NARRATOR: EXAMPLE 2

Theory X and TheoryY are theories o, motivation in the workplace developed by social ps),Ehologist Douglas Mccregor
in the 1960s- They desc{ibe how managers may perceive their employees rather than how emplc,yees
actually act.

A Theory X manager assumes that workers are not molivated and dislike their jobs. Therefore, they have to be
controlled and supervised every step of the way or they will not carry out their duties. They avoid responsibility
or
taking on any extra work. Workplaces that ascribe to Theory X are hierarchical with many lev.els ol managers
and
supervisors lo keep the workers under control.

Theory Y describes the opposite situation. This theory assumes that employees are self-motivated and enjoy their
work, thal they want greater responsibility and don't need a lot of supervision. Theory Y managers believe that their
employees want lo do well at work and that, given the right conditions, they will. ln a Theory y workplace, even
lowerJevel employees are involved in decision making_

Narrator: Passage a
single stream recl'cling is a system of collecting recyclables from
residences that is gaining increased atention
trom around the country. Traditionally, households have had
to sort their recyclables ind difie;nt bins accoft,ing to
materiaHaper, glass, plastic--for pickup by city lrucks. tn single stream recycling,
all the materials go into one
bin. They are later sorted at a recycling facitity. One of the
m4Jr benefits of this system is that, because it is so
simple, more people are likely to recycle their waste instead oi putting
il in the trash. on the other hand, some cities
that have implemented this system have be6n receiving phone
calls lrom lurious residents who don,t understiand
how the system works. They continue to sort therr reryclables
and cant see why everything is thrown together Into
one truck' so clearly, some education is needed. Another attraction
for cities Jsing tiris sysrem is the tow cost of
pic*up' since all recyclabtes can be mixed together in
one truck, mutiple trips to e;ch neighborhood are not nec-
essary' on the downside' there are high start'up costs, not onty
for initial purchase of the trucks but atso for the
custruction of the processing plant where the rccyclables are sorted. ln
addition, processing recyclables under
this system can be more expensive than under older systems.

Good evening. Welcome to the Biverdale Gyclisis Club meeting. Before we show the slides lrom last month,s trip,
l'm going to 9o over a ,ew things you should know lor next month's upcoming trip to the white River valley. I believe
most oi you in the audience are planning to participate in that trip. So, the first question l'm always asked is: What
should I bring from home? The number one item you should bring on this trip is your own bike. Don,t laugh. On
many ol our trips it's possible to rent bikes, but unfortunately there will be no rentals available on the White Flivsr
Valley kip. However, the tour company wili be providing each one of you with your own personalizeci water bot
e,
sd thats one thing you won't have to pack. And maps, ol course. We'll have several experienced guides who know
thb area well, so maps and guide books won't be needed. While all meals will be provided, you,ll probably want to
bring along some snacks to he,p keep your energy up on the road, so don't lorget that. And it's quite sunny in that
part of the country, so a protective sun hal is also a good idea. We ll be spending nights at different hotels
atong
the way, so no ca,'npingequipment will be necessary The area we'll be biking through is very scenic and l,m
sure
most o, you will want to take photographs, so bring along any photographic equipment you want.

:) Although rabbits and hares are very similar in appearance, theytre difrerent animals r.rith
different characterislics.
We can say that the differences start at birth. Baby hares are abG to defend themsefues,
at least to some degree,
because they can see when they are born. when rabbits are born, however, they cannot
see and so are completely
helpless. Unlike hares, rabbits stick together, living with other rabbits in colonies. They
live in underground bunows,
which provide a safe place to hide from predators. Hares, on the other hand, live most
of their lives as loners. They
stay above the ground and are able to avoid predators becquse they are such good runners.
Hares and rabbits
also have difierent eating habits. Hares tend to favor bark, twigs, and other woody plants, while
rabbits prefer sofrer
grasses, leaves, and stems.

