智能家居设备每年都变得越来越流行。许多人仅通过语音就能控制灯光、播放音乐或查询天气。然而，一些用户担心自己的隐私，因为这些设备一直在静候指令。为了安全地享受这种便利，在不用设备时关闭麦克风并定期更新软件是明智之举。[Q26] 说话者对智能家居用户的主要建议是什么？

Giving a presentation in front of the class can be stressful. To build your confidence, try practicing in front of a mirror or recording yourself.

[Q27] According to the speaker, how can students make their presentations better?

都市园艺最近受到了很多关注。住在公寓里的人们正把他们的阳台变成绿色的小空间。这不仅仅是为了种植新鲜蔬菜，许多人还发现照料植物有助于缓解日常压力。从罗勒或薄荷等易于种植的香草植物开始，是开启这项有意义的爱好的绝佳方式。

Many grocery stores are now placing fresh fruits and vegetables right near the entrance. This is a deliberate design choice. When customers buy healthy items first, they tend to feel less guilty about purchasing unhealthy snacks later in the store. Understanding this trick can help you make better decisions and save money on your next shopping trip. [Q29] Why do grocery stores put healthy food near the entrance?

中文翻译

许多超市现在将新鲜的水果和蔬菜直接摆放在紧邻入口的地方。这是一种刻意的设计选择。当顾客先购买了健康食品时，之后在店里购买不健康的零食时，内疚感往往会减轻。了解这个套路可以帮助你在下次购物时做出更好的决策并省下钱。[Q29] 为什么超市要把健康食品放在入口附近？

When traveling, many of us want to bring back souvenirs. However, buying items made from local wildlife, such as shells or feathers, can harm the environment.

[Q30] What kind of souvenirs does the speaker encourage travelers to buy?

中文翻译

旅行时，我们很多人都想带回一些纪念品。然而，购买用当地野生动植物制作的物品（例如贝壳或羽毛）可能会破坏生态环境。相反，大家可以考虑购买手工艺品来支持当地的艺术家。这样，你不仅能带回家一份独特的记忆，还能在保护大自然的同时帮助当地社区。[Q30] 说话者鼓励旅行者购买哪种纪念品？

Getting enough sleep is crucial for our brains to function properly. While we sleep, our brains process the information we learned during the day and clear out waste. Studies show that teenagers who sleep less than eight hours a night often struggle to focus in class. Therefore, keeping a regular sleep schedule is just as important as studying hard. [Q31] According to the speaker, what is one benefit of getting enough sleep?

中文翻译

充足的睡眠对我们大脑的正常运转至关重要。在我们睡觉时，大脑会处理我们白天学到的信息，并清除代谢废物。研究表明，每晚睡眠不足八小时的青少年往往在课堂上难以集中注意力。因此，保持规律的作息与努力学习同样重要。

Many people believe that multitasking is the best way to get things done quickly. However, research suggests that switching between tasks actually lowers productivity and increases mistakes.

[Q32] What does the speaker suggest doing to improve productivity?

中文翻译

许多人认为同时处理多项任务是快速完成工作的最佳方式。然而，研究表明，在不同任务之间切换实际上会降低工作效率并增加出错率。与其同时处理所有事情，不如尝试专注于一项任务25分钟，然后进行短暂休息。你很可能会发现，自己完成工作的速度更快，而且出错也更少。

Ice cream is enjoyed all over the world today, but its history might surprise you. Long ago, people in ancient Rome collected snow from the mountains and mixed it with honey and fruit.

[Q33] Why was ice cream a luxury in ancient Rome?

中文翻译

如今，冰淇淋深受世界各地人们的喜爱，但它的历史可能会让你大吃一惊。很久以前，古罗马人从山上收集积雪，并将其与蜂蜜和水果混合在一起。这是一种只有富人才能享用的奢侈品，因为获取新鲜的积雪非常困难。直到现代制冷技术发明之后，冰淇淋才得以普及。[Q33] 为什么冰淇淋在古罗马是一种奢侈品？

With summer temperatures rising globally, cities are looking for ways to stay cool. One innovative solution is painting building roofs white. Dark roofs absorb heat from the sun, making buildings much hotter inside. White roofs, on the other hand, reflect sunlight away, which reduces the need for air conditioning and lowers energy bills for residents. [Q34] How do white roofs help cool down buildings?

中文翻译

随着全球夏季气温升高，各大城市都在寻找降温的方法。一个创新的解决方案是将建筑物的屋顶漆成白色。深色屋顶会吸收太阳的热量，使建筑物内部变得更加炎热。相反，白色屋顶可以将阳光反射出去，从而减少对空调的需求，并降低居民的电费。[Q34] 白色屋顶是如何帮助建筑物降温的？

We often look to books and websites for historical information, but some of the best stories are right in our own homes. Talking to our grandparents about their youth can give us a unique view of the past. They can share what life was like before smartphones, how they spent their free time, and the challenges they faced. These personal histories are valuable treasures that we should preserve. [Q35] What does the speaker encourage listeners to do?

中文翻译

我们经常在书本和网站中寻找历史信息，但其实一些最棒的故事就在我们自己家里。与祖父母聊聊他们的年轻时代，可以让我们对过去有独特的认识。他们可以分享智能手机出现前的生活是什么样的，他们是如何度过闲暇时光的，以及他们曾面临哪些挑战。这些个人经历是值得我们去保留的宝贵财富。
