Q: CHAPTER XLVII.

KERRYCULLION.

Captain Clayton was thoroughly enjoying life, now perhaps, for the first time since he had had a bullet driven through his body. It had come to pass that everything, almost everything, was done for him by the hands of Edith. And yet Ada was willing to do everything that was required; but she declared always that what she did was of no avail. "Unless you take it to him, you know he won't eat it," she would still say. No doubt this was absurd, because the sick man's appetite was very good, considering that a hole had been made from his front to his back within the last month. It was still September, the weather was as warm as summer, and he insisted on lying out in the garden with his rugs around him, and enjoying the service of all his slaves. But among his slaves Edith was the one whom the other slaves found it most difficult to understand.

"I will go on," she said to her father, "and do everything for him while he is an invalid. But, when he is well enough to be moved, either he or I must go out of this."

Her father simply said that he did not understand it; but then he was one of the other slaves.

"Edith," said the Captain, one day, speaking from his rugs on the bank upon the lawn, "just say that one word, 'I yield.' It will have to be said sooner or later."

Answer the following questions:
1. who was shot?
2. where did the bullet go
3. how is he doing now?
4. is it the first time since being shot?
5. who assisted him with everything?
6. was anyone else willing to help?

Q: MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III, more commonly referred to as MP3, is an audio coding format for digital audio which uses a form of lossy data compression. It is a common audio format for consumer audio streaming or storage, as well as a de facto standard of digital audio compression for the transfer and playback of music on most digital audio players.

The use of lossy compression is designed to greatly reduce the amount of data required to represent the audio recording and still sound like a faithful reproduction of the original uncompressed audio for most listeners. An MP3 file that is created using the setting of 128 kbit/s will result in a file that is about 1/11 the size of the CD file created from the original audio source (44,100 samples per second 16 bits per sample 2 channels = 1,411,200 bit/s; MP3 compressed at 128 kbit/s: 128,000 bit/s [1 k = 1,000, not 1024, because it is a bit rate]. Ratio: 1,411,200/128,000 = 11.025). An MP3 file can also be constructed at higher or lower bit rates, with higher or lower resulting quality.

Answer the following questions:
1. Is MP3 commonly used?
2. What is it used for?
3. What is its full name?
4. Is it used for analog audio?
5. What's the purpose of compression?
6. Should it sound different?
7. How much smaller is an MP3 file than a CD?
8. Could it be smaller than that?
9. What would happen if it was smaller?
10. And if it were higher, what could happen?
A: 1. Yes
2. consumer audio streaming or storage
3. MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III
4. No
5. reduce the amount of data required
6. No
7. about 1/11 the size
8. Yes
9. lower resulting quality
10. higher resulting quality
