
W: Well, yeah. Actually, what it does is reflect back the heat of burning fuel. So the fuel will burn much hotter and burn up more completely.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Alice Brown. As you know, we hold a series of events during the school year on various culture topics. I am happy there's such a large crowd of both students and professors, that's it, the second of our time, our city art presentation this year. I see that almost every seat is taken. Tonight, we are lucky to have our guest, the man of considerable fame in the world of music. He began to play the piano at age of 5, by the time he was 10, he was already composing in playing his own pieces. He's a graduate of the famous Juliet School in New York City. Our guest has spent at least 45 years of his very successful career touring the world playing in concert. We are fortunate that he's consented to come share some of his experiences with us. He has had many adventures along the way, lost instruments, miss connections, no hotel room, locked concert halls, and so on. He's played for all of the well-known conductors, not only in North America but all over the world. The title of his talk is the country tour 40 years on 4 continents. Please join me in welcoming Mr. Daniel Robinson, one of the foremost pianists of our day.

39. What is the main purpose of Dean Brown's remarks?

40. Why does Dean Brown feel pleased?

41. When did the pianist begin to play his own composition?

42. What will the pianist mainly do?

      Let's turn our focus now to advertising. We all know what an advertisement is, it's essentially a message that announces something for sale. Now, there is an important precondition that must exist before you have advertising, and that's a large supply of consumer goods, that is, things to sell. You see, in the place with a demand for a product is greater than the supply, there's no need to advertise. Now, the early form of advertising going back many hundreds of years with a simple sign there were shop doors that told you whether the shop was a bakery, a butcher shop or what have you, then was the advent of the printing crest. Advertising increased substantially as for products like coffee, tea, and chocolate appeared in newspapers and another periodicals as well as on the side of the buildings. In the American colonies, advertising in communication's media like newspapers and pamphlets became a major factor in marketing goods and services. By modern standards, these early advertisements were quite small and subdue, not the splash sheet whole page spreads of today, still some of them appeared on the front page of newspapers, probably because the news often consist of less and fresh reports from distant Europe, for the ads were current or local. Advertising really came into its own and became a central part of doing business, during the industry revolution, suddenly there was a much greater supply of things to sell. And as we said earlier, that is the driving force behind advertising. People's attention had been drawn to the new product. Let's take a look at some of the advertisements from that time.

   We know then that in the US, it's the job of Congress to review propose new laws, which we call bills, and perhaps to modify these bills and then wrote on them. But even if the bill passed in Congress, it still doesn't become a law until the president had a chance to review it too. And if it's not to the president's liking, the bill can be vetoed or killed in either of two ways. One is by a veto message. The president has ten days to veto the bill by returning it to Congress, along with the message explaining why it's being rejected. This keeps the bill from becoming a law unless overwhelming majorities of both houses of Congress vote to over-right the president's veto. Something they really do. Often, lawmakers simply revised the vetoed bill and passed it again. This time, in the form the president less likely to object to, and us less likely to want to veto. The other way the president can kill a bill is by pocket veto. Here's what happen. If the president doesn't sign the bill within ten days, and Congress are jurors during that time, then the bill will not become law. Notice that is only the end of entire session of Congress that the pocket veto can be used, not just whenever Congress take the shorter break, say, for a summer vacation, after a pocket veto, that particular bill is dead. If a lawmaker in Congress want to push the matter in their next session, they'll have to start all over with a brand new version of the bill.

