 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：
This year, the number of mobile phones on cell networks is expected to surpass the Earth's population. "More people now own cell phones than actually have access to working toilets." James Meadow, a microbial ecologist at the University of Oregon. Hidden in the data is the reality that some people work on their phones…on toilets.
今年手機使用者使用手機網路的數量有望超過全球總人口的數量。俄勒岡大學的微生物生態學家詹姆斯•梅多說：“現在越來越多有手機的人利用手機在廁所工作。”根據隱藏的資料顯示，現在的實際情況是有一些人在廁所用手機工作。

If that grosses you out, consider this: "So it turns out we're just really leaky animals. We just, we leave our bacteria everywhere we go." Including, of course, our phones.
如果你不太懂這個是什麼意思，可以這樣想想：人本身就是走到哪就把細菌帶到哪的動物，我們去每一個地方都會留下我們的細菌。”當然包括我們的電話。

Meadow and his colleagues took a census of the bacteria on thumbs and index fingers of 17 volunteers—and on their smartphone touch screens. Overall, they ID’ed over 7,000 types.
梅多和他的同事對17名志願者的拇指和食指以及他們手機螢幕上的細菌做了調查，總的來說，他們一共確認的就有7000多種細菌。

Looking at just the most common bacteria, those that appear more than 0.1 percent of the time, they found an 82 percent similarity between the microbiomes of fingers and phones. Meaning our phones are a pretty good mirror of ourselves, microbially, at least. The results appear in the journal PeerJ. [James F. Meadow, Adam E. Altrichter and Jessica L. Green, Mobile phones carry the personal microbiome of their owners]
就只看一下這最長見的細菌，出現的就多 ，他們發現在手指和手機上的菌群有82%的細菌相似。這就說明我們的手機使我們自己很好的鏡子，至少能反映自身所潛藏的微生物。這份研究結果發表在PeerJ 雜誌上。

"We have always been covered in bacteria… and we will always be covered in bacteria." So the fact that our phones are also covered in bacteria is no reason for concern. In fact, the researchers say that mobile phones may hold untapped potential as personal microbiome sensors. App developers, take note.
—Christopher Intagliata
“我們一直被細菌所包圍，而且我們將會一直被細菌包圍。”所以毋庸置疑的事實就是我們的手機也被細菌所包圍。實際上，研究人員稱，手機可能有作為個人微生物感測器的未被開發的潛能。應用程式開發商們，要注意嘍!——克裡斯多夫•利亞塔。
