Man : Well, I’m working on a term paper about the influence of television on recent
United States presidential elections. I found a few of the books I need at the main library, but I
was told that the library here at the graduate school had more specialized materials.
Woman : Of course, it depends on what you want, but we do subscribe, to a large number
of journals. Since you’re working on such broad topic you’ll probably have to do a lot of
digging. It may take some time, but I’m sure you’ll be able to find many articles relevant to your
topic. We also have quite a few newspapers on microfilm
Man : I think I’ve come to the right place. How can I find out which journals you
have?
Woman : I can give you a list of all of them. But if you want to search by author or by
subject you can use one of computers over there in the corner. Everything we have is in there.
Man : What if I run across a reference to research study that isn’t available there?
Woman : You can request any outside material just by typing your request into the
computer.
Man : You mean you can get material from other universities?
Woman : Not only from other universities, but from virtually any public or private library’
in the United States. The only limitation is that outside materials need to be chacked out.

Listen to a talk given in a university class

Woman :
In today’s class we’ll be examining some nineteenth-century pattern books that were used
for building houses. I think it’s fair to say that these pattern books were the most important
influence on the design of North American houses during the nineteenth century.
This was because most people who wanted to build a house couldn’t afford to hire an
architect. Instead, they bought a pattern book, picked out a plan, and took it to the builder. The
difference in cost was substantial. In 1870, for example, hiring an architect would’ve cost about a
hundred dollars. At the same time, a pattern book written by an architect cost only five dollars.
At that price, it’s easy to see why pattern books were so popular. Some are back in print
again today, and of course they cost a lot more than they did a hundred years ago. But they’re an
invaluable resource for historians, and also for people who restore old house. I have a modern
reprint here that I’ll be passing around the room in a moment so everyone can have a look.

Questions 42 through 46
Listen to a student telling his classmates about something he saw last summer

Man :
When I was in British Columbia last July working at the department’s archaeological dig,
I saw the weirdest rainbow. At first, I couldn’t believe my eyes because the bands of color I saw
weren’t in a single half circle arc across the sky. Instead, I saw a full circle of rainbow hues
hanging in the sky just above the sea. Inside the circle there was a big white disc and above the
circle there was another round band of colors forming a halo. There were curved legs of
multicolored light coming off the sides of the circles.
I ran back to our main camp and tried to get our cook to come with me to see my fantastic
find before it disappeared. He just laughed at my excited story and told me that what I saw was
nothing special…. just some “sun dogs”. He said I’d be sure to see many more before I left. And
sure enough, I did. When I got back from the dig I asked Professor Clark about “sun dogs,” and
she’s going to tell us more about it.

Questions 47 through 50
Listen to a talk about the medical profession

Woman :
It seems like only yesterday that I was sitting where you are, just finishing my first year of
medical school and wondering if I’d ever get a chance to use all my new knowledge on a real live
patient.
Well, I have good news for you! You don’t have to wait until your third or fourth year of
medical school to get some hands-on experience! The dean has invited me here to tell you about
the university’s rural opportunities program. If you enroll this program, you can have the
opportunity this summer, after your first year of medical school, to spend from four to six weeks
observing and assisting a real physician like me in a small rural community. You won’t have to
compete with other students for time and attention, and you can see what life as a country doctor is
really like.
The program was designed to encourage medical students like your selves to consider
careers in rural communities that are still understaffed. It seems that medical students are afraid to
go into rural farnily’ practice for two reasons. First, they don’t know much about it. And second,
specialist in the cities usually make more money. But, on the up-side, in rural practice, doctors can
really get to know their patients and be respected members of the community.
I participated in the program when it first started and spent six weeks in a small rural town.
Let me tell you, it was really great! I got to work with real patients. I watched the birth of a child,
assisted an accident victim, and had lots of really practical hands-on experience – all in one
summer. And to my surprise, I found that country life has a lot to offer that city life doesn’t – no
pollution or traffic jams, for instance!
My experience made me want to work where I’m needed and appreciated. I don’t miss the
city at all!
