city planing class.

today, we will examine the role that private transportation namely the automobile plays in city planing.

A number of sociologists blame the automobile for the decline of the downtown areas of major cities. In the 1950's and 1960's, the automobile made it possible to work in the town and yet live in the  suburbs many mails away, shopping patterns changed. instead of patronizing downtown shops, people in the suburbs went to the large shopping malls outside the city and closer to their home. merchants in the city failed and their stores closed, downtown shopping area become deserted.

in recent years, there has been a rebirth of the downtown areas, as many suburbanites have moved back to the city, they have done this, of course, to avoid the highways clogged with commuters from  the suburbs.

i have chosen this particularly city planning problem, our dependence on private transportation to discuss in group, i am hoping you all will give your individual solutions. don't approach the problem from the purely sociological perspective, try to take into account environment and economical issues as well.

listen to science watch, a daily radio program.

Word comes through California, of a new weapon in the war on household pests, two scientists working for **, in California have developed a method to eliminate insects without using dangerous chemicals, the new poison, hot air.

the basic idea is that the insects cannot adjust temperatures much above normal, in laboratory experiments,  cockroaches and termites cannot survive much more than a quarter of an hour under 125 degrees fahrenheit or about 50 degrees centigrade.

the new method involves covering a house with a huge tent and filling it with air heated around 65 degree centigrade, hot air is forced in with fans and the tent kept the heating inside the house. since termites try to escape by hidding in wooden and beams, the heart treatment must be continued for a full 6 4-6 hours, but when it's all over, and the insects are dead, and there are no danger toxic residues in the house to endanger humans or pets, and no funny smells.

scientists claim that there is no danger of fire either since there if your house or very few household materials will burn at 65 degrees centigrade, in fact, wood has been is prepared for construction use by drying it in ovens at 80 centigrade which is substantially hotter than the air used in this procedure.

8.10的，昨天发不上来。

listen to a talk about a medical profession.

it seems like only yesterday that I was sitting where you are, just finishing my first year of medical school, and wondering if I'd ever get a chance to use my all learned new knowledge on the real life patient.

well, I have good news for you, you do not have to wait until the third or fourth year of medical school to get some hands-on experience, the dem dean has invited me here to tell you about the university's rural opportunity program. I you enroll in this program, you can have the opportunity this summer, after your first year of medical school, to spend from 4 to 6 weeks observing and

---

assisting the real physician. like me, in the small rural community, you won't have to compete with other students for time and attention, and you can see what life as a country doctor is really like.

the program was designed to encourage medical students like yourselves to consider careers in  rural communities that are still understaffed, it seems that medical students are afraid to go into rural family practice for two reasons, first, they do not know much about it, and second, specialists in the cities always make more money. but on the up-side, in rural practice, doctors can really get to know their patients and be respected members of the community.

I participated in the program when it was first started and spent 6 weeks in a small rural town. let me tell you, it was really great, I got to work with real patients, I watched the birth of a child, assisted in an accident victim and had lots of really practical hands-on experience all in one summer. And to my surprise, i found the country has a lot to offer that the city life doesn't. no pollution or traffic jams for instance.

my experience made me want to work where I am needed and appreciated. I don't miss the city at all.

listen to an announcement in an university class.

In the few minutes that remain of today's class, I'd like to discuss next week's schedule with you, because I'm preparing a paper at a conference in Detroit on Thursday, so I will not be here either Wednesday's or Friday's  class, I'll have ever however, be here on Monday's. Next Friday, a week from today, is the middle-term exam, marking the halfway point of the semester. Professor Andrew has agreed to administer the exam. In place of the usual Wednesday's class, I've  arrange an optional review session, since it is optional, attendance will not be taken. However, attending the class would be a good idea for those   worried about the middle-term, so remember, optional class, Next Wednesday, middle-term, Friday.

listen to part of the talk given in an anthropology class.

Today's lecture will center on prehistoric people lived in the vast of the Nevada desert. Now most of these prehistoric desert people moved across the countryside throughout the year, you might think that they were wondering aimlessly. Far from that, they actually followed a series of carefully planned moves, where they move depended on where food was available, plants were ripening and fish were spawning. Now, often, when these people move, they carry all their possessions on their backs. But if the journey is long, extra food and tools were sometimes stored in caves and or beneath rocks, one of the caves is now an exciting archeology site. Beyond the small opening is a huge underground grotto. Even though the cave is very large, it is too dark and dusty for the travelers to live in, but is it was a great place to hide things, and tremendous food supplies and artifacts were found there. The food includes dried fish, seeds and nuts. the artifact include stone spear points and knives, the spear points are actually rather small, there is a picture that we were found, you see their size in relation to the hands holding them.

