Passage 1.

篇章1。

Pet dogs can often readily understand a wide range of their owner's commands and gestures.

宠物狗通常能轻易理解主人多种多样的命令和手势。

But are these abilities inborn, or are they exclusively learned through training?

但这些能力是天生的，还是仅仅通过训练学来的？

To find out, a new study examined whether stray dogs could understand human gestures.

为了弄清楚这一点，一项新研究考察了流浪狗是否能理解人类手势。

The study revealed that 80% of participating dogs successfully followed pointing gestures to a specific location, despite having never received prior training.

研究显示，80%的参与狗成功地跟随指向特定位置的手势，尽管它们从未接受过事先训练。

The results suggest that dogs can understand complex gestures by simply watching humans.

结果表明，狗可以通过简单地观察人类来理解复杂的手势。

This could have implications in reducing conflict between stray dogs and humans.

这可能在减少流浪狗与人类之间的冲突方面有启示意义。

Dogs were domesticated 10,000 to 15,000 years ago.

狗在1万到1.5万年前被驯化。

This means they are probably the oldest domesticated animals on the planet.

这意味着它们可能是地球上最古老的驯化动物。

Humans then bred dogs with the most desirable and useful traits so that they could function as companions and workers.

人类随后培育出具有最理想和实用特征的狗，使它们能够作为伴侣和工作者。

This resulted in domesticated dogs that are highly responsive to human commands and gestures.

这导致了驯化狗对人类命令和手势高度响应。

However, it was not clear whether dogs understand us through training alone, or whether this was an inherent ability.

然而，不清楚狗是仅通过训练理解我们，还是这是一种内在能力。

Why does this matter?

为什么这很重要？

Stray dogs are a common feature in cities around the world.

流浪狗是世界各城市的常见特征。

They may observe and occasionally interact with people.

它们可能观察并偶尔与人互动。

But such dogs have never been trained and are, behaviorally, wild.

但这些狗从未受过训练，在行为上属于野生。

Conflicts between stray dogs and humans are a problem.

流浪狗与人类之间的冲突是一个问题。

Understanding how humans shape stray dogs' behavior may help alleviate this problem.

理解人类如何塑造流浪狗的行为可能有助于缓解这个问题。

According to the researchers of the new study, stray dogs are intelligent creatures.

根据新研究的研究人员，流浪狗是聪明的生物。

They closely observe humans and use their understanding of us to make a decision.

它们密切观察人类，并利用对我们理解来做决定。

Treating stray dogs with sensitivity and respect, and giving them space, the researchers assert, can reduce much conflict.

研究人员断言，以敏感和尊重对待流浪狗，并给它们空间，可以减少很多冲突。

Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.

问题9至11基于你刚才听到的篇章。

Question 9. What does the passage say about 80% of participating dogs in the new study?

问题9。篇章关于新研究中80%的参与狗说了什么？

Question 11. What do the researchers suggest we do to reduce conflicts between stray dogs and humans?

问题11。研究人员建议我们做什么来减少流浪狗与人类之间的冲突？

Passage 2.

第二段。

Think your refrigerator is just one big box of evenly cold air?

你是否认为冰箱只是一个均匀冷空气的大盒子？

Not so.

并非如此。

The temperature inside the average fridge actually varies from front to back, bottom to top, and everywhere in between.

普通冰箱内部的温度实际上从前到后、从底到顶以及其间各处都有所不同。

Because of this, food product placement within the appliance is far more important than you probably realize.

因此，冰箱内的食物摆放位置可能比你意识到的要重要得多。

The whole purpose of the modern refrigerator is to slow the growth of bacteria which thrive in temperatures from 4.

现代冰箱的全部目的是减缓细菌的生长，这些细菌在温度从4

4 to 60 degrees Celsius.

到60摄氏度的环境中繁殖。

As a result, refrigerators are typically set at or below that low end to protect foods against bacteria.

因此，冰箱通常设置在或低于这个低温端，以保护食物免受细菌侵害。

Although it might seem like time spent organizing the fridge will spoil your day, doing so will actually make it more user-friendly, easier to clean, and food safety conscious.

尽管花时间整理冰箱可能会破坏你的一天心情，但实际上这样做会使其更用户友好、更易清洁，并更注重食品安全。

Those little bins on the inside of refrigerator doors are convenient, but they don't maintain a consistent temperature.

