Yesterday we talk[color=red]ed[/color] about the [color=red]anecdote[/color]. Today we[color=red]'re[/color] going to move on to one of the most popular literary forms in Western literature [color=red]---[/color] the short story. ,Vb8E"{$x
A short story is a piece of prose fiction, usually under 10,000 words. [color=red]Although it's similar[/color] to the [color=red]anecdote[/color], it's really a separate literary form. You'[color=red]ll[/color] [color=red]re[/color]member [color=red]that the anecdote's sole purpose is to entertain[/color],[color=red] and that it[/color] does this by [color=red]relating[/color] a [color=red]curious[/color] or interesting event. [color=red]Well,[/color] there are also events in short stories, but the short story uses the event [color=red]as [/color]something a [color=red]character[/color] reacts to --- the reader's interest[color=red] is[/color] captured by the effect [color=red]that this event[/color] has on the character in the story. We're even [color=red]likely[/color] to reread [color=red]a[/color] short story to [color=red]better understand[/color] the [color=red]character[/color] who is being portrayed and why a certain event [color=red]led to a [/color][color=red]certain [/color]response or action.
A short story, though, is not just [color=red]a[/color] short novel. A novel is [color=red]narrative[/color] --- it [color=red]tells[/color] a detailed story [color=red]that[/color] usually take[color=red]s[/color] place over a long period of time. A short story is [color=red]less comprehensive[/color] [color=red]than[/color] a novel, and the focus is on a character's mental reaction to an experience --- this reaction is the heart of the short story.7D5v)TJv@q})[#S L
Now I want you to [color=red]think back[/color] to the short story you read for homework and I'll give you [color=red]a list of[/color] questions to think about.

One [color=red]reason[/color] oceanographers [color=red]analyze[/color] the sediment on the ocea floor is to see how long-term[color=red]s[/color] changes in [color=#ff0000]E[/color]arth[color=red]'s[/color] tempertaure have [color=red]effected the depth of[/color] the ocean.  By [color=red]analyzing[/color] the remains of sea animals in old layer[color=red]s[/color] in the ocean sediment. Oceanographers can determin[color=red]e[/color] the [color=red]depth[/color] ocean in the past. [color=red][color=black]They[/color][color=#000000]'[/color]ve[/color] [color=red]analyzed[/color]  100[color=red]s[/color] of such layers, including some from clodest period of the [color=red]Earth's[/color] history ---the iceages. What they'[color=red]ve[/color] found is [color=red]that [/color][color=red]during[/color] the ice ages,[color=red] the[/color] amount of water in the oceans decreased. Water levels in the ocean dropped by about 400 feet. Water from the ocean e[color=red]vaporated[/color] and became [color=red]frozen in continental glaciers, [/color]so [color=red]it [/color]didn't drain back into the ocean. When [color=red]temperatures [/color][color=red]eventually[/color] rose again, [color=red]the glaciers melted,[/color] and the oceans return[color=red]ed [/color]to their former [color=red]depth[/color]. [color=red]Analysis of[/color] sedimentery [color=red]data [/color]indicates that periods of glacious freezing and [color=red]melting [/color]occur in[color=red] regular cycles[/color] of 20000, 40000 and 100000 years,
Oceanographers [color=red]are[/color] interest[color=red]ed in[/color] the history of [color=red]seawarter[/color]l evels because they hope to use this [color=red]historic[/color] data in order to predict the possible [color=#ff0000]effect that[/color] global warming could have on [color=red]seawater[/color] levels. If industril [color=red]pollutants are capable of[/color] heating global temperatures  to the [color=red]point[/color] that [color=red]glaciers [/color]begin to melt ,it is [color=red]urgent[/color] for us to know precisely how high sea levels [color=red]will [/color]rised as result.

[size=16pt][font=Times New Roman][size=16pt]Now let's focus on comics in 1950s. [color=red]E[/color]arly in the decade s[color=red]ales[/color] were down, so publishers started looking for some new [color=red]angles[/color] to get the[color=red]ir[/color] reader's interest[color=red]ed[/color] again. They found [color=red]What[/color] they were looking for with [color=red]horror[/color] comics---stor[color=red]ie[/color]s about [color=red]ghosts[/color] [color=red]and demons[/color] th[color=red]at[/color] graph[color=red]ically[/color] [color=red]violent[/color]. [/size]
[size=16pt]Before [color=red]long[/color] m[color=red]ost[/color] of the [color=red]major[/color] publishers were [color=red]printing[/color] h[color=red]orror comics[/color]----but [color=red]it [/color]all came to a[color=red]n[/color] end a few years later. You see, there was a [color=red]psychologist[/color] named F.W [color=red]Who[/color] claim[color=red]ed[/color] th[color=red]at[/color] comic books ----the ho[color=red]rror[/color] books in particular---- were [color=red]a[/color] bad influence on children and turn[color=red]ed[/color] the[color=red]m[/color] [color=red]in[/color]to [color=red]juvenile[/color] [color=red]delinquents[/color]. W even wrote a book called the [color=red]Seduction[/color] of the [color=red]Innocent[/color] [color=red]that showed specific scenes[/color] from c[color=red]omics[/color] [color=red]that he thought were a [/color]particularly bad influence on kids.
[/size]
[size=16pt]W was[color=red]n’t[/color] the only one d[color=red]own[/color] on comics. The united state [color=red]Senate[/color] [/size]
[color=red][size=16pt]Subcommittee[/size][/color][size=16pt] on Juve[color=red]nile[/color] [color=red]Delinquency[/color] also [color=red]released[/color] [color=red]a report very critical [/color]of comics. The result of [color=red]all [/color]this [color=red]fuss[/color] was the creation of [color=red]the [/color]Comic's [color=red]code[/color] [color=red]Authority[/color] in 1995. T[color=red]his[/color] is a [color=red]self-censoring[/color] body created by the publishers. [color=red]E[/color]ssentially, [color=red]for a comic book to be [/color]approved by the code, it [color=red]had to [/color]be free of the [color=red]blood and gore[/color] that [color=red]was[/color] usually [color=red]depicted in[/color]
most ho[color=red]rror[/color] comics, and evil could never [color=red]triumph[/color] [color=red]over[/color] good. [color=red]C[/color]hildren had to [color=red]be[/color] show[color=red]n[/color] that crime did not pay.[/size]RSww$vwI9FZ{
[size=16pt]*GU4PH(S\
Well, if comic sales were bad in 1950, things got even worse in 1955. Many small publishers actually went out of business. But the industr[color=red]y[/color] [color=red]rebounded[/color] [color=red]by[/color] introducing a new [color=red]lineup of superheroes, [/color]characters like Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four. Now, I[color=red]'ve brought with me today some[/color] comic books from this era to [color=red]pass around[/color]. They're from my own personal collection, so please be extra careful when handling them.[/size].\3jr.G[#{K
[size=16pt]小小被打击了下，这篇文章，哎，总结下，依旧是语音的问题，现在每天把听过的拿来精听，感觉有提高，但是，哎，做题还是挺烂的，是我听得太少了么。。。。。。[/size]X R9f4^ w@fa

