PART IV : SHORT TALK

Choose the best answer to each question.

Questions 1 through 3 refer to the following talk.

(M) Next year, I will be taking biology. However, to be honest, I really don't want to
take biology. I used to enjoy biology, but next year I don't want to take because we
will have to dissect a worm, a frog, and mouse. Frankly, the thought of cutting open a
little frog or a mouse is pretty disgusting to me. I have neve even touched a mouse
before. I don't know if I can de it. I think that students should have the right to refus to
do animal experiments. I think we should be able to watch a video or look at pictures
in a book instead. It is not necessary to kill animals for our studies. Maybe I can
change my class from biology to geology. In geology, we study rocks. I don't mind
cutting open a rock.

Questions 4 through 6 refer to the following talk.

(W) I have been teaching astronomy at a private university for almost 15 years. I have
always wanted to be an astronomer. Astronomers look at the stars and planets through
giant telescopes. Even when I was a child, I used to go outside at night to look at the
stars. I learned the names of the most important stars before I learned how to write.
The university where I work as an astronomy teacher has a giant telescope. It is inside
an observatory at the top of a small mountain near my university. Usually, I go there
on the weekends and watch the stars. Observatories with telescopes need to be in very
quiet dark places like mountains because the lights from the cities can make the stars
very hard to see. I get such a peaceful feeling when 1 look at the night sky.
