        智齿通常是最后出现的牙齿。
        Wisdom teeth are normally the last teeth to appear.

这种情况通常发生在青少年晚期或20岁出头的时候，换句话说，
This usually happens when people are in their late teen years or early twenties-in other words,

当他们更老更聪明的时候。
when they are older and wiser.


        智齿是位于口腔后部的咀嚼牙齿。
        Wisdom teeth are chewing teeth, at the back of the mouth.

它们可以正常生长，不会造成问题。
They can grow into place normally and never cause a problem.

但通常它们的嘴里没有足够的空间。
But often there is not enough room for them in the mouth.

它们可能会挤到其他牙齿上。有时它们甚至会从牙龈的侧面长出来
They might crowd other teeth. Sometimes they even push sideways through the gums(牙床).

        隐齿是指没有完全从牙龈中长出来的智齿。长出来的过程叫做冒出。
        An impacted wisdom tooth is one that fails to completely rise through the gum-the term is erupt.

如果智齿只冒出来一部分，细菌就很容易进入牙齿中。
Wisdom teeth that only partially erupt can leave space for bacteria to enter around the tooth.

很容易感染。
Infection is a risk in these cases.


        如果智齿的位置不好，会导致牙齿稠密，通常会被拔除。
        Wisdom teeth that are not well in place and become impacted are often removed.

人们应该在16岁到20岁之间检查智齿的位置。
People should have the placement of their wisdom teeth examined between the ages of sixteen and twenty.

x光可以显示牙龈下面的智齿。
X-rays can show wisdom teeth that are below the gums.


        美国牙科协会表示，当智齿只有部分穿过牙龈时，通常建议拔除。
        The American Dental Association says removal is generally advised when wisdom teeth only partly break through the gums.

如果放置不当的智齿会损害其他牙齿，也建议拔除。
Removal is also advised if there is a chance that poorly placed wisdom teeth will damage other teeth.

如果智齿部分或全部在牙龈以下，会导致水肿，也需要拔掉。
And removal is called for in cases where fluid collects around a wisdom tooth that is partly or fully below the gum.


        但是，如果我们经常需要拔掉智齿，为什么我们会有智齿呢?
        But why do we have wisdom teeth if we often need to get them removed?

一种理论与我们的饮食有关。
One theory has to do with our diets.

科学家说，史前人类的饮食可能需要更多的咀嚼牙齿。
Scientists say the diet of prehistoric humans probably required more chewing teeth.

当时的人们生活的很艰苦。
Life was probably a little rougher on the teeth back then, too.

所以需要更多的牙齿
So it was good to have extras.


        美国口腔协会医生表示：
        The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial(上颌面的) Surgeons says

年轻人是拔除智齿的最佳人选。
young adults are the best candidates for wisdom teeth removal.

该组织表示，年纪较大的患者牙齿周围组织患病的风险更大。
The group says older patients may be at greater risk for disease in the tissue surrounding the teeth.

手术后，牙龈和面部会肿胀，并伴有疼痛。
After surgery,there can be swelling of the gums and face and some pain.

两者都可以用冷敷和药物治疗
Both can be treated with cold wraps and medication(药物治疗).

B. they have erupted from the gums 它们从牙龈中冒出来
C. they don't have place to grow normally 它们没有正常生长的地方

        当你把同一段文字读了10遍，你还是像读古埃及文一样，
        When you've read the same paragraph 10 times and you still make little of it as you are reading ancient Egyptian,

如果你不是在学习古埃及语，是时候放下书本了。
and you're not studying ancient Egyptian, it's time for you to put the books down.

专家表示，良好的休息是备考的关键部分，实际上可以让你的大脑更好地工作。
Experts say good breaks are a critical part of exam preparation and actually make your brain work better.


        卡尔加里大学学生会健康中心主任黛比·布鲁克纳说，
        Debbie Bruckner, the director of the Student Union Wellness Centre at the University of Calgary,

说超负荷的大脑停止处理新信息。
says an overburdened brain stops processing new information.

她说:“你必须先把它记在短期记忆里，然后再把它记在长期记忆里。”
"You've got to put it into your short-term memory and then move it into your long-term memory, " she says.

