TPO 17
The listening and reading passages discuss the issue of population of birds. The reading material outlines three reasons of decline of bird’s number, which are contradicted by the lecture.

To begin with, the professor makes the point that human's activities actually increase the number of habitats of birds. Because urbanites go to the city. Also, some birds may decrease, but others will increase. On the contrary, the writer demonstrates that with the extension of human, the number of birds will be small. Therefore, the lecture casts about the reading.

In addition, another important point showed in the listening material is that agriculture cannot result in destruction of birds. First, because less and less field will be used to agriculture in American these years. Second, increase of crops result in increasing of habitats of birds. However, the writing presents a conflicting idea that population of birds will be smaller and smaller with the agriculture of human. On this point, the lecture refutes the reading.

In the finally, the speaker states that new means of pesticide will not harm to birds. There are two changes of pesticides. One is that new ingredients are not harmful to birds. The other is that new genes of crops can prevent insect at the same may not harm birds. This point challenges the standpoint made by the author who says that chemical pesticides lead birds to death and decline of birds will continue. Accordingly, the lecture is opposite of the reading.

In a word, the professor doubts about decline of number of birds, as the author believe.


Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is more important for the government to spend money on art museums and concert halls than on recreational facilities such as swimming pools and playgrounds.

Coincident with concerns about artistic and cultural projects has been the improvement of people's living standard over the recent years. Nowadays, People in growing numbers are beginning to believe that art museums and concert halls should be built by the government in order to provide people with more opportunities of appreciating art. As for me, I am in favor of this point In respect that artistic and cultural projects not only broaden our view and knowledge but also cultivate our character and personality.

First of all, it is commonly acknowledged that art museums are full of various rarities and precious objects. By inviting the museum, people can learn more about historic and cultural knowledge. For instance,
my classmate, Litong, who liked art and music in the university, always went to all types of museum in leisure time. I pretty amaze that he knows a large number of knowledge about far old history and culture of different regions. Also, listening to the music is a good way for us to relax.

Moreover, no one can deny the basic fact that art has become an indispensable part of life, which contributes greatly to enhancement of quality of people. With the cultivation of art, people can feel the same world from another angle. A recent investigation by Chinese Academic of Science shows that the more developed the countries are, the more art museum and music halls are. Experts in art point out that it is an effective way of developing and cultivating personality and quality o f people for a country.

Considerable though advantages that recreational facilities such as swimming pools and playgrounds enjoys are, they cannot compete with the benefits that art museums and concert halls bring about, when far-reaching development of society is taken into deliberation.
It must be admitted that sports facilities exerts extremely positive effects on people physical health. Large amounts of people tend to have a favorable attitude toward recreation facilities. Unfortunately, they seem to fail to take into account the essential fact that there are already enough facilities in the city and people have more ways to exercise their fitness other than outdoor sports.

From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that artistic and culture projects, involved in art museum and concert halls should be invested more money, when compared with recreation projects. From my perspective, proper measures should be taken to increase the investment of art projects and great efforts should be made to guide local government in building a whole outlook toward art.
