FIRST CHALLENGE Read and listen carefully to the following explanation. While listening, fill in the blanks. Then, answer the questions. Good morning, students. Hmm, have you ever heard about ‘Cire Perdue’ or ‘Lost Wax’? Well, let me axplain. ‘Cire Perdue’ which is the French words for ‘lost wax’is a process of wax casting used in making metal sculptures. When a model is coated with wax, the solidified wax is encased in a two-layer mold of plaster or clay. It is then melted or otherwise removed from the mold, and the metal is poured into the space where the wax had been. Oh, I almost forgot, after cooling, the mold is broken to free the metal object. This ancient method is used to produce sculpture, jewelry, and utilitarian products, such as dentures. Do you understand? Not yet? Okay, how about going to the library to find more information about ‘Lost Wax’? See you and good luck Tape script Look Ahead 3 11 C. THIRD CHALLENGE Read and listen carefully to the following explanation. While listening, fill in the blanks. Then, answer the questions. Making Paper from Woodchips Do you have any paper in your bag? It may seem like a silly question but do you know how to make paper? What is paper made of ? Right. And how about ‘wood chipping’? Have you ever heard about it? Well, wood chipping is a process used to obtain pulp and paper products from forest trees. First of all, the tops and branches of the trees are cut out and then the logs are taken to the mill. At the mill, the bark of the logs is removed and the logs are taken to a chipper which cuts them into small pieces called woodchips. The woodchips are then screened to remove dirt and other impurities. Hmm…, at this stage they are either exported in this form or changed into the pulp by chemicals and heat. Oh, I almost forgot, the pulp is then bleached and the water content is removed. Finally, the pulp is rolled out to make paper. Considering the complexity of making paper, let’s appreciate any paper on our hands. Use it more effectively. Thank you for listening. Bye. Unit 3 Getting Started B. ACTIVE LISTENING Listen to the following dialog. While listening, fill in the blanks. Then, answer the questions. Viva : Dien, do you think that computers are necessary for high school students? Andien : Sure, why not? Viva : I think computer lessons do not promote physical activity. You know why? Well, there are students who are caught up in a computer and they forget about lunch, their homework, or even want to skip after-school activities. Andien : Yeah, I heard about that too. Once, I saw a student who was forced to leave the computer because he was so absorbed in computer games. Viva : See what I mean? Besides, this problem will become even worse as more classroom works center around a computer. And one more thing, computers make the users unsociable. Andien : Do they? How come? Tape script Look Ahead 3 12 Viva : The prolonged exposure to computers makes the users lazy to socialize with other people. They find their world more enjoyable in computers, since they are inanimate objects. This makes them abusive to other people. Andien : You know, I can’t deny the facts that computers help us a lot in the information age. I can’t imagine what this world would be if there were no computers. How could I handle so much work in my office? How could the police regulate the traffic lights without the help of computers? How would we communicate with each other in different places without computers? Viva : You’re right. I don’t object to that. Andien : To me, computers have more advantages than disadvantages. B. YOUR TURN Listen to the following monolog. While listening, complete the missing words with the words you hear. Then, answer the questions. Hacking: Pro and Contra? Do you know what a hacker is? Well, a hacker is a person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems on computers and they like to stretch the capability of the systems. And you know what, the activities they do in the computers are called ‘hacking’. So, what’s the problem with ‘hacking and its hackers’? Well, the problem is whether ‘hacking and its hackers’ is legal or illegal? What I mean is that people in the world have many different views about hacking and the hackers. Some of them take sides, but many object. To get back to what I was saying previously, let us see the positive points of a hacker, shall we? Although in most places breaking into computer systems is considered illegal, I believe that hackers don’t do anything illegal because they only want to know and try the systems. I dare to say that a hacker likes finding the strengths and the weaknesses of a computer system. They feel proud if they can find the weaknesses. So I don’t really see the crimes in this case. In addition, these hackers sometimes help the police catch the ‘white collar criminals’, such as bank robbers, money launderers, credit card forgers. For example, in 2000, the U.S. hackers caught some Singaporean hackers who made ‘Virus Love’ to break up the programs of the U.S. National Security system. Nevertheless, those who object to the good points of a hacker say that hacking is a crime. The reason is that some hackers use their brilliant skills to break into banks and other vital institutions where they can get money, destroy information, and the worst thing is they can get secret information and sell it to another country. This is a treachery. Take for example, in 1994, The U.S. government broke a conspiracy of computer hackers out of Majorca, Spain. These hackers were responsible for accessing and eliminating 190,000 telephone credit card numbers over computer bulletin boards in America and Europe. Seeing this fact, I don’t blame those who think negatively about hackers. To put the whole thing in a nut shell, I personally think that hackers are not bad people with their brilliant skills. However, they could be bad because of money orientation to get the wealth. That’s just the point. Tape script Look Ahead 3 13 Get It Right B. TRY THIS Listen to the following dialog.

Jane : Well, apparently they’ve found a cure for tooth decay. Jim : Really? I can’t believe that’s possible. Jane : Yes, it says here we all eat far too much sugar and that’s what causes a toothache. Jim : I knew that. Jane : It is also stated that there is bacteria that converts sugar into acids and they attack the teeth and make holes in them. However, now they’ve found a vaccine to attack the bacteria. They did tests on monkeys and it’s completely safe. Jim : That’s good news. How do you get the vaccine? Jane : It isn’t on the market yet, but when it is, you’ll get it from…. Oh, I don’t think the article tells us the information about that. I suppose you’ll get it from your dentist. Anyway, they are going to give it to kids when they are three. Jim : What a clever idea.