[font=Times New Roman]As you probably know, log structures are gaining in popularity. [color=red]They[/color] are no longer just [color=red]the [/color]simple [color=red]country[/color] home[color=red]s that[/color] we think of traditional log [color=red]cabin[/color]. Some up[color=red]scale[/color] home[color=red]s[/color] now [color=red]incoporate [/color]natural round log[color=red]s[/color] [color=red]in ceiling[/color] be[color=red]ams[/color] [color=red]and[/color] wall[color=red]s[/color]. People seem to think the rounded log[color=red]s[/color] give their homes [color=red]a[/color] cozy atmosphere, [color=red]warm atmosphere.[/color] And even people [color=red]Who [/color]want to build [color=red]a[/color] traditional log [color=red]cabin [/color]on the[color=red]ir[/color] [color=red]own [/color]can buy a kit with pr[color=red]ecut[/color] log[color=red]s[/color] that fit together like [color=red]pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.[/color][/font]
[font=Times New Roman][/font]oE2A xJ$t:S:dl d
[font=Times New Roman][color=red]Before showing you some slides[/color] of modern log houses, I'd like to give [color=red]a [/color]little histor[color=red]ical[/color] background on the subject: Log [color=red]cabins[/color] w[color=red]ere[/color] first build in late 1600’s [color=red]along[/color] [color=red]the Delaware
River valley[/color]. The European immigrants [color=red]who[/color] set[color=red]tled[/color] there [color=red]brought[/color] centuries-[color=red]old[/color] traditions of working with logs. And [color=red]in[/color] this heavily w[color=red]ooded[/color] area, logs were the material [color=red]at[/color] hand. [/font]
[font=Times New Roman][/font]^r"W,kVN
[font=Times New Roman]Log [color=red]cabins[/color] were most popular in the early 1800’s with the settlers [color=red]who were[/color] moving west. They provide the answer to the pioneers' need for safe and st[color=red]urdy[/color] home that [color=red]an[/color] [color=red]ordinary[/color] family could build quickly: They [color=red]had dirty floors[/color] and [color=red]sliding boards[/color] for window[color=red]s.[/color][/font]
[font=Times New Roman][/font] d0JN Q/F
[font=Times New Roman]But [color=red]the log[/color] buildings that [color=red]have [/color]probably [color=red]had[/color] most influence on modern architects [color=red]are[/color] those [color=red]of the[/color] mountain [color=red]retreats of[/color] wealth[color=red]y[/color] NY. [color=red]These[/color] country houses which [color=red]were [/color]popular in [color=red]the early [/color]1900’s, [color=red]typify[/color]. What's know as the [color=red]Adirondack[/color] style.[/font]s yq-|]:B1`)ww
[font=Times New Roman][/font]
[font=Times New Roman]Now let's look those [color=red]Slides[/color]…[/font]*M ?Yfg7w E?
[font=Times New Roman][/font]

[font=Times New Roman]The old Canada road is a long-lost trail between the [color=red]Canadian[/color] province of [color=red]Q[/color] and M, [color=red]in the northeast corner[/color] [color=red]of [/color]the US. Yes, it really was lost, and f[color=red]ingding[/color] it again was a complex process, that [color=red]involved[/color] state-of-the-art technology. How the location of the road was [color=red]pinpointed[/color] was very interesting, [color=red]and I’ll[/color] return to it [color=red]as[/color] soon [color=red]as[/color] I have given you a [color=red]little[/color] background information.[/font]V'^3@A5iv9Bc
[font=Times New Roman] [/font]5Z8hK#v0^C8W
[font=Times New Roman]The road was begun on 1817, [color=red]a [/color]few years before M [color=red]even became[/color] a state, at the time, Q was a major market of livestock [color=red]Crops[/color] and fish, so [color=red]a road[/color] to Q was seem [color=red]by officials[/color] [color=red]in [/color]M [color=red]as[/color] necessary for [color=red]trade[/color]. For about 20 years, the movement of people and goods was mostly from M to Q, but [color=red]then[/color] [color=red]the trade[/color] reversed [color=red]as[/color] thousands of [color=red]Canadians[/color] immigrated to M to escape poor cr[color=red]o[/color]ps, lack of jobs and the [color=red]threat of [/color]disease. I think was a [color=red]cholera epidemic.[/color][/font]
[font=Times New Roman] [/font]
[font=Times New Roman]Besides these negative reasons, major building [color=red]project[/color] in M also [color=red]made [/color]the states [color=red]very [/color]attractive for [color=red]Canadians[/color] [color=red]who needed [/color]work. I should st[color=red]ress,[/color] though, [color=red]that [/color]immigration during that period went in both [color=red]directions[/color]. In fact, the [color=red]flow[/color] of people [color=red]and[/color] goods went complete[color=red]ly[/color] [color=red]unhindered[/color]. [color=red]There[/color] wasn't even [color=red]a[/color] [color=red]border[/color] post until around 1850. [color=red]T[/color]he people of the time saw M and Q as a single region, mainly because of a strong French influence, which is still [color=red]evident[/color] [color=red]in[/color] M today[/font]
[font=Times New Roman] [/font]g(i2^}.kC(Kg`ql
[font=Times New Roman]Eventually, the road [color=red]fell[/color] [color=red]in[/color]to [color=red]disuse[/color] [color=red]as a major railway was completed;[/color] finally people [color=red]simply[/color] forget about it, and that's [color=red]how it came[/color] to be lost. This brings me back to the regional topic.[/font]