Good morning, and thank you lor coming out today to tour Green Acres, the city's newest residential community.
Green Acres includes a mix of apartments and single{amify homes and was buitt lor the families of the
twenty-first
century. Although quite large, the community took just over two yeaB to complete. Vvork on the first building
began
in early 2010, and the last nail was driven well beiore the end of 2012.You'll see on this map here that the hub
of
the community is this large shopping complex, containing a variety of stores as well as banks, a post olfice,
and
other services. Just over here, almcst right next to the complex, are the apaatment buildings. So shopping and
errands are quite convenient lor the residents living there. Down here is the Community Center building, which has
a variety of programs tor both adults and children. There are difrerent kinds ot classes, organized trips, and
even
an indoor tennis court. The community center has a partisrlarly good sports program for child!.en, and on mos!
days you can see a kids soccer game going on in lhe field just in back of the center. oK, I think rhat,s enouqh of

Welcome lo Grover Mansion. Le+ me give you a bit of inlormation before Vye begin our tour. No,a/, it may be hard
to
imagine when you look at the building today, but, in fact, its original purpose was not a residence. The building
was
originally constructed to house a small clothing factory and that continued to be its purpose for about fity years
until it was bought by the Grover ,amily in 1910 and converted into a hmily home. We'il begin our tour in the base-
ment. Don't expect to see a ,urnace or storage space, such as you would flnd in a modern house. lnstead, that part
of the house conlalns the kitchen, which is how most houseswere designed at that time. From there, we ll clntinue
to the ground floor. of particular interest there is the back porch, a large and spacious area which is now furnished
with chairs and coftee tables but which the.Grover tamily usually used as a sleeping place on hot summer evenings.

Good afternoon and welcome to the City Museum ol History We re starting our tour right here in lhe lobby by the
main entrance. This room itself is ot historical interest as it was the first house ever built in the city- you can see that
a good deal has been added to it since then, as the museum now contains several large galleries in addition to
the lobby. Moving straight ahead, we're now in the Local History exhibit. Over here we have a display showing the
founding of the city, and around the room you can see displays about various other historical events. After you've
enjoyed the displays in here, you may follow me into the next room, where we'll find a photograph gallery lilled with
photos dating as far back as the nineteenth century They'll give you a good idea of how the appearance of
our city
has changed over titne. On the other side of the gallery is the theater. I believe a film will be starting at eleven pm.
That gives you Plenty ot time to look around first. The pdce ol the film, of @urse, is included in the price ol your
entrance licket. You may also vvish to visit the gift shop, which is iusl beyond the theater. You can buy some simple
snacks lhere as well as souvenirs ol your visit. The gift shop looks out on the garden, which is quite lovely this time

As you know, we have been discussing tor several months the best way to make use ot lhe open land on our club
properly. This evening I am happy lo be able to share with you our new plan lor using lhis land. lf you'll
iust take a
look at this map ol the club. Over here is the club house. We've decided to move the parking lot away from the build-
ing for several reasons. For one thing, we think it should be more centrally located. So, we plan to make an area lor
parking cars over here, on the other side of Center Road, just across Main Drive ,rom the lennis courts. You'll be
happy to knon, that our plan includes a new swimming pool- weve decided to make use of this land right nelt to
the club house ,or that purpose. lt will be professionally landscaped and add to the beauty of that area ot the club.
This area here to the left ol the lake is rather wild and neglected, but t is a lovely spot we should take advantag¤
of. So weve decided to clea? out all th¤ brush and add spme tables and fre pits so members can enjoy outdoor
meals while relaxing by the lake. The snack bar will remain where it already is. Across Main Drive from there is a
large open space which we plan to develop into an area where children can play soccer, and we'll probably also
include a baseball diamond and some volleyball nets.

The Green Acres Residential Community is knourn for its convenient design, as this map illustrates. Right here, in
the northwest corner of the map, is the Shopping Complex- lfs convenientv placed close to most of the commu-

the Shopping Complex, are the single-iamily homes. Just to the south of these homes is the park, a convenient
recrealion area Ior both children and parents. And looking over the park, iust to its east, is the school. So, shopping,
rbcreation, and the school are all conveniently close to the residences. And il we look across Green Acres Street
from the park, we ll lind the library and just to the east of it, the bank. Weve installed tralfic lights at all intersections

lilies, and other lragrant flowers. To the right ol the buntain, just behind that rorJ of pine trees, you can just make out
a small building.The gardeneds cottage originally stood on thal site, but afrer it was torn down, that small shed was
erected in ils Place and is used lo store gardening tools, lawn moyve6, and other outdoor equipment. Over to the left
of the iountain, you can see a botsath. ll you want to wat( Oown to it lal6r on, rcr.fll find at the end a tiny lake filled

ern conveniences. There are showers iust across the road from our tents. We'll be cooking all our meals over
the fire pits near the tents. Just beyond the lire pits is a nice little pond, so i, anyone is up for a swim, thafs the

Man: So probably it needs to be controlled with poison.