冰箱门内侧的那些小储物格很方便，但它们不能保持恒定的温度。

So definitely refrain from putting perishable foods in there.

所以绝对不要把易腐食物放在那里。

The top area is not as cold as the bottom of the fridge, so save it for the foods that don't need extra chilly temperatures.

顶部区域不像冰箱底部那么冷，所以把它留给不需要额外低温的食物。

Store foods that are ready to eat or already cooked on the top shelf.

将即食或已烹饪的食物存放在顶层架子上。

The middle shelf is the most temperature-controlled part of the fridge, so place eggs here.

中间层架子是冰箱中温度控制最好的部分，所以将鸡蛋放在这里。

Drinks and prepared foods can also live on the middle shelf if you run out of room up top.

如果顶层空间不足，饮料和准备好的食物也可以放在中间层架子上。

The back of the bottom shelf is the coldest spot in the fridge, so store perishable dairy products here to keep them edible longer.

底层架子的后部是冰箱中最冷的地方，所以将易腐的乳制品存放在这里，以延长其可食用时间。

Never store foods with high water content here because the water within them can and will freeze, effectively ruining them.

绝不要把高水分含量的食物存放在这里，因为它们内部的水分会结冰，从而实际上毁坏食物。

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

问题12到15基于你刚刚听到的篇章。

Question 12. Why is food product placement within the fridge very important?

问题12。为什么冰箱内的食物摆放位置非常重要？

Question 13. What does the passage say is the whole purpose of the modern refrigerator?

问题13。篇章中说现代冰箱的全部目的是什么？

Question 14. Where in the fridge should we store foods already cooked?

问题14。我们应该将已烹饪的食物存放在冰箱的哪里？

Question 15. Why should we never store foods with high water content at the back of the bottom shelf?

问题15。为什么我们绝不要把高水分含量的食物存放在底层架子的后部？

My current research is mainly looking at factors like stress and how it affects our immune system.

我目前的研究主要关注压力等因素及其如何影响我们的免疫系统。

So the current projects that I'm quite excited about are looking at older people and factors that are important to them.

因此，我目前相当兴奋的项目是关注老年人及其对他们重要的因素。

In one project, we're looking at hip fracture in older people, which is a common event, and we're trying to understand the impact of depression.

在一个项目中，我们关注老年人的髋部骨折，这是一个常见事件，并试图理解抑郁的影响。

Often, people in hospital with a hip fracture develop depression, and these are the people that then go on to become feeble a lot more quickly than others.

通常，住院的髋部骨折患者会发展出抑郁，这些人随后会比其他人更快地变得虚弱。

They get infections.

他们会感染。

Often, these infections lead to death.

通常，这些感染会导致死亡。

So we're trying to slow down that progression to feebleness.

因此，我们试图减缓向虚弱的进展。

So if we can better understand how these factors interact, then we can actually start doing something about it.

所以，如果我们能更好地理解这些因素如何相互作用，那么我们就可以真正开始采取行动。

The impact that my research will have in Birmingham, first of all, is obviously for older people, because these are the people that are having hip fractures and developing depression, and we're trying to improve their health and their quality of life.

我的研究在伯明翰的影响，首先，显然是对老年人，因为这些人正在经历髋部骨折和抑郁，我们试图改善他们的健康和生活质量。

But this isn't just a problem in Birmingham or even in the UK.

但这不仅仅是伯明翰或甚至英国的问题。

This is a problem globally.

这是一个全球性问题。

People are aging.

人们正在老龄化。

There's a lot more people in the older generation who are living for longer, but not necessarily staying healthy for a large part of their lives.

老年一代中有更多人寿命更长，但不一定在大部分生活中保持健康。

So the last part of their life can often be full of ill health, and we're trying to understand factors that can contribute to the quality of life later on.

因此，他们生命的最后部分往往充满疾病，我们试图理解能影响晚年生活质量的因素。

I think the thing that excites me most about my research is that it feels real and relevant.

我认为我的研究最让我兴奋的是它感觉真实且相关。

Lots of academics are probably very excited about their research, but it might not be that relevant to those around them, whereas I feel that the work I do is relevant to everyone, because everyone is aging.