[font=Times New Roman]Ok, in the last class we talk about the classification of trees, and we [color=red]ended up with a[/color] [color=red]basic[/color] description of [color=red]angiosperms[/color], you remember that those a plant’s with [color=red]true[/color] flowers, and see[color=red]ds[/color] [color=red]that[/color] develop in[color=red]s[/color]ide [color=red]fruits[/color]. [color=red]T[/color]he common broadl[color=red]eaf[/color] trees we have on campus [color=red]fall[/color] in[color=red]to[/color] this [color=red]category[/color] but the [color=red]our pines[/color] don't[/font]M"e c6uJ

[font=Times New Roman] [/font]
[font=Times New Roman]To get [color=red]started[/color], let me describe a couple of [color=red]broadleaf[/color] trees, we have[color=red] in front of us[/color], I am sure you [color=red]have all noticed [/color]this big tree next [color=red]to Brant Hall.[/color] It's a black w[color=red]alnut[/color] that must be 80feet [color=red]tall[/color], as matter of fact, [color=red]there’s[/color] is [color=red]plaque[/color] [color=red]identifying[/color] it [color=red]as[/color] the tallest [color=red]black walnut [/color]in the state.

They[color=red]’ve[/color] American [color=red]elms[/color], the [color=red]ones[/color] along the commons [color=red]were[/color] planted [color=red]when[/color] the college found[color=red]ed[/color] [color=red]120[/color] years ago. They have the [color=red]distinctive[/color] [color=red]dark[/color] green l[color=red]ea[/color]ves that look lop[color=red]sided[/color] because the 2 sides of le[color=red]af[/color] are unequal, I want [color=red]you [/color]to [color=red]notice[/color] the elm [color=red]right[/color] outside Jackson hall. Some of [color=red]its[/color] l[color=red]ea[/color]ves have [color=red]withered[/color] [color=red]and [/color]turn[color=red]ed[/color] yellow, maybe [color=red]due to Dutch [/color]disease.

帮你顶一下，我昨天听了一篇老文章，并总结了一下，打算边听边背

[font=Times New Roman][size=3]Listen to a conversation between two students[/size][/font]|{-paG\qK*C
[font=Times New Roman][size=3]W: [color=red]So how do you like living[/color] in the renovated dorms?[/size][/font]-li S3s&JHc(?
[font=Times New Roman][size=3]M: [color=red]There aren’t much different than[/color] the old dorms[color=blue], just some[/color] new pane and windows.

[color=red]The street’s just outside, but I can barely hear the traffic.[/color][/size][/font]TF4q4o@Q5Pk
[font=Times New Roman][size=3]W: They must be good windows. [color=red]I bet[/color] they must have double panes and glass. They shut off a lot of noise [color=blue]that [/color]the single pane wouldn’t stop.[/size][/font]7K2i R.dS1_^
[font=Times New Roman][size=3]M: Yeah, I wish I had something[color=blue] just the factor[/color] between me and my [color=red]neighbor’s [/color]room. [color=blue]Sometimes[/color] he [color=blue]turns up[/color] the music [color=red]so loud that[/color] I [color=red]have trouble getting into sleep[/color]. [color=blue]Anyway[/color][color=red] I guess[/color] I [color=red]am better off than[/color] the people who [color=blue]move into[/color] the new dorms. [color=red]Did you see[/color] how thin the walls are that they putting into those rooms?[/size][/font]
[font=Times New Roman][size=3]W: I didn’t see them but I [color=blue]did read[/color] something [color=blue]about[/color] them [color=blue]in[/color] the campus newspaper. They [color=red]are supposed to be better than[/color] thick concrete wall that
[color=blue]you’ve got here[/color].[/size][/font]
[font=Times New Roman][size=3]M: Better? How?[/size][/font]
[font=Times New Roman][size=3]W: [color=blue]Well, what they doing[/color] is [color=blue]separating[/color]
each room [color=blue]with[/color] 2 thin layer of plasterboards and each one is nailed to a different frame. [color=red]That way they vibrate independently[/color].[/size][/font]Kq)D R+^}bD{
[font=Times New Roman][size=3]M: Oh, I see, [color=blue]so the sound from one room[/color] doesn’t [color=blue]just[/color] vibrate the wall and [color=blue]go directly[/color] into next room. There is a gap between 2 layers of wall.[/size][/font]s/e E*Fc y yi/r

