W: Hi, Jack. I heard that you are back at school now.

M: Yes, Susan. I just started college after taking three years off after high school.

W: Oh, yeah?

M: I’m feeling completely out of practice. I don’t know how to handle it, because my former classmates are already seniors, and they are graduating this year. And I’m just first year student and… I feel kind of at this disadvantage.

W: Really? Well, I don’t know. I kind of did the same thing. I started college right after high school. But I went back after a year. Then after two years I came back to school again. I actually felt like I appreciated my education more, because I was ready for it.

M: That’s a good point. I didn’t go on to college after high school, because I wasn’t ready. I needed a break.

W: Exactly.

M: Did it take you a while to remember how to form my papers or stuff like that?

W: Yeah. And I was an English major, so I have to do a lot of that. But catch on quickly and you just learn. Are you taking a lot of courses? Because if you overload yourself, you know, right away, it can be difficult.

M: I’m trying to take it slow and ease back into it.

The marathon is an exciting event in any year as runners push themselves to extreme limit of their body to complete the over 42 kilometer race. But during the 1968 Mexico City Olympic, three runners performed such great acts that race is considered a truly historic event. One of the runners, Abebe Bikila from Ethiopia, is famous for having won the Olympic marathons at the Rome and Tokyo games. He hoped to win a third in Mexico City. Bikila was really strong as he began the marathon. But at the third of the way into the race he suddenly dropped out. He’d been suffering from a pain in his left leg and could run no more. Mamo Wolde, another Ethiopian runner saw Bikila drop out and immediately poured on the speed as if he was filling his fallen teammate's shoes. Wolde gave Ethiopia its third marathon victory. But the drama of this marathon did not end when Wolde crossed the finishing line. A little more than an hour later, word was passed to the remaining audience that the last runner of marathon was arriving. Into the stadium, came Akhwari of Tanzania, his leg was bloody and bandaged. Moving with pain at every step, he pressed on and finally got passed the finishing line. The crowd cheered as if this last runner had been the winner.

W: Oh, OK OK. Now, if you’re meeting someone for the first time like Claudia’s parents, you should make sure you arrive on time.

Rainforests are the lungs of the planet – storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant amount of the world’s oxygen. Rainforests have their own perfect system for guaranteeing their own survival; the tall trees make a cover of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, dry heat and strong winds.

Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although close together, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is a deliberate method to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects. To survive in the forest, animals must climb from tree to tree. The ground floor of the forest is not all covered with leaves and bushes, but is where leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.

They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can produce 75% of their own rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal – and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain. In just two hours, streams can rise ten to twenty feet.
