- 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.

The document discusses tension springs, which are natural springs that form when certain geological conditions are present underground. Specifically, there must be a sloped layer of porous rock called an aquifer that allows water to flow through it. There also must be layers above and below the aquifer made of non-porous rock or clay called aquicludes that block the flow of water and prevent it from draining out of the aquifer. When it rains, water enters the aquifer and collects at the low end, creating pressure. If there are cracks in the rock running from the aquifer to the surface, the pressure can force the water up through the cracks, causing it to constantly flow out of tension springs located on the land above

Full Abstract: https://apha.confex.com/apha/143am/webprogram/Paper335111.html
Nawaz Sharif served two non-consecutive terms as Prime Minister of Pakistan from 1990-1993 and 1996-1999. During his terms, he focused on improving Pakistan's infrastructure and promoting industrialization to boost the economy and solve unemployment. Some of the major projects and policies he introduced included privatization initiatives, expanding industries like shipping and telecommunications, and large development projects such as the Ghazi Barotha Hydro Power Project and Gwadar Port. However, his popularity declined due to issues like an unpaid housing loan scandal and rising tensions with the military that ultimately led to his government being dismissed in 1999.

However, geologists also need evidence like fossils to date the strata since flooding did not occur continuously. The man then asks what other evidence is used, and the woman replies that fossils are used since their age can determine the age of the surrounding rock.

Callers should think carefully about what questions to ask to learn the whole truth from references.

Questions 31-34 Listen to a conversation between two students in the computer center.
Hi, Tom. How’s your chemistry paper going?
It’s coming along. But I’ve been staring at this computer screen for hours and my
eyes hurt.
Yeah, doing that can make your eyes feel really dry and tired. You should take a
break.
I can’t. I have to get this paper written. It’s due tomorrow.
You know, I read about computers and eye problems recently. The article says that
they are usually caused by not blinking your eyes enough.
Blinking? I thought I just needed new glasses.
Nay. When you blink, the movement of closing and opening your eyes, even thought
it happens really fast, helps moisten your eyes. It’s the lack of moisture that causes the
problem.
Oh, that makes sense. But what does it have to do with the computer?
People who use computers tend to stare at the monitor and blink less often than they
normally would. That leads to dry irritated eyes.
Well, that certainly helped mine feel now. They really hurt.
The article I read about office workers found that the workers averaged 22 blinks a
minute when relax, but just 7 a minute while looking at text on a computer screen.
Wow, that’s quite a difference.
They also kept their eyes open wider, which means that moisture evaporated more
quickly.
I wonder if using some kind of eye drops would make them feel better.
That might help. But the best prescription is to take a break and rest your eyes.
Ok. Let’s go get some coffee. I can finish this later tonight.

Questions 35-38 Listen to a conversation between two friends.
Did you know it was going to rain today?
Absolutely not, this comes as a total shock at me, especially since the paper said
mostly sunny.
Well, I guess the paper must’ve meant “mostly sunny somewhere else”. But since
we’ve come all this way, why don’t we just move the blanket under that tree.
That’s a good idea. It looks like it’s still dry there, so, as long as it doesn’t start to
come down any harder.
You didn’t happen to bring a spare blanket, did you? Because this one is all wet now.
No. But I do have some folding stools in the car. Will they do?
They will be just fine. I’m really hungry, so while you are there, how about bring out
the food?
I thought you were bringing the food.
This is unbelievable! If I weren’t so hungry, this would be really funny. So what
now?
What’s the name of that restaurant you like so much again?

Questions 39-42 Listen to a talk given by a biology teacher.
I want to talk today about some studies that seem to indicate that there’s been a
startling worldwide decline in the number of amphibians such as fogs, toads and
salamanders. There is little doubt that one reason why the number of amphibians is
declining is that their habitats have been destroyed. When developers fill in ponds and
marshes to build houses, amphibians can’t just move somewhere else. They need
water to lay their eggs in. Another problem is the growing fish industry. A narrow rage
of popular edible fish such as carp has been introduced to many lakes and ponds all over
the world. Raising and selling these fish can be profitable, but the fish eat the eggs and
the offspring of amphibians that were already living in the lakes and ponds. Other
factors that could be contributing to the decline include acid rain and the spread of
pesticide residues. Many pesticides that farmers applied to their crops are eventually
washed away by the rain and end up in ponds or other bodies of water where amphibians
live. Amphibians are especially vulnerable to pesticides dissolved in the water
because of their moist skins. Water can pass through an amphibian’s skin allowing
toxins dissolved in the water to enter the amphibian’s body.
39. What does the speaker mainly discuss?
40. According to the speaker, how do developers contribute to the change in the
amphibian population?
41. According to the speaker, how do some pesticides get into ponds?

42. According to the speaker, why do pesticides pose a threat to amphibians?
Questions 43-46 Listen to a citizen at a town meeting.
My name is Sally Porter. You asked for people to speak out who are against the
demolishing the old Kensington Hotel to put up a new shopping mall. And I am one of
those people. I realize the Kensington is vacant right now and not generating any
revenue for the town. I also admit that the hotel’s gotten a bit dilapidated and
unsightly. But the issue is bigger than that. If we destroy the hotel, we’ll be destroying
an important piece of this town’s history. The town charter was signed there over two
hundred years ago and many well-known and important people have stayed there over
the years, including the United States’ president. It wouldn’t be all that difficult to fix up
the hotel either. In fact, if we could get some people from around town to volunteer some
of their skills and time, we wouldn’t have to use any of the town’s money or ask the state
for money. Once the hotel’s refurbished, it could start to attract people to our town
again. One last reason to keep the Kensington: We’ve already got one shopping mall
and that’s plenty. Well, I hope you take what I said into consideration. Thanks for
listening.
43. Why is the speaker addressing the town meeting?
44. According to the woman, who has stayed at the Kensington Hotel?
45. What does the woman suggest as a way to refurbish the Kensington Hotel?
46. What does the woman imply might be an advantage of refurbishing the Kensington
Hotel?
Questions 47-50 Listen to part of a lecture from an American civilization course.
In the late 1400s, when Christopher Columbus returned to Spain from the western
hemisphere, he brought with him a sample of what the native Americans called maze, or
as we call it more often today, corn. The corn that Columbus introduced to Europe was
the distant descendent of a grass native to Mexico. The peoples of the Americas
probably started to domesticate this grass as early as 5000 BC. After about a thousand
years, they had developed a highly productive strands of corn which later became the
basis for the great pre-Columbian civilizations. Figuratively speaking, both the city of the
Incas and the temples of the Mayas were built on corn.
Domesticated corn and the people who cultivated it developed together. Without
humans to care for it, domesticated corn could not survive. The kernels are crowded to
gather beneath the strong, protective husk and silk. And the young corn shoot is not
strong enough break through the husk on its own. If people did not strip away the husk
and plant individual kernels, the corn would die out.
47. What is the main topic of the talk?
48. Where was corn probably first cultivated?
49. What does the speaker imply about the Mayan and Incan civilizations?
50. Why would corn die out without human intervention?
