Trang 4TAPESCRIPT Part 1:
Hello everyone So I’d like to tell you about some of the challenges of living in space We’ll start with the International SpaceStation – or ISS, as it’s oft en called The ISS has been in space – in orbit around the Earth - since 1998 Over 200 astronauts have lived on board – and one of the biggest challenges for
them is living in microgravity So what happens when you’re living in microgravity 24 hours a day for
months? For a start, it affects your blood circulation On Earth, your blood would naturally be pulled
towards your feet, but in space, it goes to your head And we’ll talk a bit more about the consequences of that later But it also goes to your chest – and that’s why astronauts have to be careful about their blood
pressure Microgravity also affects the minerals stored inside your body Over time, for example the
amount of calcium inside your bones begins to decrease, so the bones become weaker Yes, it’s not much
fun living in space The astronauts have to maintain a very strict exercise programme – they do 2.5 hours
of exercise six days a week If they don’t, what happens is that their muscle begins to waste Some of it
also turns into fat And one final problem that some astronauts experience –they find that when they get back to Earth, they can’t see clearly Scientists aren’t exactly sure why this happens, but it seems that the astronauts’ vision can be permanently aff ected Another challenge with living in the ISS is – you have to take everything you need with you So space agencies like NASA are constantly improving the way they recycle things Water, of course, is a vital resource, and every little bit counts That means that even the
sweat that the astronauts produce is recycled I know that doesn’t sound very nice – but NASA says their
water is purer than anything you’d drink on Earth Now listen and answer questions 36 to 40 Student: So what’s next? Humans are already living in space – in the space station – but now the goal is to live on the moon or Mars For this, we need to make buildings, and the challenges for engineers and architects are even harder It’s incredibly expensive to transport materials into space, so they need to be as light as possible The alternative is to use materials which already exist on the moon or Mars – and this does seem to be the sensible way forward So to make buildings on the moon, for example, we could use rock, and the moon also has plenty of useful minerals These can be made into metal, into brick… and some
engineers are also suggesting they could produce paint So it seems everything we need for a basic
building might already be on the moon Actually there’s one thing that NASA hasn’t managed yet, and
that’s to increase the size of the windows on the ISS They’re very small – and if people were going to
live in buildings on the moon, this is something NASA still has to work on So, even if we manage to create a network of buildings for people to live in on the moon or Mars – and grow food, and be self-sufficient – they would still need mental stimulation, and opportunities to relax and stay in touch with what was happening back on Earth Virtual reality could be the answer Imagine you’re living on the
moon but you could use virtual reality to walk around a museum and see all the exhibits That would be
incredible And by using virtual reality, you could continue your education, by say, studying for a
qualification that might be useful in your current environment, or once you’re back on Earth Now Mars
is a different…

Man: Well, good morning everyone and welcome to this open day at the community garden Our garden
belongs to the local community and, as you’ll see, what we grow here is mostly fruit, and different kinds
of vegetables First, I’ll tell you some background information Well, recently we made an interesting discovery at the garden Before, we didn’t know much about the history of this site We only had a few
documents and records Then we found some ancient implements, like spades and forks, for digging.
They were buried in the earth Experts say these are at least 1000 years old So people have been using this land for growing produce for a long time There are some photographs of these implements in the club house, as well as a diagram of what we think the garden might have looked like, if you want to look later So, why was this location so good for gardening? As you can see, we’re in a slight valley And
storms blow very hard up this valley, which can be a problem But being in a valley, we get good freezing frosts here in winter, which gardeners like because it kills the bugs The great thing, though, is
the stream that runs through the valley, so we can irrigate the gardens even through long, dry summers
Trang 5Now what we do know is that in 1860, gardening stopped here This was a time of rapid development in this area And on that date, the City Infirmary was constructed on this site, so this is where doctors and surgeons worked to take care of the health needs of the growing population Also, many new houses were put up for people who commuted into the city each day to work There was even talk of a new military
camp, although that never happened in the end Then in the 1980s, the old buildings here were removed.
And this land again became a productive garden Today, these gardens produce large quantities of fruit and vegetables Each plot of land is worked by a volunteer member of the garden, and they donate what they grow to families in this neighbourhood who are struggling financially Occasionally we’re approached by local businesses and restaurants wanting to buy our organic produce, but we just don’t have enough We also have a good relationship with the local college In fact, several of the academics there are members of the garden Each week, undergraduates enrolled on the college’s horticulture course have a class here, to learn about their subject first hand And in future the college hopes to hold
workshops here, to help local people establish vegetable gardens at home.

