W: Hi, Dan, you know that lab you missed? You can have my notes.
M: Thanks. I appreciate that.
W: So how are you feeling?
M: Much better now that I began taking an antibiotic. Student health gave me one, and it’s really help.
You know that it amazes me that the human races survive before antibiotics.
W: I agree. When my father was a young boy in the 1940’s, he got blood poisoned and would have
Died. But his doctor had heard of this new drug, called penicillin.
M: Wow, he was really lucky. And now we have lots of antibiotics that kill bacteria. 2S7bv,\+A0I Q&Lm)T
W: Well, penicillin kills bacteria, but not all antibiotics do. Some just slow the bacteria down until our 'Nt#I*R9J
normal immune defenses can finish the job. Tetracycline works that way. ^ pM;CI^
M: Wow, you are a fund of drug trivia. How do you know all these?
W: My mother used to look up all our medicines, prescription and nonprescription. There are lots of Y!z3~p"UD*Dk
books around. It’s interesting. What antibiotic are you taking?1{Uv\5| Ihjl9z*@
M: I don’t remember. It’s on the bottle. I think I’ll take a new look at the label and drop by the library to
see if they have reference books on medicines. See you in lab tomorrow.0T)W+u.~2ef

W: Hi, Bill, how is it going?
M: Oh, hi, Jane. I’m OK. How about you?
W: You can probably tell just by looking at me. I’m really busy. Hey, what are you reading?
M: A pretty interesting article. My biology professor assigned it, and I thought I just look it over. But I got really involved in it. It’s about endangered species.
W: That sounds pretty interesting. I’m getting frustrated with the two research papers I’m struggling with.
M: Oh?
W: And can you believe they are both due on the same day?/H{;u!V0s#fK
M: That’s tough.
W: I’ll get through it. So what’s this you are reading?|JyZ!IFnx
M: Well, it’s basically about the choices conservationists are faced with. You know, these days when
funding so hard to come by.
W: Wait a minute. Is it focused on biology or economics?ijDv(N[c"hn
M: Both. Conservationists don’t have enough funding to save every endangered species in the world, G.l,^f/brCE2\
so they have to decide based on BG_o y
what would be lost if a species became extinct.
W: Can you give me an example of what you mean?
M: Take for instance, two animals, the spotted awl and the tailed toad. The article says the toad is
unique. It has no relatives. But there are lots of varieties of awls.Z'tV@P4tm
W: So, if that toad became extinct, we’d lose an important link in the chain of revolution, right? a Z"f9^2g)SV
M: Exactly. But that isn’t so for the awl. So for conservationists, it might be clear choice of which animal to save.-X.`w5a[/`!?3_l`
W: I see. I am glad I don’t have to make that kind of decision. Aren’t you?

In my opinion, Frank Lloyd Wright was the greatest American architect of the 20th century. People who know his designs well point out that his roofs often leaked, his ceilings were too low, and his houses b8\`J9^4w(q W3O
were uncomfortable. In my presentation, however, I’ll be focusing on the virtues of his designs. For r~#n Jd*x? Q
what you see, it would be hard todispute that he manipulated space extremely well, some of his C~8Wq ^b.i,m
smallest houses look gigantic,and he had great respect for the materials he used and also a tremendous skill for placing his buildings in harmony with nature.Wright’scareer began when he was young. He
was just a teenager when he helped build the chapel on his family’s property in Wisconsin. And from @W;_N;c+|2`
there, he got hired as a draftsman by the project architect. So it was a very long career. He did at 91,
while his final major work, the Guggenheim Museum, was still being built.Today, we’ll cover what we 0rUpL8f,n
consider to be the two great periods of his career, Wright’s works before the Tokyo Imperial Hotel
completed in 1922 and everything after Falling Water, a private residence in western Pennsylvania
completed in 1936. The first period started around 1896, when he made a dramatic shift from the n M};pG#y[ C
classical tradition to the arts and crafts movement. Here, the emphasis was on order, consistency and
unity of design. Things were kept simple with minimal decoration. Natural forms were very important.
Let’s take a look at a slide of his own dining room done in this style.

We are going to talk today about the moon, our moon. First of all, the earth’s moon is unusual. Why?
It’s larger than other moons or satellites in the solar system, in relation to its planet that is. Its diameter
is more than a quarter that of the earth. And if you compare the earth and the moon in terms of HEY5]$zg$Kk
substance, you find the moon isn’t much like the earth. For example, the earth has a significant iron7DhY/Y v(s^
core, but the moon contains very little heavy materials like iron. That’s why its density is much lower ~XJ_ q"I
than that of the earth. Now, one time it was believed that the moon and the earth were formed at the
same time from the same material. But then wouldn’t the moon have as much iron as the earth? $w.EQD&l;_G
Another theory is that the moon was formed elsewhere in the solar system, and then it was captured, sort of the speak, by earth. But study shows that the young earth would not have had enough x-Gt[X^_
gravitational force to stop a body the size of a moon from traveling through the solar system and pull it into orbit. The newest theory is called the big splash theory. Here, the new young earth was hit by
another big planet. Most of the colliding planet entered the earth and became part of it. But the huge %E4OjX*mt
impact created a vapor that shed out into space and eventually condensed as the moon. Because this
material came mostly from the earth surface crust, not the iron core, the moon contains almost no
iron. Well, as plausible as it sounds, it’s only a theory, and we can’t be sure that this is what XSl1x!b}n
really happened, that this is how the moon originated. Plenty of research remains to be done.

In order to diagnose and treat abnormal behavior, we have to start with clear definitions of what’s meant by abnormal and normal. Criteria must be worked out for distinguishing one from the other in actual
clinical cases. The word abnormal implies a deviation from some clearly defined norm. In the case of k4u.ceU
physical illness, the boundary lines between normality and pathology are often clearly delineated by
medical science, making it easier to diagnose. On the psychological level, however, we have no ideal
model to use as a base of comparison, nothing to help us distinguish mental health from mental kF8JMe6cNGy
disorder. The problem of defining abnormal behavior via establishing just what is meant by normalf)h6}_x+c
behavior has proved extremely difficult. However, as chapter 5 outlines, several criteria have been MH8l+]'elv.v
proposed. One norm described in detail in your text is personal adjustment. An individual who was able to deal with problems effectively without serious anxiety or unhappiness or more serious symptoms is 5o5j[z6R'{t
said to be well adjusted. Personal adjustment as a norm has several serious limitations though. For
example, it makes no reference to the individual’s role in the group. How’re we going to classify, for *O0B$Mt"f
example, the a typical politician or businessperson who engages in unethical practices. Either might be successful, happy, and well-adjusted individual. Obviously, the welfare of the group, as well as that
of the individual, must be considered, which brings me to the next approach.
