readingIf you fail, don’t forget to learn your lesson。

如果你失败了,千万别忘了总结教训。

1. Mental StimulationStudies have shown that staying mentally stimulated can slow the progress of (or possibly even prevent) Dementia, since keeping your brain active and engaged prevents it from losing power. Just like any other muscle in the body, the brain requires exercise to keep it strong and healthy, so the phrase “use it or lose it” is particularly apt when it comes to your mind. Doing puzzles and playing games such as chess have also been found to be helpful with cognitive stimulation. mental stimulation振奋精神Studies have shown that…研究表明…staying mentally stimulated保持精神振奋slow the progress of减慢…的进程dementia [dɪ'menʃə] 痴呆症apt恰当的,适当的when it comes to …当提到…do puzzles猜谜语have been found to be被发现是…cognitive stimulation认知刺激so the phrase “use it or lose it” is particularly apt when it comes to your mind所以当我们说到脑子的时候,这个说法“用进废退”特别的贴切2. Stress ReductionNo matter how much stress you have at work, in your personal relationships, or countless other issues faced in daily life, it all just slips away when you lose yourself in a great story. A well-written novel can transport you to other realms, while an engaging article will distract you and keep you in the present moment, letting tensions drain away and allowing you to relax.No matter how much stress you have at work无论在工作上你有多少压力it all just slips away when you lose yourself in a great story当你沉浸在一个好的故事中,所有的压力都会瞬间消失A well-written novel can transport you to other realms一个好的小说会把你送到另外一个王国t ransport … to… 把…送到…realm [relm]王国,领域,范围distract sb 转移某人的注意力let tensions drain away让紧张被抽干The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.对明天做好的准备就是今天做到最好!3. KnowledgeEverything you read fills your head with new bits of information, and you never know when it might come in handy. The more knowledge you have, the better-equipped you are to tackle any challenge you’ll ever face.Additionally, here’s a bit of food for thought: should you ever find yourself in dire circumstances, remember that although you might lose everything else—your job, your possessions, your money, even your health—knowledge can never be taken from you.come in handy 随手可用food for thought引人深思的事here’s a bit of food for thought 引人深思的事情有:dire circumstances可怕的情况in dire circumstances在可怕的情况下possessions [pə'zeʃənz] n. [经] 财产;所有物(possession的复数形式)remember that although you might lose everything else—your job, your possessions, your money, even your health—knowledge can never be taken from you. 棒棒的表达,前后对比,突出主题4. Vocabulary ExpansionThis goes with the above topic: the more you read, the more words you gain exposure to, and they’ll inevitably make their way into your everyday vocabulary. Being articulate and well-spoken is of great help in any profession, and knowing that you can speak to higher-ups with self-confidence can be an enormous boost to your self-esteem. It could even aid in your career, as those who are well-read, well-spoken, and knowledgeable on a variety of topics tend to get promotions more quickly (and more often) than those with smaller vocabularies and lack of awareness of literature, scientific breakthroughs, and global events.Reading books is also vital for learning new languages, as non-native speakers gain exposure to words used in context, which will ameliorate their own speaking and writing fluency.gain exposure to 接触到make their way自发的make their own way into your everyday vocabulary 自发的融入你的日常词汇中be an enormous boost to 对……有极大的帮助be an enormous boost to your self-esteem对你的自尊有很大的帮助lack of awareness of 对……缺乏认识lack of awareness of literature, scientific breakthroughs, and global events 对文学、科学背景及全球事件缺乏认识is vital for 对……至关重要Reading books is also vital for learning new languages读书对学习新语言是非常重要的non-native speakers gain exposure to words used in context 非常好的表达,ameliorate [ə'miːlɪəreɪt] vt. 改善;减轻(痛苦等);改良vi. 变得更好speaking and writing fluency 说话、写作的流利度5.Memory ImprovementWhen you read a book, you have to remember an assortment of characters, their backgrounds, ambitions, history, and nuances, as well as the various arcs and sub-plots that weave their way through every story. That’s a fair bit to remember, but brains are marvellous things and can remember these things with relative ease. Amazingly enough, every new memory you create forges new synapses (brain pathways)and strengthens existing ones, which assists in short-term memory recall as well as stabilizing moods. How cool is that?6. Stronger Analytical Thinking SkillsHave you ever read an amazing mystery novel, and solved the mystery yourself before finishing the book? If so, you were able to put critical and analytical thinking to work by taking note of all the details provided and sorting them out to determine “whodunnit”.That same ability to analyze details also comes in handy when it comes to critiquing the plot; determining whether it was a well-written piece, if the characters were properly developed, if the storyline ran smoothly, etc. Should you ever have an opportunity to discuss the book with others,you’ll be able to state your opinions clearly, as you’ve taken the time to really consider all the aspects involved.To be yourself ! 做自己!7. Improved focus and concentrationIn our internet-crazed world, attention is drawn in a million different directions at once as we multi-task through every day. In a single 5-minute span, the average person will divide their time between working on a task, checking email, chatting with a couple of people (via gchat, skype, etc.), keeping an eye on twitter, monitoring their smartphone, and interacting with co-workers. This type of behaviour causes stress levels to rise, and lowers our productivity.When you read a book, all of your attention is focused on the story—the rest of the world just falls away, and you can immerse yourself in every fine detail you’r e absorbing. Try reading for 15-20 minutes before work (i.e. on your morning commute, if you take public transit), and you’ll be surprised at how much more focused you are once you get to the office.In our internet-crazed world 在网络非常疯狂的年代(作文可用)attention is drawn in a million different directions注意力被极多不同方向吸引keeping an eye on twitter, monitoring their smartphone, and interacting with co-workers.留意推特,监视着手机(紧盯手机),与同事互动(co-workers 好单词)the rest of the world just falls away全世界(剩下的)全部消失了on your morning commute在早上上班的时候take public transit乘坐公共交通工具This goes hand-in-hand with the expansion of your vocabulary: exposure to published, well-written work has a noted effect on one’s own writing, as observing the cadence, fluidity, and writing styles of other authors will invariably influence your own work. In the same way that musicians influence one another, and painters use techniques established by previous masters, so do writers learn how to craft prose by reading the works of others.goes hand-in-hand with 和…有亲密关系(紧密联系) 表意:手拉手的has a noted effect on对…有很大影响invariably influence 很大影响到painters use techniques established by previous masters 画家所用的技巧是之前大师所创立的。

