Passage 1.

Stress is often depicted as negative, but research shows that moderate amounts of it can be beneficial for your brain and your body.

压力通常被描绘为负面，但研究表明适度的压力对大脑和身体有益。

First, the benefits for the brain.

首先，对大脑的益处。

Studies have shown that short periods of stress can actually bolster cognitive functioning.

研究表明，短期的压力实际上可以增强认知功能。

Researchers discovered that placing rats in a stressful situation for just a few hours doubled the growth of new brain cells.

研究人员发现，将老鼠置于压力环境中仅几小时，就能使新生脑细胞的生长增加一倍。

The rats also did better on a memory test later on.

老鼠在后来的记忆测试中也表现得更好。

Scientists think the same thing happens in humans.

科学家认为同样的事情也发生在人类身上。

But how does stress improve memory?

但压力如何改善记忆呢？

It's simple.

这很简单。

When your brain cells multiply, your memory can improve.

当你的脑细胞增殖时，你的记忆力可以提高。

Viewed from a biological perspective, this makes sense, because animals that are better at remembering dangerous situations can avoid them in the future.

从生物学角度来看，这有道理，因为更善于记住危险情况的动物可以在未来避免这些情况。

If an animal encounters a predator and escapes, for example, it's important to remember where and when that encounter happened.

例如，如果一只动物遇到捕食者并逃脱，记住那次遭遇发生的时间和地点很重要。

Experts assert that the same principle applies to humans.

Now, let's turn to how stress benefits the body.

现在，让我们转向压力如何有益于身体。

This may come as a surprise to laymen, but experts say that stress can keep you from getting sick.

这对门外汉来说可能是个惊喜，但专家说压力可以防止你生病。

Scientists concede that chronic stress can make you more prone to illness, but research shows that short periods of stress can actually provide some protection against getting sick, because it increases your immune functioning.

科学家承认慢性压力会使你更容易生病，但研究表明短期的压力实际上可以提供一些防止生病的保护，因为它增强了你的免疫功能。

One study shows that rats that experienced brief stress had a surge of immune cell response, which makes the immune system better prepared to fight illness.

一项研究表明，经历过短暂压力的老鼠免疫细胞反应激增，这使得免疫系统更好地准备对抗疾病。

For humans, there is even evidence that experiencing stress before getting vaccinated could help make vaccines more effective.

对于人类，甚至有证据表明，在接种疫苗前经历压力可能有助于使疫苗更有效。

Passage 2.

篇章二。

For many managers and people who work in leadership positions, dealing with emails is a dilemma.

对于许多管理者和担任领导职位的人来说，处理电子邮件是一个两难困境。

It's likely the unpredictable, uncontrollable, and ongoing nature of day-to-day email in terms of volume, importance, and urgency contributes to their levels of anxiety and to diminished leadership skills.

日常电子邮件在数量、重要性和紧迫性方面不可预测、难以控制且持续不断的特点，很可能加剧了他们的焦虑水平，并削弱了他们的领导能力。

That's because it's not unusual for many leaders to prioritize email management over people management.

原因在于，许多领导者优先处理邮件而非管理下属，这种情况并不少见。

An obsession with managing their inbox prevents them from dealing with their employees.

他们沉迷于处理收件箱，导致无法妥善应对员工问题。

As a result, they ignore the issues that might only be mild problems at first, until, unfortunately, they inevitably transform into a major problem or crisis by virtue of neglect.

结果，他们忽视了那些起初可能只是小问题的事情，直到不幸的是，这些问题因疏忽而不可避免地演变成重大问题或危机。

As leaders, they are expected to motivate and inspire their team in pursuit of longer-term strategic goals, and also, less ambitiously but more practically, to monitor their daily output, to set clear expectations, and to give regular feedback.

作为领导者，他们被期望在追求更长期战略目标的过程中激励和鼓舞团队，同时，在较为实际而非雄心勃勃的层面上，监督日常产出、设定明确期望并定期给予反馈。

When presented with a choice between the appeal of their inbox and other more important activities, many sacrifice the latter.

当面临收件箱吸引力与其他更重要活动之间的选择时，许多人牺牲了后者。

Daily email demands have a negative impact on their goal progress.

