Community service is an important component of education here (inàat) our university, we encourage all students to volunteer at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called one (andàon) one helps elementary students who’ve (followàfallen) behind. You education majors might be especially interested in it, because (they canàit) offers the opportunity to do some teachings, that is tutoring in math and English. You’d have to volunteer two hours a week for (once to masteràone semester). You can choose to help a child with math, English or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you (canàcould) do a half hour of each subject in two days a week. Professor Dodge (would like to theàwill act as a) mentor (ofàto) the tutors. He’ll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday (oràand) 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 (your academicàyou’ve had) experience with the children and that you care about your community. If you like to sign up or if you have any questions, stop by professor Dodge’s office this week.

2、I hope you’ve all finished reading the assigned chapter on insurance, so that you’re prepared (toàfor) 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 (an existenceàexisted in) some form for a very long time. The earliest insurance system policies were what we called (bottom recontractàbottomry contracts). They provided shipping protections for merchants (foràas far) back 3000 BC. In general, the contracts were often no more than verbal agreements. They granted (lowàloans) to the merchants with the understanding that if a particular shipment of goods was lost at sea, the loan didn’t have to be repaid. Interest on the loans (was varyàvaried) according to how risky it was to transport the goods. During period of piracy at sea, for example, the amount of interests and cost (aàof the) policy went up considerably. So you can see how insurance helped encourage international trades. Even the most cautious merchants became willing to risk shipping their goods over long distances not to mention in (hizzardàhazardous) weather conditions when they had this kind of protection available. Generally speaking, the basic form of an insurance policy has been pretty much the same since the middle ages. There (wereàare) four points that were (sailingàsalient) then and remain (parallelàparamount) in all policies today. They were outlined (ofàin) chapter 6, and will (serviceàserve as) the basis for the rest of today’s discussion. Can anyone tell me what one of those points might be?

3、Located at the (niceràNASA) research center (nawaiàin Iowa) is a 5,000 gallon (viteàvat) of water, and inside the tank is a underwater (traid mailàtreadmill) designed by Dave Newman, an (ecro spaceàaerospace) engineer. For four years, newman observe (skobàscuba) divers (that isàas they) simulated walking on the moon and on mars on her underwater moving (buildàbelt). She wanted to discover how the gravity of the moon and the mars would affect human movement. To do this, newman attached weights to the divers and then lower (the mentor to—them into) the tank and onto the treadmill. （This way wasàthese weights were） carefully adjusted so that the divers could experience under water the gravity of moon and of mars as they (walkingàwalked) on the (trade mailàtreadmill). 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 struggled to keep their balance and walked awkwardly. But at martian gravity, the divers has (better attractionàgreater traction) and stability, and could easily adjust to a pace of 1.5 miles/hour. As newman gradually increased the speed of treadmill the divers took longer graceful strides until they (completelyàcomfortably) settled into a even quicker pace. Newman also noted that at martian gravity, diverse needed less oxygen. The date newman collected (wasàwill) (helpful foràhelp in) the future martian space suits. Compared to lunar space suits, martian space suits will require smaller air tanks, and to allow for freer movement, the elbow and (neeràknee areas of the) space suit will also be (outàaltered).