What subject do you worry about the most at school? Many students worry about math. Some students can't sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful (压力大的)."For people who are worried about math, posture (姿势)makes a big difference," Erik Paper from San Francisco State University told the Daily Mail . That's right –sitting up straight can help you do better on math exams.Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a simple math exam while sittingin a slumped-over (趴倒的)posture, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56 percent of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.Slumping over is a defensive (警戒的)posture. It can bring about bad memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking clearly, Paper said.Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam did not necessarily benefit(受益) from better posture. But they did find that doing math while slumped over was more difficult, Science Daily reported.Good posture isn't just helpful for taking math exams. Sportspeople, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture. When you feel stressed out, you can also try to situp straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more certain and focus better.(1) What posture can make people feel less stressed during math exams?A. Sitting up straight.B. Hanging your head.C. Lying on your back.D.

Unite4 Electronic Information(robots)Remote-controlled Robot Surrogate Could Attend Your Next Meeting. for You(译文见下端)1It may look like a floor lamp mounted on a vacuum claener , but Anybots Inc.'s new QB is actually the latest in surrogate robotics . QB is designed to serve as your eyes ,ears and voice when you can't be there in person ,Even better , it's mobile , rolls around on two wheels like Rosie and can be navigated remotely via the Web and a Wi-Fi connection .2Telecommuting workers and traveling executives alike could us QB (so named because it is the next in line after the company's prototype QB bot) as a virtual extension of themselves. allowing them to attend meetings , tour facilities or perform walk-throughs of real estate properties , all while controlling the robot from a computer keyboard.3Anybots formally unveiled the remotely controlled robot on Tuesday and plans to start selling QBs by the end of the year .A five-megapixel vedio camera serves as one eye, whlie the other is a laser pointer. A speaker on the crown of QB's head gives it a mouthpiece, a touch-screen monitor on on its forehead enables software maintenance and other input , and a ring of protective rubber around its head makes it look a bit like Olivia Newton-John circa 1981.4Along with the wheels,a self-balancing system and a motor with a top speed of five kilometers per our make the robot mobile . The two-wheel-as opposed to a tricycle or quad-design makes it more maneuverable in tight spaces and helps keep its weight down to about 16 kilograms . The area between the QB's head and base consists of a length of telescoping plastic that can be adjusted to let the QB stand as tall as 175 centimeters or as short as 81 centimeter.5Although it's unclear if the capacity for remote operation. willUS$15,000 Price tag .Anybots believe its technology will appeal to a new generation of workers who expect to be in contact at all times and in all places .The QB is designed to enable this connectivity without sacrificing “presence”,says Bob Christopher,president and chief operating officer of Anybots ,based in Moutain View,Calif . Bandwidth speed and vedio quality continue to improve , but they can’t replace being there , he adds .A test-drive reveals valuable Wi-Fi