        贾斯汀时刻准备着。
        Justin was always prepared.

他的座右铭是“永远不要扔掉任何东西，你永远不知道它什么时候会派上用场。”
His motto was “Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy."

他的卧室里堆满了自行车轮胎，
His bedroom was so full of flat bicycle tires,

弯曲的网球拍，瘪了的篮球，以及缺失了零件的玩具，你几乎无法进入。
bent tennis rackets, deflated basketballs, and games with missing pieces that you could barely get in the door.

他的父母要他打扫他的房间。
His parents asked him to clean out his room.


        他的父亲问 ：“底有洞的鱼缸有什么用?”
        “What use is a fish tank with a hole in the bottom? ” his father asked.

但贾斯廷只是笑了笑，重复了他的座右铭:
But Justin simply smiled and repeated his motto,

“永远不要扔掉任何东西，因为你永远不知道什么时候会派上用场。”
“Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy.”


        当贾斯汀不在家的时候，他总是背着他的蓝色背包。
        When Justin was away from home, he always carried his blue backpack.

他喜欢把它想象成自己卧室的缩小版——一个存放他收集的许多物品的地方。
He liked to think of it as a smaller version of his bedroom -a place to store the many objects that he collected.

它是如此的破旧和伸展，它几乎不像一个背包了。
It was so worn and stretched that it hardly resembled a backpack anymore.

里面充满了看似不重要的事情，
It was full of the kind of things that seemed unimportant,

但如果你有一点想象力的话，可能就派上用场了。
but when used with a little imagination might come in handy.


        贾斯汀有一个好名声，因为他总是想办法帮助他人摆脱困境。
        Justin had earned a reputation for figuring things out and getting people out of otherwise hopeless situations.

他的很多同学和邻居在需要帮助的时候都会去找他。
Many of his classmates and neighbors sought him out when they needed help with a problem.

开学的第一天，他的朋友肯尼来找贾斯汀。
On the first day of school, his friend Kenny, came looking for Justin.


        “你的包里有什么东西能帮我记住储物柜的密码吗?”
        "Do you think you have something in your bag that could help me remember my locker code? "

他问道。“我把写着密码的那张纸弄丢了。我还有两分钟就要上科学课了
he asked.“I lost the paper it was written on. I have science class in two minutes and

如果第一天上班就迟到，今年剩下的日子我就会丢面子。”
if I'm late on the first day it'll make me look bad for the rest of the year."

肯尼看起来真的很担心。
Kenny looked genuinely worried.


        放松，”贾斯汀说着，卸下背包打开。
        Relax,”Justin said, taking his backpack off and opened it.

还记得你在教室借了我的笔记本，想把密码写下来吗?
Remember how you borrowed my notebook in homeroom to write the code down?

我知道怎么找回你写的东西了。
Well, I know how we can recover what you wrote.


        他从书包里拿出笔记本和一支软铅笔。
        He took the notebook and a soft lead pencil out of his bag.

肯尼写的那一页在笔记本的另一页上留下了模糊的凹痕。
The page that Kenny had written on had left faint indentations(印凹痕) on another page in the notebook.

贾斯廷拿着铅笔，轻轻地在凹痕上擦了擦。
Justin held the pencil on its side and rubbed it lightly over the indentations.

缓慢，但肯定的是，储物柜的密码在灰色的铅笔拓片的映衬下变成了白色。
Slowly but surely the numbers of the locker code appeared in white, set off by the gray pencil rubbings.


        “这太神奇了!”肯尼说。“我欠你一个人情。”然后他冲过去打开他的储物柜。
        "That's amazing!" Kenny said."I owe you one." And he dashed off to open his locker.

        就在宣布对在教室使用手机零容忍政策后不久
        Only moments after announcing a policy of zero tolerance on cellphone(手机) use in the classroom,

阿里·纳兹米就听到了手机铃声。
Ali Nazemi heard a ring.

纳兹米是弗吉尼亚州罗阿诺克学院的商学教授，
Nazemi, a business professor at Roanoke College in Virginia,

他拿出一把锤子，向一个年轻人走去。他砸碎了这个冒犯他的设备。
took out a hammer and walked towards a young man. He smashed the offending device.

