An Oil for Life

Maria Alcal?of Madrid speaks for many Mediterranean people when she says that "a meal without olive oil would be a bore." No one knows when the Mediterranean civilizations initially fell in love with olives. That occurred before recorded history. However, there is evidence that the cultivation of olive trees began in countries around the Mediterranean Sea in approximately 4,000 B.C., and 2,000 years after that people in the eastern Mediterranean region began to produce oil from olives. The Mediterranean still accounts for 99 percent of all world olive oil production.

From ancient times until today, the basic process of producing the oil is the same. First, whole olives are crushed. Then, the liquid is separated from the solids. After that, the valuable oil is separated from the water.

Many olive growers maintain their ancient traditions and still harvest the olives by hand. "We ... harvest in the traditional way," says Don Celso, an olive farmer from Tuscany, Italy. "It would be less expensive to do it with machines, but it's more a social thing. Twenty people come to help with the harvest, and we pay them in oil."The Benefits of Olive Oil

Olive oil has had a variety of uses through its long history. In ancient times, olive oil was used as money and as medicine. It was even used during war -- heated up and dropped down on

attackers. It is still used in religious ceremonies. It is great for protecting the freshness of fish and cheese. There are even olive oil lamps and olive oil soaps.

One important study showed that Mediterranean people have the lowest rate of heart disease among Western nations. This is partly associated with their frequent use of olive oil. Other studies have shown that food cooked in olive oil is healthier, and that eating olive oil twice a day reduces women's risk of getting breast cancer. The world is beginning to understand its benefits, and olive oil is no longer an unusual sight at dinner tables outside the Mediterranean region. The olive oil producing countries now sell large amounts of olive oil to countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and North and South America.

Olive oil enhances the lives of people everywhere. Its benefits, recently confirmed by science, were already understood in ancient times. Mediterranean people are happy to share their secret with the world.

Script

Trans fats are specially treated cooking oils often used in the process of preparing various foods sold in restaurants and stores. Until recently, trans fats accounted for nearly all the cooking oil used in fast food restaurants. Recently, as a result of health studies, trans fats have been associated with higher rates of heart disease and with higher chances of getting cancer and other health problems. Based on this new evidence, one American city recently passed a law that limits trans fats to, at most, approximately one half gram in any food product.

Sofrito Sensation

Puerto Rico, a Caribbean island rich in history and remarkable natural beauty, has a cuisine all its own. Immigration to the island has helped to shape its cuisine, with people from all over the world making various contributions to it. However, before the arrival of these immigrants, the island of Puerto Rico was already known as Borik閚and was inhabited by the Ta韓o people. Ta 韓o cuisine included such foods as rodents with sweet chili peppers, fresh shellfish, yams, and fish fried in corn oil.

Many aspects of Ta韓o cuisine continue today in Puerto Rican cooking, but it has been heavily influenced by the Spanish, who invaded Puerto Rico in 1508, and Africans, who were initially brought to Puerto Rico to work as slaves. Ta韓o cooking styles were mixed with ideas brought by the Spanish and Africans to create new dishes. The Spanish extended food choices by bringing cattle, pigs, goats, and sheep to the island. Africans also added to the island's food culture by introducing powerful, contrasting tastes in dishes like pi駉n ?plantains layered in ground beef. In fact, much of the food Puerto Rico is now famous for -- plantains, coffee, sugarcane, coconuts, and oranges -- was actually imported by foreigners to the island.

A common assumption many people make about Puerto Rican food is that it is very spicy. It's true that chili peppers are popular; aj?caballero in particular is a very hot chili pepper that Puerto Ricans enjoy. However, milder tastes are popular too, such as sofrito. The base of many Puerto Rican dishes, sofrito is a sauce made from chopped onions, garlic, green bell peppers, sweet chili peppers, oregano, cilantro, and a handful of other spices. It is fried in oil and then added to other dishes.

How to Make a Basic Sofrito

Ingredients 1 yellow onion; 2 cloves garlic; 1 green bell pepper; 3 to 4 sweet chili peppers; 3 cilantro (coriander) leaves; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1/4 teaspoon dried whole oregano Directions

Remove skins from onion and garlic. Clean and prepare green bell and sweet chili peppers. Wash in water. Then finely chop these ingredients, including the cilantro leaves. Place a heavy-bottomed pot over low heat; add oil and oregano. Add the chopped ingredients. Continue cooking for about three to four minutes, stirring occasionally.

