3
The Stories in the Rocks.
4
When he was just six years old, Jorn Hurum turned his bedroom into a small museum.
5
His shelves became filled with a growing collection of fossils.
6
For Hurum, these fossils were not just rocks, but things that could tell the history of life on this planet planet.
7
He imagined them saying, I am not a rock, I am a fossil, I have a story to tell.
8
Huram earned a PhD in paleontology in his native Norway.
9
Since then, he has been on expeditions seeking fossils all over the world.
10
Much of his work has been carried out in Svalbard, a group of Norwegian islands north of the Arctic Circle.
11
In the hills of this cold and remote region, Hurum and his team have found the fossils of many sea creatures.
12
It might seem surprising to find the remains of such animals at the tops of hills,
13
but in prehistoric times, these areas were actually seabeds about 100 meters deep.
14
Hurum has returned to Svalbard many times.
15
The dig season in the region is very short, from July to August.
16
During that time, the temperature is just about warm enough to soften the frozen ground, allowing easier access to the fossils.
17
There is also less wind, and the midnight sun makes it easy for the scientists to have long, productive days.
18
Even a dream job has its challenges, however.
19
Sometimes we find explodaceros, he says.
20
The team may find many broken bone pieces spread across a hillside.
21
Then it becomes impossible to recreate the entire animal.
22
We have to identify the entire animal from individual pieces.
23
Each of Huram's expeditions also requires a lot of preparation.
24
We have between 15 and 20 people, tons of equipment, food, jackhammers, water, he explains.
25
There's a lot of work before you start the cool thing.
26
For Huram, the cool thing is the act of discovery.
27
In 2006, his team made its greatest discovery so far.
28
After removing about 60 tons of rock by hand, Huram and his team eventually dug out an enormous fossil.
29
We knew immediately this was something special, says Huram.
30
The large pieces of bone told us that this was big.
31
It was a plesiosaur, a prehistoric sea monster with teeth the size of cucumbers.
32
The fossil was not complete, but it included a front flipper, a shoulder, and pieces of skull and neck.
33
For Hurum, the discovery of this 15-meter-long creature, nicknamed Predator X, was an amazing moment.
34
It's like one of those scratch-off lottery tickets every time you dig, he explains.
35
Sometimes you start digging and you might just find part of a skull or other bone.
36
Sometimes you find the skull and the vertebra.
37
Then you know it's a jackpot.

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。
