Listen to a conversation between a student and a university consolor[counselor] at the universtity counsoling[counseling] center.

S: Hi, thanks for seeing me on such short notic[notice].
C: No problem. How can I help?
S: Well, I think I might have made a mistake coming to this school.
C: What makes you say that?
S: I'm a little overwhelmed by the size of this place. I come from a small town, there were only 75 of us in my highschool graduating class. Everyone knew everyone. We all grew up together.
C: So...it's a bit of a culture shock for you? Being one of 15,000 students on a big campus in a unfamiliar city?
S: that's an undersatement. I just can't get comfortable in class or in the dorms, you know, socialy[socially].
C: Well, let's start with the acadamics[academics]. Tell me about your classes.
S: I'm taking mostly introductary[introductory]
courses, and some are taught in these huge lecture halls.
C: And you're having trouble keeping pace with the material?
S: No. In fact I got an A on my first economics paper. It's just that it's so impersonal. I'm not used to it.
C: Are all your classes impersonal?
S: No, it's just that...For example, in socieology[sociology] testoday[yestoday], the professor asked a question, so I raised my hand, several of us raised our hands, and I kept my hand up because I did the reading and knew the answer. But the professor just answered his own question and continued with the lecture.
C: Well, in a big room it's possible he didn't notic[notice] you. Maybe he was trying to save time. In either case I wouldn't take it personally.
S: I suppose, but I just don't know how to...you know, distinguish myself.
C: Why not stop by his office during office hours?
S: That wouldn't seem right, you know, taking time from other students who need help.
C: Don't say that. That's what office hours are for. There's no reason you couldn't pop in to say "Hi" to make yourself known, if you're learning a lot in class, let the professor know. Wouldn't you appreciate positive feed back if you were a prefessor?
S: You're right, that's a good idea.
C: OK, let's turn to your social life. How is going in the dorms?
S: I don't have much in common with my roommate or anyone else I've met so far. Everyone is into sports and I'm more artsy, you know, into
the music, I play the chelo[cello].
C: Haaa, have you been playing long?
S: Since age ten. It's a big part of my life. At home I was the youngest member of my[our] community orchistra[orchestra].
C: You're not going to believe this. There is a string quantate[quartet]
on campus, all students, and it so happened that the cellist graduated last year, they've been searching high and low for a replacement, someone with experiance[experience], would you be interested in auditioning?
S: Absolutely. I wanted to get my acadamic[academic] work settled before pursuing my music here, but I think this would be a good thing for me, I guess if I really wanna fit in here, I should find people who love music as much as I do. Thank You.
C: My plesure.

难道这篇我跟读过，貌似很熟的样子，不记得了。很多都是错在拼写和打字错误。刚被童话那篇虐了之后，再做conversation真是很欢乐啊很欢乐～～

TPO 5-2
Listen to part of a lecture in a sosiology[sociology] class.

Have you ever heard the one about alegators[alligators] living in NY sewers 下水道? The story goes like this: A family went on vacation in Florida and bought a couple of baby alligators as presents for their children, then returned from vacation to NY, bringing the alligators home with them as pets. But the alligators would escape, and find their way into the NY sewer system where they started reproducing, grew to huge sizes, and now strike fear into sewer workers. Have you heard this story? Well, it isn't true, and it never happened, but despite that, the story's been around since the 1930s. Or how about the song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star? You know, Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are. Well, we've all heard this song. Where am I going with this？ Well, both the song and the story are examples of memes, and that's what we'll talk about, the theory of memes.

A meme is defined as a piece of information copied from person to person. By this definition, most of what you know, ideas, skills, stories, songs, are memes. All the words you know, all the scientific theories you've learnt, the rules your parents taught you to observe, all are memes, that have been passed on from person to person.

So what, you may say, passing on ideas from one person to another is nothing new. Well, the whole point of defining this familiar process as transmition[transmission] of memes is so that we can explore it analogy with the transmission of genes. As you know, all living organisms pass on biological information through the genes. What's a gene? Gene is a piece of biological information that gets copied or replicated 复制, and copy or replica is passed on to the new generation. So genes are defined as replicators.

Genes are replicators that pass on information about properties and characristics of organisms. By analogy, memes also get replicated, and in the process pass on cultural information from person to person, generation to generation. So memes are also replicators. To be a successful replicator, there are three key charactoristics[characteristics]. Longevity, fucontity[fecundity 多产], and fidelity. Let's take a closer look.

First, longevity. A replicator must exist long enough to be able to get copied and transfer information. Clearly the longer a replicator survives, the better its chance is of getting its message copied and passed on. So longevity is a key characteristic of a replicator. If you take the alligator story, it can exist for a long time in individual memory, let say, my memory. I can tell you the story now or ten years from now. The same with the twinkle twinkle song, so these memes have longevity, because they are memorable, for one reason or another.

Next, fecundity. Fecundity is the ability to reproduce in large numbers. For example, the common house fly reproduces by laying several thousand eggs, so each fly gene gets copied thousands of times. Memes, well, they can be reproduced by large numbers as well. How many times have you sung the twinkle twinkle song to someone? Each time you replicted the song, and maybe passed along it to someone who didn't know it yet, a small child maybe.

