Searching for the next big thing: Baidu turns to personal transport for growth
阅读时间：4’36 总结时间：19’09 总时长：28’11
大意：百度在广告部分盈利下降后，对在线娱乐、云储存、智能驾驶等行业的布局
分论点：
P1-P3：百度因国内没有大的竞争对手（谷歌）靠卖广告赚了很多钱，但疫情以来这部分收入下降了。就算疫情和经济恢复，这部分收入也比不上以前的增长，因为有很多其他平台瓜分流量
P4：百度寻求出路：在线娱乐行业和云储存行业，以及智能驾驶
P5-P6：智能驾驶可能目前不能创造收益，但长远来看潜力无穷。这项业务分三方面：①在全国的robotaxis上安装apollo自动驾驶技术②大量生产电动汽车③通过向汽车制造商售卖高清地图等服务快速盈利。最后态度：投资者观望中。
摘抄：Businesses can now choose from an array of platforms on which to hawk their wares—from addictive video apps like Kuaishou to e-commerce upstarts like Pinduoduo.

Wound Dressing
阅读时间：3’40 总结时间：20’15 总时长：26’47
大意：对于一种新型的伤口敷料的研究
分论点：
P1：目前常使用含银的伤口敷料来阻断人在受伤后细菌感染，但这个方法有缺点，可能会阻止人自己细胞的再生。现在研究一种新方法，只有在细菌攻击的时候起作用。
P2：做实验，把这个组织分别和有害的和无害的细菌放一起，发现不影响无害的，阻止了有害的细菌生长。
P3：虽然在实验中成功，但是运用到实际医疗中还需要克服很多困难
P4：更多的尝试：比如延长实效，放不同种的抗体。SS的一个态度：现在说这个新方法会特别有效还太早。
摘抄：This suggests that the harmful bacteria did in fact release toxin or enzymes that busted open the vesicles, unleashing the antibiotic inside and sealing their own fate.
有害细菌释放的毒素或酶破坏了囊泡，（前面这一个动作）释放了抗体并确保了它们自己的命运。
