[02:13.62]Indian summer is a short period of extremely fair weather and mild days in autumn.
[02:19.65]It comes in late October or early November
[02:22.55]while the leaves are changing color and falling from the trees.
[02:26.73]It has no definite day of beginning or ending.
[02:30.75]The pleasant weather follows the autumn's first period of cold,wintry days.
[02:35.90]The days become warmer but the nights remain chill
[02:39.63]An Indian summer moon often has a soft yellow or orange hud.
[02:44.44]Indian summer lasts from a week to ten days and sometimes for two weeks.
[02:49.67]Then winter starts.
[02:51.65]Indian summer is caused by a large mass of warm tropical ai
[02:56.09]South winds carry these masses northward.
[02:59.07]The American Indian enjoyed Indian summer and called it a gift of a favorite God.

[03:44.94]You may use these books only in the reference room itself.
[03:48.73]The next room is the periodicals room
[03:51.68]where you'll find various newspapers, magazines and academic journal.
[03:56.38]The current issues are usually directly available to you on the shelves
[04:01.37]And you can get an older issue by filling out a slip for the librarian.
[04:06.57]These items must also be used in this room.
[04:10.28]This next room contains the card catalog.

[04:59.52]16. Which people are usually not allowed to use the stacks?
[05:05.14]Passage Three
[05:06.65]Today I'm going to discuss transportation and communication
[05:10.28]in the earty 19th century in the United States.
[05:13.44]At that time,inland waterways provided North America's most popular from of long distance transportation.
[05:20.34]Travel by river was often more convenient than taking a wagon over primitive country road
[05:26.06]especially when shipping heavy loads of farm products or household good
[05:30.16]Where the natural waterways were inadequate
[05:32.62]shallow canals were built.
[05:34.34]The Erie Canal,opened in 1825,connected the Great Lakes with the upper Hudson River.
[05:40.17]It allowed settlers in the Great Lakes region to send their crops eastward to New York City
[05:45.00]the mouth of the Hudson at a much lower cost.
[05:47.82]From there,crops could be shipped to other Atlantic ports.
[05:51.92]The construction of the Erie Canal also encouraged westward migration along inland waterways and helped populate the frontier.
[05:59.39]The City of Detroit grew up between two of the Great Laker.
[06:03.63]Later a canal joined the Great Lakes with the Mississippi river system and Chicago became a thriving city.
[06:10.36]Politically the waterway system untied the nation in a way few had imagined possible.
[06:15.75]By the mid -- 1800's faster and cheaper railroads became more popular and the canal system declined
[06:23.09]railroads could be used year round whereas canals were often frozen in the winter
[06:28.31]During the first third of the century,however
[06:31.05]tranportation on river
[06:32.78]lakes and canals aided greatly in the growth of the United States.
[06:37.11]Next week we'll discuss the railroads in greater detail.
[06:41.01]17. What is the main idea of this lecture?
[06:45.34]18. When was inland waterway travel most popular?
[06:50.54]19. What was usually transported from west to east?
[06:55.71]20. What was NOT a result of the inland water system in the United States
