CNN 10 – Listening Comprehension
How did potatoes first develop approximately nine million years ago?
Potatoes developed from an ancient genetic hybrid/mashup between a wild tomato and a tuber-forming plant in South America.
What two useful characteristics did the new hybrid plant inherit from its parent plants?
It inherited genes that allowed it to produce tubers/store food underground and helped determine how those tubers developed. The resulting plant could also survive cold conditions and reproduce without seeds.
What does the new “Gateside by TSA PreCheck” program allow eligible people to do?
It allows eligible TSA PreCheck members to go through airport security without having a plane ticket, for example to say goodbye to someone, welcome someone home, or meet someone during a layover.
What must someone do before they can use the Gateside program?
They must apply online one to three days in advance. If approved, the pass is valid for that calendar day.

What did Pixar and Porsche create together to celebrate Toy Story 5?

According to Bob Pauley, what is one important similarity between the process of creating an animated movie and designing a car?
Both processes begin with an idea/story and move through drawings and sketches before becoming a finished product. In animation this develops into storyboards; in car design it moves toward engineering.
Give one example of a Toy Story-inspired detail that was incorporated into one of the Porsche cars.
Buzz Lightyear's wings and rocket on the headliner, special Lightyear tires, or fabric-like texture incorporated into Woody's paintwork.
