Which is the most important factor for determining the paging capacity in the BTS?()

you about my classes. A Hello, Lisa. I know its a bit late, but Merry Christmas. Are you having problems with any of your classes？ I know that you are taking a full course load this term. It must be tough to keep up with all the readings and assignments. S It is tough. I dont think Ive had a full nights sleep in a month. But Im not here about that. I was wondering if you could help me choose a second major. Most of the students getting business degrees have them, so I think I should get one, too. A I see. Well, I should start by telling you that just because other people are doing something does not mean that you should. I hope youre not thinking about a double major just because of your classmates. S Actually, theres more than one reason I want a double major, but keeping up with my classmates is important to me. Once we graduate, well be applying for the same jobs, so Im worried that their resumes will look better than mine. A lot of them are getting second majors in math or advertising. A Thats right. Im glad to see youre thinking ahead. I guess the question now is which second major will look the best to future employers. Any ideas？ S I am contemplating adding a language major, but Im unsure which one to choose. Its a tossup between Spanish and Japanese. A You already speak Spanish fluently, dont you？ Why would you bother taking classes in a language you already know？ Sort of a waste of time, isnt it？ S It depends on how you look at it. I know that I could pass the Spanish classes with flying colors, which would help my overall grade point average. Basically, I could improve my marks, have a double major on my degree, and, most importantly, not have to worry too much about killing myself with extra work. A That does make a lot of sense, now that youve explained it. But, arent you in university to learn more, not just collect grades？ You said you might want to study Japanese. Tell me why？ S Speaking Japanese would really help me in the business world. I know it would give me an edge in finding a job and getting promoted. But, Im already in my second year of school, which does not leave a lot of time to really master another language before I graduate. A Right. At best, you could expect to spend a lot of time studying, but youd only be a low intermediate speaker. Youd never learn enough to really do business in Japanese. S So you think I should take the Spanish classes？ I guess youre right. Besides, there are many countries that use Spanish, but only one that uses Japanese. Well, at any rate, I dont have to make up my mind for another week. Ill give it more thought. A Come back and we can talk more if you want. Im always here for the students. A Thats right. Im glad to see youre thinking ahead. I guess the question now is which second major will look the best to future employers. Any ideas？ S I am contemplating adding a language major, but Im unsure which one to choose. Its a toss up between Spanish and Japanese, What does the student mean when she says this: S Its a tossup between Spanish and Japanese.In this part of the section, you will hear 1 conversation and 2 lectures.

e the correct answer. Mark letter (A,B or C) on your Answer Sheet. John Stuart is an executive recruitment specialist who has turned to writing. The result is this book, based on interviews with twenty Chief Executives. Each top manager—none of them famous names, surprisingly is given a short chapter, and there is some introductory material and a conclusion. This means you can jump from one person to another, in any order, which is good for people who are too busy to read a book form. cover to cover. For a management book it isnt expensive, although whether its good value for money is doubtful. Some of the twenty interviewees started their own businesses, while others joined a company and worked , and fairly new in their position, and others have had years of experience—though, strangely, Stuart doesnt seem interested in these differences. The interviewees work in everything, from retailing to airlines to software, and it is this variety that forms the main theme of Stuarts book. I have to say that Stuarts approach annoys me. He rarely stays at a distance from his interviewees, who are mostly presented in their own, positive words. If this were always the case, at least you would know where you were. But he seems to dislike certain interviewees. As a result, I dont know whether to accept any of his opinions. It also means that the book gives no clear lessons. At the very least, I expected to learn what makes a successful Chief Executive. But these people seem to share two types of qualities. Some of them are very common, suggesting that anyone can be equally successful, which is definitely not the case. And the other qualities are ones which most successful bosses Ive seen definitely do not have. So in the end Im no wiser about what really goes on. Perhaps Im being unfair. As long as you dont think about whether youd like them as friends, and pay no attention to most of the advice they give, the most readable parts are where the bosses describe their route to their present position. Stuart seems to think that his book would be useful for people aiming for the top, and that it might even make a few want to start their own company; but, in fact, what they could learn here is very limited. Seen as light business reading for a doctor or teacher, though, this book would provide some good entertainment.

The reviewer suggests that one advantage of the book is that .

