1
How radioactive are your teeth?
2
In the 1950s, American dentists collecting baby teeth found that they were dangerously radioactive and levels were rising every year.
3
This is bad news.
4
Radioactive teeth means radioactive bones.
5
Where was all this radioactivity coming from?
6
Not from their neighborhood, but nuclear weapons testing thousands of miles away.
7
As tensions escalated in the Cold War, The United States and the Soviet Union designed increasingly powerful nuclear weapons, many of which were detonated on their own soil.
8
Nuclear fission produces dozens of nuclei, most of which are radioactive themselves.
9
Atmospheric tests at the Nevada test site carried radioactive debris east where it would fall out of the air onto pasture.
10
Cows would eat this grass, making their milk slightly radioactive.
11
When this milk is given to children, radioactive elements are built into bones and teeth, accumulate in the thyroid and are incorporated into every cell.
12
When a radioactive nucleus decays in the body, it spits out high-energy particles, which break chemical bonds in cells,
13
mutate DNA, and ultimately cause cancers like leukemia.
14
And there were lots of tests.
15
Altogether, over 2,000 nuclear weapons have been detonated, more than 500 of them above ground,
16
spreading the radioactive fallout of 545 megatons of explosions.
17
And there's no cleaning it up.
18
This fallout is everywhere in the environment, causing cancers and potentially killing as many or more than the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
19
Ultimately, the discovery of radioactive teeth convinced the US and Soviet Union to sign the partial test ban treaty,
20
so the good news is that above-ground testing mostly stopped during the Cold War, and the dangerous radioactive nuclei are slowly decaying away.
21
But many of these nuclei have half-lives of decades to centuries, so even people born today, long after testing has stopped,
22
may be killed by the fallout from last century's tests.
23
While testing has mostly stopped, it could return unless the nuclear weapons states formally adopt a UN treaty to ban it.
24
You have a choice.
25
You can demand that the governments of the world ban nuclear testing and even nuclear weapons, or you can look in the mirror and ask yourself...

이 영상으로 연습하는 방법

  1. 먼저 말하지 않고 영상을 끝까지 듣고 모르는 단어를 적어 둡니다.
  2. 0.75배속으로 한 문장씩 섀도잉을 시작하고, 익숙해지면 보통 속도로 돌아갑니다.
  3. 자신의 목소리를 녹음해 원본과 비교하고, nucleus, fallout, decay 같은 단어에 특히 주의합니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