47. According to the speaker, what does the veto message explain?

48. According to the speaker, what do lawmakers often do after a veto message is issued?

W: Hi, Mark, I didn't know you could paint.
M: Well, I'm just learning. it's for my studio art one of one class.
W: It's pretty good for a beginner.
M: Oh thanks, Judy. The instructor really liked my schedules, but she hasn't seen my painting yet.
W: En, there seems to be something wrong with it though.
M: Yeah, I know what you mean. It doesn't look like to me either.
W: I think I know, look here at the sky, it just seems to filled in with other colors of paining.
M: What do you mean? Everyone knows the sky is blue.
W: Well, that depends. Sometime it is and sometime it isn’t, as sunset can be full of reds and purples. Well, even now, look at now Mark, what do you see?
M: It looks blue to me.
W: Look again. do you see a kind of tallish color?
M: Oh yeah, I see what you mean.
W: By adding some tan to your sky, I think you'll get more actual picture, and the color will look more natural.
M: I think I'll try that. Gee, how do you get to know so much about paining? Have you taken a lot of courses?
W: No, actually. But my father is an artist.
M: A professional artist?
W: Oh yeah. He shows his stophin lots of exhibits, everything is when we were kids; he always talks to us about his work.
M: I wish we could talk some more Judy. How about going for a cup of coffee? I’m ready for a break.
W: I'd love to. but I have to study for a history exam. In fact, I was just on my way to the study group, and I think I am already late. Maybe tomorrow?
M: Great, I'll meet you at the students’ center after my class. a little after three, OK?
W: Sounds good. Get around now.
M: Bye, Judy.
31, What are the speakers mainly discussing?
32, What is the man doing?
33, What does the woman suggest the man do?
34, How did the woman learn about painting?
35, What does the woman plan to do next?

36-39 listen to a conversation between two students. They are discussing material from US history class. 36-39,....stuff you missed...
pulled along by horses
M: Hey Teresa! thanks for agreeing to help me review all this history material.
W: No problem, Bob. So do you want to start with the stuff missed yesterday? They are part about urban problems in the colonial period?
M: Yeah, that'll be great.
W: Ok. Well, when the British were building cities in American colonies, they had to figure out how to make the cities run smoothly, right? Like...take traffic for instance.
M: Traffic? They had traffic that then?
W: Well, not the same kinds of traffic cities have today. Back in 18th centenary there were not any automobiles like there are now. But there were other vehicles like coaches and cars, you know, the kind had been pulled by horses say. Only few people could afford to have their own coaches then. but there were more and more public coaches. And cars, they were a big problem cause car driver usually overloaded their cars. And these oversize clumsy cars would slow down the traffic, and when you added to that all the farm animals.
M: Farm animals? In the cities?
W: Lots of them, cattle, pigs and other live stuck rolls in the streets. And they really caused trouble, although the pigs at least had good reasons for being their.
M: They did?
W: Yeah, the town's people used pigs to clean up the garbage that was thrown into the streets. But then the pig interfered with traffic.
M: So what do the colonists do?
W: Well, they passed traffic laws. Like one that said, if your animals were found wondering in the street, they could be seized. Of course people who owned pigs didn't want to keep them penned up because the pigs were so good at cleaning up the streets.
M: Sounds like a good idea letting them clean up the garbage. But I cannot see how pigs lying around in the streets could really slow down the traffic.

36, What is the main topic of the conversation?
37, According to the conversation, how did colonists try to make traveling in cities easier?
38, Why were cars consider the problem in colonial towns?
39, According to the conversation, what did colonial town's people do to clean their streets?

Part C
40-43, listen to part of the talk in a Geography class.
Not long ago, some of you may have read about the team of mountain climbing scientists who helped to recalculate the elevation of the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest(珠穆朗玛峰). Of cause the elevation of Mount Everest was determined many years ago using traditional surveying methods. But these scientists wanted to make a more precise measurement, using a new method that takes advantage of recent advances in technology; it’s called the Global Positioning System. The Global Positioning System uses 24 satellites that circle the earth. Each of the satellites is constantly sending out signals, and each signal contains important information that can be used to determine the longitude, latitude and elevation at any point on the earth's surface. Well in order to use the system to calculate amount of Everest’s elevation. Scientists need to put a special receiver on the summit to receive signals from the satellites. The problem with this was that in the past, the receivers were much too heavy for climbers to carry. But now these receivers have been reduced to about the size and weight of a hand-held telephone, so climbers were able to take the receiver to the top of the Everest, and from there, to access the satellite system signals that would allow them to determine the precise elevation. And it turns out that the famous peak is actually a few feet higher than us previously thought.

40, What is the talk mainly about?
41, Why does the speaker mention a hand-held telephone?
42, According to the talk, what probably contributed most to the success of the new study of Mount Everest?
43,In the study described, how were satellite signals used?