日常邮件需求对他们的目标进展产生了负面影响。

This is because leaders must divert resources from other tasks to check, filter, and respond to emails.

这是因为领导者必须从其他任务中分身，以查看、筛选和回复电子邮件。

The solution is cultivating self-control, which is like a muscle.

解决办法在于培养自制力，这就像肌肉一样。

It can be strengthened or improved over time through exercise.

通过锻炼，它会随时间得到增强或改善。

Some suggestions include making space in your diary for the only periods during which you'll be checking emails, setting a timer for yourself so you don't become distracted by your inbox for too long, turning off email alerts so you're not interrupted by them.

一些建议包括：在日程中安排专门查看邮件的时间段；为自己设置计时器，以免在收件箱上分心过久；关闭邮件提醒，以避免被打断。

Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.

第12至15题基于你刚才听到的篇章。

Question 12. What does the speaker say is a common problem with managers?

In last week's lecture, we talked about the problems caused by poor eating habits, focusing on how medical professionals are trying to solve these problems.

在上周的讲座中，我们讨论了不良饮食习惯造成的问题，重点介绍了医疗专业人员如何试图解决这些问题。

Today, we'll continue with the topic, but focus on research from a different field.

今天，我们将继续这个话题，但重点放在来自不同领域的研究。

Marketing.

市场营销。

Now, what can marketing tell us about improving nutrition?

那么，市场营销能告诉我们关于改善营养的什么呢？

Well, a team of marketing professors has studied the importance of the visual aspect of food, and how that influences food choices.

嗯，一组市场营销教授研究了食物视觉方面的重要性，以及它如何影响食物选择。

Those marketing experts assert that the impact of the appearance of food is greater than we might presume, and might hold the key to encouraging better eating.

这些市场营销专家断言，食物外观的影响比我们可能认为的要大，并且可能掌握着鼓励更好饮食的关键。

So, how important is the appearance of food?

那么，食物的外观有多重要呢？

Research shows that just seeing an appealing photograph of a hamburger in an advertisement, for example, can cause individuals to imagine the taste or smell of that hamburger.

研究表明，例如，仅仅在广告中看到一张诱人的汉堡照片，就能让人想象出那个汉堡的味道或气味。

This can make them more likely to purchase and consume it.

这会使他们更有可能购买并消费它。

Of course, that's the point of advertisements, so isn't that a good thing?

当然，这正是广告的目的，所以这不是好事吗？

Well, the marketing professors argue that this is actually a problem, because the combination of pleasing aesthetics of and easy access to unhealthy foods, such as hamburgers and pizza, may be contributing to a worldwide health crisis.

嗯，市场营销教授们认为这实际上是一个问题，因为不健康食品（如汉堡和披萨）的令人愉悦的美学和易于获取的结合，可能正在导致全球健康危机。

In fact, statistics show that 39% of all adults in the world weigh too much, and another 13% are obese.

事实上，统计数据显示，世界上39%的成年人体重过重，另外13%的人肥胖。

Now, as we discussed last time, medical professionals have tried to fight the obesity epidemic by focusing on the nutrients found in different foods, emphasizing things like carbohydrate, fat, sugar, and calorie content.

正如我们上次讨论的，医疗专业人员试图通过关注不同食物中的营养成分来对抗肥胖流行病，强调碳水化合物、脂肪、糖和卡路里含量等。

But they've had limited success.

但他们的成功有限。

The marketing professors believe that the real solution to obesity is making food look appealing and focusing on the pleasure of both looking at and eating that food.

市场营销教授们认为，解决肥胖问题的真正方案是让食物看起来诱人，并专注于观看和食用该食物的乐趣。

That pleasure can be used as a tool to promote healthy food choices.

这种乐趣可以被用作促进健康食物选择的工具。

In fact, the research done by the team showed that associating healthy food with pleasant images, experiences, and emotions led to greater interest in purchasing or eating it.

事实上，该团队的研究表明，将健康食物与愉快的图像、体验和情感联系起来，会增加购买或食用它的兴趣。

This is a better strategy, they claim, than reminding consumers that a certain food is good for them.

