23.这篇很有趣，偏简单！~~
If you’re like me, somewhere in your closet, or maybe in a drawer, you probably have a pair of pants you hope to someday fit into. Again.But staying on a diet and finding time to exercise—it’s no walk in thepark.
But wait! Before youswear off the spaghetti,scientists at the State University of New York in Stony Brook have stumbledonto a new way to slenderize使苗条. They found that mice that spend 15 minutes a day standing on avibrating platform are leaner than mice who juststand still. Their results appear in the current online edition of theProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
All the animals in the experiment wereallowed to eat their fill. After 15weeks, the shaken mice didn’t actually weigh any less. But compared to the micewho hung out on a stationary platform, they had about 30 percent less fataround their middles.
The SUNY scientists think that the jiggling颤抖kept fat cells fromforming. Whether it would do the same for people, you never know. And here youthought New Yorkers were lean and mean because they’re always in a hurryrushing here and there. Maybe it’s because they spend so much time standing onvibrating subway platforms, waiting for the uptown住宅区express.

This is Scientific American 60-Second Science. I am Steve Mirsky. Got a minute?
The 12-year tenure of New York Yankees’ manager Joe Torre ended last week. At a Science Conference in 2000, Washington post baseball writer Tom Boswell discussed Torre’s success in terms of the principlesset forth in a book called Influence: The Psychology ofPersuasion, by Robert Cialdini. Scientific American went on to commission a February 2001 article by Cialdini, available at sciamdigital.com. The piece discussed six major persuasion factors, which Torre used to such great effect.
One is reciprocity---you are more likely to go out of your way for someone who has done so for you. The second is consistency---acting consistently shows people you can be trusted. Third, social validation---get enough people on the same page and the rest will likely followed due to peer pressure. Fourth is simply likeability---people are more likely to respond to somebody they like. Fifth is authority---Torre’s quiet dignity and outstanding record as a player himself gave him great authority with players. And sixth is the scarcity---things in limited supply are more desirable, which should make the one and only Joe Torre a hot commodity on the baseball market.
Thanks for the minute, for Scientific American 60-Second Science. I am Steve Mirsky.

22.Height Affects Perception of Health


Data from England show that shorter people perceive their health as being poorer than tall or average-height people do. Steve Mirsky reports.


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


Height is correlated with a lot of things.  Up to a certain height, taller people make more money than the vertically challenged.  And the taller presidential candidate almost always wins.  Now a study finds that your height as an adult has a profound effect on your perception of your health.  Short people judge their health to be worse than average or tall people judge theirs.  The research was published in the journal Clinical Endocrinology.


Data for the study came from the 2003 Health Survey for England.  More than 14,000 participants filled out questionnaires and had their heights measured.  The study only looked at how good the subject thought his or her health was, not their actual health.  Questions focused on five areas: mobility, self-care, normal activities, pain or discomfort and anxiety or depression.  Men shorter than about 5’4” and women shorter than 5’ reported the worst impressions.  But small increases in height at the low end had much bigger effects on perception than the same increases among taller people.  Other studies have shown, ironically, that shorter people on average actually live longer.

今天听了22, 感觉还行.感觉这句比较难. But small increases in height at the low end had much bigger effects on perception than the same increases among taller people.

24.Joe Torre and the Psychology of Persuasion

The 12-year tenure ofNew York Yankees manager Joe Torre ended lastweek.  At a science conference in 2000, Washington Postbaseball writer Tom Boswell discussed Torre’s success in terms of theprinciples set forth in a book calledInfluence: The Psychology of Persuasion, by Robert Cialdini.  Scientific American went on to commission aFebruary 2001 article byCialdini, available at sciamdigital.com. The piece discusses six major persuasion factors, which Torre used tosuch great effect.
One is reciprocity—you’remore likely to go so for you.  第一句死活没听出来是Yankee棒球，直接影响全文的理解！首句还是很重要的！~~
The second is consistency—actingconsistently shows people you can be trusted.Third, social validation—get enoughpeople on the same page and the rest will likelyfollow due to peer pressure.  
Fourth is simply likeability—people are more likely to respond to somebodythey like.  
Fifth is authority—Torre’squiet dignity and outstanding record as aplayer himself gave him greatauthority with players.  
And sixth is scarcity—things in limited supplyare more desirable.  Which should makethe one and only Joe Torre a hot commodity on the baseball market.
