The cattle range industry started in western USA in the late eighteen hundreds. As the industry developed so did the horse ridding contests that we called rodeos. Rodeos weren’t always big entertainment shows that we see nowadays. The first ones were small contests started as an informal competition among people …..referred to the cowboys. Although they didn’t include both man and woman. One do the cowboys was to guide the cattle from grass rangers in town along the railroad lines where the cows were load on the trains. The cowboys would gather near the cattle towns to compete for cattle house writer. They were Demonstrated to riding skillsthat they had learned as a matter of survival. And the audiences who were composed mainly of other cowboyswho watch the competitive since they knew what’s eventual all about. Rodeos contesttook a different turn in the 1890’s . when organizers began to hold a cowboys sports during yearly every agriculture affairs. What was different
with the audience it consist mostly people who were unfamiliar with the life on the range.
They were amazed by the skills of riders and intelligence of horses. The rodeos at
every cultural affairs became so popular that the racher and businesspeople begin to organize rodeos as independent events separate from affairs. Theorganizers builtlarge …and earn money by requiring spectators to pay for the admition. More and more notable rodeos held annually in wem. It calledfrontier days. While “frontier days”is not the first independent rodeos, it is the oldest annually show taking for it each year since 1897.
40. What is the topic mainly about?
41. What can be infer about the early radio?
42. what is the significant about the frontier days

We’ve been looking at fear from biological perspective. And someone asked whether the dependence to be fearful is genetic. Some study done with mice indicate that mammals do inherit fearfulness to some degree. In one study for instance, a group of mice were placed in the bright lit open boxes with no hiding places. Some of the mice wondered around the bars and didn’t appear to be bothered about being so exposed. But other mice didn’t move. They sit…against one wall, which indicate they were afraid. Well, fearful mice or you might say anxious mice like ones who stayed in one place. When mice like thiswere bred with one another repeatedly,afterabout 12 or so generation,then all of the offspring show similar signs for fearfulness. And even when the new born mouse from this generation was raised bya mother and with other mice were not fearful, that mice still tend to be fearful as the result. Now, why is this? Well, it’s thought that the specific gene in animal body have influenced on the anxious behavior. These genes that are associated with particular nerve cell receptors in brain. And the degree of overall fearful mice in the mammal seem to depend in the large part on the presence or absence of these nerve cell receptors. And this appears to apply to humans as well by the way. But while the tendency towards anxiety and fear may well be an inherited trait, but the specific form that the fear takes has more to do individual environment. So a particular fear like the fearful of snakes or the fearful of spiders is not genetic. But overall the dependence to have fearful response is.
43. what is the talk mainly about?
44. how did some of the mice in the study demstrated that they were afraid?
45. according to the professor, what contribute to a mammal tendency to be
fearful?
46. why does the prof. mentions snakes and spiders?
Listen to a part of talk in the geology class.
One type of natural spring geography is interested in artesianspring. Hiking
through the woods some of you are surprised to see water flowing from the opening ground.
That will no more ever. That may be artesian spring. To help you understand why
water might flow like this from underground, I ‘d like to explain two basic
condition necessary for their formation. The first condition is the water
…..be contained in an aquifer. An aquifer is an underground layer of rock sediment that
has pores or holes in it. And this pores rock allows water to flow through it
freely. The aquifer must be inclined so that the over the surface of the
ground. Rain water enter this through exposed and traveled downward to the
lower portion of the aquifer. The second condition is that above and below
the aquiferthere must be layer of pores or clay. Either called aquicludes,
and they block or hinder the flow of water.Aquicludes prevent water from
drilling out of aquifer. So, let us go back to our tension spring. There
usually located above the ground near the lower and wind …… aquifer. A
artesian spring there places some hole crack stand from the ground surface,
down through the Aquicludesand into the aquifer. Now the rain water that
had drilled into the aquifer makes expose up …..created pressure at the
low …...so if there is crack in the rock, a crack that run from the
aquifer to the surface, then the pressure pushes the water up through it.and water
….. out of the c spring.
47. What is the topic mainly about?
48. Why are the aquicludes important to the development of theartesianspring?
49. According to the prof., how does water in the aquifer reach the groundsurface?
50. What does the prof. Say about the pressure?
