洪欣老師推薦:托福聽力最好的課外教材:60-Second Science
康康精選托福會考的主題,堅持每天精聽一定會進步的哦!!

建議方法:
1. 先聽兩三遍 (不看文稿)
2. 再一句一句聽寫 (每句都要聽寫數遍,直到寫出85%以上的字)
3. 最後check文稿,看哪聽不出來,單字沒背過,還是發音不熟。
4. 堅持天天聽,就能每天進步哦。

只有音檔怎夠,聽不懂地方,不用怕,康康幫你準備好中英文稿了:

 中英文稿:
You post photos on social media sites for the enjoyment of your family and friends. But your snapshots are also a potential gold mine of information about what you spend money on for those sites and the companies that advertise on them.
你將照片上傳到社會媒體網站上,是為了可以和家人朋友分享樂趣。但是對於那些網站和那些在這些網站上做廣告的公司來說,你的快照們就是可以挖掘你消費偏好等重要信息的潛在金礦。

Artificial intelligence software is on the horizon that can spot brands like Nike or Coke even in images without text or tags. Google, Facebook and other deep-pocketed investors are accelerating this software's development. Even startup photo-sharing service Pinterest got in on the action earlier this year by buying the even more 「start-uppy」 VisualGraph, whose software could be used to find and link photos with similar content.
即將到來的人工智能軟件,將能夠識別耐克或可口可樂等品牌,即使這些圖像上沒有文本或品牌標籤。谷歌,Facebook和其他財力雄厚的投資者們正在努力 加速開發這種軟件。甚至是開創照片共享服務網站的品趣志,也已在今年早些時候就開始行動,該公司收購了更為新興的北京圖王軟件公司,北京圖王軟件公司的軟 件可以用來發現和發現並鏈接到有著相似內容的圖片。

In general the software winning these investments uses machine vision, image recognition and/or visual search algorithms to identify objects and shapes as well as textures. One startup called Ditto Labs makes a search engine that specifically examines digital images for logos and brands.
通常那些可以贏得投資商青睞的軟件都是使用機器視覺、圖像識別和視覺搜索算法,來對目標、其形狀和紋理材質進行識別的。有一家名叫Ditto Labs的創業公司研發了一個搜索引擎,該搜索引擎是專門用來檢索數字圖像中的商品的商標或品牌的。

So next time you're chowing down in McDonald's, smile for that selfie. You're feeding that company's bottom line and probably helping a tech startup earn its next million. On second thought, why are YOU smiling?
— Larry Greenemeier
因此,下一次你要是當你在麥當勞大吃大喝,並微笑著玩自拍時,這樣做無異於是在為麥當勞公司增加收入,或許還是在幫助某一個科技創業公司賺取下一個一百萬。仔細考慮一下,你為什麼笑呢?——拉里‧格林邁耶
