- Many publishers feared that radio news would displace newspapers entirely by providing quick news updates. However, radio was found to actually stimulate interest in stories and encourage people to buy newspapers for more details. So radio and print supported each other rather than acting as substitutes. - Television was a different case, as its rise caused movie attendance to drop significantly as people chose to stay home to watch TV instead of going to theaters. Sports games on TV also led to emptier stadiums as fans watched from home.

have you made any plans to go away during semester break? I've been thinking of skiing.
I really haven't had time to think about my vacation. I've been concentrating on getting

Well. It would be mice to get away from this cold weather and just lie ine the sun and
relax after working so hard.

Hello, Jim. I haven't seen you in a while.
What seem to be the problem?
Actually I'm a little embarrassed about coming here. I feel fine right now. but you know
how much stuff is going around. Andy way every year around the holidays like
clockwork I come down with something.
So you're interested in prevention. What symptoms do you usually get?
You know, cough, fever, runny nose, my head and bones ache, chills even. I'm usually
miserable for a week and it ends up ruining my holidays.
Sounds like a typical flu to me. As you said, lots of people have it influence often strikes
when people are over tried stressed out and not eating nutritious food. And also you
increase your exposure to a virus when you're in big crowds where lots of people are
coughing and sneezing.
I certainly spend a lot time in department stores around the holidays buying gifts for
people.
Yes. And so you increase your exposure to airborne viruses just when your body's
resistance is already low from all the running around you do.
So what can I do to ward off the flu?
Actually it's fairly simple. Get a lot of rest, eat well. That way your immune system will
be boosted. And you'll be more able to fight off illness.
All these things make sense. But one more question. Aren't I bound to get sick anyway if
there's an outbreak in the dorm?
Oh, you didn't mention you lived in the dormitory. In that case I'd also suggest you get
immunized. The vaccine available prevents' the three main types of influenza. Why don't
you go to the university health center. The shots are free there.
I'll do it right away. It will be nice to feel well during. The holidays for once.

39 to 42 A lecture in a architectural design course.
Dozens of valuable paintings and frescoes were badly damaged today when rain water
poured through a roof at the state museum. As freak rainstorms lashed in the central and
southern sections of the state, part of the museum's roof which was scheduled to be
repaired collapsed and water cascaded into two storerooms. The museum director said
that several well known pieces, including oils, watercolors and frescoes, had been

added that inspection for damages has not been completed and therefore she could not
estimate costs of the repair and replacement.

welcome to the New Bedford institute's, series of lectures on the mysteries of the sea.
You may have noticed the drawing on the cover of the program for today's presentation.
It depicts a sea creature that scientists have been interested in for many years. It is said
that in the 19th century a group of fishermen were surprised by seeing a huge squid that
they said was as big as a house and had enormous tentacles. The fishermen were
frightened out of their wits according to reports from that time. The creature sank back
into the ocean and was never seen again. Marine biologists believed that this species of
giant squid called archituth is still exits. And is comes to represent how little we know
about sea creatures. Compared with what we know about the animals on the land. We do
know that there are many more different kinds of marine species than there are land
species. But we just don't have the technology yet to do sustained research. Even short
unmanned trips are so hard to accomplish. In fact researching in the deep oceans has been
compared to flying an airplane overland throwing down a net and seeing what you get. In
other words it's very hard to picture the whole situation when that's the way you have to
get your samples. Most of what is known about deep sea creatures, which as I said is
actually very little, comes from ocean beds that dried up long ago. We're fortunate to
have a few samples of these fossil remains on display on the second floor. We'll take a
look at them after a while.
43. Why were the fishermen frightened of the squid?
44. What does the giant squid symbolize to biologists?
45. What does the airplane example illustrate about the deep sea research?
46. Where has most of the information about rare sea creatures been found?

With the introduction of radio, newspaper publishers wondered how broadcasting would
affect them. Many feared that radio as a quick and easy means of keeping people
informed would displace the newspaper industry altogether.
Others hoped that the brief newscast heard on the air would stimulate listeners interested
in the story so they'd buy the paper to get more information. This second idea turned out
to be closer to the truth. Radio & print were not substitutes for each other but actually
supported each other. You see the relation ship between different media is not always one
of displacement but can be one of reinforcement. However this is not always the case.
Take television & motion pictures for example, with the popularization of TV, the motion
picture industry suffered greatly. Movie attendance dropped when audience members
