* are you aware that it's only available to married graduate students and their families?
* yes. i think my wife and i may qualify since she's still in graduate school. but i was wondering whether there were any other requirements.
* well, unless you have more than one child, you have to have a combined annual income that's less 15,000 dollars.
* i'm working as a part-time research assistant so tha
t's no problem. but right now we're living with my wife's parents. does that mean we have to include their income too?
* not necessarily. why don't you stop by our office so i can give you some forms to fill out and explain everything in more detail.
* that sounds like a good idea. would tomorrow morning be all right?
* the afternoon might be better. it can be pretty crazy around here on a friday morning.

* the ice age? there weren't any societies then. just a bunch of cave people.
* that's what people used to think. but a new exhibit of the america museum of natural history showed ice age people were surprisingly advanced.
* oh, really? in what ways?
* well, ice age people were the inventors of language, art, and music as we know it. and they didn't live in caves, they built their own shelters.
* what did they use to build them? the cold weather would have killed off most of the trees so they couldn't have used wood.
* in some of the warmer climate, they did build the houses of wood. in other places, they used animal bones and skins or lived in natural stone shelters.
* how did they stay warm? animal skin walls don't sound very sturdy.
* well, it says here that in the early ice age, they often faced the house towards south to take the advantage of the sun, a primitive sort of solar heating.
* hey, that's pretty smart.
* then people in the late ice age even insulated their homes by putting heated cobble stones on the floor.
* i guess i spoke too soon. can i read that magazine article after you're done? i think i'm going to try to impress my anthropology teacher with my amazing knowledge of the ice age civilization.

39-43: a guide describing the ancient art of thatching a roof.
welcome to the forewinds historical farm where traditions of the past are preserved for visitors like you. today our master thatchers will begin giving this barn behind me a sturdy thatched roof able to withstand heavy wind and last to 100 years. how do they do it? well, in a nutshell, thatching involves covering the beams or rafters, the wooden skeleton of the roof, with reeds or straw. our thatchers here have harvested their own natural materials for the job the bundles of water reeds you see lying over there beside the barn. thatching is certainly uncommon in the united states today. i guess that's why so many of you have come to see this demonstration. but it wasn't always that way. in the 17th century, the colonists here thatched their roofs with reeds and straw just as they'd done in england. after a while though they began to replace the thatch with wooden shingles because woods were so plentiful. and eventually other roofing materials like stone, slate and clay tiles came into use. it's a real shame that most people today don't realize how strong and long-lasting a thatched roof is. in ireland where thatching is still practiced, the roof can survive winds up to 110 miles per hour. that's because straw and reeds are so flexible they bend but don't break in the wind like other materials can. another advantage is that the roofs keep the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter. and then of course there's the roof's longevity. the average is 60 years but they can last up to 100. with all these reasons to start thatching roofs again, wouldn't it be wonderful to see this disappearing craft return to popularity?
39. what is about to be demonstrated?
40. what are thatched roofs made of?
41. according to the speaker, why did thatching die out in the united states?
42. according to the speaker, why does thatch survive strong winds?
43. according to the speaker, how might thatching become popular again?
q44-46 a radio new story.
a lot of people in the united states are coffee drinkers. over the last few years, a trend has been developing to introduce premium specially blended coffees known as gourmet coffees into the america market. boston seems to have been the birthplace of this trend. in fact major gourmet coffee merchants from other cities like seattle, san francisco, came to boston where today they are engaged in
a kind of coffee war with boston's merchants. they are all competing for a significant share of the gourmet coffee market. surprisingly the competition among these leading gourmet coffee businesses will not hurt any of them. experts predict that the gourmet coffee market in the united states is growing and will continue to grow to the point that gourmet coffee will soon capture a half of what is now a 1.5 million-dollar market and will be an eight million dollar market by 1999. studies have shown that coffee drinkers who convert to gourmet coffee seldom go back to the regular brands found in supermarkets. as a result these brands will be the real losers in the gourmet coffee competition.
44. what is the main topic of the new story?
45. what probably leads people to choose gourmet coffees over regular brands?
46. what will probably happen in the future to stores that sell regular brands of coffee?
q47-50 a talk in an art history class.
you may remember that a few weeks ago we discussed the question of what photography is. is it art or is it a method of reproducing images? does photograph belong to museum or just in our homes? today i want to talk about a person who tried to make his professional life an answer to such questions. alfred stieglitz went from the united states to germany to study engineering. while he was there he became interested in photography and began to experiment with his camera. he took pictures under conditions that most photographers considered too difficult. he took them at night, in the rain and of people and objects reflected in windows. when he returned to the united states he continued this revolutionary effort. stieglitz was the first person to photograph skyscrapers, clouds and views from an airplane. what stieglitz was trying to do in his photographs was what he tried to do throughout his lifemake photography an art. he thought that photography could be just as beautiful a form of self-expression as painting or drawing. for stieglitz, his camera was his brush. while many photographers in the late 1800s and early 1900s thought of their work as a reproduction of identical images, stieglitz saw his as creative art form. he understood the power of the camera to capture the moment. in fact he never retouched his prints or made copies of them. if you are in this class from today, i'm sure you'd say: well, painters don't normally make extra copies of their paintings, do they?
47. what is the professor mainly discussing?
48. what question has the professor raised in the previous class?
49. what does the professor imply about the photographs stieglitz took at night?
50. why did stieglitz choose not to make copies of his photographs?

