As you may have noticed, a new copier has a key pad. Each person will be assigned a personal access code which must be punched onto the key pad every time you make copies. After entering your code, gently place the original document on the glass and indicate the number of copies you want. When you’re finished, push the “Clear” button on the key pad so that no one else can make copies using your account. And be sure to keep your original document with you. This decision was made to prevent using paper unnecessarily.

Questions 89-91.
As a woman, sports commentator and TV personality, I’ve been asked to speak about the history of women and sports. Women have been making important contributions to sports for centuries. Since the 1800s, there have been women athletes who have inspired other women to succeed in sports. But women have also played a role in sports behind the scenes. For example, in 1876, Joyce Pam, a prominent teacher, came up with the idea for the first indoor running track. In the 1900s we have Nancy Sweet, the inspiring basketball coach and Grace Heiish, a leader in sports therapy.

This is Dr. Susan Comensky with today’s health report. Today we’re talking about self-defense for your ears. You know that sudden noises can damage your hearing, but the day-to-day pounding your ears take can also gradually result in a permanent hearing loss. To protect your hearing, try to use ear plugs. Use your ear plugs when you know you will be exposed to noise for an extended period, such as riding a motor cycle. Reduce your exposure to noise by choosing quiet leisure activities instead of noisy ones. Be careful with stereo headphones. Turn down the volume. Finally, have your hearing tested periodically. I’ll be back after the weather update.