[font=Times New Roman]Today I want to talk to you about wasps and their nests. You[color=red]’ll[/color] recall the biologists d[color=red]i[/color]vide the species of wasps into 2 groups: [color=red]solitary[/color] and social.[/font]
[font=Times New Roman] [/font]
[font=Times New Roman]S[color=red]olitary[/color] was the name impli[color=red]es,[/color] don't live together with other wasps. In most species the male and female get together only to mate, and then the female does all of the work [color=red]of [/color]building the nest and providing food for the offspring by herself. So[color=red]litary[/color] wasps usually make nests [color=red]in[/color] the ground, and they separate the cham[color=red]b[/color]ers for [color=red]individual[/color] offspring [color=red]with bits[/color] of grass, stone, or mud, whatever is hand[color=red]y.[/color][/font]
[font=Times New Roman] [/font]
[font=Times New Roman]What about social wasps? They form community and work together to build [color=red]and[/color] maintain the nest. A nest begin[color=red]s[/color] in the spring when the [color=red]fertile[/color] female, called [color=red]the [/color]queen, build[color=red]s[/color] the first few compartments of nest and lays eggs. The first offspring [color=red]are[/color] small females [color=red]that [/color]can not lay eggs. These females called work[color=red]er[/color]s then build a lot of new compartments, and [color=red]the[/color] queen lays more eggs. They also care [color=red]of[/color] the new offspring and defend the nest with their stingers. By the way, only female wasps have stingers.[color=red][/color][/font]X,eP4j9o;@
[font=Times New Roman] [/font]u%m[ e_*VJT7r
[font=Times New Roman]Most social wasps make nests of paper. The females produce the paper by chewing up plant fibers or old wood. They spread the paper in thin layers to make cells in which the queen lays her eggs. Most of you, I'm sure, have seen these nests suspended from trees. They may also be built underground in abandoned rodent burrows. [/font]8sox4vY(mb#i

[font=Times New Roman]Before moving on to new topic, I want [color=red]to [/color]finish [color=red]up[/color] [color=red]our unit[/color] [color=red]arachnids[/color] by looking at what [color=red]may[/color] see[color=red]m[/color]
[color=red]a [/color]very unusual [color=red]aspect[/color] [color=red]of [/color]spider behavior----- a [color=red]species[/color] [color=red]where[/color] the young spider actually consume the body of their mother.[/font]
[font=Times New Roman] [/font]5vD`^0O%a7j$h)s9m9Y/M
[font=Times New Roman]Unlike most other spider[color=red]s,[/color] this species lays one ----and only one----- [color=red]clutch[/color] of 40 eggs [color=red]in her[/color] lifetime. The [color=red]young[/color] spiders hatch in mid-spring or early summer, inside [color=red]a nest[/color] [color=red]of eucalyptus leaves.[/color] Their mother spends the warm summer month[color=red]s[/color] bring[color=red]ing[/color] home large insects----often ten times [color=red]her weight[/color]------for meal. The catch is always signific[color=red]antly[/color] more than her young spiders can eat. So, the mother [color=red]fattens[/color] herself [color=red]up on[/color] th[color=red]is[/color] extra prey and stores the [color=red]nutrients[/color] [color=red]in[/color] her extra [color=red]unfertilized[/color] eggs. As the [color=red]weather[/color] turns cold[color=red]er[/color], there are fewer insect prey to hunt. That's when the [color=red]nutrients[/color] store[color=red]d in[/color] those extra eggs begin to [color=red]seep[/color] [color=red]into [/color]the mother's blood[color=red]stream[/color]. So, when [color=red]there are[/color] no more insects to feed to [color=red]the [/color]young spider[color=red]s[/color], they attach themselves to the mother's [color=red]leg[/color] join[color=red]ts[/color], and [color=red]draw[/color] [color=red]nourishment [/color]by sucking [color=red]the[/color] [color=red]nutrient[/color]-rich blood.[/font]I2Z9B'YW dv
[font=Times New Roman] [/font]
[font=Times New Roman]After several weeks, the mother is depleted of all nutrients and she dies. But then how do the young get nourishment? They start to feed on one another. Now, if you recall our discussion of Darwin, you'll see the evolutionary value of this: Only the strongest spiders of the clutch will survive this "cannibalism," and mother spider will have ensured that her genes have an increased chance of survival through future generations.[/font]

[font=Times New Roman]I was very glad when your [color=red]club[/color] invited me to share my [color=red]coin [/color]collection. [color=red]It’s been[/color] my passion since I collected my first Lincoln cent [color=red]in [/color]1971; that's the [color=red]current[/color] penny with Abraham Lincoln[color=red]’s[/color] [color=red]image[/color]. [color=red]J[/color]ust a little history before I start [color=red]in[/color] on my own collection. Lincoln pennies are made of [color=red]copper[/color], and they were the first United states coin to [color=red]bear[/color] the [color=red]likeness[/color] [color=red]of a president[/color]. It was back [color=red]in[/color] 1909 when [color=red]country[/color] was celebrating the [color=red]centennial[/color] of Lincoln birth in 1809. Th[color=red]at the[/color] [color=red]decision[/color] was made to redesign the one-cent piece in his honor. Before that, the penny had an American Indian head on [color=red]it[/color], the new penny was designed by artist [color=red]Victor David Brenner.[/color] This is interesting, because he put his initial [color=red]V.[/color]D.B on the reverse of [color=red]the [/color]coin as the [color=red]original[/color] design. There was a general [color=red]uproar[/color] [color=red]when[/color] the initial w[color=red]ere[/color] discovered, and only a limit number was [color=red]struck[/color] with the initials [color=red]on them[/color]. Today a penny with the initial[color=red]s[/color] from San Francisco [color=red]Mint……[/color] called the 1909-S[color=red]V[/color]DB is [color=red]worth over[/color] 500 dollars. Now…… when I started my coin collection, I began with the penny for several reason[color=red]s[/color], there were [color=red]a [/color]lot of them (s[color=red]everal[/color] hundred [color=red]billion have been minted)…..[/color] And there were a lot of people collecting them, [color=red]so[/color] I ha[color=red]d[/color] [color=red]plenty of[/color] people to trade with an[color=red]d[/color] [color=red]talk to [/color]about my collection. Also it was coin [color=red]I could afford[/color] to collected [color=red]as a [/color]young teen[color=red]a[/color]g[color=red]er[/color]. In the 25 years since the[color=red]n[/color], I have manage to acquire [color=red]over[/color] 300 coins, some of them very [color=red]rare[/color], [color=red]I’ll[/color] be [color=red]sharing[/color] with you today some of my [color=red]rare[/color] [color=red]specimens[/color], including the 1909-S[color=red]V[/color]DB.[/font]

