[02:17.35]Passage One

[02:19.00]Hello!I'm Julie Handerson.Before we start our first lab,I'd like to tell you a little bit about the workbook we will be using.

[02:28.72]The first thing I'd like to point out is that the workbook contains a great large amount of material far more than you could ever handle in a single semester⁹.

[02:38.48]What you are supposed to do is to choose the experiments and the activities that you want to do with their certain favorite course.

[02:46.30]Part of my job is to help you to make your choices.

[02:50.19]Next I'd like to mention that in each work from chapter there are usually two subsections,the first is called experiments,the second is called activities.

[03:02.41]In the experiment section the workbook gives full instructions for all of the experiments including alternative procedures,you may use the procedure¹⁰ you wish on the basis of available equipment or personal preference.

[03:17.09]In the activity section,you'll find suggestions for many experiments,exercises and projects that you can do on your own time.

[03:26.39]You'll see that there are usually no detailed¹¹ instructions for the activities,you're supposed to do them in your own way.

[03:33.66]OK,let's turn to Chapter One now.

[03:36.56]11.What is the instructor¹² describing?

[03:40.76]12.What is the main idea of the talk?

[03:44.42]13.How are the activities different from the experiments?

[03:49.69]14.When would this talk be given?

[03:53.61]Passage Two

[03:55.23]All big cities are quite similar.Living in a modern Asian city is not very different from living in an American city.

[04:04.11]The same cannot be said about living on farms,however.

[04:07.59]In many parts of the world,farmers and their families live in villages or towns.

[04:12.79]In the United States,however,each farm family lives on its own fields,often beyond the sight of any neighbors.

[04:20.96]Instead of traveling from a village to the fields every morning,American farmers stay on their land throughout the week.

[04:27.99]They travel to the nearest town on Saturdays for shopping or on Sundays for church.

[04:33.45]The children ride on buses to large school which serve all of the farm families living in the area.

[04:39.46]In some areas,there are small schools serving a few farm families,and the children walk to school.

[04:45.81]Of course life keeps changing for everyone,including farmers.

[04:50.19]Today there are cars,good roads,radios,and television sets.

[04:55.37]And of course there are modern machines for farming.

[04:58.50]All of these have changed farm life.

[05:01.14]For many years,however,farming in America was often a lonely way of living.

[05:06.21]Farmers had to deal with their own problems,instead of getting help from others.

[05:11.17]They learned¹³ to try new methods,and to trust their own ideas instead of following older ways.

[05:17.20]15.What is the passage maining talking about?

[05:21.91]16.Where do American farmers go shopping?

[05:26.35]17.How do children go to a large school?

[05:31.00]Passage Three

[05:32.64]Before we get to the student centre,I'd like to show you the Brummie hall,one of the five co-ed under-graduate of resident's halls at the university,just next to it is the Brummie dining-hall.

[05:46.10]Since there are only a few small kitchens in the dorms,most of students buy meal tickets which provided¹⁴ twenty meals per week at the cafeterias.

[05:58.77]It would be an exception¹⁵ of Sunday evenings and vacation breaks.

[06:03.31]Dining halls like Brummie are open everyday for breakfast,lunch and dinner,students simply present their meal tickets at the door and go through the line helping¹⁶ themselves to eat much food they wanted.

[06:17.52]While dietitians work hard to make sure students get a well balanced diet,many of our young men and women claimed that Brummie's food like most dorm food leaves much to be desired.

[06:31.52]However,there are certain times.Especially around Thanksgiving and Christmas,when the dining halls staff goes all out preparing seasonal¹⁷ specialties¹⁸ together with steak or seafood¹⁹.

[06:47.07]These dinners are always exceptional²⁰ and well attended.But regardless of the supplies of cooking,Brummie is a good place to get together with friends and to meet new people.

[06:58.82]And this is the student centre which is coming up on our right.

[07:02.53]18.Why do most students buy meal tickets?

[07:07.68]19.What does the student need in order to eat at dining-hall?

[07:12.98]20.When do students most enjoy eating at Brummie dining-hall?
