1。学生想在student center找工作，去找center manager。她想在Pits Area工作，并且prefer cashier和另外一个(具体忘了)，但是这两个职位都满了。manager说有server 和front desk空位，但是时间不符合学生的要求。manager建议学生下学期在上课一周前就来申请，或者可以到另外一个area去找找看。
2。学生生病缺课，discussion class 的很多presentation都没有做，希望能补，但是问过TA没有时间给她补。学生找教授商量，希望不要影响自己的期末成绩。教授看了学生的期中成绩不错，同时书面作业也按时完成，就问学生presentation什么课题，并同意以oral test来代替presentation.
3. lecture. 组织内部的官僚。官僚机构的结构，特点。理论上官僚机构遵循rules and regulation,没有exception,但是实际上有，教授举了个例子。Two characteristics of Bureaucracy: 1) the formation of the bureaucratic organization is to make its operation smoothly; 2) there are strict rule and regulation in a bureaucratic organization which in theory should be applied to every body. However there is exception. The professor gave an example, a student did very poor on her study because she had to take her ill mother. At last the #mittee members were moved by her tears and agreed to erase her scores from her transcript. Anyway, it is not re#mended, since it would be unfair to other students.
4. continent shift and plate technotic.按照时间顺序说明了这两个理论的发展。1) continent shift: the whole crust actually used to be an integral part owing to the discovery of some evidences: the same kind of fossils could be found both in Antarctic and the tropical areas; the mountains and other geographic feature are quite similar in different continents. However the scientist who put forward this theory could not give thorough explanation. 2) Plate tectonic which is used to explain many geographic puzzles, and is now widely acknowledged.
5.一个 美国作家，主要创作关于工业化过程人们生活的变化。各种文体，其中short story的创新最多，列了好几点，好像有repetition of character, plot,narrator等方面比较有特点。Several characteristics of his short stories: 1) the circular plot which is different from those linear plot, with an open ending. 2) The introduction of the narrator, because of the poor expression of the characters in the story. The narrator would speak directly to the reader, so the reader could be an active participant rather than a passive observer 3) the speech in the stories are very simple, just like those in the daily life. His influence upon Earnest Hemingway.
6. The theory of Milky Way expansion. The process is not fixed, since there are more and more new stars emerging. The lecture talks about the metal in the new stars and those in the old ones (sorry, I am confused).
