8

9
and lose focus yet multitasking is increasingly common especially on a phone or computer
10

and laptops are all useful tools and we may feel more productive when we use them.
16
However, when we spend hours on digital devices, constantly switching between activities, our overall productivity decreases.

Why?
18
Many digital activities require high levels of concentration.
19
When we text or email someone, for example, or even play games, we have to focus.
20
When we do this, our brain uses energy.
21
When we multitask, which is hard for the brain to do, we use even more energy.
22
Excessive multitasking reduces our ability to think clearly and creatively, and to remember information.
23
This, in turn, can result in stress.

What is the best cure for our overstressed minds?
25
David Strayer says the answer is simple.
26
Spend some time in nature.
27
A natural remedy.
28
Strayer and other scientists are studying nature's effect on our brains and bodies.
29
When we are in natural environments, the prefrontal cortex, the brain's control center, relaxes.
30
Studies show that when people can see trees and grass, they are calmer and do better in school.
31
Indeed, people even relax when they look at photos of nature.
32
Consequently, they do better on different cognitive tasks.
33
Other psychologists are also studying nature therapy.
34
In a study at Chiba University in Japan, 84 subjects went for a 15 -minute walk in seven different forests.
35
The same number of people walked around different city centers.
36
Researchers then took blood from each person.
37
The forest walkers had a 16 % decrease in the stress hormone cortisol all.
38
In addition, they had a 2 % drop in blood pressure and a 4 % drop in heart rate.
39
All did better than the city walkers.
40
Lead researcher Yoshifumi Miyazaki has an explanation for these results.
41
Our bodies relax in pleasant natural surroundings, he says.
42
Humans evolved in that environment, not in places with tall buildings and lots of traffic.
43
Psychologist Stephen Kaplan and his colleagues have done similar research.
44
In one study, people took a 50 -minute walk in a public garden.
45
In a test conducted afterwards, their short -term memory improved.
46
When the same people walked on a city street, it did not.
47
Kaplan says it is the visual details in nature, sunsets, streams, butterflies, that reduce stress and mental fatigue.
48
We enjoy them without having to concentrate on them.

51
It exists.
52
It's called interacting with nature.

本節課學習重點
本節課圍繞“分心成癮”這一主題展開,學習者將通過影片內容練習英語聽力理解與口語表達。內容涵蓋認知心理學研究、多工處理的危害及自然對大腦的修復作用,適合提升對學術類話題的理解能力與表達流暢度,同時可結合“英語影子跟讀”訓練強化口語節奏與語調。
核心詞彙與短語
- multitasking:多工處理
- prefrontal cortex:前額葉皮層
- cortisol:皮質醇(壓力激素)
- cognitive functioning:認知功能
- mental fatigue:精神疲勞
影子跟讀練習技巧
影片語速適中,語調偏向學術講解,適合“shadow speech”訓練。練習時可先逐句播放,模仿發音與停頓,尤其注意長句的斷句(如“當我們在數字裝置上花費數小時,不斷在活動間切換時,我們的整體 productivity 會下降”)。對於包含專業術語的句子,可重複跟讀強化記憶,同時感受重音位置(如“cognitive psychologist”中“cognitive”的重讀)。
若使用“shadowing site”輔助練習,建議設定0.8倍速先熟悉內容,再逐漸提升至原速。“shadowspeak”訓練的關鍵在於同步性,儘量做到與影片發音、語調一致,無需刻意追求語速。通過反覆練習,可有效提升口語流暢度與對複雜句式的掌握能力,同時加深對主題的理解。
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。