Finally, fidelity. Fidelity means acuracy[accuracy] of the copying process. We know fidelity as an essencial[essential] principle of genetic transmission. If a copy of a gene is of big difference[a bit different] from the original, that's called a genetic mutation, and mutations are usually bad news. An organism often can not survive with a mutated gene, and so a gene usually can not be passed on, unless it's an exact copy. For memes, however, fidelity is not always so important. For example, if you tell someone the alligator story I told you today, it probably won't be word for word exactly as I said it. Still it will be basically the same story. And the person who hear[hears] the story will be able to pass it along. Other memes are replicated for[with] higher fidelity, though. Like the twinkle twinkle song, it has[had] the exact same words twenty years ago as it does now. Well, that's because we see songs as something that has to be performed accurately each time. If you change a word, the others will usually bring you in line, they'll say, "That's not how you sing it", right?

So, you could see how looking at pieces of cultural information as replicators, as memes, and analyzing them in terms of longevity, fecundity and fidelity, we can gain some insight about how they spread, persist, or change.

TPO5 Lecture2

太狗血了这篇，活活用了我一个多小时。几乎没有一句是没问题的。。。。隔行如隔山，不服不行啊～～

Listen to part of a lecture in an astronamy class.

Last week we covered some arguments against going back to the moon. But there are compelling 令人信服的 reasons in favor of another moon landing, too, not the least of which is trying to pinpoint the moon's age. We could do this in theoy by studying an enormous 巨大的 impact creator[crater 坑], known as the South Pole-Aitken Basin. Umm, it's located in the moon's South Poler[Polar 地极] region, but since it's on the far side of the moon, it can only be seen from space. Here is an image of...we'll call it the SPA basin. This color coded[color-coated] image of the SPA basin...those aren't its actual colors obviously, this image is from the mid ninties, from an American space craft called Climentine[Clementine]. Unlike earlier lunar 月球的 missions, Clementine didn't orbit only around the moon's equatar[equator 赤道], it's orbits in able[enable it] to do sent[send] back data to create this topygraphical[topographical 地形学的] map of..of...well, the grand[gray and] white area towards the bottom is the south pole, the purples and blues in the middle corespond[correspond] to low elevations 高度, the SPA basin itself. The oranges and reds around it are higher elevations. The basin measures in[an] amazing 2500 kms in diamitor. And it's average deapth[depth] is 12 kms. That makes it the biggest known crater in our solar system, and it may well be the oldest.

You know, vanitory[planetary] researchers love studying deep craters, to learn about the impacts created them, how they redistributed pieces of the[a] planet's crust. And in this case, we especially want to know if any of the metal[mantle 地幔]-the layer beneath the crust, was exposed by the impact. Not everyone agrees, but some experts are convinced that whatever created the SPA basin did penitrate[penetrate] the moon's mantle. And we need to find out because much more than the crust, the mantle contains information about a planet's or a moon's total composition 构成. And that's key to understanding plant information[formation]. Dian?

The only way to know the basin's age is to study the[its] rocks directly?

Well, from radio survey data, we know that the basin contains lots of smaller craters, so it must be really old, about 4 billion years, give a[or] take 左右 of a few hundred million years, but that's not very precise. If we have[had] rock samples to study, we[we'd] know whether these small craters were formed by impacts during the final stages of planetary formation, or if they are resulted from later metiar [meteor 流星] shellers[showers].

But if we know around how old the basin is, I'm not sure that's reason enough to go to the moon again.

No, but such crude estiments[estimates] 粗略估计... We can do better than that. Besides, there is other things worth investigating, like "Is there water ice on the moon?"  Clementine's data indicated that the wall of the south polar crater was more reflective than expected. So some experts think there's probably ice there. Also, data from a later mission indicates significant concentrations of hydragion[hydrogen 氢], and by infrence[inference 推论] water less than a meter undergroud at both poles.

Well if there is water, how did it get there? underground rivers?

We think meteors that crash[crashed] into the moon or tails of passing comits[comets 彗星] may have introduced water moloquls[molecules 分子]. Any water molecules have found their wage of[way to] the floors of craters near the moon's poles, that water would be propatrually[perpetually 持久的] frozen, because the floors of these craters are always in shadow. Furthermore, if the water ice was mixed in with rock and dust, it'd be protected from vaporation[evaporation 蒸发].

So are you saying there might be permitive[primitive 原始的] life on the moon?

Ahh, that's not my point at all. OK, say there is water ice on the moon, that would be a very pragical[practical] value for a fufure moon base forestranons[for astronauts 宇航员], water ice could be melted and purefied[purified] for drinking. It could also be broken down into its component parts, Oxygen and Hydrogen. Oxygen could be used to breath[breathe], and Hydrogen could be turned into fuel, rocket fuel. So water ice could enable the creation of a self-sustaining moon base someday. A mining camp perhaps, or a departure point for a further space exploration.

But holding tuns of equipments to the moon to make fuel and build a life suport[support] system for a moon base, wouldn't that be too expensive?

