anatomy the brain
listen to part of a lecture in antonatomy(antomy) class
I('ve) brought (in) a picture of a human brain today, which we are going to look at and discuss in detail. The parts of brain (that) we are going to talk about are clearly labeled(labelled). The brain is like our command center for all our (daily) functions and allow us to coupe(cope) with our environment. How we communicate with words, actions, thoughts, and feelings are all settled(centered) in the brain. Some researchers believe that the brain is so complex and mysterious that we will never be able to fully understand it. Some have even referred to it as a little "black box" like those found on the plane, which(that) contains(contain) all the critical and highly confidential information of the flight. That is being said, there are parts of the brain we do know about like the parts listed on the diagram. And we also know their functions, that each brain(bring to)  makes(make) our bodis work. It's easy for us (easiest)to think there are (of brain as) three connected parts----the ceriey bone(cerebrum), brain  stan(brainstem) and seribalam(cerebellum).
Let's start (off) with the brain stan,which is bound with ( found at the bottom of) the brain and join(s) the cerien bone to the spinal core(cord). The brain stan has a very important role, because it controls lots of critical functions, including respiration, regulation of a heart rythm(s), basic aspect(s) of sound localization, which allows us to identify the origion of the(a) detected sound, and reflexes. As you can see on the diagram, the brain stan includes the mid-brain, the pounds(pons), and ejula(medulla). These allows the functions such as the move(ment) of our eyes and mouth, passing on sensary(sensory) messages like hot, pain, lound and other functions such as hunger, conciousness,  body temp(e)rature, sneezing, coughing, bomoning(vomiting) and swallowing.
Next, we will look at the second large(st) part of the brain, the seribalam. It was (is) located at the lower back of the head, and it(is) attaches (attached) to the brain stan. It was (is) made up with two hemispheres and its functions are to control complex aolentear (voluntary motor)functions, such as walking, balance and poster (posture) .
The third and largest part of our brain is the cerial bone. Its associations are concious thought, movement, and sensations such as touch, vision, hearing, judgement, reasoning, problem-solving and emotions. It is made up with two halfs(halves), which (with) each half controls (controlling) the opposite side of the body. The copers collersum (corpus callosum) connect(s) the two halfs and diliver(s) messages between them. There are four lopes (lobes) that make up the cerien bone, the frontal, temperal(temporal), perimental(parietal) and oxipital.(occipital) The frontal lope is located in the front of the head, and (is) involves(involved) personality, charateristics and movement. The perimental lope is the middle part of the brain, and helps (you) to identify objects and understand spacial(spatial) relationships like where your body is compared to the objects around you, it also helps to make meaning of pain and touch of (in) the body. The oxipital lope allows you to see, and is located at the back of the brain. Finally, the temperal lope a(s)sists with the memory, speach and sense of smell.and is found on the sides of the brain.
The average weight of the adult human brain is (anywhere) between one and one point five kilograms. Somebody (some people) says (say) that we only use ten percent of our brain. But this is just a myth. In fact, we use our entire brain. That being said, we can claim that most people only use a very small fraction of the cogative(cognitive) potential of their brain. Different cultures have used several methods to improve their cogative potential, such as reading, education, puzzle solving and critical thinking.
I hope this brief introduction to the brain helps you understanding the brain and its different functions.

now get ready to answer the questions.
you may use your notes to help you answer

Which of the following is not included in the three main parts of the brain?

what is the function of the copersomclosum?

what percentage of the brain does human being use?