今天听写了以上两段，总的感觉就是，有的单词自己知道但是没有听出来，继续加油

这一篇听得很差，主要是当时我妈妈一直在叫我干啥，弄得我心情不好，其实听听力，要一直很聚精会神的。
(woman) To us, the environment in which fish dwell often seems cold, dark, and mysterious. But there are advantages to living in water, and they have played an important role in making fish what they are. One is that water isn't subject to sudden temperature changes. Therefore it makes an excellent habitat for a cold-blooded animal. Another advantage is the water's ability to easily support body weight. Protoplasm has approximately the same density as water, so a fish in water is almost weightless. This "weightlessness" in turn means two things: One, a fish can get along with a light weight and simple bone structure, and two, limitations to a fish's size are practically removed.

Yet there is one basic difficulty to living in water --- the fact that it's incompressible. For a fish to move through water, it must actually shove it aside. Most can do this by wiggling back and forth in snakelike motion. The fish pushes water aside by the forward motion of its head, and with the curve of its body and its flexible tail. Next, the water flows back along the fish's narrowing sides, closing in at the tail, and helping the fish propel itself forward.

The fact that water is incompressible has literally shaped the development of fish. A flat and angular shape can be moved through water only with difficulty. And for this reason, fish have a basic shape that is beautifully adapted to deal with this peculiarity.

昨天听的那篇还挺简单，就是food labels
不过中途电脑重启了，听下来的东西没有了，就是有贴个原文:)
I-11-1

(man) Current studies show that what goes on labels is an important consideration for manufacturers, since more than seventy percent of shoppers read food labels when considering whether to buy a product.

A recent controversy as to whether labels on prepared foods should educate or merely inform the consumer is over, and a consumer group got its way. The group had maintained that product labels should do more than simply list how many grams of nutrients a food contains. Their contention was that labels should also list the percentage of a day's total nutrients that the product will supply to the consumer, because this information is essential in planning a healthy diet.

A government agency disagreed strongly, favoring a label that merely informs the consumer, in other words, a label that only lists the contents of the products. The agency maintained that consumers could decide for themselves if the food is nutritious and is meeting their daily needs.

The consumer group, in supporting its case, had cited a survey in which shoppers were shown a food label, and were then asked if they would need more or less of a certain nutrient after eating a serving of this product. The shoppers weren't able to answer the questions easily when they were not given a specific percentage.

This study, and others helped get the new regulation passed, and now food products must have the more detailed labels.

(woman) Good afternoon. I'm here today to talk to you about a career with our airline. We're especially interested in recruiting people to fill openings for flight attendants.

First of all, to work as a flight attendant with us, you must be accepted into our training program --- and with so many people applying, it's not easy to be selected. From the thousands of applications that we receive annually, we choose fewer than a thousand people for training. So, we require experience serving the public; and it also helps if you've earned some college credits.

Also, not everybody who gets accepted into the training program makes it through.

The course meets six days a week for five weeks. The training includes extensive classroom work in such subjects as first aid and passenger psychology as well as practical training in flight procedures and meal service. A lot of our graduates say that our fight attendants develop the skills of a nurse, a headwaiter, and a public relations executive!

But, as a flight attendant myself, I can say that all of the hard work is worth it. Of course, I get to travel throughout the country, and the airline pays all of my expenses while I'm away from my base station. And, what I like best of all is that I've made friends with people from all over the country!

listen to part of a talk in a geology class.

today, I want to talk about the earth's last major climate shift, at the end of the last ice age.

But first, let's back a moment and review what we know in climate change in general, first, we define climate as consistent patterns of weather over a significant periods of time. In general, changes in climate occur when the energy balance of the earth is disturbed, solar energy at enter the earth atmosphere is as light and it radiated by the surface of the earth as heat. Land, water and ice, each affects the climate changes differently. (The system is so complex that the best computer model only make a approximate to the hypothesis about the causes of the climatic change.) 这一段我听出来了意思，但是就是写不出来。The system is so complex that, to date, our best computer models are only crude approximations and are not sophisticated enough to test hypotheses about the causes of climatic change.
Of course, that didn't keep us from speculating. For instance, volcanical activity is one  magnism mechanism that might affect the climate change. when large volcanos erupt,they disperse tons of particle into the up atmosphere and the particles then reflect light. since less light is entering the system of energy exchange, the result would be a cooling of the Earth’s surface.

Of course, this is just one possible mechanism of the global climate change, in all probability, a complete explanation will involve several different mechanism operating at the same time.
