听力题 We only have a few minutes left so I’d like to go over a couple of points before we move on. Remember, although there are both horizontal and vertical movements in air, the term wind applies only to horizontal movement. And more air is involved in horizontal movements than vertical movements. And what causes the horizontal movement?Alternately, it’s the solar radiation, because the unequal heating of the earth rather than the atmosphere produces horizontal differences in air pressure. These differences set winds in motion. Essentially, winds are the natural way of balancing uneven distribution air pressure over the earth. Secondly, let me repeat my answer to the question we had before about wind direction. Many people get confused by what they hear in weather forecast. We talk about wind direction in terms of where the wind’s coming from, not where it’s blowing to. Wind direction is a good reason to this. To weather broadcasters, the origin of winds is more important than its destination. The winds origin helps them predict the weather. Logically, in the northern hemisphere, a north wind turns to bring cold wind. South wind warms weather. I haven’t forgotten vertical air. We don’t have time today to talk about them in depth. In our next class then, I’ll begin by discussing updraft and downdraft and how they affect the weather. I suspect most of you can guess which of the two brings warm weather, and which brings cold.

听力题W: David! Can I give you a hand with one of those grocery bags? M: Sure, Nancy! Could you take this one, please? I didn''t realize how heavy these bags would be. W: Why did you buy so much stuff when you have to walk home from the store? M: Well, I didn''t intend to buy a lot—but I''m having some people over and I guess I needed more than I expected. W: What''s the occasion? M: The people I live with, the Kramers, have been on vacation for a month, and I thought I''d surprise them. I''m inviting some of their friends and family for a welcome-home dinner. W: That''s really thoughtful of you. M: I figure it''s the least I can do for them. They''ve been letting me stay with them rent-free while I''m in school. W: Really? That''s pretty generous of them. M: Well, they understand how difficult it is to make ends meet when you''re a student. They''ve been such a big help to me.

听力题 In 1946 there was a program in the Rio Grande valley to substitute the hybrid com, which is produced by mixing several types of corn, for the native corn. The native corn was of poor nutritional quality and gave a poor quantity of grain, while the hybrid corn was of excellent quality and gave about three times as large a crop as the native variety. In the first year, half of the 84 farmers in the village planted the hybrid corn and doubled the corn production. Three years later, however, only three farmers planted the hybrid corn. The others were planting the traditional variety. At the beginning of the project, the program leader studied the pattern of the natural relations of plants, animals, and people to each other and to their surroundings of the area and showed films demonstrating the superiority of the new corn. The farmers agreed that the hybrid corn had great advantages. The size of the corn confirmed these advantages. Why did they stop planting it? They complained that it wasn''t good for cooking and they didn''t like the flavor.

听力题 According to a new study done at the Medical School of University of California at Los Angeles, left handed people may be more likely to have accidents than the right handed. One reason may be that left handers tend to make more minor mental mistakes. In a study of 2,000 sailors, those who had more mental errors also had more accidents, and left handers were reported to have more mental errors and more accidents than right handers. The Author of the study, Jim Watson, said "Minor mental mistakes are mistakes that any adults would make when they were tired or careless, and they could lead to accidents because we lose track of what we are doing. Paul White, chief of the study program, said that he found the study interesting and exciting. But he warned that the conclusions should not be accepted without further investigation. He said the study had limitations, and limitations could have influenced the results. Jim Watson, who is right handed himself, stressed that the study was not an official project and said that the findings cannot be applied to every left hander. He said minor mental mistakes can be regarded as evidence of lack of concentration. But in the past, it was believed that left handers tended to have more accidents, largely because most equipment was designed for right handers.