[font=Times New Roman]Before we start [color=red]our[/color] 1st lab, I’d like to tell you a little [color=red]bit[/color] about the workbook [color=red]we’ll[/color] be using.[/font]
[font=Times New Roman] [/font]
[font=Times New Roman]The 1st thing [color=red]I’d like[/color] to point out is the workbook contains a very large amount of material----far [color=red]more than[/color] you [color=red]could[/color] ever handle in the single [color=red]semester[/color], what you[color=red]’re[/color] suppose[color=red]d[/color] to do is choose the experiments and activities [color=red]that [/color]you want do-----with[color=red]in [/color][color=black]certain [/color][color=#ff6600]framework[/color], [color=#ff6600]of course. [/color]Part of my job is to help you make your choices. [/font]Vjz5l2XB4s}
[font=Times New Roman] [/font]'^7f1?|w9Kh#Y\I
[font=Times New Roman]Next I like to mention in each [color=#ff6600]work[/color]book chapter, th[color=#ff6600]ere[/color] usually [color=#ff6600]2[/color] subsections. the first is called experiments, and second is called activities.[/font]/k)r}m@v
[font=Times New Roman] [/font]vpw![ ic P9[6U*}6]C
[font=Times New Roman]In the experiments section, the workbook gives [color=#ff6600]full[/color] instruction[color=#ff6600]s[/color] for all the experiments, including altern[color=#ff6600]ate[/color] [color=#ff6600]procedures[/color]. Choose the [color=#ff6600]procedure[/color] you wish----there is plenty of [color=#ff6600]equipment[/color] available. [/font]
[font=Times New Roman] [/font]
[font=Times New Roman]In the activities section, you'll find the [color=#ff6600]suggestions[/color] [color=#ff6600]for[/color] projects you can do or you are on time. You[color=#ff6600]’ll[/color] see th[color=#ff6600]at there are[/color] usually no detailed instructions for the activities----you are supposed to do them your own way. [/font]H1j$QXb

[font=Times New Roman]if you are no questions, let’s [color=#ff6600]turn to[/color] chapter 1 now.[/font]

[font=Times New Roman]The next style of furniture design I'd like to discuss is shaker furniture design. The shaker [color=#ff6600]are a religious group[/color] that [color=#ff6600]flourished in [/color]the 19 century US. At that time, the shakers liv[color=#ff6600]ed[/color] in [color=#ff6600]their[/color] own communities and [color=#ff6600]believed[/color] in simply. This ideal of simplicity extended to the furniture design, as you[color=#ff6600]’ll[/color] see[/font]/}@c&G}
[font=Times New Roman][/font]
[font=Times New Roman]Because the shape [color=#ff6600]of [/color]the[color=#ff6600]ir[/color] furniture wasn't supposed to be unnecessarily [color=#ff6600]decorative[/color], the furniture[color=#ff6600]’s[/color] sur[color=#ff6600]face[/color] became the only place to create the [color=#ff6600]visual [/color]pleasure. Shaker furniture use [color=#ff6600]light-colored[/color] woods [color=#ff6600]like[/color] pine, [color=#ff6600]maple,[/color] [color=#ff6600]or[/color] cherry. It was often painted blue green or yellow.[/font]
[font=Times New Roman][/font]
[font=Times New Roman]As these [color=#ff6600]slides[/color] show, some of the[color=#ff6600]ir[/color] most interesting pieces were made [color=#ff6600]for[/color] the workplace, Not[color=#ff6600]ic[/color] that [color=#ff6600]this[/color] [color=#ff6600]sewing[/color] table has draw[color=#ff6600]er[/color]s [color=#ff6600]that [/color]can be pu[color=#ff6600]lled[/color] out from [color=#ff6600]either[/color] [color=#ff6600]side[/color], these [color=#ff6600]feature enables[/color] 2 people to [color=#ff6600]sew [/color]at [color=#ff6600]the [/color]same time. [color=#ff6600]Likewise[/color], if you look closely [color=#ff6600]at [/color]these [color=#ff6600]slides[/color] of counters and [color=#ff6600]workbenches[/color], you’[color=#ff6600]ll[/color] notice that these pieces were also designed to be used f[color=#ff6600]rom[/color] more than one side. Thus several people would be able to work at one time.[/font]6DcXM/S!Q&pUp
[font=Times New Roman][/font]
[font=Times New Roman][color=#ff6600]Nowadays,[/color] shaker furniture design’[color=#ff6600]s[/color] enjoying [color=#ff6600]a[/color] [color=#ff6600]revival[/color]. [color=#ff6600]The[/color] simple but [color=#ff6600]stylish[/color] furniture ma[color=#ff6600]de[/color] by the shakers [color=#ff6600]is [/color]popular among [color=#ff6600]affluent[/color] collectors, including such [color=#ff6600]celebrities[/color] [color=#ff6600]as Bill Cosby and Oprah Winfrey.[/color] As you've seen, the [color=#ff6600]plainness[/color] of Shaker furniture makes [color=#ff6600]it[/color] [color=#ff6600]strangely[/color] mode[color=#ff6600]rn[/color] [color=#ff6600]in [/color]appearan[color=#ff6600]ce[/color]. In fact, [color=#ff6600]their[/color] [color=#ff6600]austere,[/color] [color=#ff6600]minimalist[/color] design have influence[color=#ff6600]d[/color] several modern furniture designers, some of whom, we[color=#ff6600]’ll[/color] discuss next.[/font]#M F r:m!f2KM@

