Part 2 Passage
If you ask some people "How did you learn English so well" you may get a surprising answer:
"In my sleep!
" These are people who have taken part in one of the recent experiments to testmethods, which are now being tried in several countries, and with several subjects, of which English is only one.
Specialists say that this sleep-study method speeds language learning tremendously. They say that the average person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period during the day and this does not affect his rest in any way. A word of warning, however:
sleep teaching will only hammer into* your head what you have studied while you are awake.
In one experiment, ten lessons were broadcast over the radio at intervals* of a fortnight. Each lesson lasted twelve hours -- from 8 . to 8 . The first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary were given with the student awake. At 11 ., a soothing* lullaby* was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next three hours the radio whispered the lesson again into his sleeping ears. At 2 . a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes of revision. Then he was lulled* back to rest again while the radio purred on. At 5 o'clock his sleep ended and he had to go through the lesson again for three hours before his hard-earned breakfast.
Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.
1-4:

News Item 1
In many developing countries, weather reports remain trapped in the capital. National weather services have the information, but no way to get it to farmers andother people in rural communities.
This is the job of an international project called RANET--Rural Communications using Radio and the Internet. RANET works with national weather services to improve their reach.
The project develops networks of satellite receiver systems, community radio stations and other technologies. Communities often are provided with some equipment, but the systems are locally owned and supported. RANET is working to improve communications in countries with limited power supplies.

NewsItem2
A government report says climate change is already affecting American agriculture. The news report is from the Climate Change Science Program, which brings together the research efforts of thirteen federal agencies.
Much of the East and South now gets more rain than a century ago. But the report says there is some evidence of increased drought conditions in the West and Southwest. Western states have less snow and ice on the mountains and earlier melting in the spring.
Grain and oilseed crops are likely to develop faster with increased carbon dioxide the atmosphereBut higher temperatures will increase the risk of crop failures. Also, horticultural crops such as tomatoes, onions and fruit are more easily affected by climate change than grain and oilseed crops.
The Department of Agriculture was the lead agency for the new report.