Permanent base may be a waste off[maybe a way's off 有很大距离], but we shouldn't have to wait for that. The dust at the bottom of the SPA basin really does have a fasinating[fascinating] story to tell. I wouldn't give for 牺牲，交换 a few samples of it.

Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor.

S: Hi, professor Mason, do you have a minute?
P: Yes, of course Eric, I think there was something I wanted to talk to you about, too.
S: Probably my late essay.
P: Aha, that must've been it. I thought maybe I'd lost it.
S: No, I'm sorry, actually it was my computer that lost it, the first draft of it. And...well, anyway, I finally put it in your mail box yesterday.
P: Oh, and I havn't checked the mail box yet today. Well, I'm glad it's there. I'll read it this weekend.
S: Well, sorry again. Say, I can send it to you by email, too, if you like.
P: Great, I'll be interested to see how it all came out.
S: Right, now I just overheard some graduate students talking, something about a party for Dean Adams (2)?
P: Retirement party, yes, all students are invited. Wasn't there a notice on the Anthropology 人类学 department's bulliton board?
S: Aha, I don't know, but I wanted to offer to help out with it (1), you know, whatever you need. Dean Adams, well I took a few anthropology classes with her, and they were great, inspiring, I honestly[and well I just] want to pich[pitch] in 协力，做出贡献.
P: Oh, that's very thoughtful of you, Eric, but it wil be pretty low key, nothing falshy[flashy],(3) that's not her style.
S: So there's nothing?
P: No, we'll have coffee and cookies, maybe a cake, but actually a couple of the admitrative[administrative] assistants are working on that, you could ask them, but I think they've got it covered (3).
S: OK.
P: Actually, oh, no, never mind.
S: What is it?
P: Well, it's nothing to do with the party, and I'm sure there are more exciting ways you could spend your time, but we do need some help with something. We are compiling a database of articles the antropology faculty has published, there's not much glory in it, but we are looking for someone with some knowledge of anthropology who can enter the articles. I hesitate to mention it, but I don't suppose this is something you would...(5)
S: No, that sounds kind of cool, I'd like to see what they are writing about.
P: Wonderful. And there are also some unpublished studies. Did you know Dean Adams did a lot of field research in Indonisia[Indonesia]? Most of it hasn't been published yet.
S: No, like what?
P: Well, she is really versital[versatile 多才多艺的]. She just spent several months studying social interactions in Indonesia, and she's been influencial in anthropology[anthnology ?????]. Oh, and she has also done work in south america, that's closer to biology, especially with speciation 物种形成.(4)
S: Aha, not to seem uninformed. ?????
P: Well, how species form. You know, how two distinct species form form one, like when populations of the same species are isolated from each other, and then develop in two different directions, and end up this[with] two distinct species.
S: Interesting.
P：Yes. And while she was there in south america, she collected a lot of linguistic information, and songs, really fasinating[fascinating 有强大吸引力的].
S：Well, I hate to see her leave.
P:  Don't worry, she'll still be around. She's got lots of projects that she's still in the middle of.

总体来讲这篇不难，但species那部分没听太懂，关键是学科的名称很多词不懂。导致错了一道题。词汇的问题。五个红色问号表示那里不明白啥意思。有些部分，第一次听不太清楚，尤其是做笔记会耽误听力。听写的时候，多听几遍就明白了。

Listen to part of a lecture in a class on theater history. The professor is discussing the theater of 19th century, France.

The 19th century was the time that itself????? what we call Realism, developed in the European theater. To understand this, though, we first need to look at an eariler form of drama known as the Well Made Play, which basically was a pattern 模式 for constructing place[plays], plays that beginnng with some early 19th century comedies in France, proved very successful, commercially(6). The dramatic devices[devises 策划] used here weren't actually anything new. They've been around for centuries. But the formular[formula 原则，方案] for a well made play required that certain of these elements be included, in a paticular order. And most importantly, that everything in the play be logically connected. In fact, some of these playwrites would start by writing the end of a play, and work backward toward the beginning, just to make sure each event lead ????? logically from what had gone before(7). OK, so what are the necessary elements of a well made play?

Well, the first is logical exposition 阐述. Exposition is whatever background information you have to reveal to the audience, so they'll understand what's going on. Before this time, exposition might have come from actors simply giving speaches. Someone might walk out in the stage and say: "In fair that who know where we lay our scene". And then tell all about the feulting????? families of Romeo and Juliet. But for the well made play, even the exposition had to be logical, believable. So, for example, you might have two servants gossuping[gossiping](8) as they are cleaning the house, and one says, "Oh, what a shame the master's son is still not married." And the other might mention a rumor about a mysterias[mysterious] gentleman who's just moved into town with his beautiful daughter. These comments are part of the play's logically exposition.

The next key element of a well made play is refered to as the inciting 鼓动的 incident. After we have the background information, we need a key moment that gets things moving, that really makes the audience interested in what happens to the characters we just heard about. So, for example, after the two servants reveal all this background information, we need the young man, just as he first lays eyes on the beautiful young woman, and he imediatly[immediately] falls in love. This is the inciting incident. It sets off the plot of the play (11).

