恩,谢谢. 我下载过sss的mp3和文本,今天才知道sss就是60 sec啊.

哈哈哈~Rose现在幡然醒悟也不晚~
我来贴一句句子，我最近听的SSS里面的，语法上有点疑问。大家懂的话帮忙解决一下~
But new research suggests that it’s not the fat makes the roars, it’s the shape of vocal chords themselves.
感觉中减少了一个连接词？但是原文文本是这样。语法上能成立吗？

最后，每日一顶！小A加油！坚持就是胜利~！

但是新的研究显示不是脂肪造成了roars(响声?没有上下文不好解释),而是声带的形状(省略造成了roars.)

猴子,口语里不用太计较语法,只要句子的意思不产生歧义就行了.

28. The Buzz Is That Elephants Fear Bees


Habitat destruction raises the risk of unhappy interactions between elephants and people. But harnessing elephants' natural fear of bees may be a solution. Cynthia Graber reports.


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


Elephants squeeze into ever smaller habitats as people move into their territory.  And this causes problems.  Hungry elephants can charge into villages and towns, destroying crops and buildings. Sometimes people respond by shooting. But these conflicts between humans and elephants may soon get some help from a simple, low-tech solution: bees.  It turns out elephants are afraid of them.


It was known that elephants went out of their way to avoid bees. So scientists in Kenya decided to test whether bees could be used deliberately to scare elephants off. They recorded sounds of disturbed hives. Then they placed those recordings near trees around known elephant families. In other trees they placed a control, a white noise buzz. Within just over a minute, sixteen of seventeen elephant families had fled the scene of the bee sounds. Half of them split within only the first ten seconds. In contrast, none left the white noise in the first ten seconds, and only four moved away after a minute. Scientists believe that beehives may be one more tool to help avoid elephant-human clashes,- not to mention the money to be made from selling honey. A winning solution all around.

听了这篇,基本意思明白.place a control这里一开始没有听太清楚.发现60 sec里有些实验会设置control(样本).现在听60 sec,比一开始的时候好多了,可能慢慢适应语速了吧,也可能和文章的内容有关.还有发现60 sec的文章结构都差不多.

29和前面的重复了。直接上30！~~凑个整数。
30. Fireflies' Flash May Make Them Meals


Fireflies who announce their availability with lots of light also risk becoming fast food. Karen Hopkin reports.


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


When it comes to courtship, females do favor flashier males. Just take a look at the peacock and his brilliant come-hither tailfeathers. And when it comes to fireflies, females are drawn to males whose flash is rapid and strong.  But if the gals like bigger brighter displays, what keeps males from evolving a light show as luminous as a guy in a convertible with a dozen gold chains around his neck?  Well, it turns out that male fireflies that are too obvious are more likely to get eaten. Or so say scientists at Tufts University, in the November issue of American Naturalist.


To determine why fireflies don’t go all out when it comes to illumination, the Tufts team set out to uncover the hidden costs of producing light. They found that flashing doesn’t put much of a strain on a firefly’s energy reserves. So it’s not that they’re trying to avoid burn-out—they’re trying to avoid becoming take-out. Because bugs who flash too fast tend to attract more than the light-of-their-lives. They attract predatory fireflies looking for a snack. And, sad to say, their last thoughts probably are something like, “Look at me!  Look at me!  Look at me!  [CHOMP] Look at…”

今天听了这篇.觉得有点难的.听完2遍的时候,只听出讲和flash和光有关的内容.

这句没有听出来(what keeps males from evolving a lightshow as luminous as a guy in a convertible with a dozen gold chains around his neck? )

gal: a girl or young woman

take-out: food that is cooked and sold by a restaurant orstore to be eaten elsewhere



还有,文章有一个小错误. 原文:And when it comes to fireflies, females are drawn to males whose flash is rapid and strong.
实际:And when the suitors are fireflies, it turns out females are drawn...