整个教室的学生们的脸都变白了。
Students' faces turned white all over the classroom.


        这一事件反映了美国大学教师面临的挑战，
        This episode reflects a growing challenge for American college teachers in,

正如《纽约时报》所言，这是一场“新课堂(教室)战争:教师 vs 科技产品”。
as the New York Times puts it, a “New Class (room) War:Teacher vs. Technology".

幸运的是，这起手机摔碎事件是事先计划好的
Fortunately, the smashed-phone incident had been planned ahead of time

这表明了老师对高科技设备分散学生注意力的愤怒。
to demonstrate teachers' anger at inattentive students distracted by high-tech devices.


        55岁的纳兹米站在新时代老师与学生分歧的前沿。
        At age 55, Nazemi stands on the far shore of a new sort of generational divide between teacher and student.

这一鸿沟将那些想要利用科技变得更聪明的人与那些想要利用科技变得更愚蠢的人区分开来。
The divide separates those who want to use technology to grow smarter from those who want to use it to get dumber.

也许还有更好的说法。
Perhaps there's a nicer way to put it.

“婴儿潮一代似乎把技术视为信息和交流，”
“The baby boomers seem to see technology as information and communication, "

《人际分化》一书的作者迈克尔·布盖加说:
said Michael Bugeja, the author of Interpersonal Divide:

在技术时代寻找自己的圈子。
the Search for Community in a Technological Age.

“他们的孩子似乎把同样的设备视为娱乐和社交。”
"Their children seem to see the same devices as entertainment and socializing.'


        布盖加对几百名学生进行的在线调查发现，大多数人都使用过手机，
        Bugeja's online survey of several hundred students found that a majority had used their cell phones,

在上课时间发送或阅读电子邮件，登录社交网站。
sent or read e-mail, and logged onto social-network sites during class time.

四分之一的受访者承认，他们是在不同的课堂上进行这项调查的。
A quarter of the respondents admitted they were taking the survey while sitting in a different class.


        加拿大公司Smart Technologies生产并销售一款名为“同步眼”(SynchronEyes)的程序。
        The Canadian company Smart Technologies makes and sells a program called SynchronEyes.

它允许一位课堂老师监控每个学生的电脑活动，并在点击后将其冻结。
It allows a classroom teacher to monitor every student's computer activity and to freeze it at a click.

去年，该公司售出了1万多张执照。
Last year, the company sold more than 10,000 licenses.

该公司的首席执行官南希·诺尔顿说，最大的问题是，
The biggest problem, said Nancy Knowlton, the company's chief executive officer,

就是一直要站在那些想要破解程序的学生前面。
is staying ahead of students trying to crack the program's code.

“网络上的讨论很活跃，我们正在密切关注。”
"There's an active discussion on the Web, and we're monitoring it. "

诺尔顿说。“他们让我们保持警惕。”
Knowlton said. " They keep us on our toes."

        美国研究人员说：与iPod等MP3数码音乐播放器一起使用的耳机可能会干扰心脏起搏器和植入式除颤器
        Headphones used with MP3 digital music players like the iPod may interfere with heart pacemakers(起搏器) and implantable defibrillators(除颤器)，U.S. researchers said

        MP3播放器本身对心脏起搏器和除颤器没有威胁，
        The MP3 players themselves posed no threat to pacemakers and defibrillators,

用于使心率正常。
used to normalize heart rhythm.

但是如果耳机内的强力小磁铁被放置它们附近1.2英寸之内，
But strong little magnets inside the headphones can confuse the devices if placed within 1. 2 inches of them,

研究人员在新奥尔良举行的美国心脏协会会议上说。
the researchers told an American Heart Association meeting in New Orleans.


        波士顿医疗设备安全研究所的William Maisel博士领导了一个团队
        Dr. William Maisel of the Medical Device Safety Institute in Boston led a team

他们在60名装有除颤器和起搏器的病人身上测试了8款MP3耳机。
that tested eight models of MP3 player headphones in 60 defibrillator and pacemaker patients.


