當你在查看你的電子郵件時,你開始幻想著暑假該去哪里。這提醒了你要比較一下當?shù)亟∩矸康某杀尽H缓竽阃蝗粵Q定找個地方來辦你的生日聚會。
你可能會認為你在瀏覽互聯(lián)網時有點有點心不在焉。事實上,你是在“閑逛”。根據一家金融網站的一項調查,近七分之七的網民承認了這種新命名的習慣。YuGv對2400人進行的研究發(fā)現(xiàn),超過四分之一的互聯(lián)網用戶每月兩天在閑逛——“我在找什么?”的首字母縮寫。
GMTV的常駐生活教練和激勵者皮特·科恩說:“阻止你自己閑逛需要計劃和意志力。現(xiàn)在有各種各樣的網站都吸引著我們的注意。互聯(lián)網用戶需要為自己設定一個特定的沖浪目標和一個時間限制來保持正軌。”
在網上活動中購物最有可能讓用戶閑逛。男性比女性更容易承認自己閑逛。三分之一的受訪者表示,這種習慣損害了他們與伴侶的關系。好消息是,閑逛是人們逐漸養(yǎng)成的習慣。55歲或以上的互聯(lián)網用戶喜歡上網的可能性比25歲以下的用戶低三倍。
來自mneysupermartet.cm的JasnLiyed說:“互聯(lián)網的設計是為了讓人們更容易快速、方便地獲取他們需要的信息。雖然人們登錄是有目的的,但他們現(xiàn)在得到了如此多的選擇和網絡干擾,以至于許多人忘記了他們在那里的目的,而是花幾個小時漫無目的地閑逛。重要的是,人們在上網時不要允許不必要的網絡干擾,因為它會影響工作效率和家里的人際關系。“你在網上閑逛嗎?”

When is it right t trust yur instincts(本能)?
When asked abut the surce f his genius, Albert Einstein had n dubts. "I believe in intuitins(直覺) and inspiratins(靈感). I smetimes feel that I am right. I d nt knw that I am." It was much better t trust thse instincts and test them later than t dismiss(不考慮) them ut f hand, he said.
Yu may r_____1_____ the sense yurself. Whether yu are lking at a new apartment, cnsidering a pssible new jb r judging smene's hnesty, yu may have an ineffable(妙不可言的) hunch(預感) when smething is right r wrng—w_____2_____ being able t express the reasns fr yur judgement clearly.
It’s easy t view ur instincts as a kind f mysterius 'sixth sense', but there is n need t use the paranrmal(超自然) t explain intuitin. In the past 20 years, psychlgists(心理學家) and neurscientists(神經科學家) have made great p_____3_____ in identifying(確認) the surces f ur instincts, and their essential rle in ur lives.
Alng the way, their research has identified the specific situatins in which ur intuitin is likely t lead us dwn the right path, and the times that it leads us astray(迷路)—knwledge that can help us all t make better d_____4_____.
Peple tend t be mre accurate at judging smene's hnesty—and whether they are lying abut a particular event—if they are asked t g with their intuitins, c_____5_____ t when they are asked t think it thrugh and describe their reasns.
In ther situatins, the strength f ur intuitins will depend n ur e_____6_____. The uncnscius(潛意識的) brain rifles(快速搜尋) thrugh its stred knwledge t find the best answer t ur prblems, withut us cnsciusly recalling the accurate memries that prduce thse feelings.
If yu want t imprve yur intuitin, then, yu might first try t get in tuch with yur emtins mre generally. Over time, yu may find it easier t find put when yu are receiving a genuine and accurate signal. Yur intuitins will never be c_____7_____ true, but with practice they can becme an imprtant guide.
答案:
1.recgnize 2.withut 3.prgress 4.decisins 5.cmpared 6.experiences 7.cmpletely
譯文:
什么時候可以相信自己的直覺?
當被問到他的天賦來源時,阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦沒有一絲猶豫?!拔覉孕胖庇X和靈感。有時候我只是覺得自己是正確的。我不確定事實是否是這樣。”愛因斯坦表示,與其不假思索地否定這些直覺,還不如先相信它們,之后再驗證。
你也許也有過這樣的感覺。不管是在看一套新公寓、考慮換一份新工作、還是在判斷一個人是否誠實時,你會產生一種難以言說的預感并作出決定,盡管你并不能清楚地說出你判斷的理由。
人們很容易把直覺看做是一種神秘的“第六感”,但其實,我們無需借助這些超自然的說法就能解釋直覺這個現(xiàn)象。在過去二十年間,心理學家和神經科學家在確定我們直覺的來源以及它們在生活中的重要作用方面已經取得了顯著進展。
在探索過程中,他們的研究也明確了直覺產生的具體情景,在某些特定情況下,直覺能引領我們走向正確的道路,而另一些時候,則會使人誤入歧途。這些研究成果都有助于我們更好地進行決策。
在判斷一個人是否誠實、或者有沒有對一件事撒謊時,借助直覺比起深思熟慮、條分縷析更加準確。
在另一些情況下,直覺的強度取決于我們自身經歷的多少。在進行直覺判斷時,大腦會潛意識地搜尋儲存的知識,以便找到解決問題的最佳答案,這一過程不需要我們刻意回憶具體的事件,但直覺恰恰是由這些回憶中的事件產生的。
如果你想要提升自己的直覺,首先你可能需要更了解自己的情緒。這樣一來,經過一段時間,你就會更輕易地覺察出什么時候你的直覺是準確的。當然,直覺不可能萬無一失,不過經過訓練,它們也可以發(fā)揮重要的指導作用。