Human population near the equator have evolved dark skin over many generations
because of exposure to the fiercest rays of the sun. A similar phenomenon has
also occurred in other parts of the animal kingdom. The African grass mouse is
a good example. Most mice are nocturnal, but the African grass mouse is active
during daylight hours. This means that it spends its days searching for food in
the semi-dry bush in squired habitats of eastern and southern Africa. Its furry
stripe''''s like a chipmunk''''s, which helps it blend in with its environment.

Because it spends a lot of time in the intense tropical sun, the grass mouse has
also evolved two separate safeguards against the sun''''s ultraviolet radiation.
First, like the population of humans in this region of the world, the skin of the
grass mouse contains lots of melanin, or dark pigment. Second and quite unusual,
this mouse has a layer of melanin pigmented tissue between its skull and skin.
This unique cap provides an extra measure of protection for the grass mouse and
three other types of African mouse, like rodents that are active during the day.
The only other species scientists have identified with the same sort of skull of
that occasion is the white camp-making bat of the Central American tropic.
Although these bats sleep during the day, they do so curled up with their head
exposed to the sun.

44. What is the speaker mainly discussing?

45. What is unusual about the head of African grass-mouse?

46. Why do XXXX-making beds need protection from the sun''s rays?

1.       Do you think we should make reservations for dinner tonight?

I doubt we’ll need one, Lusia seems to be one of those places that is only crowded on weekends.

2.       Did you realize that our meeting this afternoon was supposed to be for 2:15, not 2:30.

I’m really sorry. I think my watch has been running slow. I’m going to do something about it soon.

3.       I’m really disappointed; there are a couple of required courses I have to take before I can take the history class I’m interested in.

Don’t be disappointed yet. You may be able to get special permission from the professor.

4.       Do you know who won the baseball game?

They had to postpone it because of the rain. It’s been rescheduled for next week.

5.       Hi, I hope you can help me, I need the 2^nd edition of United States’ government for my class on Monday afternoon, but I only see the 1^st edition on the shelf and I’ve already checked other book stores around here.

Yes, some one else had asked me about the book earlier. I called the warehouse and they’re shipping copies to us, we should have them Monday morning.

6.       I’ll never catch up in my classes after being at sick all last week. It took me over 3 hours just to do last night’s assignment. Maybe I’ll need a tutor.

Sounds like you could use one.

7.       I’m still not sure which brand of ice cream I should buy.

Oh, not that one, it’s cheaper but these other brand taste much better.

8.       Losing the championship must have been a big disappointment to the players on our volleyball team.

Yeah, but they really played their hearts out. They are still champions in my book.

9.  Hey, did you hear that they’re going to raise the dorm fees again.

   Really? Am I glad I decide to move off campus?

10.   Do you have any idea why David wants to see me tomorrow? Is he having problems with his accounting project?

Yeah, he’s been struggle with it from day one and I’m told you’re an expert on that stuff.

11.   I have to borrow enough money to buy a plane ticket. My archaeology class is taking a future trip to Alaska and I may never get another chance like this.

Look, when push comes to show, the people you can rely on most are your family.

12.   I’ve been in a library studying all day. What do you say to a walk around Grain Lake?

I’ve got to go to the computer lab. Can I take a ring check?

13.   Hey, it was great to see you at the French club meeting yesterday. You know we could really use your help getting ready for the activity’s affair.

I don’t know. I don’t really have that much extra time.

14.   Do you mind if I put on some music? It helps me relax while I’m studying.

Well, en, do you have to? I’m having a hard time concentrating on this chapter as it is.

15.   I’m pretty confident the company where I worked the passed 2 summers will hire me full time after graduation.

Well, just in case that it doesn’t work out, career’s service is having a work shop on campus next Thursday on applying for a job. They have one here last year, and I know a lot of people find it helpful.

16.   I washed this sweater according to the directions on the label and look what happen to it.

It could be a manufactures’ defect, we’ll exchange it for you.

17.   I was wandering if you wanna to join my parents and me for dinner Friday night.

I won’t miss it for the words.

18.   Thanks for lending me your history notes. They were really very helpful. Can I ask you for a few questions about it, though.

Sure, but could we make it for tomorrow. I have a report to finish before my 2 o’clock class and I’m running behind.

19.   Are you going to spend your vacation in New York again this summer?

Actually I’ve got a different destination in mind this year.

20.   I can’t believe how much that student who was just in here looks like you. She could be your daughter.

I know, people are always assuming that we’re related.

