Exercise 1
the human memory system is remarkably efficient but
it is of course extremely fallible. That being so, it makes sense to
take full advantage of memory aids to minimize the disruption caused bi such
lapses. If externol aids are used, it is sensible to use them consistently and
systematically - always put appointments in your diary always add wanted items
to a shoping list, and so on. If you use internal aids such as mnemonics, you
must be prepared to invest a reasonable amount of time in mastering them and
practicing them. Mnemonics are like tools and cannot be used until forged.
Overall, however as William James pointed out (the italics are mine): 'Of two
men with the sume outward experiences and the same amount of mere native
tenacity, the one who thinks over his experiences most and weaves them into
systematic relations with each other will be the one with the best memory.'
Exercise 2
this conflict betwen tarif reformers and free
traders was to lead to the "agreement to differ" convention in
January 1932, and the resignasion of the Liberals from the government in
september 1932; but until they resigned, the National Government was a genuine
coalition in the sense in which that term is used on the continent
a government comprising independent yet conflicting elements allied
together a government within which party conflict was not superseded
but rather contained - in shot a power-sharing government, albeit a
seriously unbalansed one.
Exercise 3
the number of different word relating to 'camel' is
said to be about six thousand. There are terms to refer to reding camel, milk
camels and slaughter camels other terms to indigate the pedicree and
geographical origine of the camel; and still others to differenciate
camels in different stages of pregnancy and to specify in-numerable other
characteristics impartant to a people so dependent upon camels in their deily
life (Thomas, 1937)
Exercise 4
these two forms of disscnt coalesced in the demand
for a stranger approach to the Tory nostrum of tariff reform. in addition
trouble threatened form the mercurial figure of winston churchill, who had
recigned from the shadow Cabinet in january 1931 in pretest at Baldwin's
acceptence of eventual self-government for India.
Exercise 5
these two sets of rules, though distinct, must not
be loked upon as two co-ordinate and independent system. on the contrary
the rules of Equity are only a sort of suplement or apendix to the Common
Law they assume its existance but they
add something farther.
Exercise 6
the clamour of compleint about teaching in
higher edugation and, more especially, about teaching metheds in
universities and technical colleges, serves to direct attention away from the
important reorientation which has recently begun. The complaints, of
course, are not unjustified In dealing piece-meal with problems arising from
rapidly developing subject matter, many teachers have allowed courses to become
overcrowded, or too specialized, or they have prasented students with a namber
of apparently unrelated cores failing to stress common principles.
Exercise 7
when we lok closely at a human face we are aware of
many expressive details - the lines of the forehad, the
wideness of the eyes, the curve of the lips, the jut of the chin.
These elements combine to present as with a total facial
expression which we use to interpret the mood of our compenion. But we all
know that people can 'put on a happy face' or deliberate adopt a sad
face without feeling either happy or sad. Faces can lie, and
sometimes can lie so well that it becomes herd to read the true emotions of
their owners. But there is at least one facial signal that cannot easily
be 'put on'. It is a small signal, and rather a subtle one, but because it tell
the truth it is of special interest. It comes from the pupilsand has to do
with their size in relation to the amount of light that is fall upon them.

Exercise 4
These two forms of dissent coalesced in the demand
for a stronger approach to the Tory nostrum of tariff reform. In addition,
trouble threatened from the mercurial figure of Winston Churchill, who had
resigned from the Shadow Cabinet in January 1931 in protest at Baldwin's
acceptance of eventual self-government for India.
Exercise 5
These two sets of rules, though distinct, must not
be looked upon as two co-ordinate and independent systems. On the
contrary, the rules of Equity are only a sort of supplement or appendix to
the Common Law; they assume its existence but they add something further.
Exercise 6
The clamour of complaint about teaching in
higher education and, more especially, about teaching methods in
universities and technical colleges, serves to direct attention away from the
important reorientation which has recently begun. The complaints, of
course, are not unjustified. In dealing piece-meal with problems arising from
rapidly developing subject matter, many teachers have allowed courses to become
over-crowded, or too specialized, or they have presented students with a number
of apparently unrelated courses failing to stress common principles.
Exercise 7
When we look closely at a human face we are aware of
many expressive details - the lines of the forehead, the
wideness of the eyes, the curve of the lips, the jut of the chin.
These elements combine to present us with a total facial expression which
we use to interpret the mood of our companion. But we all know that people can
'put on a happy face' or deliberately adopt a sad face without
feeling either happy or sad. Faces can lie, and sometimes can lie so
well that it becomes hard to read the true emotions of their owners. But there
is at least one facial signal that cannot easily be 'put on'. It is a