* well, unless you have more than one child, you have to have a combined annual income that's less 15,000 dollars.
* i'm working as a part-time research assistant so tha
t's no problem. but right now we're living with my wife's parents. does that mean we have to include their income too?
* not necessarily. why don't you stop by our office so i can give you some forms to fill out and explain everything in more detail.

* the ice age? there weren't any societies then. just a bunch of cave people.
* that's what people used to think. but a new exhibit of the america museum of natural history showed ice age people were surprisingly advanced.
* oh, really? in what ways?
* well, ice age people were the inventors of language, art, and music as we know it. and they didn't live in caves, they built their own shelters.
* what did they use to build them? the cold weather would have killed off most of the trees so they couldn't have used wood.
* in some of the warmer climate, they did build the houses of wood. in other places, they used animal bones and skins or lived in natural stone shelters.
* how did they stay warm? animal skin walls don't sound very sturdy.
* well, it says here that in the early ice age, they often faced the house towards south to take the advantage of the sun, a primitive sort of solar heating.
* hey, that's pretty smart.
* then people in the late ice age even insulated their homes by putting heated cobble stones on the floor.
* i guess i spoke too soon. can i read that magazine article after you're done? i think i'm going to try to impress my anthropology teacher with my amazing knowledge of the ice age civilization.

39-43: a guide describing the ancient art of thatching a roof.
welcome to the forewinds historical farm where traditions of the past are preserved for visitors like you. today our master thatchers will begin giving this barn behind me a sturdy thatched roof able to withstand heavy wind and last to 100 years. how do they do it? well, in a nutshell, thatching involves covering the beams or rafters, the wooden skeleton of the roof, with reeds or straw. our thatchers here have harvested their own natural materials for the job the bundles of water reeds you see lying over there beside the barn. thatching is certainly uncommon in the united states today. i guess that's why so many of you have come to see this demonstration. but it wasn't always that way. in the 17th century, the colonists here thatched their roofs with reeds and straw just as they'd done in england. after a while though they began to replace the thatch with wooden shingles because woods were so plentiful. and eventually other roofing materials like stone, slate and clay tiles came into use. it's a real shame that most people today don't realize how strong and long-lasting a thatched roof is. in ireland where thatching is still practiced, the roof can survive winds up to 110 miles per hour. that's because straw and reeds are so flexible they bend but don't break in the wind like other materials can. another advantage is that the roofs keep the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter. and then of course there's the roof's longevity. the average is 60 years but they can last up to 100. with all these reasons to start thatching roofs again, wouldn't it be wonderful to see this disappearing craft return to popularity?
39. what is about to be demonstrated?
40. what are thatched roofs made of?
41. according to the speaker, why did thatching die out in the united states?
42. according to the speaker, why does thatch survive strong winds?
43. according to the speaker, how might thatching become popular again?
q44-46 a radio new story.
a lot of people in the united states are coffee drinkers. over the last few years, a trend has been developing to introduce premium specially blended coffees known as gourmet coffees into the america market. boston seems to have been the birthplace of this trend. in fact major gourmet coffee merchants from other cities like seattle, san francisco, came to boston where today they are engaged in
a kind of coffee war with boston's merchants. they are all competing for a significant share of the gourmet coffee market. surprisingly the competition among these leading gourmet coffee businesses will not hurt any of them. experts predict that the gourmet coffee market in the united states is growing and will continue to grow to the point that gourmet coffee will soon capture a half of what is now a 1.5 million-dollar market and will be an eight million dollar market by 1999. studies have shown that coffee drinkers who convert to gourmet coffee seldom go back to the regular brands found in supermarkets. as a result these brands will be the real losers in the gourmet coffee competition.
44. what is the main topic of the new story?
45. what probably leads people to choose gourmet coffees over regular brands?
46. what will probably happen in the future to stores that sell regular brands of coffee?
q47-50 a talk in an art history class.
you may remember that a few weeks ago we discussed the question of what photography is. is it art or is it a method of reproducing images? does photograph belong to museum or just in our homes? today i want to talk about a person who tried to make his professional life an answer to such questions. alfred stieglitz went from the united states to germany to study engineering. while he was there he became interested in photography and began to experiment with his camera. he took pictures under conditions that most photographers considered too difficult. he took them at night, in the rain and of people and objects reflected in windows. when he returned to the united states he continued this revolutionary effort. stieglitz was the first person to photograph skyscrapers, clouds and views from an airplane. what stieglitz was trying to do in his photographs was what he tried to do throughout his lifemake photography an art. he thought that photography could be just as beautiful a form of self-expression as painting or drawing. for stieglitz, his camera was his brush. while many photographers in the late 1800s and early 1900s thought of their work as a reproduction of identical images, stieglitz saw his as creative art form. he understood the power of the camera to capture the moment. in fact he never retouched his prints or made copies of them. if you are in this class from today, i'm sure you'd say: well, painters don't normally make extra copies of their paintings, do they?
47. what is the professor mainly discussing?
48. what question has the professor raised in the previous class?
49. what does the professor imply about the photographs stieglitz took at night?
50. why did stieglitz choose not to make copies of his photographs?