A. Multiple Choice.

Question 1. Who lived in Puerto Rico first?

Question 2. Which of the following is a major point of the listening passage?

Question 3. How much olive oil is used in the recipe for sofrito?

Question 4. Which of the following is NOT true?

Question 5. How is sofrito used?

Script

Welcome to a world of small, beautiful works of art that you just can't stop yourself from eating: the world of Thai sweets. The mildness of this aspect of Thai cuisine provides some relief from the delicious but spicy main dishes. The base of Thai sweets -- perhaps rice, coconut, banana, or mango -- gives them a lovely taste that says "Thailand." Colorful little sweets shaped like bananas, apples, mangoes, and oranges are even more beautiful and delicious than the real thing. Lovely rice cakes called kanom chan have layers of green, white, and pink, or are shaped like flowers. If you travel through Thailand on a hot day, you may occasionally see a child holding a colorful treasure in a plastic cup. It's delicious Thai flavored ice杗am kang sai. If you prefer ice cream,

coconut is the most popular among Thais, although traditional imported flavors such as vanilla or strawberry are also well-liked.

Script

Olive Oil

Narrator:

Throughout much of the Mediterranean, olives are an important aspect of everyday life. Walk through any Greek market and you'll find evidence of how important they really are. Here, on the island of Naxos, you'll see them in different sizes and in different colors: green, black, brown ... Tourist:

"I must admit, I was around olive trees most of my life, and it wasn't until several years back that I found out the green olive and the black olive came from the same tree."Narrator:

Like this tourist, a lot of people assume that black and green olives come from different trees. In fact, most people probably wouldn't recognize an olive tree.

This time of year, on the hills of Naxos, the olive trees have flowers on them. Without the fruit, though, the tree isn't easy to identify.

Christina Lefteris, Naxos School of Ecology:

"In this area, between Monitsia and the other village of Moni, which is up in the hills, there are some of the very old olive trees."Narrator:

To make green olives, you need to collect them when they are still young.

Christina Lefteris:

"There are small ones and some giant ones and people decide which ones they prefer. Well, I like all of them. I think I would never say no to any olive."Narrator:

Not everyone has the same liking for them.

"I don't like them. I hate them."Tourist:

"Yesterday, I ordered this pizza which had olives on it and I couldn't take it."Tourist:

"It tastes old, it tastes ugly."Narrator:

It's true that olives are old. Some trees have been alive for thousands of years. In fact, olives have been an important part of life here since the early days of Greek civilization. In Greek tradition, Eirene, the goddess of peace, is shown carrying an olive branch. Even today, olives are associated with peace. If people want to end a war, they are said to "offer an olive branch."Katherina Bolesch, L'Olivie Halki:

"From the olive tree, you can actually make ... you can use everything. There is nothing you throw away."Narrator:

Katherina Bolesch owns a remarkable shop in Naxos where everything is made from olives. Katherina Bolesch:

"You eat the olives, you make oil from it. You can make a kind of tea from the leaves."Narrator: Olive oil accounts for much of Greece's olive production. To produce the best liquid, olives are collected and processed once they have become black. The sooner they are pressed, the better the oil. Used for cooking, for light, and occasionally as medicine, the oil is believed to give good health and long life to those who use it.

Christina Lefteris:

"They're very valuable for vitamins, and their oils are very healthy."Narrator:

And the olive trees themselves also help to give the land a feeling of peace.

Christina Lefteris:

"You can have a look around and understand that all these trees are not aggressive. Their color is a little soft, all their shape is quite mild. Something that lasts long, give fruits, I think it's a good feeling of what peace means."

Answer Key

A. Refer to summaries of each lesson in this unit.

B. Apart from olives, onion also has health benefits. There are many different varieties of onion: yellow, red, white and green, each with their own unique flavor. Onions can also be cooked in various ways in different cuisines around the world. Onions are generally thought useful in treating colds, coughs and asthma. In Chinese medicine, doctors also use onions to treat bacterial infections. Onions are a good resource of vitamins. According to some studies, they can protect our heart, lower the sugar level in blood and even protect us from cancer.

