1
the therapeutic value of amusement parks has been largely overlooked by doctors until just recently
2
that is with us in the studio today is Steven Mansfield
3
a medical journalist who is here to tell us about an amazing letter
4
that he read in the New England Journal of Medicine recently.
5
Stephen, welcome to the show.
6
Thanks for having me.
7
So, give us a bit of background on the letter you read.
8
I'd be happy to.
9
It was written by a Swiss eye surgeon named Michael Thiel.
10
It seems that a young man, 19 years old, presented himself to the doctor at his hospital in Zurich,
11
Switzerland, complaining that something strange had happened to the pupil of his right eye.
12
After being punched in the eye in a bar fight, the pupil, the black part at the center of the eye,
13
had become a long, narrow, vertical slit.
14
In fact, it bore an odd resemblance to the eye of a cat.
15
Thiel and his colleagues soon figured out what had happened.
16
Ten years before, it would seem, surgeons had removed the patient's natural lens and implanted a plastic one inside the eye.
17
The barroom punch had knocked the plastic lens out of place.
18
The lens had slipped forward, out through the pupil,
19
but the two tiny wires used to anchor the lens had remained in place farther back in the eye
20
and were tugging on the edges of the lens.
21
The backward pull distorted the pupil into a cat's eye shape.
22
So what did Dr. Thiel and his colleagues do next?
23
Well, first they tried a simple remedy, eye drops and gravity.
24
They had the man lie on his back and dilated his pupil with drops.
25
Their hope was that if the pupil opened wide enough, the lens would drop through it and wind up back where it belonged.
26
But according to Thiel, the procedure didn't do the trick.
27
Only half the lens went back, and the other part was stuck.
28
How awful!
29
Well, actually, it sounds worse than it was.
30
The patient's eye didn't hurt.
31
His vision was good, and he was in no danger.
32
But he wanted the lens fixed anyway.
33
His girlfriend and everyone complained that he looked funny.
34
And then what happened?
35
There he took three rides in a row on the Silver Star, one of the biggest, fastest roller coasters in Europe.
36
The ride climbs up an incline of 240 feet and zooms down into a curve at 80 miles an hour.
37
The force on passengers is four G's, four times that of gravity.
38
Apparently after the third ride the patient went to the men's room.
39
While washing his hands, he glanced at himself in the mirror and noticed that his eye looked normal.
40
The pupil was round again.
41
He called Dr. Thiel and explained what had happened.
42
The unbelieving surgeon examined him the following day and, to his amazement, found that the surgery was no longer needed.
43
The lens had slipped back into place.
44
How did he explain what happened?
45
The lens obviously needed quite some force to move it back into place.
46
When the patient was on the roller coaster, he was in a state of anxiety, combined with a lot of adrenaline.
47
Apparently, the adrenaline enlarged the pupil,
48
and it was probably the combination of this and the enormous g -force that brought the lens back into place.
49
Amazing.
50
So does Dr. Thiel and his team of Swiss surgeons recommend rollercoaster therapy to others with misplaced implants?
51
In fact, Thiel has realized that the story is actually a cautionary tale.
52
The obvious lesson to be learned here is that if a roller coaster can jolt an implanted lens back into place,
53
it may also be able to jerk one out of place.
54
Until recently, that might not have been so much of a concern, because most lens implants were used after cataract surgery on older people,
55
who probably did not ride roller coasters anyway.
56
But now, implants are being used in Europe to correct nearsightedness in younger people.
57
So even though riding a roller coaster was therapeutic in this case, the pastime may actually do more harm than good.
58
that's exactly right a dislocated lens can be more than a nuisance
59
if it slides far enough forward it may seriously injure the cornea well it's a good thing
60
that i'm afraid of roller coasters thanks for the fascinating report what was wrong with the young man's right eye
61
What was the first thing doctors tried to correct the problem?
62
How successful was their attempt?
63
In Dr. Thiel's opinion, what was it about the rollercoaster ride that corrected the problem?
64
What is the underlying message of the radio program?

इस पाठ की शब्दावली और बोलने के सुझाव
यह स्पीकिंग पाठ वीडियो “TOEFL Listening Practice” पर आधारित है। सबसे ज़्यादा दोहराए गए शब्द ये हैं: lens, eye, pupil, Thiel, coaster। इस वीडियो में शैडोइंग के लिए 133 वाक्य और 1565 शब्द हैं। बोला गया हिस्सा 12:08 लंबा है। वक्ता लगभग 129 शब्द प्रति मिनट की स्थिर गति से बोलता है, जो शैडोइंग के लिए आरामदायक है। केवल 79% शब्द अंग्रेज़ी के 3,000 सबसे आम शब्दों में से हैं, इसलिए शब्दावली कठिन है।
इस वीडियो की मुख्य शब्दावली

इस वीडियो का व्याकरण
वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:
| संरचना | वीडियो में |
|---|---|
| Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है | has been largely overlooked · was written · being punched |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी है | has been · has realized |
ध्यान देने योग्य उच्चारण
वक्ता 8 बार संक्षिप्त रूपों का प्रयोग करता है, जैसे didn't, I'd, I'm। इन्हें वैसे ही छोटा बोलें जैसा आप सुनते हैं।
- “sh” और “zh” की ध्वनियाँ: wash /wɑʃ/, cautionary /ˈkɔʃəˌnɛɹi/
- लंबे शब्द — बलाघात सही रखें: therapeutic /ˌθɛɹ.əˈpjuː.tɪk/, adrenaline /əˈdɹɛnəlɪn/, anxiety /æŋˈzaɪ.əti/, rollercoaster /ˈɹoʊlɚˌkoʊstɚ/, cautionary /ˈkɔʃəˌnɛɹi/
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: gravity /ˈɡɹævɪti/, wash /wɑʃ/, wire /ˈwaɪɚ/, steven /ˈstiːvən/, vertical /ˈvɝ.tɪ.kəl/
- /z/ — इसे “ज” (/dʒ/) न बनाएँ: lens /lɛnz/, anxiety /æŋˈzaɪ.əti/, examine /ɪɡˈzæmɪn/, zoom /zuːm/, amusement /əˈmjuzmənt/
- शब्द की शुरुआत में s + व्यंजन — पहले “इ” न जोड़ें: slip /ˈslɪp/, slide /ˈslaɪ̯d/, steven /ˈstiːvən/
इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें
- पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
- सामान्य गति पर एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें और हर वाक्य तब तक दोहराएँ जब तक आपकी लय वक्ता से न मिल जाए।
- अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर lens, pupil, surgeon 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।