Now the plot of a well made play is usually driven by secrets, things that the audience knows, but the characters often don't know(9). So, for example, the audience learns through a letter or through someone else's conversation, who this mysterious gentleman is, and why he left the town many years before. But the young man doesn't know about this. And the woman doesn't understand the ancient connection between her family and his. And before the secrets are revealed to the main characters, the plot of the play proceeds as a series of sort of up and down moments(9). For example, the woman first appears not to even notice the young man, and it seems to him like the end of the world. But then then he learns that she actually wants to meet him too, so life is wonderful. Then if he tries to talk with her, maybe her father gets
furious, for no appearent[apparent] reason. So they can't see each other. But just as the young man has almost lost all hope, he finds out...well, you get the idea. The reversal 翻转 of fortune continue(9), increasing the audiences'[audience's] tension and excitment[excitement], making them wonder if everything is going to come out OK or not.

Next comes in element known as the obligatory 有义务的 scene. It's a scene, a moment, in which all the secrets are revealed. For the hero and others we care about. A happy ending of some sort. This became so popular that a playwrite almost had to include it in every play, which is why it's called the obligatory scene. And that's followed by the final dramatic element, the denouement 结局, or the resolution 解决，解答, when all the lusen[lucent?????] had to be tied up in a logicall way. Remember, the obligatory scene gives the audience emotional pleasure, but the denouement offers the audience a logical conclusion. That's the suttle[subtle 微妙的] distinction we need to try very hard to keep in mind (10). So, as I said, the well made play, this form of play writing became a basis for realism in drama, and for a lot of very popular 19th century plays, and also a pattern we find in the plots of many later plays, and even movies that we see today.

Listen to part of a lecture in a biology class.

So that's how elephants use infrosound[infrasound 次声]. Now let's talk about the other end of the equistical[acoustic 声音的] spectrum 频谱, sounds that's too high for humans to hear, ultrasound 超声. Ultrasound is used by many animals that detect, and some of them send out very high frequency sounds, so what's a good example?(12) Yes, Carol?

Well, bats, since they are all blind, bats have to use sound for uh, you know, to keep from flying into things.

That's echolocation. Echolocation is pretty self-explainatory, using echos[echoes 回声]-reflet to[reflected] sound waves to locate things. As Carol said, bats use it for navegation[navigation 导航] and orientation. What else? Mike?

Well, finding food is always important, and I guess not becoming food for other animals.

Right, ummm, both counts. Avoiding other preditors[predators 食肉动物] and locating pray[prey 捕获物], ah, typically insects that fly around at night. Now before I go on, let me just respond to something Carol was saying, this idea that bats are blind.(17) Actually there are some species of bats, the ones that don't use echolocation, that do rely on their vision for navigaion, but it is true that for many bats, their vision is too weak to count on. OK, so quick summary of how echolocation works, the bat emits 发出，射出 these ultrasound[ultrasonic] impulses[pulses], where it[very] high pitch 音高 some[sound] waves that we can't hear. And then they analyze the echos, how the waves bounds back. Ah, here let me finish this
diagram 图表
before I started before class. So the bat sends out these pulses, very focused bursts of sound, and echos bounds back. You know, I don't think I need to draw on the echos, you're[your] reading the assignments for the next class, it has the diagram that shows this very clearly.(13) So anyway, as I was saying, by analyzing these echos, the bat can determine, say if there is a wall in a cave that it needs to avoid, and how far away it is.  Another thing it uses ultrasound to detect is the size and shape of objects. For example one echo they quickly identify is the one they assosiate[associate] with the moth 蛾, which is common prey for a bat, particularly
a moth beating its wings. However moth happen to have a major advantage over most other insects, they can detect ultrasound. This means that when a bat approaches, the moth can detect the bat's presence. So it has time to escape to safety, orelse they can just remain motionless, since when they stop beating their wings, they'd be much harder for the bat to distinguish from...oh...a leaf or some other object.(14)

Now we've tended to underestimate just how sufisticated[sophisticated] the abilities of animals that use ultrasound are. In fact, we kind of assumed that they were filtering a lot out, ummm, the way a sophisticated radar system can ignore echos from stationary 静止的 objects on the ground. Radar does this to remove ground clutter 零乱,  information about hills or buildings that it doesn't need. But bats, we thought they were filtering out this kind of information because they simply couldn't analyze it, but it looks as if we were wrong. Recently there was this experiment with trees and a spacific[specific] species of bat, a bat called the lesser spear-nosed bat.(15) Now a tree should be a huge acoustical chalenge for a bat, right? I mean it's got all kinds of surfaces with different shapes and angles. So, well the echos from a tree are going to be a massive chaotic acoustic reflections, right? Not like the echo from a moth. So we thought for a long time that bats stoped their evaluation as simply "that's a tree". Yet it turns out that that bats or at least this particular species can not only tell that it's a tree, but can also distinguish between, say a pine tree and a disiduas[deciduous 落叶的] tree, like a maple or oak tree, just by their leaves. And when I say leaves, I mean pine neadles[needles], too. Any ideas on how it would know that?

Well, like with the moth, could it be their shape?