Geology-soil survey
Listen to part of a lecture in a geology class
Today we are going to study a life-giving resource called soil. Soil is a(our) most valuable resource as it provides some(a) means of growing foods and fiber not to mention the fact that it provides the foundations of(for) homes, malls, factories, schools, airports, roads and playgrounds.
Wow, I have no idea how it is important in our daily lives.
You are telling me. Are there any other questions before we get started?
I have one, is all soil the same?
Excellent question. The individual properties of soil very(vary) quite a bit as do its resources to use it depending on the factors that contribute to developing it. First, we need to understand what makes up different kinds of soil and what the proper use of management of the soil is. We can do this by taking a soil survey.
A soil survey?
Yes, a professional soil scientist will examine the soil resources acre-by-acre on foot, and will look up(at) the soil in detail to classify it into different groups, in accordance with the(a) national soil system. Then the location of each different kind of soil is drawn by photographs taken (above ground) and place(d) on the(a) map of the area. Each (of the) different type(s) of soil is intyperred(interpreted) according to how (it) we'll(will) act in response to the very(various) use(s) of(and) management. Upon completion, these soil maps are published by the local government, and make available to interesting(interested) people such as homoners(homeowners) and farmers.
What will each publication or description say about the different types of soil?
Well, the publication will contain the most recent information, with aerial photos such as descriptions of all the soils mapped in the given area. These descriptions include soil that is useful for both agriculture and non-agricultural purposes. As well as data that is classified as important soils of the area and their physical, chemical and mineralogical make-up.
I can see that the need of farmers and homeowners have for the(this) information, because they want to know what the soil will be best to build a house or farm on. Farmers also need to know which soil will support a certain type of crop, and to find out the different types of varigation(irrigation) systems they should set up, however, who else will find this information useful?
Good point, these surveys are extremely useful for non-agricultural purposes as well. For example, the information gather(ed) can be uses(used) by planners for selecting sites for new highways, airports, schools, factories, parks, cemitories(cemeteries), regravation(recreational) areas, to name of you(a few). Engineers and architects will find the information useful when determining what type of soil is best for building and developing and can help prepare plans to overcome many soil-related problems by giving them permanent problem areas. Appraisers and decisors(assessors) will use the information to make fair and reasonable land estimates for forests and farmland. the colleges(Ecologists) and environmentalists can also use the information to understand a(nd) plan (the best ways) to(for) managing, and with the(conserving the) soil (and water) resources. Even educators such as teachers and professors can use the soil information in the classroom to pass on this knowledge to the students so they have a better understanding of the soil and its management. As you can see, soil is critical for almost every thing we do, and needs to be better appreciated.

Anthropology
Today I would like to discuss any interesting group of some nomadic people called the Gypsies. A roaming cultural group called the Dom, live(led) their lives in India, and nowadays has been become known as the Gypsies. Through recording dating from its far back as the 6th century, we know that the Dom perform(ed) very specialized jobs, such as basket making, medal(metal) working and fortune telling by travelling a circuit through several small villages each year.
The word Gypsy can be found in several other languages such as German, French, Italian and Hungarian. Currently, the earliest recording of Gypsy in Europe, dated 1068, were founded in a monastery in Greece. (These recording document events took place in Constantinople in the year 1050. For the next 200 years, the Gypsies wandered southwest into Arabia and North Africa, northwest into the Byzantine Empire and finally established themselves in the southern Balkan countries such as Serbia, Moldavia, Bulgaria and Hungary before 1300. After Kublai Khan's death in 1294, the Mongolian Empire begain its decline and the borders began to move east, thereby reducing pressure on Europe and allowing the Gypsies to expand more rapidly than the previous two hundred years. They entered modern-day Yugoslavia before 1362, and covered the Balkans by 1400. The fourteenth and fifteenth centuries proved to be good times and full of happiness for the Gypsies. Before the conquest of the Ottoman Turks, the Gypsies lived in Thrace, Macedonia, Greece, Yugoslavia and Romania.
These happy days would soon come to an end. Because the Turkish invasions,some Gypsies were forced into Venetian territories such as Crete and Corfu. Fortunately, their annual dues rose along with the increase in population in Corfu. With an increase in popluation and annual income came an independent area of land in 1470 ruled by a lord named Michael de Hugot, who lasted until the nineteenth century. Unfortunately the Gypsies in the Balkans were not quite as lucky. Although they had important jobs such as blacksmiths, locksmiths and tinsmiths, and were basically middle-class, the government declared them slaves to prevent them from escaping. These Gypsies could be sold, exchanged or given away, and any Romanian man or woman who married a Gypsy became a slave too. They were finally emancipated in the nineteenth century. Before the fifteenth century, Gypsies were known as quiet, shy and not very organized. They also seemed hesitant to travel into Western Europe. This all changed over a twenty-year period, beginning in 1417. During this time they began to move in a purposeful way toward Western Europe and even began to call attention to themselves. Various Gypsy groups began to display some unity of action and connection with each other through telling different stories.
Some say the Turkish invasion of the Balkans in the early 1400's led to this bizarre behavior. Once the invasion was over, the Gypsies themselves likely wouldn't have been affected in the long run under Turkish rule because the Turks believed in leaving civilian populations free as long as they paid taxes to them. However, the Gypsies may have moved toward Western Europe because some of the Gypsy leaders could not serve under the Turks due to their great loss of power under Turkish rule. The reason behind the change is unclear, but the Gypsies began to move into central Europe in great numbers, but not without causing some problems.
Some Gypsies falsely claimed to be Egptian and some claimed that they were Christians left to roam the country side as a form of absolution for their sin of ignoring their religion. These lies allowed them to collect food, money and letters of protection from a city and then they would continue to the next town using the same lies. By 1427, the Gypsies had traveled through Germany, Brussels, Holland, Rome, Spain and Paris.
By this time, many of the leaders caught on to the Gypsies thefts and lies and began banning them.
There are also recordings of Gypsies in the British Isles, Norway, Finland and Siberia.)