Woman 1: Actually' you wouldnt want to use poison or any kind ot herbicide as that would harm

Woman: Oh, yes, I was reading something about thal rccently. The colors all have speciil meaning!, or something,
donl they?

Man: Yeah, the ancient Egyplians used colors to symbolize different things. white, ,or example, meant puritli and
black meant death, though somstimes it represented lifs, too.
Woman: That's strange. Anyhow, I thought green symbolized life.

Man: well, it does. lt represents new lile and vegetation, as you might imagine. I mean, that makes sense. There
is also this green stone, malachite, that was used as a symbol o, joy.

Although in common speech we may use words such as marsh, swamp, and bog interchangeably,
these terrns
actually reler to different types of wetlands with different characteristics. A wetland is an area
that is covered
with shallow water for at leasl part of the year. A marsh is a wetland where grassy vegetation predominates.
Marshes are orten found near still water such as a pond or a lake. A swamp, on the other hand,
is a we and
characterized by the presence of woody shrubs and trees. Swamps are also lound near rivers.
Both swamps

The ancient Mayans are renowned for the beautilul temples and palaces that they built. Difierent
architectural styles
can be seen depending on location and period ol history. we've already discussed the peten
style, which devel-
oped in the pre-classic and early classic period. The Bec River style developed out of the peten
style, during the
late classic period. lt is characterized by the use of towers as ornamentation, as well as the
use oi checkeboard
motifs, flgureheads, and columns to decorate the building facades, or ,ronts. The puuc
style was characterized by
more complex buildings ol many rooms and floors. The walls were decorated with stone carved
in geometric pat-

during the posttlassic period. lt was characterized by buildings with flat roofs and main

As you might expect, TV viewing habits vary among different age groups. Recent studies
have shown lhat older
people' those aged sixty-five and above, spend between six and seven
hours a day walching Tv. Compare this to
teenagers who actually spend the least amount of tim¤ in ,ronl ol the Tv, three to four
hours a day. younger adults
average five to six hours in front of lhe TV each day. So tho figures clearly show that TV watching
increases as we
age' And whal do the different age groups watch? Allhough all age groups say that they
watch Tv ,or entertain-
ment, older adults actually tend lo watch what we might call nonfictional programs, that is
news and other types
of intormational shows. Younger adurts watch ress news programming and more entertainment

The llama, an an,mal native to the Andes Mountains, has been an important part of
lnca culture since 4ooo Bc,
when it was first domesticated. The llama is able to survive at high mountain altitudes.
lt can nourish itself on the
sparse vegetation lound at higher altitudes and still produce meai and wool. Llama meat
was an importalt source
ot tood for all sectors of ancient lnca sociery Llama wool, ivhich is somewhat coarse in
teture, was used by the
commonpeople to weave into clothing. The upper classes preterred the softer wool
o, the alpaca, a clcse cousin of
the llama' Later on, the lnca people slarted the llama as a pack animal. lt travels
easily over rocky mountain slopes
and thus was used to transport goods and maintain connections with distant communities.
The llama continued to
be important to lnca lile Ior centuries. ln the year AD 562, an area of the Andes
sutFered a drought. This resulted in
the deaths of large numbers o, llamas due to lack of ,ood and decreased disease

Good morning and welcome to the City Zoo. We are excited'to have all you teachers here with us today to learn about
the zoo and the programs we offer to school children, and we hope lhal all ol you will plan to bring lrour classos to
visit us during this school year. We re open almost every day ol the year, including holida)rs, with the oception of the
last week ol the year- We close lor that entire we¤k. Other than that, you can plan to bring your classes tor a visit
any day ),ou like, any time between opening al eight to closing at fve. We try to keep our enirance fees as low as
possiue, and school groups get a discount of fine-en percent when you bring a group of at least ten children.you may
also want to lake advantage o, our free days. We dorft cha¤e any entrance lee on the first Monday o, each month.