Script

Song of the Humpback

Herman Melville, the writer of the famous whale story Moby Dick, wrote that humpback whales were "the most lighthearted of all the whales". A favorite of whale watchers everywhere, they swim in ocean areas close to land and are active at the surface, often jumping out of the water and coming down with a great splash. They are intelligent animals and can be seen working together as they hunt schools of small fish. And, if you listen closely, you might even hear one singing.

Recording Gentle Giants

Marine biologist Jim Darling has studied the songs of humpback whales for 25 years. While recording whale songs on a boat near Hawaii, he invited author Douglas Chadwick to experience diving with a humpback. In the water, the way Chadwick heard the whale's songs changed completely. "Suddenly, I no longer heard the whale's voice in my ears. I felt it inside my head and bones." He clearly sensed the whale's silent awareness of him. The 13-meter-long giant looked him over curiously, but never harmed him.

The whale then swam under the boat. It pointed its head down to the ocean floor and, with flippers extended out to its sides, began to sing. Up in the boat, Darling recorded the whale's song. Such songs may be long and complex, lasting for 30 minutes or more; they are perhaps the longest songs sung by any animal.

Why Do They Sing?

Darling says that only male humpbacks sing, but for unknown reasons. It was previously thought that they sang to attract females, but scientists showed this was incorrect when they played recordings of whale songs in the ocean and no females came around. Another idea is that male humpbacks compete with each other using songs, just as other male animals do using antlers, or tusks.

In addition to their long and mysterious songs, humpbacks make a variety of other sounds as they interact each day. When alarmed by enemies such as killer whales, or when the feeding is especially good, the sounds they produce can be louder than an airplane engine.

A Brighter Future

During the days of heavy whale hunting, the world humpback population was reduced from an estimated 125,000 to around 6,000 animals. Thanks to laws against hunting, humpbacks now number perhaps 30,000 animals, although the constantly moving humpbacks are very difficult to count. However, it now seems that this mysterious singer will continue to sing for years to come.

A. Multiple Choice.

Question 1. What is this listening passage mainly about?

Question 2. Why do humpbacks sing?

Question 3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a situation in which humpbacks make sounds?

Question 4. Which of these statements has been shown by scientists to be incorrect?

Question 5. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

Script

Another variety of singing whale is the blue whale. Like humpbacks, blue whales sing songs that marine biologist Phillip Clapham describes as "probably the most complex in the animal kingdom." Although they are the largest whales in the ocean, blue whales can move as fast as 48 kilometers per hour when interacting with other whales. However, this speed couldn't help them escape from their human enemies, who hunted them until they nearly disappeared last century. Happily, laws now protect blue whales, and their numbers are increasing again. Curious to know more about them, National Geographic scientists have connected cameras to blue whales in the ocean. The cameras, which don't hurt the whales, have given scientists valuable information about the ways blue whales swim, eat, and sing. This information helps scientists better understand and protect blue whales.

Dogs in a Human World

The partnership between humans and dogs began perhaps 14,000 years ago. Our first

interactions may have occurred when wild dogs were attracted to human garbage, or humans may have acquired the puppies of wild dogs and trained them to be obedient pets. By means of the careful selection of dog parents, humans have been able to create a wonderful variety of dogs with plenty of talents and many different looks. Here are three examples of "a dog's life" in the human world.

The working dog

Jacques is one of many beagles that work at airports for the U.S. government in a program known as the Beagle Brigade. Beagles were chosen for this work because of their powerful noses. Their job is to smell and alert officers to illegal fruits, vegetables, and other foods in luggage or in mail. They do the job far better than humans could alone.

Some of the beagles who work in the program are donated by private owners, but many are ownerless beagles rescued from animal shelters. Many beagles who were scheduled to be euthanized are now working to keep their country safe from disease.

Treated like a queen

Tiffy, a beautiful eight-pound maltese is treated like a queen in New York City. Her owner, Nancy Jane Loewy, carefully prepares her meals of lamb, steak, salmon, tuna, chicken, and a variety of fresh vegetables. Tiffy also gets low-fat yogurt and cookies after dinner. Why? Loewy replies, "I have a dog because the dog needs me."