他们声称，这比提醒消费者某种食物对他们有益更好。

But are they right?

但他们对吗？

Well, the researchers cited a marketing campaign designed to reverse the sales decline of carrots.

嗯，研究人员引用了一个旨在逆转胡萝卜销量下降的营销活动。

The campaign didn't emphasize the carrots' healthy qualities, but embrace their beauty and the pleasure derived from eating them.

该活动没有强调胡萝卜的健康品质，而是拥抱它们的美丽和食用它们所带来的乐趣。

For example, the ads focused on the bright, beautiful orange color and crisp texture of the carrots.

例如，广告重点放在胡萝卜的明亮、美丽的橙色和脆嫩的质地上。

The campaign led to an impressive increase in product sales of more than 10%.

该活动导致产品销量显著增长，超过10%。

The researchers believe that other companies could bolster sales of healthy foods with similar ads, depicting their products as attractive and a source of pleasure.

研究人员认为，其他公司可以通过类似的广告来提升健康食品的销量，将他们的产品描绘成有吸引力且带来乐趣的来源。

The household cleaning products industry really began to take off in the 1950s.

家用清洁产品行业真正开始腾飞是在20世纪50年代。

Prior to that, resourceful housewives who had grown up in a less prosperous era relied on substances that they used in their kitchens, such as vinegar used to clean windows.

在此之前，那些在不够繁荣时代长大的精明主妇们依赖于她们在厨房使用的物质，比如用来清洁窗户的醋。

Today, the household cleaning products industry is worth billions of dollars a year and is dominated by large global companies.

如今，家用清洁产品行业每年价值数十亿美元，由大型跨国公司主导。

In recent years, however, many countries have witnessed a surge in the number of small businesses and companies offering more environment-friendly cleaning products.

然而，近年来，许多国家见证了提供更环保清洁产品的小型企业和公司数量的激增。

And they're doing good business, too.

而且它们的生意也很不错。

One reason for this is that consumers are becoming more aware of environment and sustainability issues.

其中一个原因是消费者对环境和可持续性问题越来越关注。

They also want to make their home a safe place, free from toxic chemicals.

他们也想让自己的家成为一个安全的地方，远离有毒化学物质。

The third reason is people's awareness of and knowledge about technology has never been greater.

第三个原因是人们对技术的认知和知识从未如此广泛。

In the past, people might have been skeptical of a new product claimed to be able to achieve amazing cleaning results.

过去，人们对声称能实现惊人清洁效果的新产品可能持怀疑态度。

But they now have faith in technology's ability to do what was once thought impossible.

但现在他们相信技术有能力做到曾经被认为不可能的事情。

There is perhaps no better example of this than a patented cloth sold by one company which remarkably uses only water rather than traditional cleaning products.

也许没有比一家公司销售的专利布更好的例子了，这种布神奇地只用水而不是传统清洁产品。

The company claims its cloth lifts, traps, and removes dirt and bacteria.

该公司声称其布能提起、捕获并清除污垢和细菌。

And considering that people don't see these products in shops or advertised on TV or in the press, it has been a pretty steep rise.

考虑到人们在商店、电视或媒体上看不到这些产品的广告，它的崛起相当迅猛。

Many of the people behind these companies began testing the viability of their products by selling them at local markets.

许多这些公司背后的人最初是通过在当地市场销售来测试他们产品的可行性。

Then, in many cases, customers are doing the marketing for these products by leaving threads of comments on social media praising their virtues.

然后，在许多情况下，顾客通过在社交媒体上留下一连串评论来赞美这些产品的优点，为它们做营销。

There are also TV shows and books dedicated to maintaining home tidiness and cleanliness and the benefits of having a clean home.

还有专门关于保持家居整洁和清洁好处的电视节目和书籍。

Having a safe and clean home might be one thing people feel they can control in an increasingly out-of-control world.

拥有一个安全和清洁的家，可能是人们在日益失控的世界中感觉能掌控的一件事。

And there are social media celebrities.

还有社交媒体名人。

One woman in Britain has become a social media sensation with more than two million followers for her cleaning tips page.

英国一位女性因其清洁技巧页面在社交媒体上引起轰动，拥有超过两百万粉丝。

Throwing spare change into a fountain is a time-honored ritual.

