3. According to the reading, university's newspapers is planning to make a new section covering off-campus scholarship information.
The man thinks it is a good idea for two reasons.
First, he says that students are too busy to look for off-campus scholarship information. To be specific, most information related to these types of scholarship is posted on individual organization's websites. So students don't have time to visit every web site.
Second, he says that the section will provide a wide range of scholarships. To be specific, the university only offers a scholarship based on grades. So the newspapers can provide students with many scholarships that have diverse criteria for selecting a student.
For these reasons, the man believes this policy is a good thing.
4. According to the reading, false signaling is the concept that predators use to capture its prey by imitating signals of other organisms.
The professor explains this concept by giving two examples.
First, the professor describes the katydid. One species of the katydid can imitate a mating call of the cicada. When these predators hear male cicada beat its wings for mating, they make a reply of female cicada. When male cicada is attracted to the katydid, he is eaten.
Second, the professor describes the death odder. These predators bury most of their body beneath the soil. And only tail and head are exposed on the surface of the ground. They move their tails, which is like the movement of the worm. When preys come close to them, they eat the preys.
These two examples demonstrate false signaling.
5. The woman's problem is that the recital she has been planning may not be able to be filled with people.
The woman and the man suggest two possible solutions. The first suggestion is to hand out flyers to students on campus. The second suggestion is to change the venue to smaller spaces.
I think the first suggestion is better for her. Giving flyers to students will have a positive effect on attendance. Students who like music are likely to go to the recital when they receive flyers. Also if she alters the place to smaller place that is not equipped with good acoustic devices, invited musicians are not going to want to perform there.
For these reasons, I would suggest the first option for her.
6. The professor explains two different approaches to painting.
First, the professor describes the realism. It focuses on making the reflection of the reality in the painting. Painters who favored this approach used detailed brushstroke and the subjects of the painting were ordinary objects and people. For example, Da vinchi used this approach to make the portrait called the Mona Lisa. It is famous for its lifelike quality.
Second, the professor describes the surrealism. It centers on capturing the subconscious power and the images of this type of paintings are wild. For example, the spanish painter dali produced the image of melting clocks by getting an inspiration from the dream. The abstract characteristic of the painting means the recollection of the dream.
These two artists demonstrate two suggested approaches.
