Part C: TALKS

39-42 A talk by a university official
As a result of rising university costs, many students are finding it necessary to take on part-time jobs. To make finding those jobs easier, the placement services put together a listing of what is available locally. For some students these part-time jobs could lead to full-time work after graduation as they may offer experience in their own fields, be that finance, marketing, or even management. For example, National Savings Bank offers work on a half time basis: that s twenty hours a week. Retail stores and restaurants have positions requiring fewer hours, even less time as expected of those providing child care. We have a number of families registered with us who were looking for baby sitters for as few as four hours a week. For students who prefer outdoor work, there are seasonal positions right on campus working with the gardening and landscaping teams. These often require the most time and are the least flexible in terms of scheduling. To see a complete list of these and other available jobs, including the salary offered and the hours required, stop by our office. Oh, and be sure to bring a resume with you. When you find something that interests you, we ll put you in touch with the person offering it. In addition, our counselors will give you hints about successful interviewing.
39. What is the purpose of the talk?
40. What should students bring with them to the office?
41. What will the counselors at the office help students do?
42. What do all of the jobs have in common?

43-46 A talk about American art history.

In this century photograph have been really important for teaching our history. I ll show you what I mean at the moment with some photographs taken by Peter and Paul Julie. The work of these two photographers has been a very useful source for studying the arts produced in the United States from 1896 to the present. Peter and Paul Julie were not artists but they were a regular part of the New York art theme. They took over a hundred thousand photographs which document the lives and work of thousands of artists. Peter Julie is known as a pioneer in this field of art photography. Georgia O keeffe and other famous artists sought him out to take pictures of their work. His specialty was photographing paintings. His son Paul photographed sculptures. Some of their most important photos are the ones of the works of art that have since been destroyed. One example is a photo that we ll look at today. Would someone give the lights please? Thanks. This slide is from a photograph of a painting by Edward Hopper called Corn Belt City. The painting was exhibited only two or three times before it was destroyed in a fire. Without the Julie photograph, no visual record of the work would exist. Although the Julie s mostly photographed the work of painters and sculptors, they also occasionally photographed architectural subjects. They did quite a few photos of buildings by John Russell Pope. And we are going to look one of those next.
43. What does the professor mainly discuss?
44. What did Peter Julie do for Georgia O keeffe?
45. According to the professor, what was the specialty of Peter Julie s son Paul?