将零钱扔进喷泉是一个由来已久的传统。

Throw a penny into the water, and your wish might come true.

往水里扔一枚便士，你的愿望可能就会实现。

But all that money has to go somewhere.

但所有这些钱总得有个去处。

Otherwise, the growing piles of pennies, quarters, and euros could clog up the fountain's works.

否则，不断堆积的便士、四分之一美元和欧元硬币可能会堵塞喷泉的运作。

Today, I'm going to talk about where all the coins go.

今天，我将谈谈所有这些硬币的去向。

Well, the coins collected can go to all sorts of different places, from fountain maintenance to charity or public service.

嗯，收集到的硬币可以用于各种不同的地方，从喷泉维护到慈善或公共服务。

In New York City, for example, coins collected from fountains in public parks often go towards the fountain's maintenance itself, though entrepreneurs who don't mind getting their hands wet often get to it first.

例如，在纽约市，公共公园喷泉收集到的硬币通常用于喷泉本身的维护，不过不介意弄湿手的企业家们往往先下手。

There are over 50 beautiful, decorative display fountains in New York City parks.

纽约市公园中有超过50座美丽的装饰性展示喷泉。

They are cleaned by the park's staff every few weeks.

它们每隔几周由公园工作人员清洁一次。

But most of the coins have already been removed by entrepreneurial New Yorkers, and there is not a significant amount left to be collected.

但大多数硬币已经被有创业精神的纽约人拿走，剩下的数量不多，不值得收集。

Other cities, though, can pull in a much more serious haul.

然而，其他城市可能收获更多。

Take, for example, Rome's famous Trevi Fountain.

以罗马著名的特雷维喷泉为例。

For hundreds of years, visitors have thrown coins over their shoulder into the fountain to ensure that they will return.

数百年来，游客们一直将硬币过肩扔进喷泉，以确保自己会再次回来。

So many tourists toss in coins that Roman officials have the fountain cleaned every night, reportedly getting as much as $4,000 in loose change from around the world each day.

如此多的游客投入硬币，以至于罗马官员每晚都清洁喷泉，据报道每天能收集到来自世界各地的零钱多达4000美元。

Most of the money collected each night goes towards running a supermarket for the needy, and collecting that cash is serious business.

每晚收集到的大部分钱都用于运营一家为贫困人群服务的超市，而收集这些现金是件严肃的事。

Roman officials have been known to be tough on anyone caught skimming coins from the fountain.

众所周知，罗马官员对任何被抓到从喷泉中偷硬币的人都很严厉。

In one case in 2005, police arrested four fountain cleaners after they were spotted slipping coins into their own pockets after collecting them.

在2005年的一个案例中，警察逮捕了四名喷泉清洁工，因为他们被发现在收集硬币后将其塞进自己的口袋。

Authorities finally caught one notorious thief named Thomas Morgan and banned him from the fountain after he fished out thousands of dollars in change over 34 years using a magnetic stick.

当局最终抓住了一个名叫托马斯·摩根的臭名昭著的窃贼，并禁止他靠近喷泉，因为他用磁棒在34年间捞出了数千美元的零钱。

For the most part, money collected from privately owned fountains in the United States also goes to charity.

在美国，私人拥有的喷泉收集到的钱大部分也用于慈善。

The fountain in New York City's Bryant Park is owned and operated by a not-for-profit corporation, which puts the cash collected by cleaners towards the fountain's own maintenance.

纽约市布莱恩特公园的喷泉由一个非营利性公司拥有和运营，该公司将清洁工收集到的现金用于喷泉本身的维护。

Tens of thousands of dollars in coins removed from wishing wells, fountains, and ponds in Florida's Walt Disney World are donated each year to support foster children living in the state.

每年，从佛罗里达州的迪士尼世界的许愿池、喷泉和池塘中取出的数万美元硬币都捐赠给该州的寄养儿童。

Whether or not your wish comes true after tossing a coin into a fountain, you can rest assured knowing that the change is likely going to someone who needs it.

无论你往喷泉里扔硬币后愿望是否实现，你都可以放心，因为这些零钱很可能流向了需要它的人。