You are on the right track. It's actually the echo off all the leaves as a whole that matters. Now, think, a pine tree with all those little densly[densely 密集的] pack[packed] needles, those produce a large number of faint????? reflections in what's called a smooth echo.(16) The wave form is very even. But an oak, which has fewer but bigger leaves with stronger reflections, produces a jagging[jagged] wave form, or what we call a rough echo. And these bats can distinguish between the two. And not just with the trees, but with any echo that comes in a smooth or rough shape.

12题错，主旨题，以为bat只是例子，不应出现在主旨里，并且不认识A选项里的emit。从此要记住，如果通篇都在讨论一个例子，那么不要被开头的一点综述性语言所迷惑。

W: Hi, I was wondering if I can (could) talk with you about the assignment in the film theory class?
M: Of cause (course), Jill.
W: It seems that pretty much everyone else in the class gets what they are their supposed to be doing, but I’m not so sure.
M: Well, the class is for students toward (who are) really serious about film. You must have taken film courses before.
W: Yeah, in high school, film appreciation.
M: 2Hmm, I wouldn’t think that would be enough. Did you concentrate mainly on form or content?
W: Oh, definitely content. We’ve (d) watch, say, lot of*** (say Lord of the Flies), and then discuss it.
M: Oh, that approach, training (treating) film as a literature, ignoring what may *** (make it) unique.
W: I liked it though.
M: Sure. But that kind of class, well, I’m not surprised that you’re feeling a little lost. You know, we have 2 introductory courses that are supposed to be taken before you get to my course. One in film art, techniques, technical staff (stuff) and another in film history. So, students in the class usually and sure(you are in should) be pretty far along in film studies. In fact, usually the system blocks anyone trying to sign up for class they shouldn’t be taking. Oh, who has (hasn’t) taken the courses you required to do first, as prerequisites?
W: Well, 3I did have a problem with that, but I just discussed it with one of your office ** (staff), and She gave me permission.
M: Of cause. No matter how many times I tell them, they just keep on. Well, for your own good, I really suggest you dropping back and can starting at the usual place.
W: Yes, but I’ve already been in the class for 4 weeks. I hate to just drop it out especially since I find it’s so different, so interesting.
M: I guess so. Frankly, I can’t believe you’ve lasted this long. These’re pretty in depth series (theories) we’ve been discussing and you’ve been doing ok so far. Yes, but still, the program being (been) designed to progress through certain stages, like any other professional training we build on previous knowledge.
W: Then maybe you could recommend some extra reading I can do? To catch up?
M: Well, 4are you intending to study film as your main concentration?
W: No, I.. I am just interested. I .. I’m actually in marketing, but the ** (there seems) to be connection.
M: Well, in that case, if you’re taking the course just out of interest, I mean, I still highly recommend signing up for introductory class as (at) some points. But in the meantime, there’s no harm, I guess, in trying to keep up with this class. The interest is clearly there, instead of many (any) extra reading just now though. 5You could view some of the old introductory lectures, we have amount of (them on) video, that will give you a better handle on the subject. It’s still pretty tall order and, we’ll be moving right along, so you really need to stay on top of it.
W: Ok, I’ve been worned (warned). Now can (could) I tell you about my (the) idea for the assignment?

分析:
1. 主旨题 --> 和平时做的主旨题有些不一样,不是听开头就能直接选出来的,开头是说学生的困惑,但是听下去就能知道conversation的讨论延伸至学生产生困惑的原因和是否她应该退课
2.细节题 --> 有语气词出现,Hmm... 并且答案与原文出现同义替换: not enough=not..satisfactory preparation
3.问原因 -->答案在Professor提问之后,由此关注professor的提问,问题之后的答案肯定为考点
4.图表题 --> 答案d 就是在professor提问之后给的答案
                      答案b professor说了一句 I mean/ 同此类的 之后说的话肯定也是考点... (且通常会有小停顿)说明是重点 professor才会说I mean, put it simply, 或者其他的...
5.细节题 --> 听到重读的You could 就要提高警惕.. 之后出现video 就是答案了.