21.   I just realize my telephone isn’t working and I’m just expecting for an important phone call in a few minutes.

Well, you can use my phone to make a call to the phone company, but it looks like there’s not much that can be done about the one you’re expecting.

22. I was in line for 2 hours today waiting to drop a class.

Not me, when I saw the line snarling around the building, I said no, I’ll just try tomorrow.

23.   Could you take a look at my printer? It doesn’t seem to be working.

I can’t offer to se up this new one. Just give me a few minutes, OK?

24.   Did you bring your blue and yellow sweater for me to wear at the game today. You know I like to wear school colors at these games.

Oh, I know I’ve forgot something and it’s too fatigual to get back. Will my yellow scarf do?

25.   The doctor says I’ve to cut down on fattening foods. All the ones I like..

So that explains your mood.

26.   I missed the election returns on TV last night. What was the outcome?

You remember last time when C B won easily, well, this time he barely won.

27.   Excuse me, I bought the wrong math book a couple of weeks ago. Here is the receipt. Can I get my money back?

Oh, I’m sorry not after 10 days, but you can still exchange it for something else.

28.   I just got back from the new art gallery downtown. Have you seen their collection yet?

It’s a lot smaller than what I was expecting, but what they do have is impressive.

29.   I’m sorry Bob, I wouldn’t invite you over to eat lunch with us, but we’re in the middle of working on a math problem.

Oh, I can understand. Anyway, I can tell you’re working.

30.   I just wrote the speech for the election. You know, I’m running for a class president. I was wandering if you would mind looking it over.

Hey, what a friend’s for?

-Excuse me, I’ve been using this old book for a research project and I noticed that a lot of pages are turning brown and becoming brittle.

-Yes, unfortunately, that’s a common problem with books made from wood pulp.

-I suppose to make paper from wood that you have to add a lot of chemicals and acids to make it turn white.

-Exactly and it’s the acid that eventually eats away the paper.

-Oh, that actually make sense, but this book’s not even 75 years old and I’ve seen books in museum that are hundreds of years old and they’re in fine condition.

-Well, you see, books have been made from wood pulp only since 1850’s, before that they were made from materials mostly animals’ skins or C, no chemicals were added.

-It’s a shame those older wood pulp books are going to fall apart some day. Is there anything that can be done to preserve them.

-En, currently the only way to stop the books from decaying is to remove the binding and treat each page individually to remove the acid.

-That doesn’t sound very economical.

-No, it isn’t. It’s not practical to treat a large number of books with this process, so we only try to rescue the most valuable 1^st edition books in our collection.

-Well, thanks for the explanation. I’d better get back to my project.

-Good luck, and I hope the old book hold long enough for you to finish it.

31.   What are the speakers mainly discussing?

32.   According to the man, why do modern books decay?

33.   What does the man say about books published before 1950?

34.   What does the man say is a drawback to the process of restoring books?

35.   What will the women probably do next?

OK, as you all know, tomorrow we’re be going to the museum to see a special exhibit of screemshore carvings. So today, I’d like to take a few minutes to talk about the article on screemshore you read for today’s class. Let me start by asking exactly what is screemshore?

Well, basically it’s a kind of artwork that was done by sailors on whaling ships. When there weren’t any whales around, there might not be much for the sailors to do and they often get pretty bored. So to entertain themselves, they started carving stuff on whale bones and whale teeth.

OK, so basically the term screemshore refers to the artwork that sailors created. Usually out of whale bones and whale teeth. Can you give me an example or something that sailors might have carved.

Well, for one thing, I remember reading that they carved things that could be used around house, you know, cooking and sowing utensils, that kind of stuff.

Good.

You know, I noticed from the pictures in the article that some of the carvings have really detailed images on them, like they have some pretty sophiscated pictures of famous people and historical themes and stuff like that. And I was wandering just how they did that.

That’s a very good question and it brings us your assignment for tomorrow. While at the museum, I’d like each of you to take some notes on the various technique used in making screemshore. So that we can discuss them when we come back to class.