Leowy, whose husband has a high-paying job and whose two sons are away at school, has the time and money to treat Tiffy extremely well, and she truly enjoys doing so. "I want to give her the healthiest, most wonderful life possible for as long as possible."The animal carer

Jessie is a whippet that visits children who are fighting deadly diseases. She brightens patients' days with love and gives children a chance to exercise. At the National Institutes of Health, Jessie helps patients like young Lukas Parks to stay strong during their long hospitalization.

Whether as workers or objects of affection, dogs have certainly proven themselves to be beneficial to humans in many ways. At the same time, their special place as "man's best friend" has allowed dogs to survive in a human world. While wolves and wild dogs have nearly disappeared from the earth, domestic dogs continue to grow in number, thanks to their special relationship with humans.

A. Multiple Choice.

Question 1. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?

Question 2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

Question 3. Which one is NOT true according to the passage?

Question 4. Which one of the following is NOT a reason Loewy treats Tiffy extremely well?

Question 5. Which dog eats human food?

Script

Dogs were probably first attracted to humans by the smell of our garbage. Nowadays, the government of the United States has a use for those powerful noses that is beneficial to all who fly in airplanes. A program in Texas trains dogs to smell bombs on planes and in passengers' luggage. Although other wild animals also have an excellent sense of smell, dogs are much easier to train because they are domestic animals that pay attention to humans. The partnership between dogs and humans allows each to profit from the special skills of the other as they work together to save lives.

Script

Man's Best Friend

Narrator:

Dogs are often known as man's best friend. Many societies have them as pets or rely on them to perform a variety of tasks. The story of man and dog is a complex story that goes back thousands of years and will almost certainly go on for thousands more. Dogs interact with humans in a variety of ways. Dogs such as border collies are trained to herd livestock such as sheep. Huskies pull us through some of the coldest and most dangerous places on Earth. Dogs have a sense of smell 1,000 times more powerful than our own. This means they can search for people who are lost under deep snow, or under the debris of a collapsed building or deep in the forest. Beagles perform their duties at airports, where their sense of smell helps them to find drugs and other illegal items in people's luggage. They lead the blind and help to ease the lives of disabled people. For many, the dog is also an obedient companion -- and friend.

When did this remarkable partnership start? We know now that the wolf began working with people in the distant past -- roughly 14,000 years ago. Over the years, the wolf became the talented domestic pet we know as the dog. There are plenty of theories, but the real reason why humans acquired dogs is still unknown. Was it because they needed to protect each other from harm? Was it a hunting partnership? Was it a need for companionship -- a type of friendship? Or was it a combination of the three? For 14,000 years the dog has played an important role in

human societies. It's a partnership that's likely to continue for many years to come.

Writing

A. Refer to summaries of each lesson in this unit.

B. Besides dogs, human beings have a close bond with elephants especially in those tropical countries. Not like dogs, elephants are not kept as pets. They help to transport logs from the jungles. Because of their huge build, human beings can ride on them and go through the jungles and across the streams easily. Elephants can also be trained to perform in front of tourists which will bring these countries a large fortune. Unfortunately, in some developing countries, many elephants got hurt by the mines placed during the war and became disabled. So the government and some international societies are working together to help them.

Was King Tut Murdered?

King Tutankhamun was just a teenager when he died. He was the last king of a powerful family

that had ruled Egypt for centuries. When he died in 1322 B.C., Tut (as Tutankhamun is often known today) was placed in a luxurious, gold-filled tomb. There he lay forgotten until the tomb's eventual discovery in 1922. Although we now know a lot about his life, the reason for Tutankhamun's death at such a young age has remained a mystery, with murder the most extreme possibility. Now, improved X-ray technology is offering new clues into King Tut's death. Discovered and Damaged

The British archeologist Howard Carter opened Tut's tomb in 1922. Although it had been robbed in ancient times, it was still full of gold and other amazing items. Carter spent months carefully recording the treasures. When he and his team then attempted to remove King Tut's mummy, they found that it had become attached to its solid gold coffin. Unfortunately, they did a great deal of damage to the mummy while removing it.

Theories About Tut's Death

In 1968, archeologists conducted an examination of the mummy using simple x-ray technology. Three important discoveries led to various theories about his death.