now, we can really talk about the fairy tale without first talking about folk tales.  
Because there is a （too） strong connection between the two youngers. these (are) two types of stories. In fact, many fairy tale started out as folk tales. So, what is the folk tale, how do you characterize them? Jeff, well, they are old stories, traditional stories, they were passed on (or lived) orally within culture from generation to generation, so they changed lots over the time. I mean, every storyteller or maybe every town (tongue) might have (had) a slightly different version of the same folk tale. That’s right, there is the local difference. that is why we say folk tale was communal. By communal, we mean they (reflex trite) reflect traits and concern of a particular community at the particular time. So essentially the same folk tale can be told in different communities with certain aspects of the tale (adaptive) adapted to fit to the community. not apply, not the plot, the details of what happened in the story would remain constant that was( threat )thread that held the tale together, all the other elements like location, characters might be modified for each audience. Ok, so what about the fairy tales? They also are found in most cultures, but how are they different from folk tales? I guess the fist question is what is the fairy tale? And don’t anyone say“a story with a fairy in it” (all want to a storyis folk, tale  )because we all know there are very few folk tales actually had those tiny (many ) creatures in them, but what else can we say about them? Mary? They seem to be less realistic than folk tale. Like something be improbable (impossible) happening. a frog turning into a prince. oh, that is another common element .(rayalty) royalty, ,a prince and princess, and a fariy tale also seem to take place in location that is nowhere and everywhere at the same time. what is the line? how do the (old) all those story start? Once upon the time, and in a far away land. in the case of folk tales, each story teller will specify a particular location in time, the time of location will differ for different story tellers. with fairy story tellers, however, the location is generally unspecified no matter who is the story teller?that is a land far away? we will come back to this point in few minutes.
I think the fairy tale is just the written version of the folk tale. well, not exactly, there is so many folk tales. for example, in the late 18th century, the green brother travelled throughout what is now German recording (to know from germany been )local folk tales. these were eventually (inventually ) published as fairy tale, but not before undergoing a process of evolution, now, a number of things happened when the oral (old ) tale getting written down, first, the language changed, it become more formal, more standard, some might say, less colorful. it is like a difference in your (a new) language been depending on what you talk to another one or writing the new letter. second, when the oral (transported) transmitted story was written down, the authoritive version with a (fairy tale version was) recognized author is created, the communal aspect get lost. the tale no longer belong to community, it belong to world ,so to speak, because of these, all elements like place and time can no longer be tailored to suit to a particular audience, so they become less identifiable, more generalizable (generally realiable) to any audience.
on the other hand, the description of character and(in ) setting can not be developed more completely. in folk tales, characters can be identified by name, but you would not know anything about them. in fairy tale, people no longer have to remember plots(plus) they written down, right? so more energy can be put into other elements of the story, like character, setting. so you get more details about the characters about where actions takes place. what people houses were (hells to) like, whether they are small cabins ,or grand palaces (policies), but it is worth investing(worse) energy, because the story in book form is not in danger of being lost. the details won't be forgotten, if the folk tale, is not repeated by each generation is maybe lost for all time. but with fairy tale it's always there in the book, waiting to be discovered again and again, another interesting difference involves the change of audience, who is the story mainly for, contrary to many people believe today, folk tale was original intended for adluts,not for children, so why is the fairy tale seem to targeted towards( for) children nowadays
这是我第一次发作业，虽然已经很落后大家了，而且错的很多，但是我要坚持。

Professor:

Hey, I know you will (all) have a lot of questions about this L***/lab assignment that’s coming up/out chemistry question. So, I want/ I’m gonna to take a little time this morning to discuss it. So, you know the assignment has to do with spec***/Spectroscopy, right? And your reading should help you get a good idea what that’s all about. But let’s talk about s***/Spectroscopy a little m****/now just to cover the basis/basics.

What is s***/Spectroscopy? While/well the simplest definition I can give you is that s****/Spectroscopy is the study of interaction between matter and light. Now visible light consists of a different colors, or wave b***/wavelengths, which together make up with/what’s called s***/spectrum, a band of colors like you could see in the/a rainbow. And all substances, all forms of matter can be distinguished, according to what wa**/wavelength of light they absorb and which ones they reflect. It’s like.. well, every element has, what we called, its own s**/spectral signature. If we can read that signature, we can identify the element. And that’s exactly what s***/spectroscopy does.

Now, l*** s***/Laser Spectroscopy, which is the focus on/of your assignment works by measuring very precisely what parts of the s***/spectrum are absorbed by different substances. And it has applications in a lot of different dis***/disciplines, and your assignment will be to choose the/a dis****/discipline ****/ that interests you and devise the/an experiment. For example, I want to/ I’m gonna talk about art. I’m interested in the art and to me, it is interesting how s**/spectroscopy is used to analyze art.

Let’s say a m*** ***/museum curator comes to you with a problem. She is come across this painting that appears to be the/an original, let’s say, a r***/Rembrandt. And she wants to acquire for her m***/museum, but she’s got a problem, she is not absolutely certain the/it’s an original.

So what do you do? How do you determine/determining whether the painting’s authentic?

Ok, think about the scientific process, you’ve got a/the question “is the painting’s a r***/Rembrandt?” So first, you’ll need to make a list of characteristics the paint would have to have to be a r***Rembrandt. Then you have to discover whether the painting in question has those characteristics. So first of all, you’ll need to know the techniques Rembrandt used when he applied painting to canvas his brushstrokes. How quickly/thickly he applied his paint, so you’d need to work with arti***/ an art historian who has expert knowledge of r**/Rembrandt’s style. You’d have to know when he created the paintings, what pigments he used, in other words, what ingredients he used to make different colors of paint, ‘cause the ingredient used in paints and b**/binding a**/agents **/plus **/varnishes finishes, **/what have you, have changed over time.

Since you’re trying to verify its/that’s a r***/Rembrandt, the ingredients in the pigment will/would need to have been used during r**/Rembrandt’s lifetime in the 17th century. And that’s very/where chemistry concept/comes in. You’ve got to find what’s in those pigments, learn the composition and that requires lab works, detected/detective work really and work s***/ in a word, Spectroscopy.

