A. Conversation : “Students on campus”
Audio Conversation
Narator : Listen to part of a conversation on campus between two students.
Man : I wish I were as sure about my future as you seem to be but I really don’t know what I
wanto to do after I graduate.
Woman : Well, have you talked with a counselor over at the Office of Career Development ?
Man : No… I’ve talked to my academic advisor, though.
Woman : That’s good, but it’sreally better to see someone who specializes in helping people make career decisions. You see, an academic advisor is there tohelp you workout your academic program. You know, figure out what your major is going to be and which courses to take and all that. But a career counselor has a lot of experience and resources to help you decide what you want to do in the work world.
Man : Did you see a career counselor ?
Woman : I sure did. Lastsemester. I was .. well, I don’t even know what I would be good at, for a career, I mean. So I made an appointment at the office of Career Development, and I talked with a counselor.
Man : Doyou remember who it was ?
Woman : Sure. It was Ruth Jackson.
Man : Oh, but since I’m interested in careersfor math majors, probably I should see someone else.
Woman : Not really. Any of the counselors can help you. Look, I some aptitude tests and something called a career inventory. Anyway, I took several tests, and then the counselor gave me some ideas about different careers. I even went to some group sessions with some other students for a weeks. Mrs Jackson was the group leader, so um, that’s how I met her, and then I just sort of naturally started making my appointments with her when I needed some advice.
Man : It sounds like it took a lot of time. I’m so busy already.
Woman : Well, it did take time. Probably three hours for the tests, and I think I went to maybe four group sessions, and then I saw Ruth a couple of times. I guess about nine or ten hours probably. But it was worth it.
Man : So,is that why you decided to go into library science ?Because of the test and everything ?
Woman : In part. But, mostly it was because of the internship. You see, I also got my internship through the office of career development. And when I was working as an intern in the public library, it all sort of came together for me. I really liked what I was doing and realized that I didn’t want the internship to end.
Man : And you get paid for working there in the library to, don’t you ?
Woman : I get paid, and I get credit toward my degree. But even better, I have a job offer from the library where I’m doing my internship.
Man : Wow! Are you going to take it ?
Woman : I think so. Have to let them know next week. If I do take the job, I’ll have to go graduate school to get a degree in library science, but I can do that part-time while I’m working, and I had thought about graduate school anyway. So, I’m leaning toward taking the job.
Man : That’s great, Anne. I’m glad for you. So,uh, I guess I’d better make an appointment with Ruth Jackson. Maybe she can find me an internship.
Woman : Maybe.

