EP192 🐘「象」有心聲、心心「象」印
Feb 18, 202500:10:26Tap to summarize大象所付出的感情與靈性，比我們想像中的還豐富？ Do you know that elephants have amazing memories? They may not have the greatest eyesight （視力）in the animal kingdom, but they never forget a face. In addition to （除了⋯）having great memories, elephants are also very intelligent. They can solve puzzles, do simple math, and use tools. A recent study suggests that they may even address （稱呼）each other by name. Scientists from Colorado University analyzed 49 elephant calls from wild African elephants. With the help from AI, scientists discovered that elephants could recognize name-like calls. Elephants seem to assign a particular sound to the individual（個體）. Next scientists want to find out more about how elephants use names. Elephants have many humanlike behaviors. In addition to addressing each other with names, elephants also celebrate when they meet friends after time apart（許久未見）. They also seem to grieve （哀悼）when a member of their community passes away. So by knowing more about elephants, we also learn more about human behaviors. ☕️想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡，讓學習的湧泉源源不絕吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
Transcribe →EP191 🎨「藝」想不到的AI時代
Feb 11, 202500:09:21Tap to summarize既然AI都來搶藝術家飯碗了，會不會以後的美與醜，都是AI機器人說了算？ When ChatGPT was first introduced to the world, we were at first impressed with what AI could do. Pretty soon we were hit with the reality（遭受現實打擊） that many jobs today would one day cease to exist（不存在） because they would be replaced by AI. One field that people believe might be rendered obsolete（視為過時） is arts, and it might happen faster than you think. In November last year,a painting created by a humanoid（人形機器人）, a human-like robot with a female voice and short, black hair, was sold at an auction for 1.08 million dollars. The artwork is called AI God, and it’s a portrait of Alan Turing, a 20th century British mathematician whose ideas led up to the development of computers and artificial intelligence. People are debating over （爭論不休）whether an artwork made by a robot can be labeled as art. Clearly more debates similar to this issue will take place in the future as artificial intelligence takes over more human jobs. ☕️想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡，讓學習的湧泉源源不絕吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
Transcribe →EP190 | 📋新年新希望得有伴一起來，才不寂寞孤單
Feb 3, 202500:10:23Tap to summarizeAt the beginning of a new year, many people like to make New Year Resolutions（新年新希望）, but most resolutions tend to focus on oneself. For example, some people want to lose weight, some want to get better grades, some wish to find a partner, and some resolve to go to bed earlier. Although there’s nothing wrong with self-improvement, experts have suggested that focusing on the relationships between people around us may go a long way（長期而言） to making us happier. One long-running study on human happiness shows that our interpersonal relationships （人際互動關係）are essential to our well-being（身心健康）. So how can one make New Year Resolutions around bettering our relationship? Well, you can start small by simply noticing the times when people help you. This can shift your perspective （改變觀點）to remember that happiness isn’t something we achieve alone. Another relationship goal you can try to set is turning a solo pursuit into a two-person goal. For example, if there’s a sibling that you want to have more connection with, you can just call and say something like, I was thinking that we don’t see each other often enough, and I’d like to spend more time with you in the new year. Can we work on this together? Ultimately creating moments of love will make your life more meaningful! 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Transcribe →EP188 | 🪨「隕」你同在：隕石不只會攻擊地球
Jan 20, 202500:06:30Tap to summarizeDo you know that from September 29 to November 25, the moon won’t be the only celestial being （天體）that orbits （繞行）the earth? If you look up into the space using a high definition telescope（高畫質望遠鏡）, you will in fact see a mini moon, an asteroid named 2024 PT5. An asteroid（隕石） is a small rocky object that travels around the sun. After November 25, this mini moon will leave the earth‘s gravitational pull（地心引力） and fling back into the outer space. Even though we can’t see it with our naked eye since it’s only the size of a school bus, I personally think it’s so comforting to know that besides the moon, our planet will have a new companion for two months in this vast universe. And this asteroid will return to earth’s orbit again in 2025 and 2055. Scientists are interested in getting to know more about asteroids because they contain minerals （礦物質）and water that could be useful to humans in the future in our space exploration. ☕️想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡，讓學習的湧泉源源不絕吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