So how do we used s**/Spectroscopy? Well, we put an in**/infrared microscope, a s****/spectroscope, a/on tiny tiny bits of paint. And using ultraviolet light we can see the s***/spectral signature of each component part of the pigment. Then we compared these signatures with those of particular elements, like zinc or lead, to determine what the pigment was made up/of. So you can see why this type of analysis requires the/a knowledge of the history of pigments, right? How and when they were made? Say, we determined the pigment made with zinc. For example, we know the special signature zinc and it matches that of the paint sample. We also know that the zinc was discovered until 18th century. And since r** l***/Rembrandt lived during the 17th century, we know he couldn’t have painted it.

Now s***/Spectroscopy has a very distinctive advantage over previous method in/of analyzing our works, because it’s not invasive, you don’t have to remove beaches/big chips of paint to do your analysis, which were/is what other methods required. Are/All you do is train the microscope or tiny f**/flecks of paint and analyze them?

Now a word or two about r***/restoration. Sometimes original art works appears questionable or inauthentic because they’ve have/had so many restorers at/add touchup layers to cover up a damage, damage from the paint having deteriorated every/over time. While/Well, s***/spectroscopy can review the composition of those touchup layers, too. So we can find out when they were applied. Then if we want to undo some bad **/restoration attempts, we can determine what kind of process we can use to remove them to dissolve the paint and uncover the original.

Now we can’t rarely/really talk about F**tale/fairy tales without first talking about Folktales, because this/there is strong connection between these two g***/genres. These two types of stories, in fact, many F**tale/fairy tales started out as folktales. So what’s folktale? How would you characterize them, Jeff?

Jeff: Well, they are old stories, traditional stories. They are passed down all **/orally within culture from generation to generation, so they changed a lot overtime. I mean, every story teller or maybe every town, might have had a slightly different version of the same folktale.

Professor: That’s right. There’s local difference and that’s why we say folktales are a communal. By communal, we mean, they reflect the t**/traits and the concerns of a particular community at a particular time. So essentially, the same tale could be told in the different communities with certain aspects in/of the tale adapted to fit this/the specific community. Not ***/the plot, the details of what happened in the stories would remain constant. That was the thread the h**/held the tale together. But all the other elements, like the location or characters, might be modify/modified for each audience.

Ok, so what about f**tale/fairy tales? They also are found in most cultures, but how are they different from folktales? I guess the first question is what is a f**tale/fairytale. And though/don’t everyone say “a **/story was/with a f**/fairy in it”, because we all know that very few f**tales /fairytales actually have those tiny, magical creatures in them. But what else can we say about them? Marry?

Marry: Well, they seem to be less **/realistic than folktales, like they have something improbable happening. A f**/frog turning into a prince say. Oh, that’s another kind of/common element, royalty, a prince or princess. And f**tale/fairytales all seems to take place in the/a location that’s nowhere and everywhere at the same time.

Jeff: What’s the l**/line-up? How do all those/the stories start?

Professor: Once **/upon a time, and/in a far away land, in the case of folktales, each story teller would specify a particular location and time, All/though the time and location would differ for different story tellers. With f**tales/fairytales, however, the location is generally unspecified, no matter who the story teller is, that land far away. Welcome/We’ll come back to this point in a few minutes.

Jeff: I thought that the/a f**tale/fairytale was just the/a written version **/of an oral over folktale.

Professor: Well, not exactly. Though that is how many f**tales/fairytales about/developed. For example, in the late 18th century, the Green/Grimm Brothers’ trouble/traveled throughout what’s was now Germany, recording local folktales. These were adventurelly/eventually published as f**tales/fairytales, but not before undergoing a process of ***/evolution.

Now a number of things happen when would all/an oral tales gets written down. First, the language changes. It becomes more formal, more standard, some might say, less colorful. It’s like the difference in your language depending on whether you’re talking to someone or writing them the/a letter. Second. When the only/an oral transmitted story is written down, and the **/an authoritive version with a recognized author was/is created. The communal aspect is/gets lost. The tale no longer belongs to the community. It belongs to the world, so it/to speak. Because of this elements like present/place and time can no longer be teller to suit a particular audience. So it/they become less identifiable, more generalizable to any audiences.

On the other hand, this description of characters and settings can be developed more completely. In folktale, characters might be identified by a name. But you wouldn’t know any thing more about from them. But in f**tales/fairytales, people no longer have to remember plots. The/They’re written down, right? So, more energy can be put into other elements of stories/y, like character and setting. So you get more details about the characters, about what the action takes place, what people’s houses would like, whether their small cabin or ** **/grand palaces. And it’s worth investing that energy, because the story now in book form, isn’t in endangered of being lost. Those details won’t be forgotten. If folktale isn’t repeated by each generation, it is maybe lost for all time. But with the/a f**tale/fairytale, it is always there in the/a book, waiting to be discovered again and again.

Another interesting difference involves the changing audiences. Who the story/ies are meant for? Contrary to what many people believed today, folktales were originally intended for adults, not for children. So why is it the/that f**tale/fairytales seem targeted toward children nowadays?