lesson6 To see how this might work in practice , Scientific American test-drove (from our editorial offices in New York) a QB located at Anybots’s facility in California . Our mossion was to drive across the building’s lobby and ask a second QB (remotely controlled by an Anybots employee) where we could find Erin Rapacki , who does product development for the company , and then proceed to Erin’s location. The session began with logging on to a website set up by Anybots and selecting the IP address of the QB we were to inhabit.7 Once our robot “woke up” and connected to Anybots’s local Wi-Fi network, we used the arrow keys on our keyboard to navigate the QB across the lobby. The controls take some getting used to. Particularly because rugs and other materials on the floor may prevent the Qb from travelling a completely straight line . We easily found the other QB but had difficulty aligning our camera so that we were staring directly into the other QB’s camera. This wasn’t necessary , because we could hearthe person controlling the other QB loud and clear through the microphone on our robot. Using the arrow keys,we were able to swivel our QB to the left and follow the relatively basic directions we had been given to our destination.8 With a bit more practice, navigation would have been smoother, THE QB features a buit-in lidar(light detection and ranging) system that warns the robot when it is getting too close to an object and slows the robot down to avoid(or at least reduce the impact of) a collision. The QB also has a camera located on the bottom of its “”chin” that points down at its wheels so you can see whether you’re about to drive over a lower obstacle(such as someone’s foot).9 The QB’s laser-pointer eye turned out to be useful when greeting people we encountered, including Anybots founder and CEO Trevor Blackwell, who accepted a laser beam in the palm of his hand in lieu of a handshake (a relief ,since the QB has no hands).10 By the time we were ready to leave , we were able to drive our QB back to the Anybots lobby and out the front door. Just past the building’s threshold, we learned a valuable lesson in surrogate navigation: never drive outside the range of your Wi-Fi network. A dropped connection means no cameras and no control over the robot’s navigation, which was especially unfortunate in our case because we were approaching the top of a ramp down to the parking lot when we lost the signal.11 Danger,Will Robinson.Unit4译文今后远程控制的代理机器人可以为您参加的会议它可能看起来像装在一个真空吸尘器落地灯,但实际上它是Anybots公司最新的代理机器人的QB。

薄荷阅读MintReading·1月21日知识点总结·在数学领域,18是介与17与19之间的自然数,偶数,合数,是一个简单的阿拉伯数字。

在化学领域中,18是氩的原子序数。

在文化领域中,18表示成年,18是地狱的层数,是十八罗汉代称,是粤语“十发”的谐音。

在薄荷阅读,18的今天,我们已经读了9444个字。

在你心里,18这个日子,也许会比较特别。

-背景知识-1. vultures 秃鹫秃鹫是一种大型猛禽,身长从108厘米到120厘米不等,就和一个一年级小朋友的个头差不多。

长得嘛,也比较丑,给大家看看样子吧~看了它的样子以后大家应该就明白它为什么叫做秃鹫了吧~秃鹫生活在荒原和草原地带,主要以大型动物的尸体和其他腐烂动物为食,被称为“草原上的清洁工”,常在开阔而较裸露的山地和平原上空飞来飞去,来寻找动物的尸体。

当然啦,有的时候它们也懒得飞来飞去去找食物,于是看到有快要死掉的动物就会在旁边等着~- 熟词生义-1. 「fall」:此处意思为“倒下、趴下”原句:...waiting to eat the body of whichever should fall first.而它还有一个常见的意思是“落下、下降”,此外它还有名词“秋天”的意思。

2. 「matter」: 此处做动词,意思是“有关系、要紧”。

原句:Quality matters more than quantity.口语里我们说某事不重要的话,有时会听到对方说It doesn`t matter. 意思就是说这件事不重要。

而matter最常见的意思是“事情”例句:What’s the matter?什么事?- 句子解析-1. Both seriously injured and exhausted, they stopped to catch their breath and saw vultures overhead, waiting to eat the body of whichever should fall first.「both」:表示“两者都”,在这里就是指both the lion and the tiger,他们打了一架,然后两败俱伤。

「stop to catch their breath」:“stop to do something”表示停下来去做某事。

这里表示他们停下来歇口气。

再用这个短语给大家举个例子:After a whole day work, I stopped to read a book. 在一天的工作以后,我停下来去看书了。

