Good morning, and welcome. We have more than 300 students, from 15 countries, participating in today’s ecology conference. I’m sure you’ll enjoy making many new friends, as well as learning a lot about the environmental problems that affect all of our countries.

Good evening. This is the Ten O’Clock News.
Commuters in Tokyo found it very difficult to get home after work, due to a severe thunderstorm that occurred this evening. This unexpected storm cause flooding in some subway stations, and many trains were delayed for more than 90 minutes.
Lightning struck in several areas, leaving them in total darkness. Commuters took advantage of the situation by eating dinner by candlelight in nearby restaurants until the storm ended and transportation was running smoothly again.
Questions No. 23 to 25
Scientists have made an interesting discovery about chimpanzee babies, after conducting an experiment. A loudspeaker was placed near a chimpanzee mother’s stomach before her baby was born. It played two kind of sound, one with a high pitch and the other with a low pitch.
After the low-pitched sound was made, the mother’s stomach was given a mild shock. But after the high-pinched sound was made, no shock was given.
One month after the baby was born, the scientist played the same sound again. When the baby heard the low-pitched sound, it showed surprise, by kicking its legs and making crying sounds. But it did not react at all when it heard the high-pitched sound.
Exactly the same thing happened when it heard the sounds again two months after its birth. However, a second chimpanzee baby, whose mother was not given a shock before it was born, never reacted to either kind of sound.
The researchers concluded that chimpanzee babies are able to remember, even two months after they are born, what they learned while they were still inside their mothers.