W: Yes, of course, Eric. I think there is/was something I wanted to talk to you about, too.
M: Probably my late essay.
W: Ah, that must to be it. I thought maybe I’ve lost it.
M: No, I’m sorry. Actually it was/is my computer that lost it, the first draft of it, and well, anyway, I finally put it in your mail box yesterday.
W: Oh, and I haven’t check the mail box yesterday. Well, I’m grade/glad it’s there. I’ll read it this weekend.
M: Well, sorry again, say, I can send it to you by email **/too if you like.
W: Great. I’ll be interested to see how **/all it came/comes out.
M: Right. I’ve just **/have heard some graduates students’ talking. Something about the/a party for/by Dean Adams?
W: Retirement party. Yes. All students are invited. Wasn’t there any notice on the anthropology department’s bulletin broad/board?
M: Oh, I don’t know. But I want to offer/wondered if I would help out with it. You know, whatever, you need. Dean Adams, I took a few anthropology classes with her and they were great, inspiring. That’s why I want to *** ***/pitch in.
W: Oh, that’s very thoughtful of you, Eric. But It’ll be pretty low key, nothing flashing/flashy?, does/That’s not her style.
M: So, there is nothing?
W: No, we’ll have coffee and cookies. Maybe a cake, But actually, a couples of the administrative **/assistants are working on there/that. You could ask them, but I think they’ve got a covered.
M: Ok.
W: Actually, oh, no never mind.
M: What is it?
W: Well, it’s nothing to do with the party, and I’m sure there are more exciting ways that you could to spend your time. But we do need some help with something. We’re compiling/Work pilling a database for/of articles the anthropology ** **/faculty has published. There’s more/not much gloring/glaring, but we’re looking for someone with knowledge of anthropology who can **/enter the articles. I hesitate to mention it. But I don’t suppose there is something you would…
M: No, that sounds kind of cool. I’d like to see what they are writing about.
W: Wonderful, and they are some unpublished studies. Do you know Dean Adams did a lot of field research in In***/Indonesia? Most of them haven’t been published yet.
M: No, like what?
W: Well. She is really versatile. She just spend/t several months studying social interaction/indirections and/in I***/Indonesia. And she’s been influential in anthropology. And she’s also done work with/in South of America, that/this is closer to biology, especially with speciation.
M: Oh, not to seem, uniformed.
W: Well, how’s species formed? You know, how two distinct/distinguish species formed from one? Like when populations of the same species are of isolation from each other and then develop into two different directions and end up with two distinct/distinguish species.
M: Interesting.
W: Yes. And what/while she was **/there in South of America, she connected/colleted a lot of linguistic information and songs, really fascinating.
M: Well, I hate to see her leave.
W: Don’t worry. She’ll still be around. She’s got lots of projects so/that she’ s still in the middle of.

M: Hi, I’m a new here. I..um.. couldn’t come to students’ ***/orientation, and I’m wondering if you can give me a few quit/quick points about this library. I’d really appreciate it.
W: Sure. I’ll be glad to. What’s your major area of study?
M: Latin American Literature
W: Ok. Well, over here’s the section where we have language, literature and the arts. And if you go down stairs, you’ll find the history section. Generally, the students who concentrated in Latin American Literature find themselves researching in the history section a lot.
M: Um… You’re right. I’m a transfer student. I’ve early/already done a year in another university, so I know how the research can go. That’s been/that spent a lot of time in/on the history section. So.. how long can I borrow books for?
W: A long/Our loan period is a month. Oh, I should also mention that we have an inter-library long/loan service. If you need to get to hold of the/a book that **/not in the/our library, there is a check/truck that runs between art/our library and a few other public and university library/ies in this area. It comes around 3 times a week.
M: Hey, that’s great. At my last school, it can take a really long time to get the materials I needed. So when I have/had a project, I had to make a plan way in advance. This sounds much faster. Another thing I was wondering is, is there a place I can bring my computer and hold/hook it up?
W: Sure, there is whole/a hall area here on the main floor where you can bring a laptop and put/plug it in for power. But on top of that, we also have a connection for the Internet **/that every sit/seat.
M: Nice! So I can do all the research I need to do right here on/in the library. I’ll have the resources, of/all the books and information I need right here in one place.
W: Yeah, that’s the idea. I’m sure you’ll need photo copy use/copiers, too. They’re download ** you left/There is down the hall to the left. We have a system where you have to use your copy cards, so you’ll need to buy a card for/from the front desk. You **/would insert it into in the machine and you’ll ready it into make/the copies.
M: How much do you guys/get charge?
W: 7 cents a copy.
M: Oh, that’s not too bad. Thanks. Um, where’ the connection/collection of the real/rare books?
W: Real/Rare books are upon the second floor. There’re in the second/separate room where the temperatures controlled to preserve the old paper in them. You need to get special permission to access them, then you’ll have to wear gloves to handle them, cause the oil of our hands, you know, can destroy the paper, and gloves prevent that. So we have a basket of gloves in the room.
M: Ok, thanks. I suppose that’s all I need to know. You’re been very helpful. Thanks.
W: Anytime. Bye.
M: Bye.