Now, when I mention the terms “boom” and “bust”, what does that bring to mind?
The dot com crash of the 90s
The boom in the late 1990s when all those new internet companies sprang out and were then sold for huge amounts of money. Then the bust around 2000, … 2001 when many of these same internet companies went out of business. Of course, booms are always followed by busts. We’ve certainly seen times when local economies expanded rapidly for a while and then went back to a normal pace of growth. But, there’s a type of rapid expansion, what might be called the hysterical or irrational boom that pretty much always leads to a bust. People often create and intensified a boom when they’re carried away by some new industry that seems like it’ll make them lots of money fast. You’d think that by the nineties, people would have learned from the past. If they did, well, look at the tulips.
Tulips, you mean, the flower?
Exactly, for instance, do you have any idea where tulips are from? Originally I mean.
Well, the Netherlands, right?
That was most people think, but no, they’re not native to the Netherlands, or even Europe. Tulips actually hail from an area the Chinese call the celestial mountains in central Asia, a very remote mountainous region.
It was Turkish nomads who first discovered tulips and spread them slowly westward. Around 16 centuries, Europe was travelling to Istanbul and Turkey as merchants and diplomats. And the Turks often gave the Europeans tulip bulbs as gifts which they would carry home with them. For European, tulips were totally unheard of, uh… a great novelty. The first bulb to show up in the Netherlands, the merchant who received them roasted and ate them, they thought they were kind of union. It turns out, the Netherland was an ideal country for growing tulips. It had the right kind of sandy soil for one thing, but also, it was a wealthy nation with a growing economy, willing to spend lots of money on new exotic things. Plus, the Dutch had a history of gardening. Wealthy people would compete, spending enormous amounts of money to buy the rarest flowers for their gardens. Soon, tulips were beginning to show up in different colors as growers tried to breed them specifically for colors which would make them even more valuable. But they were never completely sure what they would get. Some of the most priced tulips were white with purple streaks, or red with the yellow streaks on the pedals, even a dark purple tulip that was very much priced. What happened then was a craze for these specialized tulips. We called that craze ‘tulip-mania’.
So, here we’ve got all conditions for an irrational boom. A prospering economy, so more people has more disposable income, money to spend on luxuries, but they weren’t experienced at investing their new wealth. Then along comes a thrilling new commodity. Sure the first specimens were just plain ordinary tulips, but they can be bred into some extraordinary variations, like the dark purple tulips, and finally, you have an unregulated marketplace. No government constrains, where prices can explode. And explode they did, starting in the 1630s. there was always much more demands for tulips than supply. Tulips didn’t bloom frequently like roses, tulips bloomed once in the early spring, and that was it for the year. Eventually, specially-breed multi-colored tulips became so valuable, well, according to records, one tulip bulb was worth 24 tons of wheat, or a thousand pounds of cheese. One particular tulip bulb was sold and exchanged for a small ship. In another word, tulips were literally worth their weight in gold.
As demand grew, people began selling the promissory notes guaranteeing the future delivery of priced tulip bulbs. The buyers of the pieces of papers would resell the notes at marked up prices. These promissory notes kept changing hands from buyer to buyer until the tulip was ready for delivery. But it was all pure speculation as I said, there was no way to know if the bulb was really going to produce the variety, the color that was promised. But that didn’t matter to the owner of the note. The owner only cared about having that piece of paper so it could be treated later at a profit. And people were borrowing mortgaging their homes in many cases to obtain those piece of paper. Because they were sure they’d found an easy way to make money.
So now, you’ve got all the ingredients for a huge bust, and bust it did, when one cold February morning in 1637, a group of bulb traders got together and discovered that suddenly there were no bidders. Nobody wanted to buy, panic spread like wild fire and the tulip market collapsed totally.

4、welcome to (whereanzeàEverglades) national park, The evergaldes is a watery plain, covered with (saoàsaw) grass (saw grass锯齿草), that’s home to numerous (kindsàspecies) of plants and (wild animalsàwildlife). (AndàAt) one and a half million (akersàacres) it’s too big to see it all today, but this (toobuline givesàtour will offer) you a good sampling. Our tour bus would stop first at Taylor Slough. This is a good place to start because it’s homes to many of the plants and animals typically associated with the Everglades. You’ll see many exotic birds and, of course, our world famous alligator. Don’t worry, there’s a boardwalk that goes across the marsh. So you can look down at the animals in the water from a safe distance. The boardwalk is high enough to give you a great view of saw grass prairie. From there we’ll head (inàto) some other marshy and even jungle like area that features wonderful tropical plant life. For those of you who’d like a close view of the saw grass prairie, you might consider renting a canoe sometime during your visit here. However, don’t do this unless you have a very good sense of direction and can negotiate your way through tall grass. We’d hate to have to come looking for you. You have 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 are not so bothersome, but you’ll still want to use an insect repellent.

5、Thank you, it’s great to see so many of you interested in (severeàseries) on “survival in outer space”, please excuse the cameras, (whereàwe’re) being videotaped for the local TV stations. Tonight I’m going to talk about the most basic aspect of survival, the space suit. When most of you imagine an astronaut, that’s probably the first thing that comes to mind, right? Well, without space suits, it would be not possible for us to survive in space. For example, outer space is a vacuum, there is no gravity or air pressure, without protection, (our bodiesàa body) would explode. What’s more, we’d cook in the sun and freeze in the shade. With temperatures ranging from toasty 300 degrees above to a cool 300 degree below zero Fahrenheit. The space suit that NASA has developed is truly a marvel. This photo (in largementàenlargement) here is a life size image of (anstronàan actual) space suit (wonàworn) by astronauts on the last space shuttle mission. This part is the torso, it’s made of seven extremely durable layers. This thick insulation protects against the temperature extremes and radiation. Next is what they call a bladder of oxygen. That’s (in flexibleàan inflatable) sac, filled with oxygen, to simulate atmosphere pressure. This bladder presses the body with the same forth (isàas) the earth’s atmosphere at sea level. The innermost layers provide liquid cooling and ventilation. Despite all the layers, the suit is flexible, allowing free movement, so we can work. Another really sophisticated part of the suit is helmet, I brought one along to show you. Can I have a volunteer to come and demonstrate?