许多学者可能对他们的研究非常兴奋，但它可能与周围的人不太相关，而我感觉我做的工作与每个人都相关，因为每个人都在老龄化。

Health is an issue for everyone regardless of their age, and what I'm trying to do is understand the factors that affect health and how we can improve the quality of life in people.

健康是每个人的问题，无论年龄大小，我试图做的是理解影响健康的因素以及我们如何改善人们的生活质量。

So that's one of the things that really excites me about it.

所以这是真正让我兴奋的事情之一。

One of the other things is, rather than just taking one perspective, so rather than looking at aging and health just from the perspective of the psychologist, we are now bringing together a lot of different techniques and a lot of different viewpoints to actually look at the sort of different factors affecting health.

另一点是，不仅仅是采取单一视角，而是不仅仅从心理学家的角度看待老龄化和健康，我们现在正在汇集许多不同的技术和观点，以真正研究影响健康的各种不同因素。

Americans are obsessed with celebrity chefs.

美国人对名厨着迷。

We talk about them and try to eat like them, but could we learn something more from them than recipes and techniques?

我们谈论他们并尝试像他们一样饮食，但我们能从他们那里学到比食谱和技巧更多的东西吗？

According to Market Data Enterprises, Americans spend nearly 10 billion dollars a year on self-help and personal organization products.

根据市场数据企业，美国人每年在自助和个人组织产品上花费近100亿美元。

The market is huge, partly because most colleges and graduate schools don't teach basic organization, but cooking schools and professional kitchens do.

这个市场巨大，部分原因是大多数学院和研究生院不教授基本组织，但烹饪学校和专业厨房会教。

Perhaps the principles of cooking organization can be extended to help even those of us who aren't top chefs.

也许烹饪组织的原则可以扩展，以帮助我们这些不是顶级厨师的人。

The system that makes kitchens function is called mise en place or literally put in place.

使厨房运作的系统称为mise en place，字面意思是‘就位’。

It's a French phrase that means to gather and arrange the ingredients and tools needed for cooking.

这是一个法语短语，意思是收集和安排烹饪所需的原料和工具。

But for many professional cooks, the phrase means something deeper.

但对许多专业厨师来说，这个短语有更深层的含义。

Some cooks call it their religion.

一些厨师称其为他们的宗教。

It helps them coordinate vast amounts of labor and material and transforms the lives of its practitioners through focus and self-discipline.

它帮助他们协调大量的劳动和材料，并通过专注和自律转变从业者的生活。

Students at the Culinary Institute of America view it as a way of life.

美国烹饪学院的学生将其视为一种生活方式。

It's a way of concentrating their mind to only focus on the aspects that they need to be working on at the moment to kind of rid themselves of distractions.

这是一种集中注意力、只专注于他们此刻需要工作的方面，以摆脱干扰的方式。

And it's a habit that some students carry with them even when they're not in the kitchen.

而且这是一种习惯，一些学生甚至在不在厨房时也会保持。

They mise en place their life.

他们将mise en place应用于生活。

They set up their books for class.

他们为上课准备书籍。

They set up their chef whites.

他们准备好厨师服。

They shine their shoes.

他们擦亮鞋子。

They know everything that they need every step of the day.

他们知道一天中每一步所需的一切。

Then how does one attain this level of organization?

那么，一个人如何达到这种组织水平呢？

The key to high-level organization is the mindset.

高水平组织的关键是心态。

Cooks can easily do six hours of preparation for a three-hour dinner shift.

厨师可以轻松地为三个小时的晚餐班次做六个小时的准备工作。

Mise en place forces cooks to account for every minute of their time and every movement.

Mise en place迫使厨师考虑他们每一分钟的时间和每一个动作。

Every component of one single dish is in one single corner.

每道菜的每个组成部分都放在一个角落。

So their hand literally moves inches, explains Duane Limpuma, an instructor at the Culinary Institute of America.

所以他们的手实际上只移动几英寸，杜安·林普马解释说，他是美国烹饪学院的讲师。

Once students set up their station, I should be able to cover up their eyes and they should know that their knives are always here.

一旦学生设置了他们的工作站，我应该能够蒙上他们的眼睛，他们应该知道他们的刀总是在这里。

Their oil is always right here.

他们的油总是在这里。

Their salt and pepper is always right here.

他们的盐和胡椒总是在这里。

But practiced at its highest level, mise en place says that time is precious.