Narrator : Listen to part of a lecture in an anthropology class.
Professor : The concepts of power and authority are related, but they’re not the same. Power is the abilyty to exercise influence… and control over others. And this can be observed on every level of society, from, well.. the relationships within a family to the relationhips among nations. Power is usually structured by customs and …social institutions or laws and tends to be exerted by persuasive arguments or coercion or .. or even brute force. In general, groups with the greatest, uh, resources tend to have the advantage in power struggles. So, is power always legitimate ? Is it viewed by members of society as justified ? Well, no. Power can be realized by individuals or groups.. even when it involves the resistance of others, if.. as long as… as long as they’re in position to impose their will. But what about power that is accepted by members of society as right and just, that is, legimate power ? Now we’re talking about authority. And that’swhat I want to focus on today.
Okay. When individuals or institutions possess authority, they have,um, a recognized and established right… to determine polices, with the accpetance of those over… over whom they execise control. Max Weber, the German classical sociologist,proposed three types of authority in society : traditional, charismatic, and rational or legal authority. In all three types, he , uh, he acknowledged the right of those in positions of power to lead… with the consent of the governed. So, how did weber differentiate among the three tyes ofauthority ? Well, he divided them according to how the right to lead and the duty to follow are, uh, interpreted. In traditional authority,power resides in customs and conventions that provide certain people or groups with legimate power in their societies. Often their origin is found in sacred traditions. The example that most often comes tomind is a monarcy in which kings or queens rule.. by… bybirthright, not because of any particular… quality of leadership or political election, just because they have a claim to authority, based on traditional acceptance of their position, and in some cases, their,uh, unique relationship with and, uh, responsibility in religious practices. The royal families in Europe or the emperors in Asia are.. come to mind as examples of traditional authority. Okay. Thiscontrasts sharplyy with charismatic authority which is..um… derived.. because of personal attributes that inspire admiration, loyalty… and even devotion. Leaders who exercise this type of authorty may be the foundersof religious movements orpolitical parties, but it’s not their traditional right to lead. What’s important here is that their folowers are mobilized more by… uh, by the force of the leader’s personality than by the tradition orthe law. So when we think of charismatic leaders in the United States, perhaps John Kennedy would be an example because he was able to project a youthful and energetic image that people were proud to identify with, or, if you prefer Republicans, you may argue that Ronald Reagan was able to exercise authority by virtue of his charismatic appeal. In any case, going back to Weber, to quality for charismatic authority, a leader must be able to enlist others in the service of a … a cause that transforms the social structure in some way.
Which leaves us with legal rational authority, or power that is legitimized by rules, uh, laws, and procedures. In such a system, leaders gain authority not by traditional birthrights or by charismatic appeal but… but rather because they’re elected or appointed in accordance with the law, and power is delegated to layers officials who owe their allegiance to the , uh, principles that are agreed upon rationally, and because they accept the ideal that the law is supreme. In a legal rational society, people accept thelegitimacy of authority as a government of laws, not of leaders. So, an example ofthis type of authoruty might be a president, like Richard Nixon, who was threatened with , uh, impeachment because he wasperceived as not foverning within the law.
Some sociologists have postulated that the three types of authority represent stages of evolution in society. That pre-industrial societies tend to respect traditional authority, but, uh, as societies move into an industrial age, the importance of tradition… wanes…in favor of charismatic authority, with a natural rise of charismatic leaders. Then, as… as the modern era evolves, the rational legal authority, embodied by rules and regulations repalces the loyalty to leaders in favor of … a respect law. Of course,other sociologists argue that in practice, authority may be represented by a combination of several of these ideal types at any one time.
(A) To discuss three types of authority
(B) To distinguish between power an authority
(C) Toexamine alternatives to wever’s model

Although its purpose and techniques were often magical, alchemy was, in many ways, the predecessor of the modern science of chemistry. The fundamental premise of alchemy derived from the best philosophical dogma and scientific pratice of the time, and in the majority of educated persons between 1400 and 1600 believed that alchemy had great merit.
The earliest authentic works on European alchemy are those of the English monk Roger Bacon and the German philosopher St. Albertus Magnus. In their treatises, they maintained that gold ws the perfect metal and that inferior metals such as lead and mercury were removed by various degrees of imperfection from gold. They further asserted that these base metals could be transmuted to gold by blending them with a subtance more perfect than gold. This elusive subtance was referred to as the “philosopher’s stone”. The process was called transmutation.
Most of the early alchemists were artisans who were accustomed to keeping trade secrets and often resorted to cryptic terminology to record the progress of their work. The term “sun” was used for fold, “moon” for silver, and the five known planets for base metals. This convention of subtituting symbolic language attracted some mystical philosophers who compared the search for the perfect metal with the struggle of humankind for the perfection of the soul. The philosopher began to use the artisan’s terms in the mystical literature that they produced. Thus, by the 14th century, alchemyhad developed two distinct groups of practitioners. Both groups of alchemists continued to work throughout the history of alchemy, but, of course, it was the literary alchemists who was more likely to produce a written record; therefore, muc of what is known about the science of alchemists who labored in laboratories.

