You will hear a talk by a meteorologist about weather forecasting. Listen and fill in each blank with NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS (10 points) Early methods - Almanacs connected the weather with the position of different 1.___planets___ at particular times. Invention of weather instruments - A hygrometer showed levels of 2.___humidity___ (N.Cusa, 1450)
2 - Temperature variations first measured by a thermometer containing 3___water___ (G. Galilei, 1593) Transmitting weather information - The use of the 4.___electric telegraph___ allowed information to be passed around the world - Daily 5.___weather maps___ were produced by the French from 1863 TRANSCRIPT I work for the National Weather Service and as part of your course on weather patterns, I've been asked to talk to you about how we predict the weather. We're so used to switching on our TVs and getting an up-to- date weather forecast at any time of day or night that we probably forget that this level of sophistication has only been achieved in the last few decades and weather forecasting is actually an ancient art. So I want to start by looking back into history. The earliest weather forecasts appeared in the 1500s in almanacs, which were lists of information produced every year. Their predictions relied heavily on making links between the weather and where the planets were in the sky on certain days. (1) In addition, predictions were often based on information like if the fourth night after a new moon was clear, good weather was expected to follow. But once basic weather instruments were invented, things slowly started to change. In the mid-fifteenth century, a man called Nicholas Cusa, a German mathematician, designed a hygrometer which told people how much humidity there was in the air. (2) To do this, Cusa put some sheep's wool on a set of scales and then monitored the change in the wool's weight according to the air conditions. A piece of equipment we all know and use is the thermometer. Changes in temperature couldn't really be measured until the Italian Galileo Galilei invented his thermometer in 1593. It wasn't like a modern-day thermometer because it had water inside it instead of mercury. (3) In fact, it wasn't until 1714 that Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer. In 1643 another Italian called Evangelista Torricelli invented the first barometer which measured atmospheric pressure. This was another big step forward in more accurate weather predicting. As time went on, during the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, all these meteorological instruments were improved and developed and people in different countries began to record measurements relating to their local weather. However, in those days it was very difficult to send records from one part of the world to another so it wasn't possible for them to share their information until the electric telegraph became more widespread. (4) This meant that weather observations could be sent on a regular basis to and from different countries. By the 1860s, therefore, weather forecasts were becoming more common and accurate because they were based on observations taken at the same time over a wide area. In 1863, France started publishing weather maps
3 each day. (5) This hadn't been done before, and other nations soon followed. So that was the start of national weather forecast … II. You will listen to a report on the color pink. Write the letter T (True), F (False) or NG (Not Given) in the numbered boxes (10 points) 6. During the course of history, pink had unanimously been associated with females. F 7. The fact that the color pink gained popularity had certain political references. T 8. The main character in “Think Pink” is based on a manual labourer. F 9. Female blue-collar workers switched to wearing pink after it had been publicized. NG 10. While traditional gender roles were amplified in pink’s onset, their notion in modern days is reversed. T TRANSCRIPT In 1927, Time magazine took a survey of all the major department stores across the country they wanted to know which colors they associated with girls in their clothing lines. The answers came back pretty mixed (6); there's also a catalogue in 1918 that suggests that little girls should all wear blue because it's a delicate and dainty color. That's Jennifer Wright, she's an author and often writes about history and fashion for “Act”. It was only after the war that pink got the symbolic association that we have today. In 1953, Dwight Eisenhower - the general who won World War Two becomes president and this actually turns out to be a pretty important moment in the history of pink; it was it's inauguration (7). Mamie Eisenhower came out in this enormous rhinestone studded pink ball gown the likes of which you never would have seen during the war when women were wearing much simpler styles. Mamie Eisenhower loved the color pink and she was known for it . She thought that the pink really brought out her complexion she'd really pretty blue eyes it was a nice contrast in fact a quick search of newspaper headlines mentioning Mamie Eisenhower also referenced the color pink pretty frequently, and it wasn't just called pink, it was called Mamie pink. She went around giving quotes like “Ike runs the country, I turn the pork chops”, but yeah it was a very arbitrary decision that she just loved pink and everybody else decided OK this is the color that ladylike women wear. There's a great sign in “Funny Face” called “Think Pink”. Clearly, the lady editor of the magazine, who is very much based off of Diana Freeland sings about how women in America today have got to “think pink” (8) don't get that great line up where she says “banish the black, burn the blue” which are two colors that woman would have been seeing a lot of during the warriors around this time pink became a popular color not only in just women's clothing but also in the home as a bridal blush new campaign pink camera with an exciting new fragrance sealed in pink pearl foil. This is something a lot of women like by the way it wasn't seen as a terribly oppressive thing but there were definitely women like Diana Freeland who didn't really want to revert to those traditional rules .
4 It was at this point where you start to see the color pink representing women real and fictional who were anything but traditional. The champion race car driver Donna Maemims is a really good example of this. She had a pink uniform and a pink helmet and a pink race car there's the pink ladies in “Grease”, and “The Plastics” in Mean Girls - the girls who are incredibly canny and kind of terrifying rightly explained: ohh Wednesdays we wear pink! There's a great cover of Hillary Clinton on the cover of People magazine wearing a bright pink jacket and the caption next to it “That's how we need to break the highest hardest glass ceiling as women” so she's pretty much doing the opposite of what maybe Eisenhower wanted to do (10). This isn't just about the color pink. It's about how it's used to define a person's personality and what we think they're capable of. She still wants to show people that really I'm just a girl, just like you. Part 3.
