1
When you put toast in the toaster, what's the normal estimate of how much germs it kills?
2
I've got bad news and good news for you, Malcolm.
3
The bad news is that despite searching high and low, we couldn't find a good estimate for exactly how many germs a normal, non -moldy piece of bread might have.
4
So it's really hard to know how many germs are killed by toasting it.
5
But we can still make some educated assumptions.
6
That's the good news.
7
Germs are everywhere, so there are definitely some on your bread.
8
That doesn't mean it's necessarily going to harm you, though.
9
Some germs are pretty mild, and our bodies have built up lots of defenses to fight off things that could make us sick.
10
Now toasting your bread does do some extra good when it comes to neutralizing pesky bacteria.
11
The higher the temperature, the more surface bacteria will be killed off.
12
So if you're toasting your bread enough for it to turn golden brown, that's a good start.
13
And throw away your bread if it has any visible mold on it.
14
But here's the key.
15
Your toast could be clean as can be.
16
And it does no good if you pick it up with dirty, germy hands.
17
You can transfer germs from your hands to your toast to your mouth pretty easily.
18
So whether you're toasting or not, the best thing you can do to avoid the germs that might make you sick is wash your hands before you eat.

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