A.it is better value than other management books

B.it does not need to be read right through

C.it is about well-known people

l know, Morrison is both a popular and highly respected author and its not easy to be both. Born in 1931, Morrison has written some of the most touching and intelligent works on the African-American experience ever written by anyone. And yet to call her an African-American writer doesnt seem to do her justice. In many ways, shes simply an American writer and certainly one of the best. Beloved is a truly remarkable work. It was recommended for nearly every nature literary class, including the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and it in fact won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1988. Morrison herself is distinguished for having won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1993. What makes Beloved unique is the skillful sure way in which Morrison blends intensely personal storytelling and American history, racial themes and gender themes, the experience of blacks with the experience of all people everywhere, the down-to-earth reality of slavery with the sense of mysterious spirituality. We will be paying special attention to these themes as we discuss this work and Im particularly interested in your views on the relative importance of grace and gender in this book. Is it more important that Sethe, the main character, is black, or that she is a woman？ Which contributes more to her being？ What does Morrison tell us about both？ 23. What do we learn about Toni Morrison？ 24. What honor did Toni Morrison receive in 1993？ 25. What does the speaker tell us about Sethe, the main character, in Morrisons novel Beloved？24．

na look at the effects of global warming on a particular country to get this thing into context and I want to look at Australia, a country with 12 000 kilometers of coastline. Theres a whole series of problems. What I mean by that is uh... in a country like this, well, there are floods, droughts, cyclones, bushfires, landslides, earthquakes, soil degradation and...so on you name it, weve got it! OK. Now on your handouts theres a list of reading materials which you should have a look at in preparation for your tutorials next week. Id particularly recommend The Greenhouse Effect by Henderson-Sellers and Blong—theyre very good on the Australian situation. If you...for general background, Lovelocks is good, and the book edited by Pearman offers a nice review of greenhouse issues in Australia. Ive put them in Special Reserve, so you shouldnt have any trouble finding them. Okey...so Im gonna start today by looking at one of the most serious effects of a change in the global temperature that is, a rise in sea-level and...as I said, Im gonna concentrate today on the effects this would have on the Australian context. If we assume that therell be a meter or so rise in sea-level over uh...say, the next fifty years but unfortunately, the situations not so clear because weve got to take into consideration a variety of scenarios such as increased precipitation at the poles which might actually cause a fall in sea-level. Anyway, taking this figure of a meter rise over, say, the fifty or so years, what are we going to see？ Well, well see an effect on flooding of structures on the coast you know, house, sea walls, ports and the whole infrastructure of roads, rails, power lines and cables, and so on. Secondly, were gonna be seeing shoreline retreat in some low-lying areas. The sea will move inland in areas...such as the Gulf of Carpentaria. To put it another way, in low-lying urban areas, your nice beachfront apartment may just end up floating away and your parking lot two hundred meters from the beach will end up as a prime waterfront estate. Most Australian cities are on the coast and in the case of Brisbane in particular well, take a look at this overhead. Thats roughly the area indicated by the blue line thats gonna be affected with a one meter rise in sea-level. So if youre thinking of investing in real estate in this area, take my advice dont! Again, though, its difficult to predict the situation. Local conditions in some areas may actually increase the deposit of materials affecting an extension of the land. But whichever way you look at it therell be a fairly radical change to many eco-systems, and if you recall last weeks lecture on change well, were really opening a can of worms here. Apart from coastal flooding, we should also expect the penetration of salt water systems into estuaries, rivers and lagoons. If you think about the Myall Lakes system for example well, the whole freshwater complex could be reunited with the sea. One of the most serious direct consequences of this for man of course would be seepage into the groundwater in other words, the seas salt water would enter the water table under the land. This would cause salinity in sources of drinking water and irrigation. Thirdly, we should expect to see a rise in temporary flooding of coastal areas. Im not talking about flooding as a result of increased rainfall, though thats another consideration Ill come to it later. For now, Im talking about flooding as a result of higher tides. Think about it, the swamping of the storm water drainage system. Whats that gonna do to the street youre living in？ So, in summary, as weve seen youve got coastal flooding, destruction of coastal structures, shoreline shifts and salt water intrusion. Ill come back to some of these later, but for now, lets move on and look at tropical cyclones. Everyone remembers Tracy. Or maybe you dont because that is going back to 1974. Im getting a bit old. Now get ready to answer the questions. You may use your notes to help you answer. 18. What is the lecture mainly about？ 19.
