    Defining One-Way Communication
    Picture an enormous crowded lecture hall. A professor steps up to a podium. The audience goes quiet. The professor begins to speak about, let's say, quantum string theory. He speaks for an hour and a half, and then he steps down and walks away without exchanging a word with anyone in the room. That's how one-way communication works.

    Communications theorists use simple models to describe how information flows between parties. The model uses three pieces: a sender, a receiver and a message. In one-way communication, a sender delivers a message to a receiver, but nothing flows back to the sender.

    Sometimes, one-way communication occurs because of the medium or method of communication. When you read a book, newspaper, or even this website, you play the part of the receiver in one-way communication. In these cases, the information moves in one direction because time and space separate the sender and the receiver. Print is a one-way communication medium.

    In the lecture hall, purpose separates the sender and receiver. The purpose of the lecture is to deliver, rather than exchange, information. To inform, to persuade, to entertain and to command are all common purposes for one-way communication, and we'll discuss each of these in this lesson.

    Croydon is an international air port of _________.

    1. U. S. A.

    2. France

    3. U. K.

    4. Germany
    Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
    C Correct answer
    Explanation
    Croydon is an international air port of U. K.
    Croydon had the first customs in the UK (passengers were weighed individually with their baggage and if they were over a certain weight, they had to pay extra — this has been an inspiration for budget airlines since). It had the first charter flight. It had the first departure board (essentially a wall of clocks, which quickly became confusing and was ditched after about two years). It also had the first airport hotel in the world, now the Hallmark Hotel Croydon Aerodrome. And it was the spiritual home of Amy Johnson — the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia (she took off from Croydon in May 1930).
    On a darker note, Croydon was the first airport to have a major civilian crash, when an Imperial Airways de Havilland DH.34 came down in Purley on Christmas Eve 1924, killing eight. A stranger, but equally dark, event occurred on 4 July 1928, when wealthy businessman Alfred Loewenstein left Croydon, bound for Brussels, but then stepped out of the plane while it was over the Channel. Whether this was the first suicide by plane, or a tragic accident, isn't known.

    4. double-stack unit train
    Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
    C Correct answer
    Explanation
    Rail Freight
    The use of railway cars is an effective method for transporting commodities. It is commonly a faster form of land transportation, compared to truck transportation. A single freight train is also capable of transporting a much greater cargo than a single truck. This gives it a significant advantage of trucking, because the larger scale results in decreased transportation costs, as there is less manpower and energy required to haul the same amount of cargo.

    2. Taiga

    3. Temperate

    4. None of these
    Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
    C Correct answer
    Explanation

    Temperate,

    The climate of Europe varies from subtropical to polar. The Mediterranean climate of the south is dry and warm. The western and northwestern parts have a mild, generally humid climate, influenced by the North Atlantic Drift. In central and eastern Europe the climate is of the humid continental-type with cool summers.
    Average yearly temperatures in these regions are not extreme, not burning hot nor freezing cold. Temperate means moderate. Unlike in the tropics, temperatures can change greatly here, between summer and winter. So, most places with a temperate climate have four seasons: summer, autumn, winter, and spring.
