listen to part of a talk in a music class.the professor is discussing a musical theatal pruduction
It may seems strange that we are discussing music from a broadway production in this class.the lion king especially.since it is based on a popular hollywood movie. I mean ,music performed from boradway theater in the heart of newyork city,surely would seemed to be in a western traditional part of popular music.and now have much in common with the music we`ve been studying in this course. such as gan`` music in indunixiya,xxxx in south africa,mucis developed ouside the western tradition of europ and america.but in fact,musicians have a long standing tradition of borrowing from one another`s cultures. and this production`s director intentionally included both western and nonwestern music.that way, some of the rythms ,instruments,harmonies,typical of nonwestern music can trust with and complement popular music more familiar to audions in north american and europ.music like rock jass or broadway style show tongues .so i want to spend the rest of the class and most of the next one on the music from the show the lion king as a way of summarising some of the technical dictinctions between typical western music and the nonwestern music that we`ve been studying. now the african influence on the music is clear,the story takes place in africa,so the director guard a south african composer to write songs with the dictinctly african sound.and the song even include words from african languages,but what exactly africa influence later.first let`s turn to the music that was written for the shadow pappy seans in the lion king music based on the indunixiya music used in a shadow pappy sean of that rigion.

listen to a part of a talk in a class on the history of science
in ancian times many people believed the earth was a flat disk,well over 2000 years ago,the ancian greek pholosopers were able to put forward 2 good arguments proving that it was not.direct conseveration of the heavenly bodies was the basis of both each arguments ,first the greeks knew that during the eclips of moon the earth was between the sun and the moon,and so that during these eclips,the earth shadow on the moon was always round,they realised this could be true only if the earth was therical.if the earth were flat disk,then each shadow during a eclips would not be a perfect circle , it would be streached down into a long elips.the secend argument was based on with a group sodiers in their travels.they noticed that the north star ,or the polalos,appeared lower in the sky when they traveled south,in more northernly rigions ,the north stars appeared to be much higher in the sky.that way,it was also found the difference in the apparent position of the north star,the greeks first calculated the apart distance around the circumference of the earth .a figure recorded in ancian document says 400,000 stadia that the flour of the world`s stadion,today it is not known exactly what one stadia presents,but let`s say what about 200meaters,that land of many atheletic stadions ,this would make the greeks asmos about twice the figure acceped today of very good amosoherefor those writing so long even bofore the first telescope was invented.

recently some anthropologists conducted(conducated) an interesting case study in athenology(ethnology).now athonology as you recall is a branch of anthropology that deals with how various cultures developed in cage(change).thestudy was about the development of backet weaving by africa american women who living (live) in town of mounplesent of south carilina,the town is known for its hight quality sweet grass basket(s) which are weaven(woven) by these women ,they`ve been weaving the baskets for generations ,handing down the skill from mother to daughter.some of the baskets have been placed on permenant display of the muscean of art.the origin of their basckt weaving dated(dates) back to the 70 century and even earlier,when these women`s ancestors came to the u.s from the west coast of africa.now it is mainly a hobby.the backing was(back in the) 70 to 80 centuries ,africa american women wove the backets for the use on (the) rice plantations.there were 2 types of baskets (then).work basket and basket for use in the home.the work baskets were made out of woodrushers , woodrushers are long tough grasses grown in marshals.one type of the basket was fan basket which was used to separate grain of rice from the weeds.the baskets used in the homes were made by more delecate(delicate) sweet grass.they would (were)use for everything from boobasket (fruit)to baby crators.

this morining I want to tell you about a recent scientific discovery dealing with the relationship(relation) between plants and animals.this is about a desert shrub whose leaves can shoot (up) a string of poisonous rythm(resin) at distance of 6 feet.U think it would be safe from all attacks by insects .but a recent study has found brillant(one``````) insect ,a beatle that can choose(chew) its way to pass the plant`s defence system by cutting the main(ly) vein that delivers poison to the leaf(leaves),this vein cutting is just one method the beatles use to prepare a safe meal.another is by cutting a path all the way across the leaf,to hold the flow of chemicals.then they severily eat between the veins of poison.in the past scientist would study ant setuptations to (inset adaptation to plant defenses have) focus on chemical responses.that is how the insects can nutrilize(neutrala?) and alter poisonous sunstances plant produces.for(whats) unique about this choing(chewing其实我知道什么意思···就是不会拼) stragtegy is that the beatle is actually exhibiting a behaviour role(去掉role) response to the plant`s defences.rather than a more common chemical responses,it`s only after a beatle survives several incounters(weveral encounters) for the plant`s poison(resin) that it learn how to avoid the poison by chouing through the resent(resin) transporting veins on the next leaf that(it) eats and thus gets itself a safe meal.however it can take a beatle an hour and a half of careful vein cutting to prepare a small leaf that takes it only a few minutes to eat.so though the method is safe ,it is not very effecient |
