I'm always looking for new pieces of meteorite rock, so I have to travel a lot.
6
I've been to about 70 countries or so.
7
The job can be dangerous because some rocks are worth a lot of money.
8
On one such trip, I was robbed and almost killed.
9
That was scary.
10
There are other issues too.
11
It's illegal to take meteorite pieces from some countries.
12
So you have to be very careful and learn the law.

It's different everywhere.

BNG.

Are there a lot of meteorite pieces on Earth?
16
Michael Farmer.
17
Yes, there are millions, but most land in the forest, jungle or ocean.
18
They're almost impossible to locate.
19
One of the best places to find pieces is in the Sahara Desert in Africa.
20
You can see them easily in the sand.
21
The heat also preserves the rocks well.
22
CNG, what's the most valuable meteorite you've found?
23
Michael Farmer.
24
I found one piece in the Middle East and I sold it for $100,000.
25
It was a small piece about the size of a walnut, but the most valuable was in Canada.
26
Three partners and I discovered a very rare type of meteorite called a palisite.
27
It weighed 53 kilograms and it's around 4.5 billion years old.
28
We sold it to the Canadian government for just under a million dollars.
29
Now it's in the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.
30
It's a national treasure.
31
DNG.
32
Who else buys the rocks from you?
33
Michael Farmer.
34
Museums and private collectors are always calling me.
35
New meteorites are in demand and so they sell quickly.
36
I also sell them to a lot of scientists.
37
They don't have the time or money to search for these rocks.
38
Without the help of hunters, 99% of these meteorites would be lost to science.

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。
