Part B
31. Where is this conversation taking place?
Correct
(Man) Even if we are going to stay home to watch the movie, we should still make popcorn.
That way, we can have it like we would in a movie theater without having to bother with driving, parking,
and paying the outrageous ticket prices.
(Woman) What a great idea! But we don’t have a popcorn popper.
(Man) No problem. All we need is a cooking pot and a little oil. You can pop popcorn in anything that
you can heat up to four hundred degrees. That’s how the settlers did it before poppers even existed. Actually
air corn poppers are best, and they don’t cost much.
(Woman) Oil adds calories. Without oil, you can have as much of it as you want. Not only does it taste
good, it’s also good for you.
(Man) We can’t do without oil. We’ll have burned corn kernels, not popped. Oil heats the corn kernel
and makes the moisture turn to steam and burst.
(Woman) All right, but don’t add a lot of it. It’s amazing how much bigger the popped corn is compared to
the kernel. I read somewhere that popped corn is thirty to forty times larger. Just imagine that!
(Man) Here, have some. And you said we needed a corn popper.

It is your responsibility to make up the work if you miss classes for any reason whatsoever. If you hand in your assignment after the due date, your grade will be lowered.

Question 43 of 50
43. Question
43. What is the main idea of this talk?
Correct
(Man) As most of you already know, a flu epidemic has invaded not only our city but also the entire state. To decrease your chances of catching flu, you must have a clear understanding of how viral diseases spread.
Flus are viral, communicable diseases that spread from person to person through contact. Coughing and sneezing are the most common ways in which a virus travels from one person to another. When someone coughs or sneezes, the tiny droplets containing viruses are expelled into the air. If a person nearby breathes
in these droplets, the virus travels from a sick person to a healthy one. After a virus invades a healthy cell, it multiplies rapidly and eventually damages or destroys the cell. If the number of contaminated cells is large,
the person becomes ill. You should note that colds spread in the same fashion as viral diseases. Touching door and faucet handles, shaking hands, and sharing towels can easily help transmit contagious diseases. One more complication needs to be mentioned. Some people who carry the infectious organisms within their bodies do not show any symptoms and are not even aware of being contagious but are, nevertheless, capable of transmitting viruses. Frequently, carriers of infections spread diseases unknowingly to themselves and others.

Question 47 of 50
47. Question
47. Who first noted a change in American social and cultural values?
Correct
(Woman) Did you know that we live in times of not only great technological but also social changes
that affect our society daily? American cultural and social values are undergoing major modifications, as has
been repeatedly pointed out in studies dealing with opinion research in the past ten or fifteen years. Unlike in the 1960’s and 1970’s, currently only twenty percent of the American public cites traditional values of hard work, family, and sacrifice as important to them. Polling firms throughout the country have found that leisure activities have come to occupy a prominent place in people’s lives. As a result, time has already become and will continue to be a scarce and valuable commodity. Manufacturers of time-saving products and suppliers of services, such as fast-food restaurants, prepared foods sold in stores, microwave ovens, disposable paper and fiber goods, fast-drying paints, and professional lawn services have shown a remarkable gain in revenue. A drive for self-fulfillment is also now looked at as an intrinsic American cultural value, although it was not commonly discussed even twenty years ago. The public seems to display an unprecedented desire to spend money and effort on improving looks and feeling healthy, vigorous, and energetic. People’s desire to satisfy personal creativity has given a boost to purchases of hobby products, weight reducing services, and even whirlpool baths.