Audio Lecture
Narrator : Listen to part of a lecture on Geology.
Fossils are the remains of orgnisms that have been preserved. Some of the most common fossils are shells, skeletons, leaves, and insects. They are occasionally preserved in ice, but most have been burried in mud or sand that collects at the bottom of bodies of water, especially lakes, swamps, and oceans. In order for fossils to form, the animals and plants must be buried quickly; otherwise, theorganism will disintegrate. If they are buried in loose sediment, the soft tissues will begin to decay. But the harder structures such as bones and shells will remain intact for much longer. After years of pressure from the layers of sedment above them, the lower layers of sediment turn into rock, encapsulating the organisms.
There are several different mineral processes that continue the fossilization of oranisms in the sedimentary rocks. A few plants and animals become fossilized after mineral-rich water soaks into the pores an openings in the hard tissues of the plant or animal. In these fossils, theoriginal body of the organism is strengthened by the infusion of mineral deposits, and every detail of the organism is preserved. But in most fossils, the minerals in the water dissolve the original organism, leaving a fossil mold. Minerals continue to be deposited in the mold at the same time, a process that results in the replacement of the same shape. In the casts of these molds, the internal features of the organism are not preserved, but the outer structure is accurate in every detail. Sometimes the fine shapes of even very fragile feathers and for are preserved by mineral replacement.
Although the fossil record is incomplete, the composite of fossil findings chronicles the form of life that existed at various periods in the past. In a sense, the fossil record is a history of life. The location of fossil in layers of undisturbed sedimentary rock shows not only which groups of organisms lived at approximately the same time but also indicates the order in which they were buried, that is, their relative ages. Plants and animals on the lower layers are presumed to be older than those buried after then in the layers above.
1. What are the two most common place where fossils may be found?
(Click on 2 answers)
(A) Ice
(B) Mud
(C) Sand
(D) Water
2. The professor briefly explains a process. Summarize the process by putting the events in order.
(click on a sentence. Then click on the space where it belongs. Use each sentence only once)
(A) Mold of the organism preserved the shape of the organism
(B) Water soaks into the organism
(C) Organisms are buried in mud or sand
(D) Minerals in the water dissolve the original organism.
3. What is lost in the process of replacement ?
(A) The fine shapes of fragile structures
(B) The internal features of the plant or animal
(C) The mineralsin the deposit
(D) The original fossil mold
4. Why are the layers of sedimentary rock important to the fossils record ?
(A) The ages of the fossils may be determined by their location in the layers of rock
(B) The shapes of the fossils may be preserved in the layers of rock
(C) The rock protects the fossils from the mineral water that dissolves them
(D) Plants and animals that are formed at the same time are buried in different layers of rock.

The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our healt. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps 80 percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. People of different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because of the characteristic foods they consume.
That foods is related to illness is not new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites (commonly used to preserve color in meats) as well as other food additives caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which ingredients on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful.
The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been bound in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes, similar drugs are administered reason. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the food and drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control thesse procedures, the prctices continue.
A healthy diet is directly related to good health. Often we are unware of detrimental substances we ingest. Sometimes well-meaning farmers or otherswho do not realize the consequences add these substances to food without our knowledge.

The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our healt. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps 80 percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. People of different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because of the characteristic foods they consume.
That foods is related to illness is not new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites (commonly used to preserve color in meats) as well as other food additives caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which ingredients on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful.
The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been bound in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes, similar drugs are administered reason. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the food and drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control thesse procedures, the prctices continue.
A healthy diet is directly related to good health. Often we are unware of detrimental substances we ingest. Sometimes well-meaning farmers or otherswho do not realize the consequences add these substances to food without our knowledge.

Almost two centuries ago, humans enjoyed their first airbone ride in a cloth balloon. Passengers rode in a basket fastned below the ballon. These brave adventures depended solely on the wind velocity and direction to move them about because of the lack of a steering mechanism.
In 1852, a French clockmaker flew the first controllable balloon a distance of seventeenmiles. germany began producing and using airships about 46 years later with its famous zeppelins, named in honor of their inventor, Count von Zeppelins. The largest and probably most famous of Germany's airships was the Hindenberg, which could travel at 85 miles per hour.
Later, the two countries bordering on the English Channel, Great Britian and France, built smaller airships called "blimps". The letter ships were intended for patrolling the coast and observing submarine activity, while the former served as passenger and cargo ships. After the Hindenberg burned in 1973, more and more people shied away from this form of transprotation.