36.   What is the purpose of the discussion?

37.   From what material dose screemshore usually made?

38.   According to the discussion, why did sailors begin making screemshore?

39.   According to the discussion, what was done with the screemshore objects?

A lot of people think that cultural anthropology is just about studying the special and strange aspects of a society, but anthropologists are also interested in the aspects of life that seems so ordinary that the people in the society think they’re not significant. Let me give you an example, I see lots of T-shirts here in class today, but you probably don’t think of them as an important part of your culture, but anthropologists could learn a lot about the culture of the US just by studying the T shirt. For one thing, T shirts are a mark of how casual clothing has become in America. No one was quite sure where they came from, but the T shirt first become popular in this country as an under shirt for sellers in the 1940s. Then in the 1950s, it became a sign of rebellion for teenagers to wear this white under shirt by itself, not under anything. By the 1960s and 70s, T shirts have become accepted as part of the uniform views. You could even say that they came symbolized that generation’s attitude towards informality and all thing, including dress. On another aspect that anthropologists would find interesting is that T shirts are used to express personal opinions. Look around this room, you know who likes watch TV show, who went where on vacation, who belongs to what organizations on campus. All of these aspects of our culture are printed on your T shirts. OK, I want to stop for a minute and ask you to try to write down five different conclusions you could reach about American culture from just the T shirts in this classroom.

40.   What is the speaker’s mainly discussing?

41.   Why does the speaker use T shirts as her example?

42.   Why does the speaker mention what is printed on certain T shirts?

43.   What does the speaker ask the students to write down next?

Finally there is one more element to business success that we haven’t talked about. I know what you think I’m going to say, luck and you’re partially right. Good entrepreneurs know how to make their own luck and that means being in the right place at the right time with the right product. Let me give you a little example, early in this century, if you’re a traveler by train and subway and you happen to get a little thirsty in the station, where would you go for some water? There were no big soda machine at every corner or even drinking fountains, yet there were thousands of thirsty travelers out there, well, what they did was drank water out of one little tin cup that was passed from one thirsty commuter to the next. That’s right, everybody drank out of the same cup, and you can bat it didn’t get washed after every user. Will, that was the right time for the right product and there was a man who had it. His name is H M and his product was the disposable paper cup. He came up with it just as the nation was becoming concerned about their health risks associated with the tin cups. Laws were passed outlying the things; reports were published showing just what sorts of germs can be passed around from sharing them. Mr. M road that way to become the best known producers of one of the most successful paper products of all time. He originally called his product health cups, but later changed the nature, so can anyone guess what that name might be?

44.   What general topic has the class been discussing?

45.   In the earlier 20^th century, what did train travelers do when they got thirsty?

46.   What is the purpose of the professor’s story?

A number of insects rely on leaping or jumping as a way of escaping from enemies. Grosshoppers probably have the most remarkable jumping ability of all these insects. If we think of it in human terms, a grosshopper’s high jump is like a human jumping over a five story building. Imagine that a person jumping over a five story building. Well, we’ll take a look at the structure of grosshopper’s leg to see why it’s able to jump so well, but first I wanna talk about the sensory organ that tells grosshoppers when to jump in the first place. En, OK, a grosshopper has two sensory organs located at the end of its abdomen. Whenever these organs sense of change in air pressure which might be produced by an enemy approaching, and impulses transmitted to the legs, this first impulse deactivates the nerves that control normal working and sets the grasshopper’s jumping muscles into a sort of pre-jumping position. Now at this point, if the sensory organs don’t detect additional air pressure changes, the jumping muscles relax and a grosshopper goes back to its normal walking, but if the organs continue to send danger, another set of impulses put the jumping muscles in motion. The distance of the jumping is determined by just how many impulses are transmitted in the second set, the more impulse the longer the jump. OK now let’s see why the grosshopper can jump so far. Open your books at the part of that muscle structure of the grasshopper’s leg. I think it’s in chapter 9.

47.   Whet does the professor mainly discuss?

48.   Why does the professor mention a five story building?

49.   What is the function of the sensory organs that the professor discusses?

According to the professor, what determines the distance of a grosshopper’s jump?

1.       Do you think we should make reservations for dinner tonight?

I doubt we’ll need one, Lusia seems to be one of those places that is only crowded on weekends.

2.       Did you realize that our meeting this afternoon was supposed to be for 2:15, not 2:30.

I’m really sorry. I think my watch has been running slow. I’m going to do something about it soon.