The X-rays showed that bones in King Tut's chest were missing. Carter hadn't done that damage. Tut was a trained fighter and hunter, so some people have guessed that it was caused by a war injury or a hunting accident.

There appeared to be pieces of bone inside the skull, causing many to believe that King Tut was killed by a blow from behind to the head. Was he murdered by people wanting to take control of Egypt?

A serious fracture discovered above Tut's left knee could have been the result of an accident or attack. Infection might have started there and killed the boy king.

A Closer Look at the Mummy

In recent years, scientists, under the direction of Zahi Hawass, head of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, have applied a new and more effective X-ray technology to mummies throughout Egypt. In the images, each bone appears in perfect detail.

So, was King Tut's death murder or accident, infection or war injury? Doctors who analyzed the X-ray images say that the skull was mainly undamaged, excluding the possibility of a blow to the head. However, while modern technology has been able to rule out one theory, the actual cause of death remains unknown. It seems there are secrets that even the latest technology cannot yet find the answers to.

A. Multiple Choice.

Question 1. How does the passage answer the question, "Was King Tut murdered?"

Question 2. Which of the following has NOT been suggested as a reason for King Tut's death?

Question 3. How was the mummy of King Tut damaged?

Question 4. What was the problem with King Tut's chest?

Question 5. Why does the actual cause of King Tut's death remain unknown?

Script

The pharaohs of ancient Egypt lived very luxurious lives, and it seems that they wanted to take their treasure into the next life, too, because their tombs were filled with beautiful items of gold. In the ancient Egyptians' complex theory of life after death, their body had to last a very long time. This is the reason for mummies. In the mummification process the liquid was removed from the body, which was then treated with oil and spices, and covered in cloth to exclude any water --

mummies must be kept dry to last. Thanks to tests conducted by researchers, we have been able to learn a lot about the pharaohs -- how they looked, whether they had any injuries, and more!

Who Killed the Iceman?

In 1991, high in the mountains of Europe, hikers made a gruesome discovery: a dead man partly frozen in the ice. However, the police investigation soon became a scientific one. Carbon dating indicated that the man died over 5,300 years ago. Today he is known as the Iceman and has been nicknamed "Otzi" for the Otztal Alps where he was found. Kept in perfect condition by the ice, he is the oldest complete human body on earth.

Who Was the Iceman?

Scientists think he was an important person in his society. An examination of his teeth and skull tells us that he was not a young man. His arms were not the arms of a laborer. His dagger was made of stone, but he carried a copper ax. This implies wealth, and he was probably from the upper classes. We know he could make fire, as a fire-starting kit was discovered with him. Even the food he had eaten enabled scientists to deduce exactly where in Italy he lived.

Clues to an Ancient Murder

But why did the Iceman die in such a high and icy place? There have been many theories. Some said he was a lost shepherd. Others thought he was killed in a religious ceremony. Over the years since he was found, tiny scientific discoveries have led to great changes in our understanding of the story of the Iceman. The newest scientific information indicates that he was cruelly murdered. "Even five years ago, the story was that he fled up there and walked around in the snow and probably died of exposure," said Klaus Oeggl, a scientist at the University of Innsbruck in Austria. "Now it's all changed. It's more like a ?crime scene."A Bloody Discovery

In June 2001, an X-ray examination of the body showed a small dark shape beneath the Iceman's

left shoulder. It was the stone head of an arrow. It had caused a deadly injury that probably killed him very quickly. In 2003, an Australian scientist discovered the blood of four different people on the clothes of the Iceman. Did a bloody fight take place before his murder? Injuries on his hand and head indicate that this may be true. One theory, put forward by archeologist Walter Leitner, says that the Iceman's murder was the end of a fight for power among his people. However, this idea is certainly debatable.

Today, the research continues, proving some theories false while opening the door to others. Through scientific research, this oldest member of our human family continues to tell us about his life and the time in which he lived.

A. Multiple Choice.

Question 1. What is this passage mainly about?

Question 2. Why do scientists believe the Iceman was not a young man?

Question 3. What probably caused the death of the Iceman?

Question 4. Which of the following ideas is described as "debatable"?

Question 5. Why do scientists continue to carry out research on the Iceman?

