m: i don’t know, susan, i don’t feel like i am reaching my freshman class this semester.

w: why do you say that?

m: it’s just they seem to glaze over(眼神呆滞) with noncomprehension, even when i’m talking about the basics, they are not specially motivated either. i know the class is a first year science requirement for most of them. but i’ve got to do something.

w: jean, you know jean white, she teaches physics, she just told me about how

she livens up(活跃)her classes.

m: what did she do?

w: well, basically, she takes something they are interested in, like music, and tries to relate principal of science to that. otherwise, the concepts seem to go right over their heads.

m: do you mean, for example, she’d use rock and roll to demonstrate the principles of acoustics(声学) and physics?

w: exactly, in fact, she said she had used music, and she’d used movies, especially, science fiction in her classes too.

m: sounds like her methods worth a try. but i need a few more details. maybe i’ll gonna see her tomorrow. thanks

m: ouch, how can the sand be so hot when the water’s still cold? my feet feel

like to getting blisters.

w: now, mark, were you sleeping when professor brock gave that lecture on specific heat(比热,即：使单位质量物体升高一度所需的热量) in physics class?

m: i didn’t come to san diego on spring break to talk about professor brock’s physics class.

w: i know, me neither, i was just answering your question, that’s all.

m: what question?

w: you weren’t even paying attention to your own question

m: i was just complaining about the hot sand. considering what the water’s like, i wonder how the sand can be so hot?

w: well, professor brock’s lecture on specific heat might give you a clue. water has a higher specific heat than sand.

m: then why is the sand so much hotter if water has a higher specific heat?

w: don’t you remember? specific heat is the energy need to raise the temperature of something. if something has a high specific heat, like water, it takes more energy to raise its temperature.

m: i see. so you are saying that something with a high specific heat, like water, doesn’t get hot as fast as something with a low specific heat, like sand, right?

w: right. so sand gets hot faster during the day, that’s why it’s so hot while the water’s still cool.

m: i guess you are right, i should pay more attention in class.36, what is the woman trying to explain to the man?

37, what is the man complaining about?

38, what does the woman say about the water?