        他们把耳机放在病人的胸部，直接在除颤器和起搏器的上面。
        They placed the headphones on the patients' chests, directly over the devices.

耳机干扰了大约四分之一的病人(60人中有14人)的心脏设备
The headphones interfered with the heart devices in about a quarter of the patients-14 of the 60

在装有除颤器的患者中，干扰的可能性是装有起搏器的患者的两倍。
and interference was twice as likely in those with a defibrillator than with a pacemaker.


        会议上提出的另一项研究表明，配备无线技术的手机不太可能干扰心脏起搏器。
        Another study presented at the meeting showed that cell phones equipped with wireless technology are unlikely to interfere with pacemakers.


        起搏器向心脏发送电脉冲来加快或减慢心率。
        A pacemaker sends electrical impulses to the heart to speed up or slow heart rhythm.

然而，研究人员说，磁铁可以使它发送信号，不管心率是多少。
The magnet, however, could make it deliver a signal no matter what the heart rate is, the researchers said.


        如果心脏跳动过快或过慢，植入式除颤器就会向心脏发出信号，使其心率恢复正常。
        An implantable defibrillator signals the heart to normalize its rhythm if it gets too fast or slow.

磁铁可以使它失去活性，使它忽视异常的心律，而不是通过电击使其恢复正常。
A magnet could de-activate it, making it ignore an abnormal heart rhythm instead of delivering an electrical shock to normalize it.


        研究人员表示，在摘掉耳机后，这些设备通常会恢复正常工作。
        The devices usually go back to working the right way after the headphones are removed, the researchers said.


        “这里的主要信息是:患者正常使用耳机没有问题，
        “The main message here is: it's fine for patients to use their headphones normally,

这意味着他们可以一边听音乐一边把耳机戴在耳朵里。
meaning they can listen to music and keep the headphones in their ears.

但他们不应该把耳机放在设备旁边。”
But what they should not do is put the headphones near their device,"

麦瑟尔在电话采访中说。
Maisel said in a telephone interview.


        这就意味着，佩戴起搏器或除颤器的人在不使用耳机时，不应该将耳机放在靠近胸部的衬衫口袋或外套口袋里，
        So that means people with pacemakers or defibrillators should not place the headphones in a shirt pocket or coat pocket near the chest when they are not being used,

也不应该把耳机放在病人的胸前，或者让其他戴耳机的人把头靠在病人的胸前，麦瑟尔说。
and should not place them over their chest or have others who are wearing headphones rest their head on the patient's chest, Maisel said


        MP3数字音乐播放器如何阻碍心脏起搏器和除颤器?
21. How can MP3 digital music players hinder pacemakers and defibrillators?
A. MP3 players can interfere with heart pacemakers and defibrillators. MP3播放器会干扰心脏起搏器和除颤器。
B. The magnets inside the headphones can interfere with pacemakers and defibrillators. 耳机里的磁铁会干扰起搏器和除颤器。
C. The loud music beats pose a threat to pacemakers and defibrillators. 吵闹的音乐节拍对心脏起搏器和除颤器构成威胁。
D. MP3 players are placed too close to pacemakers and defibrillators MP3播放器放置得太靠近起搏器和除颤器

        威廉·麦瑟尔医生的测试表明
22. Dr. William Maisel's tests showed that _____.
A. headphones had interference with the heart devices in every patient 耳机对每个病人的心脏设备都有干扰
B. half of the models of MP3 player headphones had interference with heart devices 一半型号的MP3耳机对心脏设备有干扰
C. headphones had much stronger interference with a defibrillator than with a pacemaker 耳机对除颤器的干扰要比起搏器强得多
D. headphones had much stronger interference with a pacemaker than with a defibrillator 耳机对起搏器的干扰要比除颤器强得多

        耳机里的磁铁会引起什么问题
23. The magnets inside the headphones can cause problems by _____.
A. sending out electrical shock to damage hearts 发出电击来伤害心脏
B. sending out signals to make hearts beat too slow 发出信号使心跳减慢
C. sending out signals to make hearts beat too fast 发出使心跳加快的信号
D. making the heart devices malfunction 使心脏装置失灵