要做到这一点，你需要停止往脑子里死记硬背新知识。
To do that, you need to stop cramming new knowledge into your head.


        心理学家乔安妮·米尔斯说，大多数人一次可以集中注意力45分钟到一个小时，
        Psychologist Joanne Mills says most people can concentrate for 45 minutes to an hour at a time,

但之后需要15分钟的休息。
but then need 15 minutes to rest.

她建议你15分钟的休息项目是——散步，听音乐。
She suggests picking your break activity -- taking a walk, listening to music - and setting a timer for 15 minutes.

她说:“这是你大脑休息的过程。”
“It's a cue to your mind" she says.

        米尔斯还建议设定目标，并在达到目标后停止。
        Mills also suggests setting targets and stopping when you've reached them.

“一些学生即使没有完成他们开始做的事情，也会休息
"Some students will take that break even if they haven't finished what they set out to do and then

然后他们并没有真正放松或享受，因为他们的大脑一直在想“我必须，我应该，我必须”。’”
they don't really relax or enjoy it because their mind is racing with 'I must,I should, I have to.’ "

如果你的大脑还在转动，利用这股冲劲，直到你手中的资料被使用干净，
If you're in the flow, ride the momentum until you come to a natural break in the material,

然后再设置一次计时器，到街角的商店走走。
then set the timer again and walk to the corner store.


        交替读你正在读的书也有帮助。
        Alternating which books you're hitting also helps.

先学一个小时英语，然后再转到数学上来。
Work on English for an hour, then switch to math.

就像在健身房锻炼多块肌肉，
It's like exercising multiple muscles at the gym,

因为你大脑的不同部分在处理不同的问题。
as different parts of your brain work for different subjects.

        布鲁克纳说，为了在考试的压力下保持健康的身心气质，
        Bruckner says that to maintain a healthy mind-body-spirit temperament in the heat of exam season,

拿着日程表坐下来。
sit down with your calendar.

        “制定一个月的时间表，什么时候交作业
        "Make a schedule for a month —— when your assignments are due,

什么时候期末考试，应该重点复习哪些地方。”她说。
when your final exams are, what the weighting is for each," she says.

        所有的友谊都需要一定程度的化学反应。
        All friendships require a certain amount of chemistry.

但当两名异性成为朋友时，
But when two people of the opposite sex become friends,

有时候，那些友好的感觉会开始变得更像是性紧张。
sometimes those friendly feelings can start to resemble something more like sexual tension.


        男女友谊可能是隐藏欲望的情感雷区。
        Male-female friendships can be an emotional minefield of hidden desires.

这是否意味着你偷偷地想和你所有的朋友上床?
Does this mean you secretly want to jump into bed with all of your friends?

当然不是。但你有没有想过，如果机会出现，他们中有多少人会感兴趣?
Of course not. But do you ever wonder how many of them might be interested if the opportunity presented itself?

也许你和你的柏拉图式友谊只是一次糟糕的分手然后一瓶酒就能跨越界限，勾搭上了
Maybe you and your platonic(柏拉图式的) friendship are just a bad breakup and a bottle of wine away from crossing that boundary and hooking up(结合).


        那么，两名异性真的能“只是朋友”吗?
        So can two people of the opposite sex ever really be “just friends? "

对于这个古老的问题，好莱坞的回答是 : 绝对不可以。
The Hollywood answer to this age-old question is a decisive HELL NO.

银幕上，男女友谊总是会变成哈利和莎莉（美国电影When Harry met Sally中的主人公），
On screen, male-female friendships always turn into something more Harry and Sally,

钱德勒和莫妮卡（美国电影Driends中的人物），吉姆和帕姆（美国电视剧The Office中的人物）还需要我举更多的例子吗?
Chandler and Monica, Jim and Pam do I need to go on?

就连《只是朋友》中的角色最终也超出了电影名字所界定的范畴。
Even the characters in Just Friends wind up becoming much more than the film's definitive title suggests.

电影故事表明，当相当有魅力的男女成为朋友时，
Cinematic stories dictate that when reasonably attractive men and women befriend one another,

他们总是在浪漫的路上，不管他们是否意识到。
they are always on the road to romance, whether they realize it or not.