'The End f Astrnauts' Review: One Small Step fr Rbts
Everyne lves astrnauts. Whether actual r fictinal, astrnauts stand fr what mst f us see as the best and bravest aspects f humankind. S yu have t admire the mettle(勇氣) f authrs Dnald Gldsmith and Martin Rees wh think that, in almst all cases, space explratin is t i_____1_____ t leave t fallible(容易犯錯的), vulnerable(脆弱的) human beings.

In "The End f Astrnauts: Why Rbts Are the Future f Explratin," they challenge the t_____2_____ mst cmmnly cited(引用) reasns fr putting humans in space.
First is the statement that "humans in space can d mre, and mre efficiently, than rbts can." The authrs devte(把…用于) much f their bk t prving this shaky(不可靠的) statement. The secnd and third reasns have less t d with efficiency than with "aspiratin and inspiratin." That's t say: "Humans must satisfy their impulse(沖動) t explre new frntiers(邊界)," and "Humans in space i_____3_____ ur understanding f the universe and urselves."
As scientists, the authrs dn't have much patience fr arguments based n vague(模糊的) impulses. They are cl t the idea that cnquering(征服) space has much intrinsic(固有的) value t humanity, at least in the near term. They are mre pen t the idea that spaceflight might deepen ur understanding f the human species.
In terms f hard science, they argue, almst a_____4_____ humans can d, rbts can d faster, cheaper and increasingly better. The authrs lament(痛惜) that "s many f us are eager t see astrnauts n Mars," while we h_____5_____ pay attentin t ur high-tech surrgates(替代品) scuting(探索) the Red Planet tday.
While we civilians might be excited abut the thught f human ftprints n a distant planet, astrnmers(天文學者) c_____6_____ mre abut getting data(數(shù)據) they can wrk with.