24. People with pacemakers or defibrillators should _____.
A. never use MP3 digital music players 千万不要使用MP3数码音乐播放器
B. not use MP3 headphones 不要使用MP3耳机
C. not use the headphones near their hearts 不要让耳机靠近心脏
D. put the headphones in a pocket when they are not being used 不用耳机的时候，把耳机放在口袋里

B. warn people not to use modern gadgets 警告人们不要使用现代电子产品
C. compare different headphone products 比较不同的耳机产品
D. inform people of the safe use of MP3 players 提醒人们安全使用MP3播放器









        从下金蛋的鹅到龟兔赛跑，
        From the goose that laid the golden egg to the race between the tortoise and the hare,

伊索寓言以教导道德而闻名，而不是真实的故事。
Aesop's fables are known for teaching moral lessons rather than literally being true.

但一项新的研究表明，至少有一个这样的故事可能真的发生过
But a new study says at least one such tale might really have happened


        这是一则关于口渴的乌鸦的寓言
        It's the fable about a thirsty crow(乌鸦).

小鸟遇到了一个水位太低的罐子，它够不到。
The bird comes across a jar with the water level too low for him to reach.

乌鸦往罐子里扔石头提高了水位。
The crow raises the water level by dropping stones into the jar.

这个故事告诉我们：要一点一点的做事，
The moral tells Little by little does the trick,

或者再次对我们说：需要是发明之母。
or in other retellings, necessity is the mother of invention.


        现在，科学家报告说，乌鸦的一些亲戚叫做白嘴鸦使用同样的扔石头的策略吃到了一个漂浮的蠕虫。
        Now, scientists report that some relatives of crows called rooks used the same stone-dropping strategy to get at a floating worm.

这个利用三只鸟做的实验结果发表在《当代生物学》的杂志上。
Results of experiments with three birds were published online by the journal Current Biology.


        白嘴鸦和乌鸦一样，在之前的实验中已经被证明会使用工具。
        Rooks, like crows, had already been shown to use tools in previous experiments.

剑桥大学的克里斯托弗·伯德和他的同事把白嘴鸦放在一个6英寸高的透明塑料管中，管内装有水，
Christopher Bird of Cambridge University and a colleague exposed the rooks to a 6-inch-tall clear plastic tube containing water,

管子表面有一条蠕虫。
with a worm on its surface.

这些鸟很自然地使用了扔石头的技巧，它们似乎还会估计它们需要多少石头。
The birds used the stone-dropping trick naturally and appeared to estimate how many stones they would need.

他们很快就明白了更大的石头效果更好。
They learned quickly that larger stones work better.


        新西兰奥克兰大学(University of Auckland)的亚历克斯·泰勒(Alex Taylor)和拉塞尔·格雷(Russell Gray)在一篇评论中指出，在所有早期的实验中，
        In an accompanying commentary, Alex Taylor and Russell Gray of the University of Auckland in New Zealand noted that in all earlier experiment,

这些鸟把一块石头扔进管子里，让管子底部的食物飘上来。
the same birds had dropped a single stone into a tube to get food released at the bottom.

科学家们得到启发，所以当他们在新实验中看到管子时，可能他们只是再次使用了这个策略，
So maybe they were just following that strategy again when they saw the tube in the new experiment, the scientists suggested.

但是伯德的论文认为还有更多的原因:
But Bird's paper argued there's more to it:

白嘴鸦在去抓虫子之前扔下了多块石头，而不是一块，
The rooks dropped multiple stones rather than just one before reaching for the worm,

它们从管子的顶端去够食物，而不是试图去够管子底部的食物。
and they reached for it at the top of the tube rather than trying to reach the food at the bottom.


        研究人员还表示，伊索寓言的乌鸦实际上可能是一只白嘴鸦，
        The researchers also said Aesop's crow might have actually been a rook,

因为这两种鸟在过去都被称为乌鸦。
since both kinds of birds were called crows in the past.