        但是这种友谊的前戏理论到底有多少真实性呢?
        But how much truth is there to this friendship as foreplay(性爱前奏) theory?

不是很多。现实生活不是浪漫喜剧。
Not a whole lot. Real life isn't a romantic comedy.

男人和女人一起上学，
Men and women go to school together,

在柏拉图式的场景下一起工作，一起出去玩，但不会无可救药地爱上对方。
work together and hang out in plenty of platonic settings without falling hopelessly in love with one another.


        去年，我的一位亲密女性朋友和一位新的男性室友住在一起。
        Last year, a close female friend of mine moved in with a new male roommate.

我的第一反应是:“你们俩肯定要睡在一起。”
My immediate reaction was, “You two are definitely going to sleep together."

在我看来，生活在同一个屋檐下的单身男女，最终不可避免地会这样做，令我惊讶的是，
It seemed to me that a single man and woman living under the same roof would inevitably end up doing it Much to my surprise,

室友恋情从未发生过。
the roommate romance never happened.

将近一年过去了，他们俩甚至从未接近于看到对方的裸体。
Almost one year later, the two of them have never even come close to seeing each other naked.

相反，他们的生活方式已经变得类似于无性婚姻。
Instead, their way of life has come to resemble a sexless marriage.

他们为对方做饭，为家庭琐事争吵，并坚持从不会去想，关于性的那些事。
They cook for each other, argue over domestic chores and insist that they never, ever think about each other "that way."

        它是世界上第四重要的粮食作物，
        It is the world's fourth -most -important food crop,

排在玉米、小麦和水稻之后。
after maize, wheat and rice.

它比任何其他植物提供更多的卡路里，生长的更快，使用更少的土地，并且比其它植物它能在不同的环境气候下生长。
It provides more calories, more quickly, using less land and in a wider range of climates than any other plant.

当然它就是土豆。
It is, of course, the potato.


        联合国希望，对土豆优点的更多认识将有助于实现其千年发展目标，
        The United Nations has hoped that greater awareness of the merits of potatoes will contribute to the achievement of its Millennium Development Goals,

通过帮助减少贫困和促进经济发展。
by helping to reduce poverty and promote economic development.


        马铃薯支持了19世纪英国的工业革命，从而促进了经济的发展。
        The potato promoted economic development by supporting the Industrial Revolution in England in the 19th century.

它提供了一种廉价的卡路里来源，而且易于种植，
It provided a cheap source of calories and was easy to cultivate,

所以它把工人从土地上解放出来。
so it liberated workers from the land.

土豆在英格兰北部开始流行，
Potatoes became popular in the north of England,

那里的人专门从事畜牧业和家庭工业，
as people there specialized in livestock farming and domestic industry,

而南方的农民则专注于小麦生产。
while farmers in the south concentrated on wheat production.

幸运的是，工业活动集中在煤炭容易获得的地区，
By a happy accident,the concentrated industrial activity in the regions where coal was readily available,

土豆带动的人口增长为新工厂提供了充足的工人。
and a potato-driven population boom provided ample workers for the new factories.

弗里德里希·恩格斯甚至宣称，土豆在“历史上具有革命性的作用”，可以与铁平起平坐
Friedrich Engels even declared that the potato was the equal of iron for its "historically revolutionary role"


        土豆以炸薯条的形式，与汉堡和可口可乐一起供应，现在是全球化的象征。
        In the form of French fries, served alongside burgers and Coca-Cola, potatoes are now a symbol of globalization.

这是一个相当大的变化，因为在16世纪，当他们来到旧世界时，首先迎接他们的是怀疑论。
This is quite a change given the skepticism which first greeted them on their arrival in the Old World in the l6th century.

很多人认为它们只适合动物，
They were variously thought to be fit only for animals,

与魔鬼有关或有毒。
to be associated with the devil or to be poisonous.

它们在18世纪的欧洲开始流行，当时战争和饥荒意味着没有其他食物可吃;
They took hold in 18th-century Europe only when war and famine meant there was nothing else to eat;

这时人们才意识到它们是多么有用和可靠。
people then realized just how useful and reliable they were.

