CONEVERSATION 1

-Tonight, we have a very special guest, Mrs. Ana Sanchez is a threetime Olympic champion
and author of the new book To the , Sanchez, thank you for joining us.
-Thank you for having me.
- Let’s start with your book. What does the title to the Edge mean?What are you referring to?
-The book is about how science and technology has helped push humans to the edge of
their physical abilities. I argue that in the past 20 years we have had the best athletes the
world has ever seen. But is this a fair comparison?How do you know how, say, a football
player from 50 years ago would compare to one today?-Well, you are right.
-That comparison would be perhaps impossible to make. But thepoint is more about our
knowledge today of human biochemistry,nutrition and mechanics. I believe that while our b
odies have notchanged in thousands of years, what has changed is the scientificknowledge.
This has allowed athletes to push the limits of whatwas previously thought possible.
-That’s interesting. Please tell us more about these perceived limits.
-The world has seen sports records being broken. That could only be broken with the aid of
technology, whether this be the speedof a tennis serve or the fastest time in 100 meter dash
or 200 meter swimming race.
-ls there any concern that technology is giving some athletes anunfair advantage over
others?
-That is an interesting question and one that has to be considered very carefully. Skis ,for
example, went from being made of wood to a metal alloy, which allows for better control
and faster is no stopping technological progress. But as I said, each sit-uation
should be considered carefully on a case by case basis.
Questions one to four are based on the conversation you have just heard.

1. What do we learn about Anna Sanchez?

2. What is the woman's book mainly about?

3. What has changed in the past thousands of years?

4. What is the man's concern about the use of technology in sportscompetitions?

-l’ve worked in international trade all my life. My father did so tobefore me. So I guess you
could say it runs in the family.
-What products have you worked with?

-All sorts, really. l've imported textiles, machinery, toys, solar panels, all kinds of
the years, trends in demand comeand go. So what needs to be very flexible to
succeed in this indus-try?
-I see. What goods are you trading now?
-I now import furniture from China into Italy and foods from Italyinto China. I even use the
same container. It’s a very efficient wayof conducting trade.
-The same container. You mean you own a 40 foot cargo container?-Yeah, that’s right. I
have a warehouse in Genoa, Italy, and another in Shanghai. I source mid century modern
furniture from different factories in China. It’s a very good value for money, I collect it allin
my warehouse and then dispatch it to my other warehouse inItaly over there. I do the same,
but with Italian foods instead offurniture, things like pasta, cheese, wine, chocolate. And I
send allthat to my warehouse in China in the same freight container I usefor the furniture.
-So I presume you sell both lines of products wholesale in each re-spective country?
-Of course, I possess a network of clients and partners in bothcountries. That’s the main
benefit of having done this for So long.I’ve made great business contacts over time.
-How many times do you ship?
-I did 12 shipments last year, 18 this year, and I hope to grow toaround 25 next year. That’s
both ways. There and back for authentic Italian food in China is growing
rapidly. And similarly, sales of affordable, yet stylish wooden furniture are also increasing in
Italy. Furniture is marginally more profitable, mostlybecause it enjoys lower customs duties.
Questions five to eight are based on the conversation you havejust heard.

5. What does the woman think is required to be successful in theinternational trade?

6. What does the woman say is special about her way of doingchange?

7. What does the woman have in both Italy and China?

8. What does the woman say makes furniture marginally more

LECTURE 1

Qualities of a relationship such as openness, compassion and mental stimulation are of
concern to most of us regardless of sex,but- judging from the questionnaire response-they
are more important to women than to men. Asked to consider the ingredients of close
friendship, women rated these qualities above all others. Men assigned a lower priority
to them in favor of similarity in interests, selected by 77 percent of men, and responsivenes
in a crisis, chosen by 61 percent of male respondents. Mental stimulation, ranked third in
popularity by men as well as women, was the only area of overlap. Among men, only 28
percent named open-ness as an importan quality; caring was picked by just 23 per-cent. It
is evident by their selections that when women speak of close friendships, they are referring
to emotional factors, whilemen emphasize the pleasure they find in a friend’s company. That
is, when a man speaks of

with- a teammate, a fellow hobbyist, adrinking buddy. These activities are the fabric of the
friendship;itis a relationship in which similarity in interests is the keybond. This factor
was a consideration of less than 11 percent of women.
Women opt for a warm, emotional atmosphere where communication flows freely; activity is
mere background. Lastly, men, aswe have seen, have serious questions about each other’s
s this is why they placed such strong emphasis on responsiveness in a crisis.
Someone I can call on for help, Women, as their testimonies indi-cate, are generally more
secure with each other and consequently are more likely to treat this issue lightly. In
follow-up interviewsthis was confirmed numerous times as woman after woman indicated
that
more than a few relationships havebeen shattered because of cutthroat competition and
feelings of betrayal. This applies to both men and women, but unequally. Incomparison,
nearly twice as many men complained about theseissues as women. Further, while
competition and betrayal are the main thorns to female friendship, men are plagued in
almostequal amounts by two additional issues, lack of frankness and a fear of appearing
unmanly. Obviously, for a man, a good friend- ship is hard to find.
Question 16 to 18. Based on the recording you have just heard

16. What quality do men value most concerning friendship according to a questionnaire
response?
17. What do women refer to when speaking of close friendships?

18. What may threaten a friendship for both men and women?

LECTURE 2

Recording to the partial skeletons of more than 20 dinosaurs andthe scattered bones of
about 300 more have been discovered in Utah and Colorado. At what is now theDinosaur
National Monu-ment. Many of the best specimens may be seen today at museumsof
natural history in the largest cities of the United States and Canada. This dinosaur pit is
the largest and best preserved deposit of dinosaurs known today. Many people get the idea
from themassive bones and the pit bull that some disaster, such as a volcanic explosion or a
sudden flood, killed a whole herd of dinosaursin this area. This could have happened, but it
probably did main reasons for thinking otherwise are the scattered bonesand the
thickness of the other deposits where the ani-mals were thought to have died
together, the skeletons were usually complete and often all the bones were in their proper
d pieces of fossil bones have been found here. These fragments got their
smooth round shape, though, rolling along thestream a mass killing, the bones
would have been lefton the stream or lake bottom together at the same level. But in this
deposit, the bones occur throughout a zone of sandstone about 12 feet thick. The mixture
of swamp dwellers and dry landtypes also seems to indicate that the deposit is a mixture
from dif-ferent places. The pit area is a large dinosaur graveyard, not a place where they
died. Most of the remains probably floated downon eastward flowing river until they were
left on a shallow sandbar. Some of them may have come from far away dry land areas to
