  • Well, hard water is water that has a lot of mineral in it.

 

  • So, what? What difference does that make?

  • In that case, I guess I really should buy a water softener for my apartment                          

 

  • Do you know where I can get one or how much they cost?

 

  • I’ll bet the man who tested your water yesterday knows that information.   

 

  • You’re right.

  • Before we start our first practice, though, there are some things I want you to know.

         

  • Running long distances is not an easy undertaking.

 

  • You are going to need months of training to gradually build up your stamina and strength for this spot.         

 

  • This is going to mean demanding workouts for three hours a day, in all kinds of weather.

 

  • We will be working out every morning before school and after school and on Saturday mornings as well, when we don’t have a race.

 

  • Sunday will be your day of rest, but I will recommend that you do some light weight lifting and muscle workouts on your own Sunday, too, so you don’t lose any muscle tone.

 

  • Most of our races will take place on Saturday mornings.

Questions 47 through 50. Listen to a college professor speaking to an art history class.

 

  • Winslow Homer was an American artist who lived from 1836 to 1910.
  • He became famous primarily for his dramatic paintings of the sea.

 

  • Homer was born in Boston, and as a young man he became apprenticed to a lithographer. 

 

  • He later became a magazine illustrator, and during the American Civil War, he was hired by a magazine called Harper‘s Weekly to illustrate battlefield scenes.

 

  • He also began painting with oils at that time and depicted rural American life in all of its simplicity and plainness.

 

  • The country people in Homer’s paintings have a charm and, at the same time, a heroic quality that make them very appealing. 

 

  • After a trip to a coastal town in England in 1881 and 1882, Homer turned his attention to the sea.

 

  • When he returned to America, he settled in a town on the coast of Maine, and there he completed many of his paintings of the sea.

 

  • These paintings often have a strong romantic quality and are well known for their drama and subtle use of light.

 

  • During the late 1800s, Homer became fascinated with what he considered to be the particularly American struggle between humanity and the forces of nature.

 

  • This struggle was clearly depicted in his paintings of the sea.

 

  • His fishermen and ship captains were not so much individuals as they were symbols of the courage and strength found in the men who made their living on the sea.

 

  • Just as the people in his paintings had a universal quality, so did the sea itself.

 

  • The sea in his paintings often has a quality of violence, or near-violence.

 

  • In his painting entitled The Gulf Stream, we see a young Black man, alone on a small boat in a rough sea, surrounded by sharks.     

 

  • He will clearly face a struggle for survival.

 

  • It seems unlikely that he can win.

 

  • Homer’s paintings of the sea are romantic yet highly realistic.

 

  • During his years on the coast of Maine, he was able to paint many of the changing moods of the Atlantic Ocean.
