W: What does the term “alternativeenergy source” mean?

W: Is the threat of running out ofpetroleum real?
M: It has taken thousands of years tocreate the natural stores of petroleum we have now. We are usingwhat is available at a much faster rate than it has been producedover time. The real controversy surrounding the amounts ofpetroleum we have is how much we need to keep in reserve for futureuse. (14.) Most experts agree that by around 2025 the amount ofpetroleum we use will reach a peak then production and availabilitywill begin to seriously decline.

W: (15.) Is that the most importantreason to develop alternative fuel and energysources?
M: (15.) There're two very clearreasons to do so. One is that whether we have 60 or 600 yearsof fossil fuels left, we have to find other fuel sourceseventually, so the sooner we start, the better off we will be. Theother big argument is that when you burn fossil fuels, you releasesubstances trapped in the ground for a long time, which leads tosome long term negative effects like global warming and greenhouseeffect.

And if stress in childhood can lead toheart disease, what about current stresses? Longer work hours,threats of layoffs, collapse in pension funds. (23.) A studylast year in the Lancered examined more than 11,000 heart attacksufferers from 52 countries. It found that in the year before theirheart attacks, patients have been under significantly more stressthan some 13,000 healthy control subjects. Those stresses came fromwork, family, financial trouble, depression and othercauses.
Each of these factors individually wasassociated with increased risk, says Dr. Salim Yosef, professor ofmedicine at Canada’s McMaster University, and senior investigatoron the study. Together they accounted for 30% of overall heartattack risk, but people respond differently to high pressure worksituations.

短文听写
When most people think of the word“education”, they think of a pupil as a sort of animate sausagecasing. Into this empty casting, the teachers are supposed to stuff“education.”
But genuine education, as Socrates knewmore than two thousand years ago, is not inserting the stuffing ofinformation into a person, but rather eliciting knowledge from him;it is the drawing-out of what is in the mind.
“The most important part of education,”once wrote William Ernest Hocking, the distinguished Harvardphilosopher, “is this instruction of a man in what he has inside ofhim.”
And, as Edith Hamilton has reminded us,Socrates never said, “I know, learn from me.” He said, rather,“Look into your own selves and find the spark of the truth that Godhas put into every heart and that only you can kindle to aflame.”
In a dialogue, Socrates takes anignorant slave boy, without a day of schooling, and proves to theamazed observers that the boy really “knows” geometry –because theprinciples of geometry are already in his mind, waiting to becalled out.
So many of the discussions andcontroversies about the content of education are useless andinconclusive because they are concerned with what should “go into”the student rather than with what should be taken out, and how thiscan best be done.
The college student who once said to me,after a lecture, “I spend so much time studying that I don’t have achance to learn anything,” was clearly expressing hisdissatisfaction with the sausage casing view ofeducation.
答案：
26. are supposed to
27. inserting
28. drawing-out
29. distinguished
30. spark
31. flame
32. schooling
33. controversies
34. are concerned with
35. dissatisfaction