[font=Times New Roman]We’[color=red]ve[/color] probably all wondered how a new word gets into the dictionary. Take the word ‘doofus’, for example, spell[color=red]ed[/color] d-o-o-f-u-s, meaning a stupid of [color=red]incompetent[/color] person. This word, which has been around since the late 19[color=red]60[/color]s in the[color=red] slang sense, made it[/color] into the [color=red]Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate [/color]Dictionary only in 1993.[/font]
[color=red][font=Times New Roman] [/font][/color]
[font=Times New Roman]Why did it take [color=red]so[/color] long? Well ,first of all, dictionary editors like to wait at least 3 years to be sure the word is going to last, especially a [color=red]slang[/color] word. They don't want to put in a new word [color=red]prematurely[/color] and then have to take it out in the next [color=red]edition.[/color][color=#ff6600][/color][/font]
[font=Times New Roman] [/font]Mk0p(G X*Aqk `BF
[font=Times New Roman]But even for words that [color=red]aren’t slang, [/color]getting into the dictionary isn't easy. New words have to pass a lot of [color=red]editorial[/color] test[color=red]s,[/color] including how difficult or easy they are to look [color=red]up[/color], [color=red]There’s[/color] also a limit to how [color=red]thick a[/color] dictionary can be or how small [color=red]its[/color] type can get before people fell they don't want to use it. Some words have to come out before others can go in. the [color=red]Collegiate[/color] dictionary adds about 10,000 words to every [color=red]edition[/color]. but it takes out only a few hundred, so choices have to be made very carefully.[/font]

[font=Times New Roman]Since we[color=red]’ve[/color] be[color=red]en[/color] discussing alternative fuel[color=red]s[/color] lately, I want[color=red]ed [/color]to [color=red]pass[/color] on to you some information I read about [color=red]a [/color]new fuel that's be[color=red]en in[/color] the news a lot lately. It's called A-21.[/font]
[font=Times New Roman][/font]
[font=Times New Roman]It's composed of water and [color=red]a [/color]chemical [color=red]known[/color] [color=red]as naphtha[/color]. It seems [color=red]to be a [/color]very promising fuel because it is much cleaner than [color=red]gasoline[/color] that we used today. That's not [color=red]to [/color]say [color=red]that[/color] it doesn't pollute, [color=red]but[/color] [color=red]it [/color]is cleaner. A-21 isn't like some other alternative fuels that require completely new types [color=red]of engines[/color]. A-21 still works in regular everyday [color=red]combustion[/color] [color=red]engines---[/color] [color=red]like the ones in cars---[/color] with only [color=red]minor[/color] mechanical [color=red]modifications.[/color] So changing over wouldn't be[color=red] a big [/color]deal[color=red].[/color][/font]
[font=Times New Roman][/font]'BT7R9z r+UM}
[font=Times New Roman]You may [color=red]doubt[/color] some of these claims [color=red]as[/color] many researchers have. Some people fear[color=red]ed that [/color]because it contains about 45 percent water it [color=red]would[/color] freeze [color=red]in [/color]the winter. [color=red]But[/color] [color=red]a[/color] small amount of [color=red]antifreeze [/color]was added to it, and [color=red]that[/color] seems to [color=red]have [/color]solve[color=red]d[/color] the problem[/font]_x%} s^N
[font=Times New Roman][/font]~]5F%vPbTk([J
[font=Times New Roman][/font]
[font=Times New Roman]A-21 [color=red]has[/color] recently undergone street tests [color=red]in buses in Reno, Nevada[/color]. So far it seems [color=red]to [/color]work just fine. This is good thing, especially in the [color=red]Ne[/color]vada, because the state government there has passed a [color=red]law [/color]requiring [color=red]that a[/color] large percent[color=red]age[/color] of [color=red]vehicles in Nevada run on[/color] alternative fuels. A-21 should help.[/font]

[font=Times New Roman]Today, we’re going to continue our discussing of modern art, and talk about Charles Csuri. CC has [color=red]been a part of [/color]many [color=red]modern[/color] art movements, [color=red]He’s[/color] work[color=red]ed[/color] in[color=red] Pop art, Cubism and Conceptual Art[/color], but [color=red]he[/color] made his mark as a pioneer in computer art. Even long before computers became popular, he was [color=red]punching[/color] cards and feeding [color=red]them[/color] [color=red]into [/color]the big [color=red]mainframe[/color] computer at [color=red]Ohio[/color] state [color=red]university, [/color]In the beginning, he had to work without [color=red]a[/color] [color=red]monitor [/color]so he was virtually creating art in the dark. He even learn[color=red]ed[/color] computer programming, so he could experiment with this new tool.[/font]
[font=Times New Roman] [/font]
[font=Times New Roman]Through the computer, C has [color=red]been able[/color] to explore a new world of possibilities. For example, the computer [color=red]enables[/color][color=black] him[/color] to [color=red]sculpt in three dimensions[/color]. Also, he can look [color=red]at a[/color] sculpture from any angle, and moved it around, change the location of the light [color=red]source,[/color] or he can copy it in different colors[/font] E!|Zz6{w:r"M8zL
[font=Times New Roman] [/font]J3a4@8rPx}

[font=Times New Roman][color=red]Current[/color] studies show [color=red]that[/color] [color=red]what[/color] goes on [color=red]labels[/color] is [color=red]an[/color] important consideration for [color=red]manufacturers, [/color]since more than 70 percent of shop[color=red]er[/color]s [color=red]reaad[/color] food [color=red]labels[/color] when considering what to buy a product[/font]n"_Rn;`

[font=Times New Roman]A [color=red]recent[/color] controversy as to whether [color=red]labels[/color] [color=red]on prepared[/color] food should educate or merely inform the consumer is over, and consumer group got its way. The group [color=red]had [/color]maintained that product [color=red]labels[/color] should do more than simply list how many grams of nutrients [color=red]a [/color]food contains. Their contention was th[color=red]at labels[/color] should also list the percentage of [color=red]a day’s[/color] total nutrients that product [color=red]will[/color] supp[color=red]ly to[/color] the consumer, because th[color=red]is [/color]information is essential in [color=red]planning a healthy[/color] diet.[/font]

[font=Times New Roman]A government [color=red]agency[/color] disagree[color=red]d[/color] strongly, [color=red]favoring[/color] a [color=red]label[/color] [color=red]that[/color] merely inform[color=red]s[/color] the consumer, in other words, a [color=red]label[/color] only lists the [color=red]contents[/color] of [color=red]the[/color] product[color=red]s[/color].