譯文:
《人類宇航員的終結》書評:人類的一大步,只是機器人的一小步
所有人都愛宇航員。不管在現(xiàn)實還是虛構作品中,宇航員都代表了公認的人類最出色、最勇敢的一面。所以,當唐納德·戈德史密斯和馬丁·里斯這兩位作者宣稱,幾乎在任何情況下,探索宇宙這樣重要的任務都不應該交給總是犯錯而且脆弱的人類時,你不得不佩服他們的勇氣。他們寫道,機器人“能夠大膽地探索那些人類理所當然懼怕踏足的地方”。
在《人類宇航員的終結:為何機器人才是探索的未來》一書中,他們挑戰(zhàn)了三條最常被引用來佐證讓人類進入太空的理由。
首先是“比起機器人,人類在太空中能完成更多任務,并且效率更高”這個說法。兩位作者在書中花費大量篇幅證明了這個觀點是站不住腳的。而第二和第三條依據,更多討論的不是“效率”,而是“追求和靈感”。也就是:“人類必須滿足自己想要探索新界限的沖動”,以及“讓人類進入太空能夠增強我們對宇宙和人類自身的理解”。
作為科學家,兩位作者對那些基于人類模糊沖動的爭論沒什么耐心。對于征服太空——至少在短期內——對人類來說有很大的內在價值這一點,他們也不感興趣。但對于航天能夠幫助我們加深對人類這個種族的認識這一觀點,他們則持更開放的態(tài)度。
而從客觀度量數(shù)據的硬科學角度出發(fā),作者提出,幾乎所有人類能做的事,機器人都能做得更快速、更低廉,而且做得越來越好。兩位作者感到惋惜的是,“我們都渴望能看到人類宇航員踏上火星,”卻很少有人關注正在探索這個紅色星球的那些高科技宇航員替代品。
盡管平民百姓都對在一顆新的星球上留下人類足跡感到激動萬分,但天文學家們更關心如何獲取他們研究所需的數(shù)據。所以,《人類宇航員的終結》這本書討論的核心是投資回報率。作者們指出,送一個人類上火星所花費的錢,足夠美國航空航天局開展幾十次無人太空任務。
為了進一步論證他們的觀點,作者提醒我們過去60年機器人探索太陽系的任務所做的非凡發(fā)現(xiàn),他們強調了未來人類太空探索者面臨的風險??傊麄兊臅鴮@場長期存在的辯論是一個可讀性和有用的貢獻。

譯文:
在我上高中的第一年,我是一個瘦削的男孩,體重只有55公斤。我夢想著成為一名足球明星。我打了一會兒,但大部分時間都坐在板凳席上。那年夏天,我發(fā)現(xiàn)了一種特殊的飲食,健美運動員過去用來增重。每天喝大量全脂牛奶和舉重,給身體增加11公斤肌肉。
當足球賽季開始時,我覺得已經準備好了。然而,當我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己比其他大多數(shù)男孩更小、更慢時,我很快就失望了。我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己又坐在長凳上了。
在我們本賽季的第一場比賽中,這一點將會發(fā)生改變。我們已經建立了一個領先優(yōu)勢,教練感到足夠安全,讓我上場一段時間來打中衛(wèi)。我很興奮。
在第一次戲中,我遇到了挑戰(zhàn)。當四分衛(wèi)把球傳給我時,我以為是我炫耀了。然而,我很快就被其他球隊的三名球員擊中了。他們狠狠地把我打倒在地。我站起來,離開了球場,回到了板凳上。
這些年來,我數(shù)不清有多少次夢想實現(xiàn)某件事,卻發(fā)現(xiàn)世界有其他的計劃。我討厭這個已經很久了。直到我成為一名足球評論員,我才最終意識到,也許這個世界對我的計劃比我自己的要好。

