其实我比较喜欢听当天sss的更新，刚开始几天 今天在寝室学习，有网络，下个LZ的版本听听，共勉~ 晚点把我的听写稿也上传上来~哈哈

完成任务~我把我的听写稿贴上来
2011-10-28 (20)
This is Scientific American’s 60-Second Science. I am Karen Hopkins. This
will just take a minute.
Ben Franklin said that there is nothing certain but death and taxes. Today,
Scientists might add global warming to that list. But though most scientists
are certain that more CO2 means toastier globe, what they can’t pin down is
how much warmer it’s going to get.
If that sound like a forecast only Heisenberg could love, well, too bad---
That’s just the way it is. Or so say researchers (the researchers) at the university
of Washington in Seattle in the October 26th issue of journal Science.
The researchers were (are) working on equations to help climatologists (the
climatologist) (to) get the most out of their climate model. The current models,
run on decades’worth of data, predict that we could be looking at a planet that’s
2 to5 degrees warmer, althoughthere is a chanceit (or the chances) could be
close to 10.

What the researchers discovered is that no matter how much data the scientists
feed into their model, they are never going to get a more precise estimate of
the high end than that.
Perhaps the findings willencourage policymakers (the policy maker) to act now,
rather than calling for more data before making any decision about the environment.
(to make the environment better.) Or the lack of the definitive info about the worst
case scenarios could give climate change skeptics an excuse to try to tableany action.

发帖对我这种论坛菜鸟太难了，word里贴上去格式还会各种变化…… LZ怎么处理的，到回复栏里慢慢调整吗？辛酸==
今天比较闲，还做了份注释，一起贴上来。比较建议LZ把改听Scientific American官网上每日更新的SSS，提供的文本也权威一点。在LZ找的文本里发现了几个错误，这样要担心文本问题也许会影响复习效率。小建议~LZ继续坚持，我太懒不知道能不能每天跟 加油~！hoho

出错地方用黄色标出了。

20. Prediction of Global Warming High May Be Impossible
Researchers find that, no matter how much data they collect, they may not be able to get a good estimate of the highest temperature increases that global warming may bring. Karen Hopkins reports. Also see tinyurl.com/29z39x广告？……

Ben Franklin said that nothing’s certain but death and taxes.经典名言，可以借鉴哦！Today, scientists might add global warming to that list. But though most scientists are certain that more CO2 means a toastier globe, what they can’t pin down is how much warmer it’s going to get.

toasty – warm and comfortable
pin down – to understand something clearly or be able to describe it exactly
If that – 此处为“就像”听起来像是…… Or so say – 正如这些研究者们所说……
feed into – to put information into a computer over a period of time
definitive – not changed definite – clearly known, seen, or stated
table – leave to be dealt in the future

a forecast only Heisenberg could love – why？不知道什么意思，求解。

LZ被我抓到偷懒了！哈哈哈~

我自觉跟啊，多不容易 LZ你去哪儿玩了…… 你不在我帮你贴一天~这是我听的版本
我采用的方法是，前8遍用抓抓的，听、记、看、读，懂了之后再听写。整句听写。
仍然压力很大。    我附件好像上传失败，就不传了。论坛菜鸟就是我==

App Turns iPhone into spiPhone

An iPhone app can enable the smart phone to tell what somebody is typing on a nearby computer keyboard. Christopher Intagliata reports

October 26, 2011 |6

Used to be if spies wanted to eavesdrop, they planted a bug. These days, it's much easier. Because we all carry potential bugs in our pockets—smartphones. One team of researchers used an iPhone to track typing on a nearby computer keyboard with up to 80 percent accuracy. They presented the findings at a computer security conference in Chicago
. [Philip Marquardt et al., (sp)iPhone: Decoding Vibrations from Nearby Keyboards Using Mobile Phone Accelerometers, 18th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security]
The researchers designed a malicious app for the iPhone 4. When you place the phone near a keyboard, it exploits accelerometer and gyroscope data to sense vibrations as the victim types—detecting whether keystrokes come from the left or right side of the keyboard, and how near or far subsequent keys are from each other. Then, using that seismic fingerprint, the app checks a pre-created "vibrational" dictionary for the most likely words—a technique that works reliably on words of three letters or more.

Of course, you'd need to install the app to allow it to spy. But whereas most apps have to ask permission to access location data or the camera, that's not so for the accelerometer. This kind of attack may offer a good reason to limit accelerometer access too—and keep iPhones from becoming "spiPhones."

1-4遍听得糊里糊涂的，笔记只听出个别细节。有个问题，听力笔记如何做最好？
5-6遍多听出一些，7-8跟读完全跟不上……这篇太快了
This is Scientific American 60-Second Science. I am Christopher Intagliata. Got a minute?

我这几天家里不能上网，所以没有跟着听写。小A加油啊！

神猴童鞋，谢谢顶贴啦！~~吼吼
昨天没有传新的，是因为之前就有计划把1-20重新听了一遍，复习了一下下。。。so。。。
今天会及时传新文本哒！~
关于选材，我所用的60s是XDF老师给的，可能有针对托福挑选过吧，一共有100+篇，感觉方便就用现成的了。文本大体是没有什么问题的。开场白神马的就不用理会了。。。小猴子很细心啊，貌似每一句都听写了！~
关于上传，其实偶也不太在行，基本操作是在word复制，然后在论坛点击回复，选择有word标志的图标，复制上去就可以了。写字板的话就要重新排版了。


加油，go on....

21. First Land Vertebrates Probably Had Color Vision


DNA from the retinas of lungfish, the closest living relatives to the first terrestrial vertebrates, is closer to retinal DNA from land animals than to retinal DNA from fish. The first land creatures thus probably had decent color vision. Steve Mirsky reports.


----------------


Look before you leap, the old adage has it.  Well, it seems that the animals that first ventured out onto the land from the sea were well equipped to look when they made that leap.  Researchers studied the retinas of the eyes of lungfish, which are thought to be the closest living relatives to the first vertebrates that lived on land.  Lungfish use gills to take in oxygen, but can also breathe air if necessary.  And they live in shallow freshwater habitats with a lot of light.  So it would make sense that they could see pretty well in a nearly terrestrial environment.


And indeed, DNA in the genes for visual pigments in the retinas of the lungfish turned out to be much closer to the sequences found in four-legged animals than with other kinds of fish.  The work appears in the journal Biomed Central Evolutionary Biology.


So the early land-dwellers were probably pre-adapted to seeing well in their new environment, which must have come in handy for finding food and mates.  How did the first creatures that crawled out of the sea smell?  robably pretty bad.
