Have you ever read anything about pseudo sciences?

You mean fake sciences? Yes. In fact I was just reading some articles about the brain. I have been looking through some of my roommates science magazines and I came across an article on phrenology.

Phrenology, wasnt that the pseudo science founded by the scientist Franz Gall?

Yes. Gall maintained that peoples characters could be determined by the size and the shape of their skulls. For example he though that a pump in a certain place on the head means that the person had the ability of a musician.

Really? I wonder what phrenologists would say about the bumps on my head. Would they say I have the abilities to be a doctor, or a plumber, or a thief.

Well, Im not sure exactly what the connection is between a persons abilities and the physical characteristics of the head. But although theres no scientific basis for phrenology, it is true that the bead is the center control for the rest of the body.

I guess you are right. Scientists now know that different parts of the brain control different parts of the body.

Yes. And I wouldnt be surprised that the scientists one day discover that certain aspect of phrenology has scientific application.

36. According to phrenology, what determines a persons character?

37. What does the woman say about the sections of the brain?

PART C

38 to 42 Talk given in a library science class.

In the early 1800s, the paper industry was still using rags as its basic source of fiber as it had for many centuries. However the rag supply couldnt keep up with the growing demand for paper. The United States alone was using 250 thousand tons of rags each year. And a quarter of that had to be imported. It was clear that a new source of fiber was needed to keep up with the demand for paper. The answer to this problem turned out to be paper made from wood pulp, something that was abundantly available in north America. IN Canada, the first wood pulp mill was set up in 1866 and it was immediately successful. But while wood pulp solved the problem of quantity it created a problem of quality. Wood contains a substance called lignin. The simplest way to make large quantities of cheap paper involved leaving the lignin in the wood pulp. But lignin is acidic and its presence in paper has shorten the life expectancy of paper from several centuries for rag pager to less than a century for paper made from wood pulp. This means that books printed less than a hundred years ago are already turning yellow and beginning to disintegrate, even though books printed much earlier maybe in the conditions. This is bad enough for the older books on your bookshelf but it opposes a huge problem for libraries and the collections of government documents.

38. What does the speaker mainly discuss?

39. What did the paper industry need a new source of fiber in the early 1800s?

40. What can inferred about the first wood pulp mill in Canada?

41. According to the speaker, what is the problem with lignin?

43 to 47 Radio announcer talking about a current topic.

A recent report has shown that here in the United States, weve experienced an evolution concerning our attitudes towards the workweek and the weekends. Although some calendars still mark the beginning of a week as Sunday, more and more of us are coming to regard Monday as the first day of the week with Saturday and Sunday comprising the two-day period thought as the weekend. In fact the word weekend didnt even exist in English until about the middle of last century. In England at that time, Saturday afternoons had just been added to Sundays and holidays as a time for workers to have off from their jobs. This innovation BECame common in the United States in the 1920s, but as the workweek were shortened during the Great Depression of the 1930s, the weekend expanded to two full days - Saturday and Sunday. Some people thought that this trend would continue due to increasing automation and the workweek might decrease to four days or even fewer. But so far this hasnt happened. The workweek seems to have stabilized as forty hours made up of five eight-hour days. After this commercial Ill be back to talk about the idea of adding Monday to the weekend.

43. What is the speaker mainly discussing?

44. According to the speaker, what is changing in the way people think about the week?

45. According to the speaker, how has the amount of time people work changed from the early part of the century?

46. What does the speaker imply about the workweek in England in early 1800s?

47. According to the speaker, what affect did some people think the increasing use of automation would have

48 to 50 A professor talking to her music students.

I dont think I have told you about my trip to Tanglewoods music festival. When I was in college, I won a music competition and the prize was a week at Tanglewood. Anyway it is one of the worlds most famous music festivals and the summer pome the Boston Symphony Orchestra. It is located in the beautiful Berkshire Hills in New England. The summer musical season consists given over about mine weeks: from just 1st through the first week in September. The biggest stars on the music scene appear here. The year I went I was Lucky enough to see Leonard Bemstein conducting. I understand it is sometimes hard to get tickets but of course mine were a part of the prize. If you want to sit inside the tickets are expensive. Its much cheaper to sit outside on the lawn. But it might rain, or sometimes it is really cool even in the summer. Either way the sound system is Excellent. So it doesnt really matter where you sit. I seem to recall that the festival got started in the 1930s. Some Berkshire residents invited a symphony orchestra to perform a few outdoor concerts. The concerts were so successful that after a couple of years that things really took off. And the festival has got bigger and better every year. Attending was such a wonderful experience. Id love to be able to go again. And I hope that all of you would be able to go too.

48. Why did the professor originally go to Tanglewood?

49. According to the professor, what is the disadvantage of sitting on the lawn?

50. What does the professor imply about the festival?

51. What is the killdeers nest in parking lot an example of?

52. According to the speaker, what is a possible reason that birds began to build nests in trees?