Listen to a talk given by the dean of the school of education.
Community Service is an important component of education here in(at) our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called one on one, helps elementary students who(‘ve) falling(fallen) behind. Your education majors maybe(might be) (e)specially interested in it because it offers
(the) opportunity to do some teaching that is tutoring and(in) math and English.
You(‘d) have to volunteer two hours a week for a one semester. You can choose to help the(a) child with Math, English or both. Half-hour a lesson(s) is(are) fine. So you can(could) do a half hour of each subject two days a week.
Professor Dodge will act as a matter(mentor) to the tutors. You'll(He’ll) be able(available) to help you with lesson plans or you'll(to) offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him, and begin the tutoring next week.
I'm sure you'll enjoy this community service. And you'll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume too, showing that you have(‘ve had) experience with children, and that you care about your community. If you'd like to sign up or if you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodge's office this week.

Listen to an instructor in a business class
I hope you've all finished reading the signed chapter on insurance so that you prepare for our discussion today. But before we start, I'd like to mention a few things your text doesn't go into. It's interesting to note that insurance has exited in some form for a very long time. The earliest insurance policies were what we called bottom contracts. They provide a shipping protection from imergicies fall backs as 3000 BC. In general, the contracts were often no more than verbal agreements. They grant loans to mergens with the understanding that if a particular ship of goods was lost at sea, the loan didn't have to be repaid. Interest on the loans varied according to how risky it was to transport the goods. During period of heavy parocy at sea for example the amount of interest and the cost of the policy went up considerably.
So, you can see how insurance helped encourage international trade. Even the most cautious mergens became willing to risk shipping their goods over long distances, not to mention in hazard weather conditions when they had this protection available. Generally speaking, the basic form of an insurance policy has been pretty much the same since the middle ages. There are four points that we are sailing then and remain paramount in all policies today. These were outlined in chapter 6, and will service as the basis for the rest of today's discussion. Can anyone tell me what one of those points maybe?



