Good afternoon, class Today we'll end our unit on the earth’s natural forces by discussing the topic ol tides Ht you'll remember, yesterday we studied the causes of weather, particularly storms Although it is very difficult to predict the weather, it is possible to know the times and heights of each day's tides years in advance with a great deal of accuracy The force that creates the tides Is the strong gravitational pull of the moon, combined with the weaker gravitational pull of the sun Tides are regular and predictable because of the movement of the moon around the earth As the moon orbits the earth, its gravitational pull causes the sea to rise When the sun and the moon are closest to each other, their gravitational pulls combine to produce the highest high tides, which
occur in the spring During the winter, when the sun and moon are farthest from each other, their gravitational pulls work against each other, producing the lowest tides Look at the tide tables | have given you, and let's see if we can predict the heights and times ol the tides for the next five days,
39 What is the lecture mostly about?
40 Where is the lecture probably taking place?
4) According to the talk, what is the greatest difference between the tides and the weather?

Trang 35fastest runner is the last In a relay race, the runners carry a baton, which is passed from one team member to the next The waiting runner stands to the left of the lane in a start position, head turned to book at the oncoming runner When the oncoming runner reaches a certain mark, the waiting runner begins to run, They both run the course for a moment before the baton is passed The exchange must be made within twenty meters or the team will be taken out of the race There are four methods of exchange, which I'll demonstrate for you,
43, What does the speaker mainly talk about? 44 Who is probably giving this talk?
45 According to the speaker, when is this talk taking place?
46 According to the talk, at what time in the race do two team members run on the course together?

Welcome to the Natural History Museums weekly science lecture series I'll begin today’s presentation on ornithology by giving you some tips on birdwatching How can you learn to identity birds? The answer is, by looking at important general features, then moving to specific ones The first thing to look at |s size Although it’s difficult to know exact size in inches, you should try to get an idea of a bird’s size by comparing Ít to birds you know, such as a sparrow, robin, or crow Shape is the next thing to look at Most experts can name birds by shape alone Areas to study are the shape of the body, head, tail, legs, and bill Ask yourself: Is the body slim or wide? Are the neck and legs long or short? Is the tail short, medium, or Jong? Is it forked at the tip, square-ended, or polnted? Notice the size and shape of the bill Color and pattern are the next areas to study, Look for stripes, spots, or other markings on the breast, back, wings, and tail Finally, voice is the most useful way to identify birds, Listen and make note of any songs or calls you hear Later I'll play several recordings
that will help you learn to know birds by their sounds
47 What is the main subject of the lecture? 48, Who is the speaker?
49 According to the lecture, what is one way of determining a bird's size? 50, What does the speaker intend to do later in the lecture?

Continuing our unit on industrial America, this morning we'll discuss the role of robots in modern times, Robots that did useful work did not appear until the 1960s At first, workers resisted the use of robots, out of fear that jobs would be lost Over the last thirty years, however, the growth of robots in industry has been tremendous The use of robots to do routine, repetitious and boring jobs has allowed workers to take on more challenging tasks Robots have also proved very useful in the handling of hot or dangerous components that might otherwise harm human beings Most robots currently being used in industry are simple machines programmed by humans But a new generation of robots with advanced computers is on the horizon They can react to information by
making adjustments and in a sense “think” for themselves 43 What does the speaker mainly talk about?
