W: I haven’t seen you here for a couple of weeks. M: I’ve been spending a lot of time in the library. W: Working on a paper M: I wish I were working on a paper. I was working on three different papers: anthropology, English literature and history. W: Wow. That is a lot of work. M: Yeah. And what’s frustrating is that I’m studying the 19th century British Empire in all three classes. But I can’t write a single paper for all the three. W: Why not M: The professors won’t let me even if I make it three times as long as the suggested length. W: Oh. That’s not too bad. Could you write your paper on three aspects of one topic M: Umm, what do you mean Do you have something in mind W: Well, let’s see. Maybe you could do something with Romanticism, like: write your anthropology paper on a cultural basis of Romanticism; and your history paper on the influence of the Romantic poets on the British farm policy; and—OK—and your English paper on analysis of some Romantic poems. M: Hey. That’s not a bad idea. I’ve already started the research for one of my papers. So I can use that. What can I do to repay you W: You want wrap up my chemist lab for me M: I’d love to. But I’ve never taken chemistry. So I’m not sure you’d like the results. W: Oh, well. No thanks necessary then. Have a good weekend. And try to get out of the library and get some sleep. You have big black circles into your eyes. M: OK, I’ll try. See you later. What does file woman suggest the man do to make his work easier()

M: Welcome to Yellow Stone National Park. Before we begin our nature walk today, I’d like to give you a short history of our national park service. The national park service began in the late 1800s. A small group of explorers had just completed a month long exploration of the region that is now Yellow Stone. They gathered around the campfire and after hours of discussion, they decided that they should not claim this land for themselves. They felt it should be accessible to everyone so they began a campaign to preserve this land for everyone’s enjoyment. Two years later, in die late 19th century, an Act of Congress signed by President Ulysses S. Grant proclaimed the Yellow Stone region a public park. It was the first national park in the world. After Yellow Stone became a public park, many other areas of great scenic importance were set aside. And in 1916 the national park service was established to manage these parks. As a park ranger, I am an employee of the national park service. In the national park, park rangers are on duty at all times to answer questions and help visitors in any difficulty. Nature walks, guided tours and campfires talks axe offered by specially trained staff members. The park service also protects the animals and plants within the park. What does the speaker say about Yellow Stone national park()
A. It was the first region explored by pioneers.
B. It was the first national park.
C. It is not accessible to everyone.
D. It is not managed by the National Park Service.
For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In (61) a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend (62) can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are (63) readers. Most of us develop poor reading (64) at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency (65) in the actual stuff of language itself—words. Taken individually, words have (66) meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. (67) , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to (68) words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over (69) you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which (70) down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as (71) reads. To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an (72) , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate (73) the reader finds comfortable, in order to "stretch" him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, (74) word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible. At first (75) is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, but also your comprehension will improve.
