PART C
Hi, I'm Roris Rily, and I'm the president of the college environmental aware
ness Club. Before we get started, I'd like to thank everyone for coming down
to the lake today to help with the cleaning up project. As you probably kno
w, we're going to be cleaning up all of the garbage here at the lake area. W
e'll begin by dividing into two ten-person teams, one team will pick up litt
er in the picnic are and jogging trail, and one will dig out garbage found i
n the shallow waters of the lake itself. We'll be putting the litter in thes
e plastic trash bags. Toss any aluminum cans you find into these boxes, and
we'll take them to the recycling center later. A local business has donated
these "Do Not Litter" signs to the club. So we'll need a couple of people to
place them around the lake when we are through. Ok, everyone who wants to c
lean up around picnic tables and along the jogging path, raise your hands.
36. How will the club members work to clean up the area?
37. Where will the club members put litter?
38. What will the club members do with the aluminum cans?
39. Where will the club members put up the "Do Not Litter" signs?
W: David, you play the cello, don't you?
M: I did it for about six years. But I haven't practiced much since I came t
o college. Why do you ask?
W: I'm, signing up for a non-credit string ensemble course that meets once a
week on Wednesday night. We have several violist, violas and two bass playe
rs, but only on cello.
M: Who's directing the group?
W: Janit Hanson. Maybe you've heard of her. She plays violin in the city orc
hestra, and she also directs three other small local music groups.
M: Mh, I have my cello here, but I think I would need to do a lot of work be
fore my playing would sound any good at all.
W: Miss Hanson will give individual instruction as well as teach us as a gro
up. There are only ten of us now. Try to join us. We are all on the intermed
iate level. And anyway you won't get a grade for the course.
M: I'll tell you what. I'll play a little this evening and see how it goes.
W: I'm sure you'll be fine, I'll expect to see you at seven o'clock tomorrow
in room 14 at the fine arts building. I hope you can come to our regular me
eting.
40. Why does the woman want David to sign up for the course?
41. Why is David not sure that he wants to sign up?
42. How often will the group meet?
43. What instrument does the director of the group play in the city orchestr
a?
44. What is the level of musical proficiency of the most of the group member
s?
45. What will David do this evening?
Today, I'll be talking about the invention of the camera and photography
. The camera if often thought to be a modern invention. But as early as 1727
, a German physicist discovered that light darkened silver salt, a chemical
compound. Using as a camera, a big box with a small hole to let the light in
, he made temporary images on the salt. Silver salt is still the base of fil
m today. Then a French scientist made the first permanent picture by using a
special piece of metal sensitized with silver salt. A photography he made i
n 1826 still exists. The painter Dagera improved on the process by placing c
ommon. Salt, the kind we eat, on the metal. This was in 1839, the official d
ate of the beginning of photography. But the problem was the printing of the
photographs. And it wasn't until other scientists developed the kind of pap
er we now use that good printing was possible and photography became truly m
odern. In 1860's, Matthew Brady was able to take his famous pictures of the
American Civil War, thus making portrait poses very popular. In the 20th cen
tury, George Eastman of the United States simplified film developing, and Ed
wards Land invented the so-called instant camera with self-developing film.
If we say that the photography came into existence in 1839, it follows that
it has taken more than one hundred years for the camera to reach its present
condition of technical refinement.
46. What discovery was the basis of photography?
47. How was the first prominent picture made?
48. What does the speaker regard as the official date of the beginning of ph
otography?
49. According to the speaker, why was Matthew Brady remembered today?
50. What did Doctor Edwards Land invent?