Listen to a talk on the radio about a research project
Located at the NASA Research Center in Iowa, is (a) five thousand gallon wet(vat) of water, and inside the tank is an underwater trigmill(treadmill) designed by Dava Newman, an aerospace engineer. For four years, Newman observes(observed) scoop(scuba) divers as the simulated walking on the Moon and on Mars on her underwater moving belt. She wanted to discover how the gravity of the Moon and of Mars would affect human movement.
To do this, Newman attached weights to the divers, and then lower(ed) the mental of(into) the tank and onto the tragmill(treadmill). These weights were carefully adjusted so that the divers could experience underwater the gravity of the Moon and of Mars as they walk on the treadmill. Newman concluded that walking on mars will probably be easier than walking on the moon. The moon has less gravity than Mars does. So at lunar gravity, the divers struggle(d) to keep their balance and walk(ed) awkwardly, but at Martian gravity, the divers have greater traction and stability and could easily adjust to pay some(a pace of) 1.5 miles per hour. As Newman gradually increase(d) the speed of the treadmill, the diver’s toke longer graceful strike(strides) until they comfortably (settled into an) even a quicker pace. Newman also noted that at Martian gravity, the divers needed less oxygen.
The data Newman collected will help in the future design of Martian space suit(s). Compare to lunar space suit(s), Martian space suit will require smaller air tanks; and to allow for freer movement, the elbow and knee areas of the space suit will also be altered.




Questions 39-41
Listen to a talk given by a tour guide
Welcome to Everglades National Park. The Everglades of wateriplain(a watery plain) covered with saw grass that’s home of plenty of(to numerous species of plants and) wildlife. And(At) one and (a) half million acres is too big to see it all today, but this tour will offer you a good sampling. Our tour bus will stop first at Taylor Slough. This is a good place to start because it’s the home to many of (the) plants and animals typically associated with the Everglades. You’ll see many exotic birds, and of course, our world feel it like eligators(famous alligators). Don’t worry, there’s a board worphy(boardwalk that) goes across the marsh. So you can look down at the animals in the water from the(a) safe distance. The board walky(boardwalk) is high enough to give you a great feel(view) of (the) saw grass prairie. From there we’ll have(head to some) another(other) marshy (and) even jungle (- like) areas that (feature wonderful tropical) plant life.
For those of you who’d like (a) closer you(view) of saw grass prairie you might consider running(renting) a canoe some time during your visit here. However, don’t do this unless you have a very good sense of direction, and can go across(negotiate your way) through tall grass. We(‘d) hate that we(to) have to (come) looking for you.
You have a(the good) fortune of being here in the winter-the best time of year to visit. During the spring and summer the mosquitoes will just (about) eat you alive! Right now they’re not so bothersome, but you’ll still want to use (an) insect pallent(repellent).




Listen to a professor talk to new students about an experiment in child development
In our lab today, we will be testing the hypothesis that babies can count as early as five months of age. The six babies here are all less than 6 month(s) old. You will be watching the amount close(them on closed-)circuit TV and measuring their responses.
The experiment is based on the well-established observation that babies stare longer if they don’t see what they expect to see. First, we’re going to let two doors(dolls) move slowly in front of the babies. The babies will see the two doors disappear behind the(a) screen. Your job is to record in seconds how long the babies stare (at) the doors(dolls) when the screen is removed.
In the next stage, two doors(dolls) will again move in front of the babies and disappear. But then a third door will follow. When the screen is removed the babies will only see two dolls. If we’re right, the babies will now stare longer, because they expect three dolls but only see two.
It seems remarkable to think that such young children can count. My own research has convinced me that they have this ability from birth. But whether they do or not, perhaps we should raise another question---should we take advantage of this ability by teaching children mathematics at such a young age? They have great untapped potential. But is it good for parents to pressure young children?

Listen as a guide describe the ancient art of thatching a roof
Welcome to the Four Wind(s) Historical Farm where traditions of the past are preserved from(for) visitors like you. Today, our master thatchers will begin giving mr. balm(this barn) behind be(me) a thirty(sturdy) thatched roof, able to withstand heavy winds and last up to a hundred years. How do they do it? Well in an art show(a nutshell), thatching involves covering in the beings(beams) or rafters, the wood(en) sky(skeleton) on(of) a roof with reeds or straw. Our thatchers here have harvested their own natural materials for the job. The bundles of water reeds you see lying over there beside the bars(barns).
Thatching is certainly uncommon in the United States today. Uh, yes,(I guess) that’s why so many of you have come to see this demonstration. But it wasn’t always that way. In the seventeenth century, the colonies(colonists) here thatch their roof with reeds and straw, just seem as it(they had) done in English(England). After a while though, they began to replace the thatch with wooded shingles, because wood was so plentiful. And eventually other roofing materials like stone, slide(slate), and clide(clay) tiles came into use.
It’s a real shame that most people today don’t realize how strong and long-lasting a thatched roof is. In Ireland, where thatching is still practiced, the roofs can survive winds above(of up) to one hundred ten miles per hour. That’s because straw and reeds are so flexible. They bend but don’t break in the wind like other materials can. Another advantage is that the roofs keep the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter. And then of course there’s the roofs’ longevity. The average is sixty years, but they can last up to a hundred. Without(With all) these reasons to start thatching roof(s) again, wouldn’t it be wonderful to see this disappearing craft to return to popularity?

