The United Kingdom (sometimes referred to as Britain) has a long and rich history of human settlement. Traces of buildings, tools, and art can be found from periods going back many thousands of years: from the Stone Age, through the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the time of the Roman colonization, the Middle Ages, up to the beginnings of the industrial age. Yet for most of the twentieth century, the science of archaeology, dedicated to uncovering and studying old cultural artifacts, was faced with serious problems and limitations in Britain.
First, many valuable artifacts were lost to construction projects. The growth of Britain's population, especially from the 1950s on, spurred a lot of new construction in British cities, towns, and villages. While digging foundations for new buildings, the builders often uncovered archaeologically valuable sites. Usually, however, they proceeded with the construction and did not preserve the artifacts. Many archaeologically precious artifacts were therefore destroyed.
Second, many archaeologists felt that the financial support for archaeological research was inadequate. For most of the twentieth century, archaeology was funded mostly through government funds and grants, which allowed archaeologists to investigate a handful of the most important sites but which left hundreds of other interesting projects without support. Furthermore, changing government priorities brought about periodic reductions in funding.
Third, it was difficult to have a career in archaeology. Archaeology jobs were to be found at universities or with a few government agencies, but there were never many positions available. Many people who wanted to become archaeologists ended up pursuing other careers and contributing to archaeological research only as unpaid amateurs.
The article introduces the theme of asteroids.
More specifically, the writer discusses about the benefits of colonizing on asteroids.
In the reading, the author begins by stating that since asteroids have low gravity compared to planets, it would be easier to land.
The lecturer, however, disagrees with this viewpoint. he states that there will be also bad consequences related to health if there are low gravity.
The author also claims that asteroids are wealth in precious elements such as gold and platinum. Hence, colonists or businesses that are sponsoring can support and pay even more money.
Again, the lecturer believes there are flaws in the writer’s argument. The speaker holds that even though there are valuable elements, it would be expensive to send them back to earth.
The writer in the reading passage says that it is easy to attain them. For example; some asteroids are closer than our moon, which means that spacecraft even can return from asteroids.
The professor in the listening is skeptical about this. he explains that asteroids are moving from one spot to another. Therefore, even though it could be easy to reach, very likely that spacecraft can return back.
To sum up, both the writer and professor will have trouble finding common ground on this issue.
