1
Swimming in the icy water of the Arctic are some very strange creatures.
2
Narwhals are a kind of whale with one very special feature.
3
They're tusks.
4
A narwhal's tusk is actually one very long tooth.
5
This tooth, which comes out of the narwhal's head, can grow to three meters in length.
6
For many years, people sold narwhal tusks, telling buyers that they were unicorn horns.
7
Today, we know more about these amazing animals, though scientists are still not certain about the main purpose of their tusks.
8
The tusk is very sensitive, so some scientists think the narwhals may use it to find their way around around.
9
Another idea is that narwhals might use their tusks when hunting food.
10
In 2017, some researchers saw narwhals doing just this.
11
The animals were seen hitting fish with their tusks and then eating them whole.
12
Both of these ideas are possible, but they don't tell the whole story.
13
Most female narwhals do not have tusks, and they survive just fine without them.
14
So, it's likely the tusk is something that is most useful to males.
15
Male narwhals have been seen using their tusks to fight.
16
Scientists also believe that the tusk is used to attract females.
17
Researchers continue to study narwhals and hope to learn more about this very special creature.

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。