Script

1. After shooting the Iceman, his murderer may have cruelly pulled out part of the arrow and left him to die.

2. The Iceman lived before the invention of money; in his time wealth meant fine tools, clothing, houses, and animals.

3. Scientists believe that Otzi was not a laborer because his body is in good condition and doesn't show the damage caused by a life of hard work.

4. Many scientists now believe that the cause of Otzi's death was the tiny arrowhead, only two centimeters across, found under his shoulder.

5. Although there are many interesting ideas about how the Iceman died, the truth about his death remains debatable.

Inca Mummy

Narrator:

This girl is Quechuan, one of the native people of the Andes believed to be direct descendants of the Inca people. Clues to where she came from may lie with one of her ancient ancestors. This body of a young Inca girl was discovered in 1995 by archeologist Johan Reinhard. She was found on an Andean mountain called Ampato. Some parts of her body were mummified, preserved in ice. They named the girl after Johan, calling her "Juanita."Johan Reinhard, Explorer:

"When we climbed the peak and found the mummy ... then we knew we were really onto something. That they had not just worshipped it from afar, but they had actually climbed to the summit and made these sacrificial offerings."Narrator:

Reinhard and his team walked high into the Andes, the mountain range that runs from the north of Peru to the south, dividing the country in half. For the Inca people, these were more than just challenging places to climb -- the mountains were thought to be gods. According to Reinhard, the Inca believed that if they made offerings -- in this case, young girls -- the mountains would treat them well. If they didn't respect the mountain gods, the people would have great problems. After their success in finding the Inca girl, Reinhard's team went back to conduct a second exploration. Their findings this time were equally important.

On the ground lay six stone circles -- patterns of rock used by the Inca long ago to show the location of burial sites. After carefully digging beneath one of these circles, the body of another child was found. And not too far away, yet another body. The discovery of more bodies implies that many people were sacrificed here.

Johan Reinhard:

"This site looks like they had ... multi-human sacrifices, not just multi-burials, and so that makes it particularly unique."Narrator:

It wasn't easy to free the bodies or the objects that they found in the ground. The ground was frozen, and the team had to use their fingers to slowly take out the ancient pots. While the archeologists conducted their investigation, the body of the original ice maiden, Juanita, was carefully analyzed in the Peruvian town of Arequipa. She was found covered in cloth. Scientists had to separate the outer layers of clothing, which had become attached over the years.

A few months after she was discovered, Juanita was sent to Johns Hopkins University in the U.S., where a team of scientists looked for clues about her death. They used modern technology to deduce that a powerful blow to the side of her head had broken her skull. According to their theory, it was this injury that ended the young girl's life.

Like all mummified bodies found in the Andes, Juanita enables us to understand more about the ancient Inca people who once lived in these mountains. Juanita could be evidence of a

connection with the people, like this little Quechuan girl, who live here now.

Writing

Answer Key

A. Refer to summaries of each lesson in this unit.

B. Whether it be Egyptian King Tut discovered in 1933 or the Iceman found in the Alps, scientists have used modern technology to explore the causes of their death. From my perspective, it is necessary to spend money exploring the past, for a basic understanding of our history lets us know where we came from or how civilizations have evolved and interacted. We can have an insight into the measures ancient people took when they faced real challenges or had uncertainty about the future. History can be an important vehicle that influences how we handle critical issues today.

Background Information

The Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum were destroyed by an eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. They are located southeast of Naples, Italy. Ash and pumice stone from the volcano covered the cities so quickly that people did not have time to flee to safety. They were caught in their everyday activities. For this reason, when the site was finally excavated by archeologists 1,700 years later, details of life were extremely well preserved. Frescoes or wall paintings tell researchers about daily life and the religious beliefs of that time.

Geologists who have analyzed the soil believe that Vesuvius erupted in 1780 B.C. In addition, there are signs that a terrible earthquake occurred in 62 A.D., only 17 years before the destruction of the cities. People must have been optimistic that a further disaster would not occur, because they had worked hard to rebuild damaged buildings. Yet, when the eruption happened in 79 A.D., the victims were caught and they died immediately.

Today, Pompeii is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and scientists and historians are concerned that some of the site is being destroyed by its exposure to the air and by too much tourism. They have closed off some of Pompeii for further excavation and have tried to get tourists to visit other sites in the area such as Herculaneum instead of only Pompeii.

