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.

什么是跟读法?
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
