16:08graduating next June your major is
16:10literature mine is too but I'm just
16:13beginning my work in my major I just
16:16transferred to this University from a
16:17junior college perhaps you could tell me
16:20about the courses you've got to take for
16:22a literature major well for a literature
16:25major you need to take eight courses
16:27three required courses and five
16:29electives first you have to take survey
16:32of world literature Parts one and two
16:35this is really two courses and it'll
16:37take two semesters and it's required for
16:40all literature Majors the other course
16:42required for all literature Majors is
16:44Introduction to literary analysis you
16:47mean if I want to specialize in American
16:49literature I still must take two
16:51semesters of world literature yes
16:54because the two semesters are required
16:56for all literature Majors but but I only
16:59want to study American literature at
17:02least you can take all of your five
17:03elective courses in the area that you

17:0931 what is the woman's status at the
17:24University number
17:2632 what does the man want to learn from

17:41woman number
17:4333 how many total courses must a student
17:47take for a literature
17:57major
18:00number
18:0234 the man will probably take his
18:05elective courses in which
18:18area questions 35 through
18:2238 listen to a conversation between two
18:26friends wasn't that a fascinating
18:28lecture on Dolphins I didn't know that
18:30Dolphins traveled in such large groups
18:33or were able to communicate with other
18:35members of their group with those
18:36whistle-like sounds and they also use
18:39clicks as a sort of
18:41sonar I really couldn't understand that
18:44part of the lecture you could yes the
18:47Dolphins use clicks to identify objects
18:49in the water they can even identify tiny
18:52objects more than 100 met away using
18:55these
18:55clicks scientists believe that a dolphin
18:58May even have a sonar like image in its
19:00brain of a distant object so that it can
19:03identify the object long before the
19:05dolphin can actually see the object so
19:08the Dolphins use these clicks mostly to
19:10identify objects in the water I think so
19:13and they have considerably more ability
19:15to do this than humans do it's hard to
19:18believe that in addition to these soner
19:20clicks dolphins are actually learning
19:22some human language yes I believe that
19:25the lecturer said that some Dolphins had
19:27already learned around 50 human commands
19:29and that those Dolphins were able to
19:31understand not only individual words but
19:33words clustered together in sentences
19:36Dolphins must certainly be amazing
19:38animals to do all of that I'm sure they
19:40are and we're only just beginning to
19:42find out how intelligent they
19:44are number
19:4735 where did the woman learn about
19:57dolphins