Buried Cities

Today it may appear calm and peaceful, but Mount Vesuvius has been responsible for some of the worst natural disasters in history. Although evidence shows that Vesuvius has erupted many times since its formation approximately 25,000 years ago, most people associate Vesuvius with the huge explosion that occurred on August 24, 79 A.D. The eruption lasted for two days and killed thousands in the ancient Roman towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Beneath layers of the volcano's ash, the towns -- and their people -- were frozen in a moment in time. Rediscovered in the mid-18th century, the remarkably well-preserved remains have enabled archeologists to gain a deeper understanding of Roman civilization. "We're digging in an area where a lot of Pompeians died during the eruption," says archeologist Gary Devore. "I remind myself all the time that I can investigate in such detail this ancient Roman culture as a direct result of a great human disaster."The eruption that buried Pompeii and Herculaneum was not

Vesuvius' worst. Scientists have found evidence of a bigger, more violent eruption in 1780 B. C., which likely killed or injured thousands of people living near the base of the volcano. The timing of the next big eruption remains unknown -- although most scientists assume it is not far away.

Part Three A Global View

Answer Key

A. 1. Linguists: people who study and analyze language

2. Language families: groups of similar languages

3. Native speakers: people who learned (a particular language) as a first language rather than as a foreign language

4. Dead languages: languages people no longer speak or understand

B. A language dies when it is no longer understood or spoken by people. It is a disadvantage because the world loses some of its linguistic variety. On the other hand, the information in Top Ten Languages mentions English as an international language, learned as a second or additional language by native speakers of other tongues. An advantage in a world closely connected by electronic communication and transport is that people from widely different language groups and cultures can communicate easily with each other.

Background Knowledge

To prepare students for the language topic, ask some of the following questions:

? What languages do students speak?

? What families do these languages belong to?

? If students speak several languages, which language did they learn first?

? Can students speak and understand any languages without reading or writing them?

? Why do students learn English as a second language?

For More Information:

Languages

Across the globe, over 6.7 billion people speak more than 5,000 languages. Each language is distinct, shaped by the cultures and people who use it. However, linguists -- people who study and analyze language -- have found evidence that some languages that sound and look very different actually have many similar aspects.

These groups of similar languages are called language families. Linguists have deduced that the languages in each family evolved from a single original language. Over time, when speakers of these ancient tongues interacted with other cultures or migrated to other parts of the world, they spread their language across the globe. Today aspects of the original language can be found in the various languages spoken by their descendants.

Indo-European

The largest language family, with approximately 500 languages and three billion speakers, includes English, German, Spanish, and Hindi, a language spoken by about one-fifth of India's population.

Originating in what is now southern Russia, this giant language family has been carried by exploration and colonization all over the world.

Afro-Asiatic

The languages of ancient Babylon and Egypt belonged to this family, which includes 375 languages spoken throughout Africa and Southwest Asia. Its largest living language is Arabic, the language of Islam, spoken by over 200 million people worldwide.

Japanese/Korean

These two languages were heavily influenced by Sino-Tibetan, which has eight distinct Chinese languages. Both Japanese and Korean imported Chinese words, and modern Japanese still uses written Chinese symbols, or characters.

Native American

In the Americas, most people speak dominant Indo-European languages like English, Spanish, and Portuguese. However, some native languages have survived. Quechua, the mother tongue of the Inca, still has ten million speakers, and in Paraguay, Guarani is still in daily use.

Top Ten Languages

Some languages have only a few hundred speakers, but others have millions. China's official language, Mandarin, has approximately 874 million native speakers (people who learned it as a first language rather than as a foreign language). Spanish, English, and Portuguese are also widely spoken -- largely as a result of large overseas empires built by the European nations. English is now widely used in fields such as science and international business. The total number of English speakers in the world (including non-native speakers) is debatable; estimates range from 500 million to more than a billion.

Language Death

There are many dying or dead languages -- languages that people no longer speak or understand. Linguists estimate that 10,000 languages once existed, but fewer than 5,000 are understood or spoken today. And while Earth's population is growing, the number of living languages is declining at an alarming rate.

