The professor and the reading passage both discuss about whether Marco Polo had been to China or not. However, the lecture discords with the idea in the reading passage that Macro Polo had never been to China. He offers several reasons to oppose the argument of this article.

     First of all, although in the article it claims that Macro Polo never had a Chinese name and the Chinese name of those locations and directions wrote in his book were already been used by other author, the professor says it's actually not necessary to start up a new name different from the usage which may make misleading. Thus, the lecture believes that having no new name is not an evidence to say Marco Polo has't been to China.

     Secondly, even thought the article states that in the book of Marco Polo doesn't mention the tea culture, an important habits of Chinese, the professor points out the fact that actually the tea culture was fascinated in Southern China. Since Marco Polo traveled in Northern China, it could be possible that he didn't have much impact on tea. As a result, the lecture contends that it is not a big deal that Marco Polo did not mention tea culture in his book.

    Thirdly, while he article indicates that there is no actual records shows Marco Polo had been to China, the professor mentions that maybe the Chinese were unable to spell his name so that they might use other name we don't know to describe him. Other possibility such as lost of the records could happen. Therefore, the lecture concludes that no record is not the evidence to prove the argument.

   In the reading paragraph, it suggested that the Anasazi was vanished due to three reasons. However, in the listening paragraph the professor argued that these three points are incorrect.

     First of all, the reading paragraph mention the Anasazi abondoned their village because of global warming. Since the weather changed, the Anasazi was force to migration. However, the professor provided a clud that there was trees and plants survive for a long time during the time. Thus what the reading part said is incorrect.

     Secondly, the reading part suggested the fact that Anasazi build irrigation system to store water is due to global warming. Global warming made them had not enough water resourses to use for dairy usage. On the contrast, the speaking person suggested they may survive since they had built the water-save system.

     Finally, the professor thought the true reason why the Anasazi disappeared may not due to the shortage of resourses. Other than the overgrown of population, it could be some other reasons such as attacked by other species or decease.
