5
Beer refers to any alcoholic beverage made from fermented cereal grains— the edible seeds of a particular group of grasses.
6

13
The second step was fermentation.
14
Unbeknownst to brewers at the time, wild yeast found its way into the mixture— carried through the air, on fruit, or via reused tools still harboring yeasts from prior brews.
15
With time and storage, yeasts converted some of these sugars into alcohol while releasing carbon dioxide.
16

26
Around this same time, brewers from Central and Eastern Europe made a key change to their recipe: they began adding hops.
27
These green flowers are rich in acidic compounds, imbuing beer with a new bitter flavor and acting as a preservative.
28
Hops became so closely associated with beer that in 1516, a Bavarian duke issued a beer purity law, known as the Reinheitsgebot, that defined beer’s composition as strictly barley, hops, and water.
29

Today, there are well over 100 distinct beer varieties, with lagers and ales being the two main types.
34
Lagers, which include pilsners and bocks, are fermented with yeasts that thrive at colder temperatures and live at the bottom of fermentation vessels.

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。