正如马铃薯的众多崇拜者之一亚当·斯密在当时观察到，
As Adam Smith, one of the potato's many admirers, observed at the time,

“在这些王国，土豆被普遍作为人们的食物就足以证明一个国家在饮食方面的偏见，
"The very general use which is made of potatoes in these kingdoms as food for man is a convincing proof that the prejudices of a nation, with regard to diet,

不管它有多么根深蒂固，也绝不是不可改变的。”
however deeply rooted, are by no means unconquerable."

捣碎、炸、煮、烤，一个不起眼的土豆改变了世界，
Mashed, fried, boiled and roast, a humble potato changed the world,

世界各地的人们都应该庆祝它。
and people everywhere should celebrate it.


第三段主要描述

研究人员提供的证据支持了我们大多数人已经知道的一个道理——一杯茶可以解决任何危机。

        在许多西方国家，
        In many Western countries,

相当多的父母把孩子从学校带走，让他们在家自学。
a considerable number of parents have removed their children from school and are teaching them at home.

这些孩子通常在父母的指导下，在家里完成所有正常的课程。
Such children do all their normal lessons at home, often under the guidance of a parent.

首先要考虑的是这是否合法。
The first thing to consider is whether this is legal or not.

在大多数国家，
In most countries it is,

只要父母能证明他们的孩子正在接受与国家教育系统提供的教育相等的适当教育。
so long as parents can prove that their children are receiving an adequate education, equal to that provided by their state educational system.

其次要考虑的是父母是否有时间，
The next consideration is whether the parents have the time,

自律、智慧和耐心一周又一周地教自己的孩子，
self-discipline, intelligence and patience to teach their own child week after week,

日复一日，连续几个小时。
day in and day out, for hours on end.

接下来的问题是教授什么以及如何教授。
Then there is the problem of what will be taught, and how.

你认为奖励和奖品能起到有用的作用吗?
Do you think awards and prizes can serve a useful purpose?

        一个奖项，不管是诺贝尔奖，还是学院的奖励
        A prize or award, whether it's the Nobel Prize, the Academy Award,

或是小学的最佳书法奖，都很重要。
or the Best Handwriting Award in an elementary school, is important.

它们可以起到有用的作用，
They can serve a useful purpose,

因为它们可以产生经济、个人和社会影响，丰富赢家的生活。
because they can have economic, personal, and social effects that enrich the life of the winners.


        每个奖项都像诺贝尔奖一样。
        Prizes like the Nobel Prize are each award.

获奖者会受到经济上的鼓励。
The winners are encouraged financially.

他们可以用这些钱来改善他们的生活和工作条件，
They can use the money to improve their living and working conditions,

正如我们所知，许多获奖者将这些钱用于他们进一步的研究和学习。
and as we know that many of the winners use the money for their further research and studies.

一个奖项，就像奥斯卡奖，给人们荣誉。
An award, like the Academy Award, gives people honors.

这也是对接受者的一种鼓励。
This is also an encouragement to the recipients.

例如，一位获得奥斯卡最佳女主角奖的女演员
For example, an actress who wins best actress with the Academy Award

会比那些没有获奖的女演员获得更多的角色和更高的薪水。
will be offered more roles and a higher pay than actresses who don't win.

即使一个小学的男孩获得了学校的最佳书法奖，也会为自己感到骄傲
Even an elementary school boy who received the school's Best Handwriting Award will be proud of himself

并且可能会从父母或祖父母那里得到一份祝贺礼物。
and may get a congratulation gift from his parents or grandparents.


        获得任何奖励的个人好处是显而易见的。
        The personal benefits of receiving any award are evident.

任何获奖者都很高兴，因为他或她的工作被公认为是成功的。
Any award winner is pleased because he or she has been recognized as successful in his or her work.

这就是为什么当很多人获得奥斯卡奖时，他们经常因为快乐而哭泣。
That's why when many people receive the Academy Award,they often cry because of happiness.

        所以我们可以说，奖励和奖励在鼓励人们更努力工作和更成功方面起到了非常有用的作用。
        So we can say that awards and prizes serve a very useful purpose in encouraging people to work harder and to be more successful.