[font=Times New Roman]w we're entering Kangaroo Country. In all, there are more than 50 different species of kangaroo. and [color=red]the advantage of[/color] zoos like ours
is that you see [color=red]them [/color]in the[color=red]ir[/color] natural habitat. The ones we have all live in the grasslands.[/font]-C^+t2e{C'mIeQ
[font=Times New Roman][/font]&F-Pb]:D jt'|
[font=Times New Roman]On my right, you can see one of the big[color=red]gest[/color] type[color=red]s[/color]: the red kangaroo, [color=red]it [/color]travels about 20 [color=red]miles[/color] per hour. It looks like hard work, but [color=red]hopping[/color] actually [color=red]lets[/color] the kangaroo cons[color=red]erve[/color] more energy than any other animal [color=red]could[/color] [color=red]when[/color] running on four legs. In fact, [color=red]up to a[/color] certain point, the fast[color=red]er[/color] the kangaroo goes, the more energy it [color=red]conserves[/color]. Rather than taking more [color=red]hops[/color] to increase speed, the kangaroo makes the [color=red]length of each[/color] jump longer.[/font]udX#ncL*dL&g:F)Q
[font=Times New Roman][/font]
[font=Times New Roman]Let's stop [color=red]here[/color] for a minute. Take a look over on your right [color=red]at [/color]this group of kangaroos resting. Can you see th[color=red]at[/color] their ears are moving? Hearing may [color=red]well[/color] be the kangaroos' most important sense. The[color=red]ir[/color] two large ears [color=red]can move[/color] independently, so sometimes one ear is [color=red]pointing[/color] forward, and the other [color=red]toward[/color] the r[color=red]ear[/color]. Kangaroos’ eyesight is also [color=red]excellent[/color]. They have a wide feel [color=red]of vision[/color] and , like most grazing animals, they are especially good [color=red]at[/color] detecting movement.[/font]
[font=Times New Roman][/font]
[font=Times New Roman]Before we move on, I’[color=red]d[/color] like to point out one more thing: If you look closely, you can see a [color=red]joey[/color]---- that's [color=red]a[/color] baby kangaroo----- p[color=red]e[/color]ering out of its mother's pouch. Before long that jo[color=red]ey[/color] will be out of the pouch for good. The mother will push it out by the time [color=red]it’s[/color] 18 months old.[/font]

[font=Times New Roman][color=red]Before we adjourn[/color], I'd like to remind everybody about [color=red]the [/color]upcoming [color=red]fundraising[/color] event, the [color=red]ten kilomerter run[/color]. the [color=red]run is being[/color] organized [color=red]to help raise[/color] money for the renovation of the old [color=red]gym[/color]. [color=red]Our gym is in[/color] desperate need [color=red]of [/color]repair, and the university must rely [color=red]entirely [/color]on pr[color=red]ivate[/color] [color=red]donations to[/color] pay for its renovation. This event would be the students’ contribution to the effort.[/font]
[font=Times New Roman][/font]0^Zuy[`"c%Y
[font=Times New Roman]The [color=red]procedure for participating[/color] is quite simple. No entrance fees, no [color=red]advance registration[/color], and you don't have to be the best [color=red]athlete[/color] on campus. You only need to find [color=red]sponsors[/color] willing to contribute one or more dollars for every [color=red]kilometer[/color] of the r[color=red]ace that[/color] you can [color=red]complete[/color]. So, for example, if you [color=red]run[/color] all [color=red]ten kilometers[/color] you’ll collect 10 dollars f[color=red]rom[/color] someone who [color=red]has[/color] [color=red]pledged[/color] to give you 1 dollar [color=red]per kilometers.[/color] After the [color=red]run[/color], a [color=red]race[/color] [color=red]of[/color]ficial will [color=red]record[/color] the number of [color=red]kilometers[/color] you[color=red]’ve[/color] [color=red]completed.[/color] You can then show the [color=red]record[/color] [color=red]to your sponsors[/color] when you collect the money.[/font]gPu1f_6T:oW M
[font=Times New Roman][/font]Cj*x"{A i2O
[font=Times New Roman]You [color=red]might[/color] [color=red]encourage[/color] your friends to [color=red]run in the race[/color] by telling them [color=red]that [/color]there [color=red]will[/color] be [color=red]awards[/color] for everyone [color=red]who gets five sponsors or more.[/color] But above all, it[color=red]’ll [/color]just[color=red] be[/color] a lot[color=red] of[/color] fun.[/font]
[font=Times New Roman][/font]
[font=Times New Roman]So, please[color=red] spread [/color]the word, and get everyone involved [color=red]either as runners or sponsors[/color].[/font]
[font=Times New Roman][/font]
[font=Times New Roman]这篇听的想跳楼下去，除了知道总体是讲怎么拉赞助，细节却丢的老远老远，郁闷，gym，sponsor，run ,ten kilometer, award,不说的，细听下！[/font]