No sooner had we moved into our house than we had the solar panels installed on our roof It’s not that
we were all that interested in converting to sustainable technology by using a clean energy form It
just seemed like a good way to help pay for part of the mortgage The company that sold them to us
promised they’d pay for themselves eventually due to the savings we’d see on our energy bills They also told us that we could even make a profit by selling electricity generated on our house to the national grid But I think they greatly overestimated the kilowatt-hours of electricity we’d be able to
produce And then there’s the maintenance Only once they were fitted did that even cross our minds It’s Murphy’s Law really; as soon as the guarantee runs out something’s sure to go wrong We’ve had to have
repairs done twice this year already and my husband keeps going on about how we’d be able to harness more energy if we had bought more modern panels But that’s technology for you – you can
never keep up with it
Part 4:
Woman: So, Alan, did you see the latest episode of ‘The Sensing Brain’?
Man: Yes, Jolie, it was interesting.
Woman: So, I gather from the reviews I missed it, so you can tell me about it though I'll probably watch
it online
Man: There was this woman who's an expert on perfume making and runs workshops on the subject It
seems humans can improve their sense of smell fairly rapidly with practice Even those who are convinced they've got a terrible one can prove pretty adept if they apply themselves
Woman: I wonder if it's like music If you haven't studied or listened to a lot, you’re hard pushed to spot
the difference between a clarinet and an oboe, but once you've put in some time you can distinguish them effortlessly
Man: Apparently so - even if you haven't done specialist training I learnt a bit about perfumes actually.
There's an amazing range of terms to classify them
Woman: I guess most of us have a restricted vocabulary and struggle to describe scents Whereas experts
have been trained to recognise and name subtle nuances that pass the average person by I remember trying to describe this white musk perfume I liked to a woman in a perfume shop and I was saying I wanted something dark, deep and heavy, but she actually saw the perfume I was after as light, sweet and fluffy I'd imagined the word musk described the exact opposite
Man: According to the programme, one thing people tend to feel pretty certain about is their ability to
spot the difference between a natural and synthetic aroma
Woman:Yeah, synthetic smells are so fake.
Man: Well, they've done tests, and take for example, lime essential oil which is sharply intense The vast
majority of subjects in the lab actually identify it as smelling chemical, while the artificial odour lime oxide is seen as smooth and natural And there's this chemical that has an almond like smell, and is universally seen as natural, apart from by chemists and chefs
Woman:How interesting So, was the programme all about smell then?
Trang 6Man: It was a big focus It also dealt with human and animal brains Way back, there was this scientist
whofound that the brain region in humans that processes odour detection is smaller, relative to total brain volume, than in dogs or rats New findings show the number of neurons, you know nerve cells in the brain, related to smell is remarkably consistent across mammals
Of course, you have to be careful of what you read into measurements and how they’re used Mice have more genes for smelling than humans, so that's seen as a sign of their superiority, but it may be that there isn't a tight relationship between genes and ability
Woman:There are likely to be new studies in the future that tell us more The review I read said there
was some stuff about music and the brain
Man: Yeah, about our ability to pay attention to working or studying while listening to music.
Personally, if I'm trying to study, music either takes me over emotionally or I start to analyse it
Woman: True I like music too much not to pay attention to it, whatever its quality and whatever I'm
doing, unfortunately! But there are those who find it impossible to work without playing music
Man: Different strokes for different folks I know a classically-trained musician who just can't work
without headphones on
Woman: Music's a language, and it's virtually impossible to concentrate on two at the same time without
losing details of one or both If we all went back to paying attention to one thing at a time, our awareness would be much deeper, music included
Man: Some people claim the internet’s changing how our brains work.
Woman: That’s what the next episode's about! With a focus on the human brain in response to new
technology It's essential to be conscious of the fact that we're used to dealing with a constant stream of information After all, that’s what the real world is, as far as our senses are concerned, either staring at a tennis video game or actually on the court playing, the brain does the same amount of work Both activities are providing detailed sensory information Fortunately, the brain doesn't bother to process absolutely everything that comes in, it filters things out, and uses a sort of 'best guess' of what's important It's already well adapted to prevent information overload, so it's unlikely the internet would cause such a thing
Man: I do feel panicked by the amount of information out there sometimes Always running just to stand
still
