It is about a woman named Carrie who leaves yore country home to () living in Chicago and New York.W: Oh, Ive studied theatre of Dreiser. His work is a little depressing, but I like him, even though his characters always get in trouble. He treats some with sympathy. How do you like Sister Carrie? M: Its not what I expected. On the back covering says the book created a lot of controversy when it was first published in 1900. It even says the publish was dropped from the market after only 500 copies were sold. But I dont see why.W: Well. The novel might not be shocking by our standard but it sure created a disturbance then. Think about what Carrie does. She leaves yore country home and gets call-up and some personal scandals in the city. Now most of the other authors of that time would punish the character to provide a moral lesson, but Dreiser has Carrie become a successful actor at the end.M: Wow, that puts the story in a different perspective. (.) Dreiser must have been discouraged when the publish took off from the market. W: He sure ws. He started writing fictions for a while and did work as a journalist then an editor. M: Well, how did the book become recognized?W: Some British reviewers praised the novel and then another publisher released it in 1907.

Whod like to summarize first? Yes, Lisa.W:Well, first of all, you said that new borns only make rudimentary vocalizations because the voice box isnt in position for speech yet. But that at about three month of age baby starts to utter the first sounds that resemble language sounds. The sounds of consonants like k and g.M: Thats right. And after this stage come the meaning of symlobols, a consonant followed by a vowel. For example, the dada sound. And the next stage comes a real breakthrough. Can you tell us about that, Lisa.W: Well, between six months and one year of age, babies begin to associate sounds with meaning. So, when you say dog, they know youre referring to the four-leg animal that is their house pet. At this stage they start to build a vocabulary. And in a matter of month they are learning ten to twenty new words a day. This vocabulary growth continues until elder lessons.M: Right. and is it amazing that by the time children are two or three years old they are stringing sentences together? Certainly no one would dispute that children had a dramatic capacity for learning language, what linguists are trying to determine is how this language acquisiton takes place.34. What is the class mainly discussing?35. Why does the student mention the sound k and g?36. According to the student, why are the news born not able to make language like sounds?37. According to the discussion, when the vocabulary growth first starts to increase dramatically?38.

In general, they used courier who memories or messages. Among some peoples, the Iroquois and the Algonquins for example, messagers also used to code based on strings of beads. The beads were called wanpen and the color of the beads signify the message. For instance, white beads were used for news of peace, prosperity, or good will. Purple beads meant war, disarster, or death. The couriers also carried messages for early European explorers and missionaries. One Jewish missionary described in history (.s) how a courier memorized 20 different detailed turns actions delivered them to () and then returned with exact what price to each. He had travelled 800 miles round trip. Sometimes the messages were written, not oral and will be passed from one courier to another. When one messager arrived the edge of his tribes territory, he would sell the letter to the next messager, ususlly at the profit. If the letter passed through many hands before reaching the receiving end, the final bill could be very expensive.39. What is the main topic of the talk?40. What would cause a letter expensive to receive?41. What event would probably be symbolled by a purple wanpen bead?Question 42-46Listen to a talk at the campus bird-watchers clubWeve talked before about using special plantings, water, and feeders to attract birds to your garden. This afternoon Id like to tell you about a less wellknown way to attract birds. Its by putting out eggshells. Many birds eagerly consume them. Perhaps it is a mass of replacing culch and lost by females and (), though I have seen males eat the shells too. Anyway, I have had at least eight different species of birds come to eat the eggshells. Here is how its done. You should save your eggshells in winstonman water, then cook them lightly on the baking pan in the oven; set at a low temperature until they are dry but not brown. This stylizes them and makes them brittle. You can quantle them into bisides to pieces and spread them on the ground a rock or a bird seater. You may find them so popular you want to go to your favorite resteraunt to ask for more eggshells.42. What is the talk mainly about?43. Why are the birds attracted to eggshells?44. How are the eggshells prepared?45. How does the preparation process affect the shells?46. What can be inferred about the woman?Question 47-50Listen to part of a talk in the geology classLast week when we talked about landslides, we looked at what causes these huge masses of earth to move down the natural incline such as a mountainside or slope with such distructive force. Now when these landslides occur in populated areas, what can humans do to avoid or minimize damage? Basicly there are three things that can be done. The first thing is to
