Now, back to the news. An early morning fire damaged the historic Geller House today. It destroyed the third floor of the building, but fire fighters saved the first and second floors.

Five years ago, it was made into a building for the elderly.Several fire departments were called to the scene.

Now I’d like to talk to you about the final exam. The exam will be held next Tuesday, the last day of the exam week. Remember to bring two or three pens in case you run out of ink. Unlike the midterm, this test will not include multiple-choice questions. It’ll consist entirely of essays. You must answer three of the five essay questions, the exam will be comprehensive, which means you’ll be responsible for all of the subject matter we’ve covered in class. I would suggest you review your midterm’s as well as the text book and your class notes. The final will count for 50% of your grade in the course. The research project will count for 20%, and the midterm 30%. I’ll be in my office nearly all day on Monday next week. Good luck with your studying, and I’ll see you on Tuesday. What should the students bring with them to the exam()
A final copy of the research project.
B. Copies of the midterm.

Hi, Jim. This is Jane. You missed a wonderful movie last night. Too bad you had to study for that history test. Anyway, I really wish you had been able to go with us. It was one of the most beautiful films I’ve ever seen. Oh, I don’t mean beautiful because of the scenery. As a matter of fact, the land where they made the film wasn’t beautiful at all. The beautiful thing was the way the actors played their parts. You know me. I am not usually easily moved, but a couple of times I almost cried. Once when the farmer in the film was standing in the middle of his wheat field. There had been hardly any rain for a good harvest. A dust storm destroyed his whole crop. The actor acted the part so simply that the whole story came to life. I don’t think he ever said a word. He just stood there looking over the field and then down at his empty hands. Well, I won’t go on and on about it. Promise me you’ll see it soon! When was the movie on show()
A. Tonight.
B. Last night.
C. Tomorrow.
