1
We like to think we walk through our lives completely conscious,
2
free to choose whatever we like, totally, completely in control.
3
Not even close.
4
Our bodies leave a lot to autopilot, which is a good thing, because imagine having to regulate your heartbeat and your breathing and your digestive system and your body temperature,
5
while not peeing your pants and falling down.
6
That would be hard.
7
Many of those involuntary actions are mysterious, annoying, and just plain weird.
8
Here are five of the human body's strangest out-of-control behaviors.
9
Start typing why does my into Google, and the top result is an eye-opener.
10
Involuntary twitching of the muscles around the eye has a number of causes, including dry eyes, caffeine, bright lights, and just like during a tough workout, from simple fatigue.
11
It's usually totally harmless and eventually goes away on its own, and it's a good hint that you've probably been looking at that screen enough for one day.
12
Looking at bright light can cause more than an eye twitch.
13
In Aristotle's book of problems, he asks, why is it that one sneezes more after one has looked at the sun?
14
Proving that people have been asking a lot of the same questions for a long time, and no one told Aristotle that you're not supposed to stare at the sun.
15
Like, ever.
16
The so-called photic sneeze reflex, aka the autosomal cholinergic heliophthalmic outburst,
17
abbreviated achoo, yes, seriously, is experienced by about one in four people, leading scientists to believe that it is genetically heritable.
18
While the exact cause hasn't been pinpointed, Many scientists think that it's due to crosstalk between the optic nerve
19
and the nerve that feeds the tickling sensation in your nose.
20
The visual cortex of sun-sneezing people is also prone to overstimulation, which might send the sneeze-sensing parts of their brain haywire.
21
Have you ever been just about to go to sleep, walking through the gates to dreamland, only to have the floor pulled out from under you and suddenly you're falling and then you wake up?
22
These frustrating sleep starts have another cool medical name, hypnagogic myoclonus.
23
When we drift off, the areas of our brain that control motor function are inactivated, in favor of those that control our sleep cycles.
24
Which is why you can dream about riding your bike without actually moving your feet.
25
As the sleepy part of your brain fights with the awake and moving parts of your brain, that battle can spontaneously tip back in favor of the motor control side,
26
and then suddenly you're like, whoa, I'm awake.
27
Sleep starts aren't the only myocloni that we experience.
28
Makeups are an uncontrollable contraction of the diaphragm muscle that we use to draw air into our lungs.
29
About a quarter second after that muscle contracts, the vocal cords snap shut, creating that characteristic… Scientists still aren't sure what causes them,
30
but possible explanations include hiccups being an evolutionary remnant from a few hundred million years ago, when our ancestors still had to pump water over their gills.
31
Or, since hiccups mainly happen in mammals, that they they started as a way for nursing infants to clear air from their stomachs.
32
If you want to get rid of hiccups, it seems that increasing the amount of CO2 in your blood can do the job, which is why common remedies include drinking water, holding our breath, or breathing into a paper bag.
33
Yawning, another long, slow, involuntary form of breathing, is common throughout the animal kingdom, and it even happens in the womb.
34
We know it's associated with sleep and boredom, but that doesn't explain why it happens.
35
Unlike most human behaviors, if you stop and think about yawning long enough, it starts to become a really weird thing to do.
36
Hippocrates believed that yawns released noxious fumes that had built up in the body, but modern medicine has shown us that that usually happens on the other end of the body.
37
We also know that about 50% of people who observe a yawn will yawn in response, so it's thought to be a social cue to synchronize our biological clocks.
38
One theory says yawns might even cool the brain slightly to make us more alert as we get bored or sleepy.
39
Even watching someone talk for extended periods of time can induce yawning.
40
So next time you're getting bored in class, tell your teacher it's Mother Nature's fault.
41
Finally, I'll leave you with one bonus behavior, post-micturition convulsion syndrome, or the pee shivers.
42
This is another behavior for which scientists haven't quite shaken out all the details,
43
but some believe it's simply because we're exposing sensitive areas of our body to the cold while we expel some internal warmth.
44
They might also arise from a bit of conflict between our autonomous nervous system that's usually quietly keeping all that pee inside,
45
and the part of our conscious mind that's in charge of the plumbing at that moment.
46
These weird, wild, and often twitchy behaviors may define nice neat explanations, and yes, sometimes they are very annoying, but in the great movie that is life,
47
they're a nice reminder of all the amazing things going on behind the scenes.
48
Here's a reflex action, you click subscribe, and I'll see you again next week.
49
Stay curious.
50
When the mercury plummets, we don't actually feel the temperature.
51
We feel the flow of energy.
52
We feel the heat.
53
Feel, feel, feel, feel my heat.
54
Or really, we feel the unheat, because cold can never move into something.
55
It's heat flowing out.

