Listen to a talk to university students. Questions 47-50
(Woman) This lecture series is intended to help students at this university benefit
more from their studies here. The topic of tonight's talk is how to manage your
time.
Time is a very important commodity when you are a university student; there
simply never seems to be enough of it to go around. You will need to attend
classes, study, complete homework assignments, work on research, eat, sleep,
perhaps hold down a part-time job, and maybe actually find time to relax for a
moment or two.
So a very important skill for you to learn is to manage your time. If you manage
your time wisely, I think that you’ll find there is enough of it to go around.
One valuable tool in time management is to monitor how you spend your time for a
week. Then, after you spend this week monitoring your time, you can evaluate
what you have done with your time and learn to make the best use of it.
During this week of personal time monitoring, you should divide each twenty-four
hour day into fifteen-minute blocks, so each day has ninety-six blocks of time. Then
write down how you spend each fifteen-minute period. I know that it is
bothersome to write all of this infatuation dawn for a week, but the benefits of
such a study can be great. At the end of: week, you will see just how much time you
have spent productively and how much time you have not
The specific assignment that! Have for each one of you is to spend the next week
conducting you: personal time-monitoring study. At the end of this week you
should make an appointment with me to discuss your results.

 SECTION 3 Reading Comprehensions
Questions 1—10
In west-central New York State there is a group of eleven long, narrow, glacial
lakes known as the Finger Lakes. From east to west these lakes are Otisco,
Skaneateles, Owasco, Cayuga, Seneca, Keuka, Canandaigua, Honeoye,
Candice, Hemlock, and Conesus.
These lakes have been aptly named because of their resemblance to the
fingers of a hand. Two of the largest of the Finger Lakes, Seneca and Cayuga,
exemplify the selection of the name: Seneca is thirty-seven miles long and
four miles across at its widest point, and Cayuga is forty miles long and two
miles across.
Although scientists are not completely certain as to how these lakes were
formed, most believe that successive sheets of glacial ice carved out the long,
narrow valleys. The glaciers most probably moved along the paths of
preexisting stream valleys and further deepened these valleys to depths well
below sea level. With the melting of the glaciers same end of the Ice Age, the
lakes were filled.

 Questions 11-20
Popular architecture in the United States in the beginning of the twentieth
century continued as it had at the end of the nineteenth century, with
elaborately ornate historical motifs. The new skyscrapers sprouting up at the
time were often ornately finished with elements of Gothic or Roman detailing.
During this period of emphasis on intricate ornamentation, certain architects
began moving in a different direction, from the historic attention to ornate
detailing toward more modern design typified by simplified flowing lines.
Frank Lloyd Wright, the best known of these early modern architects,
developed a style that he termed organic architecture, a building style based
on natural forms rather than on the intricately detailed styles that had been
popular. Wright started work in Chicago designing "prairie houses," long low
buildings featuring flowing horizontal lines and simplistic unity of design.
These buildings often centered around massive stone fireplaces with rooms
open to each other and space flowing from one room to the next; they were
intended to fit the wide open expanses of the Midwest Plains that served as a
setting for Chicago. These "prairie houses," found in Chicago’s suburban areas,
served to tie the rapidly developing neighborhoods of Chicago with its Plains
heritage.

Louisa May Alcott, an American author best known for her children's books
Little Women, Little Men, and Jo's Boys, was profoundly influenced by-her
family particularly her father. She was the daughter of Bronson Alcott, a well-
known teacher, intellectual and free thinker who-advocated abolitionism
women’s rights, and vegetarianism long before they were popular. He was
called a man of unparalleled intellect by his friend Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Bronson Alcott instilled in his daughter his lofty and spiritual values and in
return was idolized by his daughter
The financial situation of the Alcott family during Louisa's childhood was not
good, mainly due to the fact that her father made unsound investments in
projects that reflected his idealistic view of the world. As a result, Louisa had
to begin helping to support her family at a young age. by taking a variety of
low-paying jobs as a seamstress, a maid, and a tutor.
Her novel Little Women was patterned after her own family, and Louisa used
her father as a model for the impractical yet serenely wise and adored father
in Little Women; With the successes this novel she was able to provide for her
family, giving her father the financial security that until then he had never
experienced.

In The American colonies there was little money. England did not supply the
colonies with coins and it did not allow the colonies to make their coins,
except for the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which received Permission for short
period in 1652 to make several kinds of silver coins. England wanted to keep
money out of America as a means of controlling trade: America was forced to
trade only with England if it did not have the money to buy Products from
other countries. The result during this prerevolutionary Period was that the
colonists used various goods in place of money; beaver pelts, Indian wampum,
and tobacco leaves were all commonly used substitutes for money. The
colonists also made use of any foreign coins theycou1d obtain. Dutch Spanish
French and English coins were all in use in the American colonies.

during this period.

money Supply A few Years later, the Coinage Act of 1792 made the dollar the
official currency of the United States and put the country on a bimetallic
standard. In this bimetallic system both gold and silver were legal money, and

to one.

Questions 22-30
The human brain, with an average weight of 1.4 kilograms, is the control
center of the body. It receives information from the senses, processes the
information, and rapidly sends out responses: it also stores the information
that is the source of human thoughts and feelings, Each of the three main
parts of the brain, the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the brain stem-has its
own role in carrying out these functions.

The cerebrum is by far the largest of the three Parts. taking up 85 percent of
the brain by weight, The outside layer of the cerebrum. the cerebral cortex. is
a grooved and bumpy surface covering the nerve cells beneath. The various
sections of the cerebrum are the sensory cortex, which is responsible for
receiving and decoding sensory messages from throughout the body; the
motor cortex, which send action instructions to the skeletal muscles; and the
association cortex, which receives monitors, and processes information. It is in
the association cortex that the processes that allow humans to think take place.

The cerebellum located below the cerebrum in the back part of the skull, is
made of masses of bunched up nerve cells. It is the cerebellum that controls
human balance, coordination. and posture.

The brain stem, which connects the cerebrum and the spinal cord, controls
various body processes such as breathing and heartbeat. It is the major motor
and sensory pathway connecting the body and the cerebrum.
