(woman) I haven't seen you here for a couple weeks. Have you stopped eating or something? (man) No. Does it look like I've stopped eating? I've been spending a lot of time in the library. (woman) Working on a paper? (man) I wish I was working on a paper! I'm working on three different papers: anthropology, English lit., and history. (woman) Wow, that is a lot of work. (man) Yeah, and what's frustrating is that I'm studying the nineteenth century British Empire in all three classes, but I can't just write a single paper for all three. (woman) Why not? (man) The professors won't let me. Even if I make it three times as long as the suggested length. (woman) That's too bad. Could you write your papers on three aspects of one topic? (man) Hmmm. What do you mean? Do you have something in mind? (woman) Well, let's see. Hmm... Maybe you could do something with Romanticism, like, ohh... write your anthropology paper on the cultural basis of Romanticism, and, uh, your history paper on the influence of the Romantic poets on British foreign policy, and, OK, and your English paper on an analysis of some Romantic poems. (man) Hey, that's not a bad idea! I've already started the research for one of the papers, so I can use that. What can I do to repay you? (woman) You want to write up my chemistry lab for me? (man) I'd love to, but I've never taken chemistry, so I'm not sure you'd like the results. (woman) Oh well, no thanks necessary then. Have a good weekend, and try to get out of the library and get some sleep. You have big circles under your eyes. (man) OK, I'll try. See you later.【缺少答案,请补充】
(man) Hey, Michelle. Look what I just found. Right here in the sand. (woman) A piece of wood? Oh. Driftwood. Interesting shape... Almost like some sort of modern sculpture. (man) Yeah. And feel how smooth it is. (woman) Hmm. Must've been in the water a long time. It could've been drifting in the ocean currents for months, or even years. (man) In the currents? Doesn't the wind just blow things around out there? (woman) Well, sure. But the currents are always moving, too. Almost like rivers, but underwater rivers, flowing through the ocean. (man) So how do they find out where these currents go? Stick a message in a bottle and throw it in the water? (woman) Don't laugh. In fact, I was reading in a science magazine that oceanographers have released huge numbers of bottles into the ocean over the years. They wanted to map out where the currents would carry them. (man) Say, I'll bet — after they found out where all those bottles ended up — they could enter all that data into a computer and make a pretty detailed model to...to show where the currents go. (woman) In fact, they did. And they also found a neat way to test that model. There was a freighter carrying sneakers from a factory in Asia. It was caught in a big storm and thousands of pairs of sneakers got dumped in the Pacific Ocean. (man) Really? What a waste! (woman) Yeah. Turns out, though, that hundreds of these shoes started washing up on beaches somewhere near Seattle, just about where the computer models had predicted the currents would carry them. (man) Gee. You mean all that stuff I find on the beaches might be part of some big scientific experiment? I thought it was all just trash!【缺少答案,请补充】
