TOPIC OF LISTENING PASSAGE: Main points about the topic: 1.  2.

You saw the notice from the university president? I certainly did. From the tone of the notice, it sounded as if he was kind of upset, don't you think? I do. I wonder why he created this new policy. Well, it wasn't a new policy. ... He was just reminding us of a policy that already existed... But, you didn't hear why he put out this notice reminding us about the policy? No,l didn't. Did you? Well, I heard something. This is what some of the other guys told me. They said that one of the professors in the Biology Department,has a pet snake. A pet snake? Yeah, a really big one. Anyway, the snake got out somehow, it escaped, and got into the president's office somehow. Oh, no! Yeah, the president got quite a surprise when he sat down at his desk and felt this snake under his desk. Okay. Now I see why the president issued the notice.
