The reading and lecture both discuss the Chaco great houses. While the reading states the three competing theories about the use of these structures, the professor believes these are just utterly false and without merit.
It is mentioned in the passage that the Chaco were big apartments housing hundreds of people. The professor, however, declares that the primary function could not be residential. He points out that every family should have a fireplace for cooking but there have only few ones, which is just not enough.
The next view made by the reading is that the great houses were used to store food supplies. But the professor demurs about these idea. According to him, more traces of maize or big maize containers should remain if the houses were used for storage.
Finally, to counter the assertion that the great houses were ceremonial centers, the professor mentions the mound closed to Pueblo Alto. It contains lots of other materials that people would not expect from ceremonies. The professor declares that this fact suggests that the mound is just a trash heap of construction material and could not be used for special ceremonies.
In conclusion, the reading gives three theories to describe the use of the great housed; however, the professor refutes these conjectures and provides his own proofs of this very fact.
The reading and lecture both discuss the Chaco great houses. While the reading states the three competing theories about the use of these structures, the professor believes these are just utterly false and without merit. It is mentioned in the passage that the Chaco (单复数考虑一下) were big apartments housing (for)hundreds of people. The professor, however, declares that the primary function could not be residential. He points out that every family should have a fireplace for cooking but there have only few ones, which is just (delete just) not enough. The next view made by the reading is that the great houses were used to store food supplies. But the professor demurs about these idea. According to him(according to his viewpoint), more traces of maize or big maize containers should remain if the houses were used for storage. (点都说到了,散落的玉米和放玉米的容器) Finally, to counter the assertion that the great houses were ceremonial centers, the professor mentions the mound closed to Pueblo Alto. It contains lots of other materials that people would not expect from ceremonies. The professor declares that this fact suggests that the mound is just a trash heap of construction material and could not be used for special ceremonies.(写的真好) In conclusion, the reading gives three theories to describe the use of the great housed; however, the professor refutes these conjectures and provides his own proofs of this very fact.
The reading and the lecture both discuss the communal online encyclopedias. The reading passage gives credence to the claim that these new encyclopedias are not as useful as traditional ones because of some important problems; meanwhile, the professor provides evidences contrary to this assertion.
It is mentioned in the passage that the encyclopedias online may have some errors. The professor, however, declares that even traditional encyclopedias can hardly expect to be perfectly accurate. She points out that it is online encyclopedias that make it easy for errors in factual materials to be corrected in time.
The nest view made by the reading is that the online encyclopedias are just easily hacked into by some malicious users. But the professor demurs about this idea. According to her, two strategies have already been developed to protecting the articles. One is to put the crucial facts in the articles with a read only format that no one can make changes to, and the other is to have special editors to keep a lookout over the articles.
Finally, to counter the assertion that the online encyclopedias create a false impression of what is important, the professor claims that the problem is just that traditional encyclopedias have limited space so that they should decide what is important. What is more, the judgments that make these decisions do not reflect the great range of interests that people really have. So the professor declares that the diversity of use in topics is actually one of the online encyclopedias’ great advantages.
In conclusion, the reading strongly believes that online encyclopedias are much less valuable than traditional ones; however, the professor refutes these evidences and provides her own proofs of this very fact.

What is more, the judgments that make these decisions do not reflect the great range of interests that people really have.（好吧，看到这发现你说完了~） So the professor declares that the diversity of use(删除) in topics is actually one of the online encyclopedias’ great advantages.（great advantages of online encyclopedias）