「waiting to eat …」:在这里是用来补充vultures(秃鹫),什么样的秃鹰呢?——等他们互相残杀,然后吃掉先倒下的那一个的秃鹰。

「whichever」:是“任何一个,无论哪个”的意思。

就是说无论是狮子还是老虎,谁先倒下(fall first),他们就吃谁。

2. The animals were arguing about / who deserved the most praise for the babies / she gave birth to.「argue about something」:的意思是“争论某事”。

再给大家举个例子~We need not argue about the weather. 我们不必要争论天气。

「who ... birth to.」:这个部分就是动物们所争论的内容,shegave birth to是在补充babies,指“她们生的婴儿”。

deserve the most praise for .. .因为...... 而获得最高荣誉。

简单点来讲就是他们在根据自己的孩子评选最好妈妈。

3. His wife, however, who had seen everything that had happened, said, “You deserve this. How could you for a moment think of shutting a lion in here, when you know that you get afraid if you only hear him from a distance?'.「who...happened」:是在修饰补充his wife,his wife是什么样的呢?——他的妻子看到了发生的一切。

「You deserve this」:这是你应得的。

deserve既可以形容应得好东西(比如prize,praises),也可以形容不好的方面,比如这里you deserve this 想表达的就是“活该”的意思。

「How could you do …」:你怎么能这么做呢。

for a moment本身的意思是“一会儿,片刻”,在这里how could you for a moment think of 想表达的就是“你怎么能想到......,哪怕是只想了一秒?”这句话的大意就是:然而,他的妻子看到了这一切,然后说,“你明知道就算离得远,听到他的声音都会害怕,你怎么能想得到把狮子关在这里呢?”4. Better scare a thief than actually catch him.「better do A than do B 」:表示“做A比做B更好”(虽然better这里翻译成更好,但是我们中文的表达习惯,也可以把这说出最好做A)。

scare在这里是作动词“惊吓”的意思,这句话想表达的意思就是“你去吓一个小偷会比真正抓住他更好”。

5. Love can blind even the wildest.「blind」:在这里用作动词,意思是“让人失去理智”。

Love can blind somebody。

爱情使人盲目。

「the wildest」:是指“最凶猛的动物”,在这里就是指狮子。

'the + 形容词' 可以表示一类人。

比如最常见的the poor穷人,the rich富人。

是不是觉得这个用法有点熟悉?第九章讲到过这个用法。

这个用法在指生物的时候一般是指人,但因为伊索寓言里的动物都是拟人化的,所以在这里的the wildest就是指“最凶猛的动物”。

拓展:the+形容词也可以指一类事。

比如今天的内容里有一句“the work of the great”,the great 在这里就是指the great thing (大事情,好事情)。

类似的还有the latest(最新的消息),the new (新生事物),the unknown(未知的事物)等等。

6. “The first quarter is for me as I am king of the animals; the second is mine as judge; another share comes to me for my part in the chase; as for the fourth quarter, well, I should like to see which of you will dare to try and take it.”.「quarter」:在这里意思是“四分之一”。

the first quarter就是指第一个四分之一份食物。

「as」: as在这句话里出现了三次,但是用法都不一样。

第一个as是“因为”的意思,第二个as是“作为,当作”,第三个和for一起连用,as for表示“至于”。

「well」:这个词在口语里很常用,类似于“恩,那,啊”等等。

具体表示什么要根据当时的对话和场景判断。

「should like to do」:是“想要,愿意”。

在这里可以直译“我很想看看你们谁…...”。

「which of you」:表示“你们之中哪一个”。

「dare to do something」:表示“胆敢做某事、竟敢做某事”,给大家举个例子~~e.g. Don't you dare to call me that! 你竟敢那样叫我!综合起来,这句话的意思是,狮子说:“第一份是给我(is for me),因为(as)我是动物之王。

第二份是我作为(as)一个裁判员(应该得的);另一份也归我(come to me)因为我在追逐中付出的努力;至于(as for)第四块,恩(well),我倒要看看(should like to see)你们谁敢尝试拿走它。

”拓展:这一句话quarter出现了四次啦~那我们就看看quarter这个词的一些其他意思吧!1. 一刻钟欧美人说十点十五分,就说quarter past ten;十点四十五分就是quarter to eleven。

(在整点时刻n,到下一个整点时刻n+1期间时,分钟<= 30="" min时,中间介词选用past,表示距离整点时刻n已经过了多久;="" 分钟=""> 30时候,中间介词选用to, 表示距离下一个整点n+1还差多少分钟)。

2.美元或者加币里价值25分(25 cents)的硬币。
