Unit 15 Animal Forecasters Do you think animals can predict the weather or other natural events?
2
Farmers living in the countryside think so.
3
For hundreds of years they have observed animals and noticed many things about the way animals act.
4
For example, some farmers believe that if they see swans flying into the wind, a hurricane is coming.
5
or when cows lie down, a rainstorm is coming.

There are many traditional stories connecting animals and natural events.

Some scientists are taking another look at animals to see if there is any truth behind these stories and beliefs.

Kiyoshi Shimamura is a Japanese earthquake researcher.
10
He noticed an increase in dog bites a short time before earthquakes hit.
11
Then he did an investigation of 12 public health centers in Kobe, Japan.
12
These health centers treated people after a big earthquake.
13
Shimamura noticed that the month before the big earthquake, treatment for animal bites had increased.
14
In fact, aggressive behavior in dogs, such as biting and barking loudly, jumped 60%.
15
Other animals changed their behavior before an earthquake as well.
16
For example, fish in ponds
17
or lakes begin swimming together in large groups only in the middle of the water and not near the edges.
18
Also, birds may fly away from their nests for many days, leaving their eggs unprotected.

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。