इस पाठ की शब्दावली और बोलने के सुझाव

यह B2 स्तर का स्पीकिंग पाठ वीडियो “5 Weird Involuntary Behaviors Explained!” पर आधारित है। सबसे ज़्यादा दोहराए गए शब्द ये हैं: behavior, brain, sleep, yawn, scientists। इस वीडियो में शैडोइंग के लिए 55 वाक्य और 931 शब्द हैं। बोला गया हिस्सा 5:12 लंबा है। वक्ता लगभग 179 शब्द प्रति मिनट की स्वाभाविक गति से बोलता है, जो रोज़मर्रा की बातचीत के करीब है। केवल 80% शब्द अंग्रेज़ी के 3,000 सबसे आम शब्दों में से हैं, इसलिए शब्दावली कठिन है।

इस वीडियो का व्याकरण

वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:

संरचनावीडियो में
Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — पहले शुरू हुआ काम जो अब भी जारी हैyou've probably been looking · have been asking
Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी हैhas looked · hasn't been pinpointed · has shown
Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता हैis experienced · been pinpointed · are inactivated
Relative clauses who / which + उपवाक्य — व्यक्ति या वस्तु के बारे में अतिरिक्त जानकारीautopilot, which is · job, which is · people who observe

ध्यान देने योग्य उच्चारण

वक्ता 16 बार संक्षिप्त रूपों का प्रयोग करता है, जैसे you're, aren't, I'll। इन्हें वैसे ही छोटा बोलें जैसा आप सुनते हैं।

  • “sh” और “zh” की ध्वनियाँ: conscious /ˈkɑn.ʃəs/, contraction /kənˈtɹækʃ(ə)n/, convulsion /kənˈvʌlʃən/, noxious /ˈnɑkʃəs/, shiver /ˈʃɪvɚ/

हिंदी भाषियों के लिए मुश्किल ध्वनियाँ:

  • /v/ और /w/ का फ़र्क़ — /v/ में ऊपर के दाँत निचले होंठ को छूते हैं, /w/ में होंठ गोल होते हैं: involuntary /ɪnˈvɑ.lənˌtɛɹ.i/, twitch /twɪt͡ʃ/, awake /əˈweɪk/, nerve /nɝv/, abbreviate /əˈbɹi.vi.eɪt/
  • /z/ — इसे “ज” (/dʒ/) न बनाएँ: sneeze /sniːz/, synchronize /ˈsɪŋ.kɹə.naɪːz/, arise /əˈɹaɪz/, expose /ɪkˈspoʊz/, observe /əbˈzɜːv/
  • शब्द की शुरुआत में s + व्यंजन — पहले “इ” न जोड़ें: sneeze /sniːz/, sleepy /ˈsliːpi/, spontaneously /spɑnˈteɪ.ni.əs.li/, stare /stɛɚ/

इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें

  1. पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
  2. 0.75× गति से शुरू करें, एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें, और सहज लगने पर सामान्य गति पर लौटें।
  3. अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर yawn, sneeze, hiccup जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
