时文选读 | 数字游民：自由与挑战并存的漂泊人生

时文选读| 数字游民：自由与挑战并存的漂泊人生Life as a digital nomad六级 偏易| 337词 刘立军供稿Part I. PassageIf you could work from any location in the world, where would you go? Picture filling in a spreadsheet on a sandy Caribbean island, or maybe a little rooftop cafe in Rome where you can sip an espresso while editing a social media video. More and more countries are offering digital nomad visas and therefore the chance to work remotely, from wherever you’d like to.This way of working is on the rise. A 2023 report found that 11% of US workers now consider themselves a digital nomad, and this type of worker is expected to increase in number by more than 20 million in the next five years. Traditionally, digital nomads have worked freelance. They might be social media managers, software developers or copywriters, but now even traditional professions like accountants and lawyers are taking the leap. But what is the life of a digital nomad really like?Rowena Hennigan, who writes for Harvard Business Review, is a digital nomad along with her family. They have a ‘home base’ in Spain but frequently go away for workcations that can last from weeks to months. She says that compared to a ‘traditional’ model of raising children, “remote working has allowed my family to move away from that kind of intensity, and this way, we all get to move at a more sustainable and healthy pace.” Plus, her family are regularly exposed to new cultures, languages and natural beauty.Though it doesn’t work for everyone. Francesca Specter, a writer for The Guardian, decided to country-hop where her ‘office’ included beaches, cafes and coworking spaces. But along with struggling to find reliable wi-fi and fighting bouts of loneliness, she wrote that she felt envious as she cooled her overheating laptop in the shade while holidaymakers relaxed by the pool. She said, “I was chronically firefighting unglamorous concerns such as missing luggage or sleep deprivation after an overnight flight delay.”So, it’s not for everyone, but if you ever feel like escaping the rat-race, why not give it a go?【Vocabulary】1. spreadsheet n. 电子表格2. espresso n. 浓缩咖啡3. nomad n. 游牧者，流浪者4. freelance adv. 自由职业地5. copywriter n. 文案撰稿人6. accountant n. 会计师7. workcation n. 边工作边度假8. country-hop v. 边工作边穿梭于不同国家旅行9. bout n.一阵（情绪）10. rat-race n. 激烈竞争的生活方式Part II. QuestionsQ1. According to the text, what is one reason digital nomad visas are becoming popular?A. They allow people to work without restrictions.B. They offer opportunities to work from any location.C. They guarantee reliable wi-fi and coworking spaces.D. They encourage traditional professions to go freelance.Q2. What does Rowena Hennigan say about remote working compared to traditional parenting models?A. It allows her family to travel without a home base.B. It exposes her family to fewer cultural experiences.C. It helps her family adopt a healthier and sustainable pace.D. It reduces the need for childcare and traditional schooling.Q3. What can be inferred about the lifestyle of digital nomads?A. It offers flexibility but comes with unique challenges.B. It is only suitable for people in creative industries.C. It eliminates the need for a permanent home base.D. It guarantees a glamorous and stress-free work life.Q4. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To encourage readers to adopt a digital nomad lifestyle.B. To explain how digital nomads overcome work challenges.C. To compare digital nomadism with traditional work models.D. To analyze the pros and cons of being a digital nomad.Part III. KEYQ1. 【答案】B【解析】细节题。题目出处为：More and more countries are offering digital nomad visas and therefore the chance to work remotely, from wherever you’d like to. 意为：“越来越多的国家开始提供数字游民签证，让人们可以远程工作，并在任何自己想去的地方办公。”这里明确指出数字游民签证提供了远程工作的机会，使人们得以“在任何地方工作”，因此正确答案为B。Q2. 【答案】C【解析】细节题。题目出处为：Remote working has allowed my family to move away from that kind of intensity, and this way, we all get to move at a more sustainable and healthy pace. 意为：“远程办公让我家人得以远离那种高强度的生活节奏，以更可持续、更健康的方式生活。”这里强调了远程工作对家庭节奏的积极影响，帮助Rowena Hennigan一家摆脱紧张状态并实现可持续的生活方式，因此正确答案为C。Q3. 【答案】A【解析】推理题。题目出处为：Though it doesn’t work for everyone. Francesca Specter, a writer for The Guardian, decided to country-hop … But along with struggling to find reliable wi-fi and fighting bouts of loneliness, she wrote that she felt envious as she cooled her overheating laptop in the shade while holidaymakers relaxed by the pool. 意为：“但这种生活方式并不适合所有人。《卫报》撰稿人弗朗西丝卡·斯派克特（Francesca Specter）决定在不同国家间“跳岛”旅行……但同时，她也在努力寻找可靠的无线网络并与孤独作斗争。她写道，当她在阴凉处给过热的笔记本降温时，看着度假者在泳池边放松，她感到羡慕。”这个案例指出了数字游民生活方式的灵活性及其伴随的挑战，如可能会孤独或遇到网络不畅等问题，因此可以推断，它既有优势也有挑战，因此正确答案为A。Q4. 【答案】D【解析】主旨题。文章分析了数字游民生活方式的优缺点，既指出了其灵活性和跨文化体验，又揭示了其背后的孤独和可能遇到的困难。整篇文章的核心是分析数字游民生活方式的优缺点，而不是单纯鼓励或比较，因此正确答案为D。（本文图片来源于摄图网，版权归摄图网所有)

