Traveled road. I really enjoy it. Have u ever read it?

B: Ah ha
A: well when Julie feels exhausted11, and she is wishing she could escape from her hard labor12, she looks over her father working in the next field. And she is inspired to continue her own work
B: i do remember that story. Garlen really captures the spirit of hard work that was so typical of immigrants and pioneers who settled the American Midwest. It's difficult to image that nothing seems to discourage them for long.
A: i wonder how Garlen learn so much about the Midwest. Wasn’t he from Boston?
B: he lived in Boston. In fact, he studied and taught in Boston School of Oritory, but I think he was born in Lawcarbinlen, Wisconsin. He did grow up in Midwest.

40-43:
Question 40-43
This is our last meeting before the campers arrived tomorrow. I'll give u the activity schedule later. But, now I want to answer a question one of u asked me yesterday about campers with asthma13. Let me explain a little about the disease. First of all, it's chronic14 and very common. 20 million people in the United States alone have it. It affects the bronchial tubes, that is the airways16 of the lungs. During normal breathing, air is drawn17 in through the mouse and nose, and eventually makes this way into the bronchial tubes. The asthma patient's bronchial tubes are very sensitive, and easily irritated by exercises or strength, exposure to allergen(过敏原) or pollution, or breathing in cold air, or cigarettes smoke.
When asthmatic suffers an attack, the airway15 path was constricted18, making it difficult for the person from breathing normally. If a camper in your group has even a mild case of asthma, you would be informed and given further instructions
about what to do in case of an attack. But don't worry. Some of our campers might have a mild case, but they always bring their medicines with them and we never have a problem. Are there any other questions? Ok, let's talk about the schedules for tomorrow.

40:Q: what does the speaker mainly discuss?
41:Q: according to the speaker, what part of asthmatic's body is particularly sensitive?
42: Q: what does the speaker say about the camps who have asthma?
43: Q: why does the speaker mention cigarette smoke?

44-47:
Question 44-47
Today most astronomers19 accept the notion that groups of stars that make up the universe are all moving farther and farther away from each other. but until very recently this idea of an expanding universe was not a theory most European scholars believed in. Since ancient times and up to about the 17th century most of these scholars thought the size of the universe have remained unchanged since the moment of its creation or perhaps forever, with all the stars remaining more or less in place in relation to each other. but that was challenged in the late 17th century by Izic Newton's idea of gravity as a force of attraction, which contradicted the idea of a university that is static, unchanging. If gravity causes all the stars out there in space to attract each other as Newton said, then they could remain centrally motionless. Sooner or later all the stars will fall in towards each other. well, scientists then propose a new model, taking Newton's theory into account, they didn't want to abandon the idea of motionless stars, but for this model to work, so the stars wouldn’t fall in each other, they had to modify Newton's law of gravity, so they theorize that for distance as large as those between stars, the gravitation force repels21 rather attracts. As you might guess, this let to some other contradictions. But this is prettily22 resolved in the past centuries by the currently accepted theory, which says the universe is continuously expanding. You'll be reading all about that as your homework tonight.

44: Q: what does the professor mainly discuss?
45: Q: what did most European scholars believe before 17th century about the size of the universe?
46: Q: what did some scientists try to explain by suggesting that stars repel20 each other?
47: Q: what will the students read about for homework?

48-50:
Question 48-50
On Monday we talked about insects, and how they gather food. Today I'd like to talk about the common garden spider and how it captures its prey23 with the round net-like structure it first produced almost 200 million years ago. I mean, of course a spider web. What's interesting is why such a delicate structure isn't ripped apart when a fast-flying insect crashes into it, and compared with the spider, these insects can be huge and really heavy. In fact capturing a large insect in a spider web could be compared to capture an airplane in a fishing net. So, how can the web offset24 such a shock without breaking? is it just because the silk like thread is made of so strong? well, experts analyze25 spider webs using a computer program designed when an insect crashed and caught and they found the structure of the web, the way of threads connected together helps balance the strength and tensions caused by the impact and spread them all across the web this saves the web from being destroyed and by the way, suggests some creative new ideas that human might use in designing buildings. The big surprise, though, is the role of air resistance in cushioning(缓冲) the shock of collision. The computer model showed that dragging a tiny
thread from a spider web through the air is a lot like pulling a heavy rope through water. And since air resistance acts on many threads all across the web its amazing effect that multiplies many times. And this definitely helps the web survive the impact
48:Q: what is the talk mainly about?
49: Q :What does the speaker say about some of the insects that spiders capture?
50:Q: according to the speaker, who might benefit from studying spider webs?