Listen to part of a lecture in a geology class
I’m glad you bought up the question of our investigations into the make-up of the earth(‘s) centerior(interior). In fact, since this is the topic of your reading assignment for next time, let me spend these last few minutes of class talking about it. There are(were) several important discoveries in the early part of this century that helped geologists develop a more accurate picture of the earth(‘s) senterior(interior).
The first key discovery had to do with the size of microwaves(seismic waves), remember they the vibrations caused by earthquakes. Well, scientists found that they travel thousands of miles through the earth(‘s) senterior(interior). This finding enabled geologists to study the inner parts of the earth. You see, they studies review(revealed) that these vibrations were of two types-compression or p-waves, and sheer(shear) or s-waves. And researchers found that p-waves travel through both liquids and solids, well(while) s-waves travel only through solid matter.
In 1906, of(a) British geologist discovered that p-waves slowed down at a certain depth, but kept travelling deeper. On the other hand, s-waves either disappeared or were reflected back. So he concluded that the depth marked the boundary between a solid mental(mantle) and a liquid core. Three years later another boundary was discovered, that between the mental(mantle) and the earth(‘s) crust.
There’s still a lot to be learned about the earth. For instance, geologists know that the core is hot. Evidence of this is the (molten) lava that flows out of volcanoes. But we are not sure what the source of the heat is.

Listen to the beginning of a talk on astronomy
Most people think of astronomers as people who spend their time in cold observatories, peering through telescopes every night. In fact, a typical astronomer spends most his or her time analyzing data, and may only be at the telescope about a few weeks of a(the) year. Some astronomers work on purely theoretical problems and never use a telescope at all.
You might not know how really(rarely) images are viewed directly through telescopes. The most common way to observe the skies is to photograph them. The process is very simple. First, a photograph(ic) plate is coded(coated) with a light sensitive material. The plate has(is) position(ed) so that the image received by the (tele)scope is recorded on it. Then the image can be developed, enlarged and published so that many people can study it.
Because most astronomical objects are very remote, the light we receive from them is rather feeble. But by using a telescope as a camera, long time exposures can be made. In this way, objects can be photographed that are (a) hundred times too thin(faint) to be seen, by just looking through a telescope.

10月9日 这个是昨天的Listen to a professor talk to his city planning class
Today, we’ll examine the road that prides(private) transportation namely the omlybill(automobile) plays in city planning.
A number of sociologists blame the omlybill(automobile) for the decline of the downtown areas of major cities. In the 1950s and 1960s the omlybill(automobile) made it possible to work in the city and yet live in the suburb(s) many miles away. Shopping pattern’s changed. Instead of purchuring(patronizing) in downtown stores people in the suburbs went to large shopping malls outside the city and closed(closer) at home. Merchants in the city failed. And their stores closed. Downtown shopping areas became deserve it(deserted).
In recent years there’s been a rebirth of the downtown area, as many suburb(anite)s have moved back to the city. They’ve done this of course to avoid highways clogs(clogged) with commuters with(from) the suburbs.
I’ve chosen this particular city planning problem--our dependence on private transportation to discussing(discuss in) groups. I’m hopping you all will come up with some innovate solutions. Oh, and don’t approach the problem from a purely sociological perspective. Try to take into account environmental and economic issues as well.