Transcribe →EP187 | 🔋「鋰」未來不遠的電動車
Jan 13, 202500:08:41Tap to summarizeFor people who bet in the future of electric vehicles, this will be an exciting piece of news. Researchers in Arkansas, a state in the Midwest of the US, have announced that they have found huge reserve of lithium （鋰的儲備區）in southern region of the state. Lithium is a valuable, scarce raw material that’s needed to make batteries for electric vehicles. According to the scientists involved, there might be five to nineteen million tons of lithium （鋰）buried in that geological area, which will be more than enough to make the world‘s demand（需求）. However, they need to figure out how to extract lithium without causing too much destruction （破壞）on the environment. Most of us probably don’t know that lithium is tough to mine and has been linked to pollution, water depletion （水源浩劫）and other environmental problems. So actual mining of it won’t take place any time soon. ⛽️石油即將開採殆盡的世紀，卻又發現新能源所需的資源，是不是開始對未來感到無限可能了呢？♾️ ☕️想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡，讓學習的湧泉源源不絕吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
Transcribe →EP186 | 🌍地理學家：地球上七大洲，根本沒那麼多！
Jan 6, 202500:08:45Tap to summarizeRemember back in elementary school days, you are asked to memorize that there are seven continents in the world. And they are Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Antarctica, Africa, Oceania. You are even asked to do some worksheets to help you memorize all of the seven. Well, that number might change in the future. According to an October article in the New York Times, based on any maps, one can clearly see that Asia and Europe are connected, which is why they are often called Eurasia. If this observation is true, shouldn’t there be just six continents? Moreover, North America and Asia are connected by Bering Sea Shelf, which was once dry land 15000 years ago, and that was how prehistoric humans migrated transcontinentally. Looking from this perspective, aren’t Asia, Europe, and North America technically one continent? So we would end up with only five continents? The disagreement occurs partly because there are two definitions of continents：those recognized by cultures around the world and those recognized by geologists. Both of these two don’t offer clear cut explanations and definitions. One group of geologists even go as far to say that there are only two continents on Earth, Antarctica and everything else. If this train of belief becomes mainstream, imagine how we will all have to relearn everything. 以地理學的觀點來重新認識地球上七大洲，洲洲其實有相連。以前死背背那麼多… 反而越想越心酸?😭 Asia 亞洲 Europe 歐洲 North America 北美洲 South America 南美洲 Antarctica 南極洲 Africa 非洲 Oceania 大洋洲 Eurasia 歐亞大陸 Bering Sea 白令海 ☕️想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡，讓學習的湧泉源源不絕吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
Transcribe →EP185 | 📚熬夜趕作業的博士生意外發現失落的古瑪雅城市
Dec 30, 202400:09:30Tap to summarizeImagine discovering a lost city while you are pulling an all-nighter to finish your history paper. That’s what happened to an archeology student studying in Tulane University in Louisiana. Luke Auld-Thomas, a doctoral student at Tulane spotted the ancient Mayan site in the scans collected by NASA using lidar, a technology that uses airborne lasers to penetrate dense vegetation. The ruins were unknown to archaeologists, but some farmers living in that region of Mexico were aware of the site‘s existence. Luke and his colleagues named the lost city Valeriana, after a nearby lagoon. They estimated the city may have had a population of as many as 50,000 people at its peak between AD 750-850. Researchers expect to discover more ancient Mayan cities in the future. The findings will make the collapse of Mayan civilization even more mysterious: The more people there were, the more difficult it is to explain the massive depopulation later on. 🤨隨著古瑪雅遺址被發現得越多，能解釋文明崩解的真相就越來越遠？ pull an all-nighter 熬夜做作業 lidar 光學雷達掃描儀 doctoral student 博士班學生 scan 掃描 airborne 空氣傳播的 penetrate 滲透 dense vegetation 茂密的植被 ☕️ 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