Let's start with a look at a zoo map so you can get an idea ot what's available. Here in the lower left-hand corner is
the main entrance. Across the palhway to the easi of the entrance is the Education Building, where we are sitting
right now. Here in the northwest corner is the picnic area, which is a good place lor you to plan to have lunch with
your class. To the right o, it is the cafeteria. Lunch, of course, is available there, too, but most teachers, I find, prefer
to have their students bring their own lunches. The picnic area also looks out over the small lake, just to the south
ol it, which is in the area where our water birds are. So it's a pretty spot. Just to the south ot the water birds is the
small mammal house, whioh most children enioy visiting. lf you'd rather see some large mammals, the elephant
house is located across the pathway to the west ol the small mammal house. Just north of the elephants, you can
visit lizards, crocodiles, and turtles in the reptile house.

talk a bit about our plans lor that a little later. For high school students, up lo age eighteen, we have some plans for
them in the works too. Unfortunately, we have nothing for preschool kids, the four and five year old set, at this time.

So, lor the primary school kids we have several programs you can choose from. Animals Up Glose is a popular
one. Kids get a chance to get close to actual zoo animals. While we can't allow the kids to actuatly pet the animals,
they can help with the feeding. And we talk about animal care, keeping the animals clean and healthy, and we give
a grooming demonstration. For this, and all our programs, we provide teachers with reading materials to share with
the class before the visit. You can also use them as a resource if you plan to test your class on what lhey learned
during the visit.All our programs last one hour, and we do expect you to stay with your class during that entire time.

animals. First you have thirty seconds
to look at questions 31 to 35.

[3o-second pausel

Narrator: Now listen carefully and answer questions 3l to 35.


Today l'm going lo talk about a couple o, commonly confused marine mammals-{olphins
and porpoises. Aren,t
they lhe same animal? you may ask. Many people think they are, and they
are very similar to each orher. But
they are different. Along with their cousins, the whales, dolphins, and porpoises
make up the order cetacea.
They are all closely related' and the basic way to distinguish between
whales, on the one hand, and dolphins
and porpoises, on the olher, is size, as vvhales are much larger than dolphins
and porpoises. Additionafly, those
that are classified as true whales have baleen rather than te;th, which
allows them to lilter their food out of the
water' All dolphins and porpoises' on the other hand, hav6 teeth and,
of course, eat a different type of diet. The
killer whare, arso cafled orca, is nol rea-fly a whare, despitq its name,
but is the rargest dorphin. Nor a porpoise,
but a dolphin' so what's the dilference? lt basically comes down lo size and
shape. Although some species of
dolphins are on the small side, they generally tend to be larger than porpoises.
They can reach up to twelve feet
or longer in size, while porpoises are under seven feet in length. You
can also determine the difference by look-
ing at the shape of several distinguishing features; for example, the
shape o, the snout on each animal is quile
different' A dolphin's snoul, also called its beak, is pointed, while a porpoise,s
is blunt. so that,s one difference.

Narrator: Beforc you hear the rest of the convJrsation, take thirty
seconds to look at questions 36 to 40.

[3Gsecond pausel

Nafrator: Now listen and answer questions 36 to 40.

The torm ol the teeth is another way to tell the difference. Those ol
the dolphin are poinred like cones white lhose of
the'porpoise are flat and wide like spades. And then there is thb dorsal
fin, often the most prominent feature when
you see a group of dolphins ,umping through the water.
on the dolphin, this has a curved edge, while that of the
porpoise is straight edged, like a triangle. oK, then, in
add;rion to being larger in size, dolphins are atso larger in
number' while there arc something over thirty species ol
dolphins that we know of, including both lreshwater and
ocean sPecies, lhe number ol porpoise species is far less, adding
up to
iusr six. we might even consider
dotphins to
be more talented than porpoises, or at least more chatty. Dolphins
communicate with each other by making whistling
sounds underwater. Researchets believe that porpoises dont do
this. Nevertheless, both dolphins and porpoises
are highly intelligent creatures.
