1
1. A mysterious visitor.
2
In October 2017, astronomers in Hawaii saw something surprising.
3
A strange object was moving through the solar system.
4
They had seen many asteroids before, but this was something different.
5
It was long and thin, like a cucumber.
6
The object's speed and direction also showed something surprising.
7
This was an interstellar object, the first ever seen.
8
B. The object was named Umuamua, Hawaiian for visitor from afar.
9
Nobody is sure exactly what it is.
10
The simplest idea is that Umuamua is a strangely shaped piece of rock.
11
Perhaps it was knocked out of a far-off star system.
12
However, astronomers saw that its speed increased after passing the sun.
13
Some scientists therefore suggest a different theory.
14
C. Umuamua could be a piece of alien technology," says Professor Abraham Loeb from Harvard University.
15
Loeb believes this could explain the object's long, thin shape and also its change in speed.
16
Maybe Oumuamua was a spaceship that came to explore our solar system.
17
All possibilities should be considered, says Loeb.
18
De Oumuamua can no longer be seen from Earth, but astronomers continue to study the information they got from it.
19

20
Umamua will likely be a mystery for many years to come,

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。