Grand Central Terminal

Everything about Grand Central Terminal (GCT), conveniently located in the heart of Manhattan, is remarkable. On an average day, 700,000 people pass in and out of it. The information booth in the Main Concourse (the huge room that is the focal point of the building) gets as many as a thousand visitors an hour. Standing beside it, you feel that if you stood there long enough you would eventually see every person you have ever known in your life. "It's the town square for eight million people," says GCT spokesperson Dan Brucker. "If people get separated in the city, they'll meet at the information booth."GCT's art and style reflect the great economic success of railroad companies before the growth of car and air travel. You could spend years in Grand Central before you discovered all its secrets: its tennis courts, its hidden railroad cars, its private ground-floor apartment (now a bar). Nine stories below the lowest floor that the public gets to see is a basement known as M-42. Brucker explains, "This is not just the deepest and the biggest but the most secret basement in the city. During World War II, there were shoot-to-kill orders if you showed up down here."It was where the power came from to move the trains carrying soldiers. Today, one box in the basement holds a small red button, about the size of a coin. Above it is written "Emergency Stop." If you pressed this button, says Brucker, you could "make 125,000 people late for dinner."Above the ground, the Main Concourse features a ceiling painted to look like the night sky, with stars shining down. Over the years, smoke blackened this beautiful ceiling. Although people thought smoke from trains was the cause, it was actually tobacco smoke! However, it has since been cleaned and now shows its original beauty.

In the name of modernization, plans were made to destroy GCT in the 1960s. However, many people objected, and finally New Yorkers decided GCT was worth saving. In 1976, the U.S. government agreed. It made GCT a National Historic Landmark recognizing its importance for all Americans and ensuring its continued protection. Once threatened with destruction, Grand Central Terminal continues to give pleasure to passengers and sightseers in Manhattan.

A. Multiple Choice.

Question 1. Which statement is NOT true about Grand Central Terminal?

Question 2. What was blackened by smoke?

Question 3. Which of the following statements would Dan Brucker most likely agree with?

Question 4. "During World War II, there were shoot-to-kill orders if you showed up down here." What does the phrase show up mean?

Question 5. What is the main purpose of this article?

B. Completion. Have students complete Activity B, and then check answers as a class. The instruction to limit answers to a certain word limit is found in some standardized exams (e.g., IELTS), so check that students follow it.

Maybe he feel it is his duty to pay for everything ,and if he doesn’t pay for it ,he will be ashamed.so ,girls can pay only a little of the bill.i believe that true love is no difference in age.if he or she have the same value and attitude to things,of course the most important love ,they c an be together.but pay more attention to marriage ,you must choose the most suitable one to get married ,because he is someone who accompany with you for the rest of your life.love is not an easy thing ,so be in love with someone more carefully. 4.In our daily life, ads can be found everywhere.but the quality of the ads is not good as everyone want it to be.there are always something unreal in ads.some sponsor even cheat the customer to make profits.because of this, I’m not fully believe in the ads.so, in my opinion, producers don’t need to pay more attention to ads.when they already be knowm by the customers ,its effective for them to put their emphases on the quality or something else.because customers buy the product, not the ads.as for the customer ,we should not always trust the ads,some of them are aggrandizement.they are not as good as they say.sometimes they maybe even bad for our health .so be careful. 5.nowadays,pets become a member of many families.dogs and cats are the most popular pets .peopl e thinks they are lovely .some of the pets can even help people to do things. Such as the dogs,they can protect their owner from being hurt .they can keep the house safety, the can also help the policeman find somebody.yet ,not everyone love to have a pet .so I never give a pet as a birthday present.unless I know she likes pets.more and more people in today have a pet .they keep them in the apartment and never let them out.in my opinion, pets have their freedom,people shouldn’t always kepp them in the room.they need frash air and beautiful sunshine.since they are our friends instead of only a pet . 6.fishion Nowadays，an increasing number of college students are pursuing fashion，which has aroused a great concern in the society. Some，even at the beginning of their college life，begin to make every effort to buy a variety of famous-brand products. Some take part in different kinds of popular entrainment activities. As a result，when it becomes a kind of luxury to pursue fashion，all these will bring about a burden to these young people financially and mentally.As far as I am concerned，college students should cherish ambitions rather than become slaves of fashion.
