35---38 Conversation between two students doing chemistry experiment
l Hi, Mary. Do you want to start writing a lab report after we finish this experiment?
l I can't. In fact I need to finish early because I'm going over to the psychology1 department to talk to Professor Smith about a job opening.
l You mean a job on campus?
l Yeah. And it sounds pretty interesting. It involves helping2 with your study on learning style. You know, about how some people learn best by sight, while others learn best by hearing or touch.
l Yeah. I know that's an area of expertise3.
l Right. Anyway for her study she's taking some high school students who aren't doing very well in their classes and testing them to find out what their learning styles are. Then tutors, people like me, will work with them presenting material to them in their particular learning style.
l Hey. That is interesting. Now will you mostly do the testing or the tutoring?
l Both I hope. I want to be involved from start to finish.
l Are you getting paid for this?
l I'm sure we'll get something though, probably not much. Anyway it doesn't matter to me, I just want to have some hands-on experience.
l Yeah. And it'll be nice to help those high school students too.
l That's what I thought when I saw the ad. You know you could do it too. You don't have to be in her classes to work on the study.
l Really? Do you have any idea what the schedule is like?
l Late afternoon then evening for tutoring I think. After all the kids are in regular classes until three thirty.
l Actually that's perfect for me.
l Then come along. We will save the lab report for later. But we'd better make sure we do a good job on our experiment first.
l Yeah. First thing's first.

35. What are the speakers mainly discussing?
36. Why is the woman interested in working with Professor Smith?
37. What will the college students do for the high school students?
38. What will the speakers probably do next?

PART C
39---42 A museum guide talking about native American pottery4.
Hello, I'll be your tour guide today here at the art museum so I'd like to welcome you to this month's exhibit of native American pottery. We'll begin our tour in a few minutes. But first I'm going to tell you something about the way this pottery was created. Pottery was made all over ancient North America by many different groups of people. One of the earliest of these ancient American cultures was the Hohokam people. They lived in what is now Arizona from about 300 BC to AD1500. And it's their pottery that you will be looking at today. All of the pottery was made from clay. Some objects were for everyday use, like containers for food and water: pots for cooking and mug, bowls and ladles for drinking and eating. You will also see finger rings and animal-shaped incense5 burners which we believe were probably used in special ritual6. The Hohokam formed their pottery vessels7 from coils of clay. Them shaped them with special tools to create very thin sides on the vessels. Afterwards they painted the pottery with red design. Actually many of the pieces here have designs right on them that show how the pottery was used. Now I hope you'll enjoy the beauty and the uniqueness of the Hohokam pottery and that will give you some interesting insights8 about the people who created it. Please feel free to ask me any questions and thank you for joining us today.