[size=10.5pt][font=Times New Roman]And as we enter this next gallery, please turn your attention to the statue on your right. It is a bust of the 7th president of the US-----A.J. It was done by American sculptor--H.P. Mr. P is particularly significant to our sculpture collection here [color=red]at[/color] [color=red]the Metropolitan[/color] Museum of Art. H[color=red]is[/color] statue [color=red]en[/color]title[color=red]d[/color] California was the first work by [color=red]an [/color]American artist to become part of the collection of the [color=red]Met. [/color]But back to this piece, when P was [color=red]modeling[/color] this bust, he ask[color=red]ed[/color] the president, who was sixty [color=red]eight [/color]years old [color=red]at [/color]the time, if he wanted to be made to [color=red]apear[/color] younger than that, [color=red]president[/color] Jackson replied he didn't, so as you can see, he[color=red]’s[/color] show[color=red]n[/color] here [color=red]with[/color] wrinkles and lines of ageing [color=red]etched on his[/color] face. Consequently, this bust is considered to be one of the most realistic[color=red] portrayals [/color]of A.J. P traveled from his [color=red]studio in Italy [/color]to the white house to do [color=red]the original[/color] study for the bust. He did the study in clay, [color=red]cut[/color] he [color=red]sculpted[/color] the final statue from fine [color=red]Italian[/color] marble, as you can see. I should add the usual practice [color=red]at the [/color]time [color=red]was[/color] to get local artisans to do the actual carving of the marble. Note th[color=red]at[/color] the president[color=red] is draped in[/color] a Roman [color=red]toga,[/color] This is because in the 19th century, that was the custom[color=red]ary[/color] [color=red]attire[/color] for representation [color=red]of heads of[/color] state and other [color=red]impoint[/color] figures. P [color=red]kept[/color] bust [color=red]in his studio until after [/color]President J's [color=red]death[/color]. when it [color=red]was[/color] [color=red]sold[/color] to the democratic club on NY city.t+bBB4g6s T1M
It was [color=red]lent to[/color] [color=red]us here at the Met[/color] in 1874 and 20 years later become part of all are [color=red]permanent[/color] collection. Now, if you[color=red]’ll step[/color] this way , we[color=red]’ll[/color] move on to the next piece.[color=red][/color][/font][/size]

[size=10.5pt][font=Times New Roman]Not long ago, some of you may have read about a team of mountain-climbing scientists who helped to recalculate the elevation of the highest mountain in the world: Mt. Everest. Of course, the elevation of Mt. Everest was determined many years ago, using traditional surveying methods. But these scientists wanted to make a more precise measurement using a new method[color=red] that[/color][color=red] takes advantage of recent advances in technology[/color]. It's called the Global Positioning System.[/font][/size].Kk1L,?-V eY*Av2u,w
[size=10.5pt][font=Times New Roman][/font][/size]
[size=10.5pt][font=Times New Roman]The Global Positioning System uses 24 satellites that circle the Earth. Each [color=red]of these[/color] satellites is constantly sending out signals. And each signal contains important information that can be used to determine the longitude, latitude, and elevation of any point on the Earth's surface.[/font][/size]
[size=10.5pt][font=Times New Roman][/font][/size]
[size=10.5pt][font=Times New Roman]Well, in order to use this system to calculate Mt. Everest[color=red]'s elevation[/color], scientists needed to put a special receiver on its summit to receive signals from the satellites. The problem with this was that, in the past, the receivers were much too heavy for climbers to carry. But now these receivers have been reduced to about the size and weight of a handheld telephone, so climbers were able to take a receiver to the [color=red]top of Everest[/color] and, [color=red]from[/color] there, to [color=red]access[/color] the satellite system signals that would allow them to determine the[color=red] precise[/color] elevation. And [color=red]it[/color] turns out that the famous [color=red]peak[/color] is actually a few [color=red]feet [/color]higher than was previously thought.[/font][/size]

[size=10.5pt][font=Times New Roman]Human populations near the [color=red]equator[/color] have [color=red]evolved[/color] dark skin over many generations because of exposure to the[color=red] fierce rays[/color] of the Sun. A similar phenomenon has also [color=red]occurred[/color] in other parts of the animal kingdom. The African grass mouse is a good example. Most[color=red] mice[/color] are [color=red]nocturnal[/color], but the African grass mouse is active [color=red]during[/color] daylight hours. [/font][/size]U1QBN4H.g
[size=10.5pt][font=Times New Roman] [/font][/size]#Tln?$Zg+{G,Q;s
[size=10.5pt][font=Times New Roman]This means that[color=red] it[/color] [color=red]spends[/color] its days searching for food in the [color=red]semidry[/color] bush and [color=red]scrub[/color] habitats of eastern and southern Africa. Its fur [color=red]is striped,[/color] like a [color=red]chipmunk's[/color], which helps it[color=red] blend in[/color] with its environment. Because it spends a lot of time in [color=red]the intense[/color] tropical sun, the grass mouse has also evolved two separate safeguards against the Sun's [color=red]ultraviolet[/color] radiation. [/font][/size]L$_w^"f
[size=10.5pt][font=Times New Roman] [/font][/size]
[size=10.5pt][font=Times New Roman]First, like the populations of humans in this region of the world, the skin of the grass mouse contains lots of [color=red]melanin[/color], or dark [color=red]pigment[/color].[/font][/size]
[size=10.5pt][font=Times New Roman] [/font][/size]&E%lB Plp)mW8w
[size=10.5pt][font=Times New Roman]Second, and quite unusual, this mouse has a layer of [color=red]melanin-pigmented[/color] tissue between its [color=red]skull[/color] and skin. This unique "cap" provides an extra measure of protection for the grass mouse and three other types of African mouselike rodents that are active during the day. [/font][/size]d-Hx;Xl\
[size=10.5pt][font=Times New Roman] [/font][/size]"n2JK&o:q^d
[size=10.5pt][font=Times New Roman]The only other species scientists have identified with the same [color=red]sort of skull adaption[/color] is the white [color=red]tent-**[/color] bat of the Central American tropics. Although these bats sleep during the day, they do so [color=red]curled[/color] up with their heads exposed to the sun.[/font][/size]