6、Good evening, my name is Pam Jones, and on behalf of the modern dance club, I like to welcome you to the tonight’s program. The club is pleased to present the TV version of Catherine Wheel, (twice ofàTwyla Tharp’s) rock ballet. This video version of the ballet has been even more successful with audience than the original (featureàtheater) production. It includes some animation, slow motion, and stop-action freezes that really help the audience understand the dance. The (tellor ofàtitle of) the pace refers to Saint Catherine, who died on (the huilleàa wheel) in 307 ad. Nowadays, a Catherine Wheel is also a kind of firework, it looks (like some pinwillàsomething like a pinwheel). Anyway, the dancer is certainly (fellowàfull of) fireworks. You’ll see how Twyla Tarp explores one family’s attempt to confront (violateàviolence) in the modern life. The central symbol of the work is a pineapple, but exactly, (what’ve everàwhat it) represents has always created a lot of controversy. As you watch, see if you can figure it out. The music for this (paceàpiece) is full of the rhythmic energy rock music. It was composed by David byrne, of the rock band Talking Heads. And the lead dancer in this version was Sara Rudner, who is perfectly suited to Tharp’s adventurous choreography. Following the video, dancer teacher Mary Parker will lead the discussion about the symbolism Ms Tharp used. We hope you can stay for that, so enjoy today’s video, and thank you for your report.

In our lab today we’ll be testing the hypothesis that the babies can count as early as 5 months age, the six babies here are all less than six months old. You’ll be watching them (among closes circularàon 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 dolls move slowly in front of the babies. The babies will see the two dolls disappear behind screen. Your job is to record in seconds how long the babies stare at dolls when the screen is removed. In the next stage, two dolls will again move (infrontàin front of) the babies and disappear. But then, a third doll will follow. When the screen is (move—removed), the babies will only see two dolls. If we’re right, the babies will now stare longer, because they expect three dolls, but actually, only see two. It seems remarkable to (see—think) such young children can count. My own research has convinced me that they have the ability from (born—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.

Before starting our tour of M, I’d like to give you some historical facts that might help you appreciate what you see today even more, M was the very much loved home of T for over fifty years. J who was, of course, president, was also a great reader and language enthusiast. He read on widely different subjects, including architecture, he wasn’t a formally trained architecture, but as a result of his study and observation of other buildings, he was able to help design (toand) build the house. He chose (to ??-->the site) himself, naming the (stateestate) M, which means a little mountain in Italia. In fact, many of the ideas behind the design also came from the Italian architecture, A. who lived in the 16 century, and who had a great influence on the architecture in England. J, however, ignored one of P’s principals, that is, not to build in high place, M’s elevation made the transportation of what was needed at the house, for example, food, especially difficult. But the view from the (stateestate), would not be spectacular if J had follow P’s advice. There really is no boundary between the house, and nature around it. So J could was able to look out on his beloved state of Virginia from his wonderful vantage point. Now, let’s go on to J’s library.

Now that we’ve all introduce ourselves to the new members, let’s get down to work. As the committee in charge of this year’s tree planting project, we have several items on our agenda. First we have to review the budget, the president has informed me that the trustees have set aside 3000 dollars for purchase of trees, and our environmental T-shirt sale netted a profit of  1500 dollars. Second we have to finalize the choice of the trees. As you know, we’re working with Richardson’s Nursery again this year since everyone seemed pleased with the work he did for us. Mr. Richardson has presented us with several choices within our price range that he thinks would meet our needs. He’s sent the pictures of the trees for us to look at. But he wanted me to tell you that we’re welcome to visit the nursery if we want to see the trees themselves. Lastly, we need to plan some kind of ceremony to commemorate the planting. Several ideas including a garden party of some sort, have been suggested. So let’s get down with it and turn to the first order of business.