但在最高水平上实践，mise en place表明时间是宝贵的。

Resources are precious.

资源是宝贵的。

Space is precious.

空间是宝贵的。

Your self-respect and the respect of others are precious.

你的自尊和他人的尊重是宝贵的。

Use them wisely.

明智地使用它们。

Isn't that a philosophy for our time?

这难道不是我们时代的哲学吗？

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the lecture you have just heard.

问题19至22基于你刚刚听到的讲座。

Why do we stop making goals for ourselves and stop progressing in life?

我们为何会停止为自己设定目标，并在生活中停止进步？

One reason is the belief that we should accept who we are and not constantly strive to improve ourselves.

原因之一在于一种信念，即我们应该接受真实的自我，而非不断追求自我提升。

The mistake we make with this is that whilst self-acceptance is imperative, it should actually be used as the basis for growth.

我们的错误在于，尽管自我接纳至关重要，但它实际上应被用作成长的基础。

When we're not growing, learning, and seeking improvements in our lives, we tend to stagnate, accepting what is, and stop believing we can be better.

当我们在生活中不再成长、学习并寻求改进时，往往会停滞不前，安于现状，并停止相信自己可以变得更好。

A key tool for creating goals and progressing is using our imagination.

设定目标与取得进步的一个关键工具是运用我们的想象力。

Yet, as is so often the case, by the time we've reached midlife, we've stopped dreaming about what we want to achieve and feel quite negatively about goal-setting.

然而，情况往往如此：当我们步入中年时，我们已不再梦想自己想实现的目标，并对设定目标感到相当消极。

Instead of feeling confidence, happiness, and satisfaction from achieving our goals, we feel we are always falling short.

我们没有从实现目标中获得自信、快乐和满足感，反而觉得自己总是达不到要求。

That leads to disappointment and we stop dreaming.

这导致失望，于是我们停止了梦想。

We stop imagining the life we'd like to have or the person we'd like to be, quickly finding ourselves shattered by the pain of our reality.

我们不再想象自己想要的生活或想成为的人，而是迅速被现实的痛苦所击垮。

Up until now, unless we work in the creative industry, we've found the idea of using play a bit childish.

迄今为止，除非我们从事创意行业，否则我们一直觉得运用“游戏”的想法有些幼稚。

In the West, we're mostly operating from our heads, the rational mind.

在西方，我们大多凭头脑——即理性思维——行事。

But it's beginning to be better understood because using our imagination is actually one of the most powerful things we could ever do.

但这一点正开始被更好地理解，因为运用想象力实际上是我们所能做的最强大的事情之一。

The problem with finding ourselves irritated for not achieving the goal is because the goal always changes and we're always adapting, whether we realize it or not.

我们因未能实现目标而感到烦躁的问题在于，目标总在变化，我们也在不断调整，无论我们是否意识到。

What happens, therefore, is that we end up feeling like we're never going to reach our goals.

因此，结果就是我们最终觉得自己永远无法达成目标。

And herein lies one of the biggest misconceptions and reasons for failure, dissatisfaction, and unhappiness.

而这正是导致失败、不满和不快乐的最大误解和原因之一。

We measure against the goal rather than where we've come from.

我们衡量的标准是目标本身，而非我们已走过的历程。

Dan Sullivan calls this the gap and the gain.

丹·沙利文将此称为“差距”与“收获”。

We measure always against the goal, which we never feel we're reaching, rather than the gain, that is, where we've come from.

我们总是以目标来衡量——而那目标总让我们觉得无法达到——而不是以“收获”来衡量，即我们已取得的进步。

In measuring where we've come from rather than where we're trying to get to, we see results.

通过衡量我们已取得的进步，而非试图达到的目标，我们才能看到成果。

We see things we've taken for granted or not noticed.

我们能看到那些我们曾视为理所当然或未曾注意的事物。

It's a simple yet profound change in perception.

这是一个简单却深刻的认知转变。

And what I love about it is the power it has to instantly shift us up a gear.

而我欣赏它的原因在于，它有能力立即将我们提升到一个更高的层次。

It's so, so simple yet has an immediate positive impact on our thinking.

它极其简单，却对我们的思维产生立竿见影的积极影响。

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the lecture you have just heard.

第23至25题基于你刚刚听到的讲座内容。