Amazn defrestatin: Recrd high destructin f trees in January
The number f trees cut dwn in the Brazilian Amazn in January far exceeded(超過) defrestatin(采伐森林) fr the same mnth last year, accrding t gvernment satellite data(數(shù)據). The area destryed was five times l_____1_____ than 2021, the highest January ttal since recrds began in 2015.
Prtecting the Amazn is essential i_____2_____ we are t deal with climate change. Trees are cut dwn fr their wd as well as t clear spaces t plant crps t supply glbal fd cmpanies. At the climate change summit(峰會) COP26 in Glasgw last year, mre than 100 gvernments prmised t stp and reverse(逆轉) defrestatin by 2030.
The latest satellite data frm Brazil's space agency Inpe again calls int questin the Brazilian gvernment's prmise t prtect its huge rainfrest, say envirnmentalists. "The new data yet again s_____3_____ hw the gvernment's actins cntradict(相矛盾) its greenwashing campaigns," explains Cristiane Mazzetti f Greenpeace Brazil.
Greenpeace are calling n supermarkets in the UK and elsewhere t drp suppliers wh are i_____4_____ in defrestatin frm their meat and dairy supply chains suppliers. Defrestatin ttalled 430 square kilmetres in January—an area mre than seven times the size f Manhattan, New Yrk.
Cutting dwn large numbers f trees at the start f the year is u_____5_____ because the rainy seasn usually stps lggers(伐木工) frm entering dense(茂密的) frest.
Brazil's vast rainfrest takes in huge amunts f greenhuse gases frm the atmsphere, acting as what's knwn as a carbn sink. But the mre trees cut dwn, the less the frest can takes in emissins. But the area is als h_____6_____ t cmmunities wh say they need t use the frest fr mining and cmmercial farming in rder t make a living.
At the same time, indigenus(土生土長的) cmmunities living in the Amazn fight t prtect the rainfrest and their ways f life. Mr Blsnar has weakened envirnmental prtectins fr the regin and argued that the gvernment shuld explit(開采) the area t reduce pverty.
There are a number f r_____7_____ driving this level f defrestatin—strng glbal demand fr agricultural prducts such as beef and sya beans, and the expectatin that a new law will sn be passed in Brazil t legitimise(使合法) and frgive land grabbing(攫取).

亞馬遜雨林砍伐:一月份毀林數(shù)量再創(chuàng)新高
據政府衛(wèi)星數(shù)據,一月份巴西 亞馬遜地區(qū)被砍伐的樹木數(shù)量遠遠超過了去年同月的砍伐量。被摧毀的雨林面積足有2021年的五倍,這是自2015年有記錄以來最高的一月砍伐量。
保護亞馬遜雨林是應對氣候變化關鍵的一環(huán)??撤淠荆环矫媸菫榱双@得木材,另一方面是為了開辟空間種植作物以供應全球食品公司。去年在格拉斯哥舉行的第26屆全球氣候變化峰會上,一百多個國家承諾在2030年前停止并逆轉濫伐森林的現(xiàn)狀。
環(huán)保人士稱,巴西國家太空研究院采集的最新衛(wèi)星數(shù)據再次對政府保護亞馬遜雨林的承諾提出質疑。“新數(shù)據又一次證明,政府的實際行動與其環(huán)??谔栂嗝?,”巴西綠色和平組織的克里斯蒂安·馬澤蒂說。
綠色和平組織向英國及其它地區(qū)的超市發(fā)出呼吁,號召它們剔除參與濫伐森林的肉類及奶制品供應商。亞馬遜雨林一月份的砍伐總面積為430平方公里——比七個紐約曼哈頓的面積還要大。
年初便出現(xiàn)大面積的森林砍伐,這非常少見,因為雨季通常會使進入茂密森林的伐木工減少。
巴西廣袤的雨林從大氣中吸收大量的溫室氣體,也被人們稱為是碳匯。但隨著砍伐的樹越來越多,雨林吸收碳排放的能力也隨之減弱。但是,當?shù)氐囊徊糠纸M織稱,為了謀求生計,他們需要利用雨林發(fā)展礦業(yè)和商業(yè)性農業(yè)。
與此同時,生活在亞馬遜的原住民社群在竭盡所能保護雨林,保衛(wèi)他們的生存之道。巴西總統(tǒng)博索納羅降低了雨林地區(qū)的環(huán)境保護力度,并認為政府應當開發(fā)地區(qū)資源,以減少貧困。
導致此等程度的森林砍伐的原因有很多——牛肉、大豆等農業(yè)商品的全球市場需求旺盛、預計巴西不久后會通過新的法律將侵占土地的行為合法化。