为什么“忘性大”反而对你有好处？Why forgetting is good for you 常速 | 五级（易）| 379词 | 2min9s刘立军供稿Part I. QUESTIONSListen to the news and choose the best answer to each question you hear.Q1. According to neuroscientist Charan Ranganath, why is forgetting beneficial?A. It allows people to avoid embarrassing situations.B. It helps people prioritize and retrieve relevant memories.C. It prevents people from remembering unpleasant events.D. It improves people’s ability to memorize new faces.Q2. What can be inferred about the brain’s ability to update memories?A. It requires forgetting irrelevant details to adapt to new information.B. It improves with age and accumulated knowledge.C. It depends on memorizing faces and schedules.D. It is hindered by the tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon.Q3. What does the tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon suggest about memory?A. Forgotten memories cannot be retrieved.B. Some memories are temporarily inaccessible.C. Older people experience this phenomenon less frequently.D. It occurs when people forget irrelevant details.Q4. What analogy do Sanjay Sarma and Luke Yoquinto use to describe forgetting?A. Forgetting is like a crumbling cliff.B. Forgetting is like a collapsing building.C. Forgetting is like a deep forest house.D. Forgetting is like a fading photograph.Q5. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To explain why forgetting is a natural process of aging.B. To explore the connection between memory and emotions.C. To highlight the negative effects of memory loss.D. To discuss the advantages of forgetting.Part II. TRANSCRIPTWhy forgetting is good for you Have you ever bumped into someone and their name just doesn’t come to you? Or, you walk into a room and suddenly can’t recall why you’re there? Being forgetful can be really annoying, sometimes even embarrassing. But what if I told you that there are actually good reasons for our memories fading away?In a BBC interview, neuroscientist Charan Ranganath uses a hoarding analogy. We don’t tend to store everything we’ve ever owned in our house. Similarly, we don’t need to store all our memories either. He says, (Q1) “If we didn’t forget anything, we’d be hoarding memories, and you’d never be able to find what you want, when you want it.” For example, you don’t need to remember the hotel number weeks after you’ve left the hotel or memorize all the faces you pass on the street.neuroscientist n. 神经科学家hoarding n. 贮藏，囤积We also need to be able to forget things in order to update our memories with new information. Imagine you get used to the same school timetable or work schedule for a whole year, but the next year, you have new procedures or routines. (Q2) Your brain needs to be flexible and forget irrelevant details in order to handle the new information. Or, maybe it’s been 10 years since you last saw a distant relative. It’s likely their face has changed a lot since then, so that memory needs to be updated as well.And, if you’ve ever been convinced that you know a word, but it just doesn’t pop into your head, you’re not alone. (Q3) This tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon may suggest that some things are not fully forgotten, just currently inaccessible. Those with a higher level of knowledge are more affected by this, according to studies such as ‘Impact of knowledge and age on tip-of-the-tongue rates’, because their brains have to sort through more information to find the word.tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon 舌尖效应，指心理学中“话到嘴边却无法说出”的现象Memories are sometimes compared to a cliff: once they have crumbled, they are lost and cannot be retrieved. However, in their article ‘Forgetfulness: Why your mind going blank can be a benefit’, Sanjay Sarma and Luke Yoquinto write that (Q4) forgetting, it seems, is “less like a cliff slowly collapsing into the sea, and more like a house deep in the woods that becomes harder and harder to find”.crumble v. 崩塌，碎裂retrieve v. 找回，恢复Part III. KEYQ1. B. 【解析】细节题。题目出处为：If we didn’t forget anything, we’d be hoarding memories, and you’d never be able to find what you want, when you want it. 意为：“如果我们什么都忘不掉，我们就会囤积大量记忆，而你将永远无法在需要时找到你想要的那段记忆。”文章提到遗忘有助于我们优先处理和检索相关记忆，因此正确答案为B。Q2. A. 推理题。题目出处为：Your brain needs to be flexible and forget irrelevant details in order to handle the new information. 意为：“你的大脑需要保持灵活性，忘掉那些不相关的细节，才能更好地处理新的信息。”从中可以推断，遗忘是为了存储新信息而必需的过程，因此正确答案为A。Q3. B. 细节题。题目出处为：This tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon may suggest that some things are not fully forgotten, just currently inaccessible. 意为：“‘话到嘴边却想不起来’的现象可能表明，有些信息并非被完全遗忘，而只是暂时无法提取。”因此正确答案为B。Q4. C. 细节题。题目出处为：Forgetting, it seems, is ‘less like a cliff slowly collapsing into the sea, and more like a house deep in the woods that becomes harder and harder to find.’ 意为：“遗忘似乎更像是‘一座深藏林中的房屋，变得越来越难找到’，而不像‘悬崖缓慢崩塌入海’那样彻底消失。”正确答案为C。Q5. D. 【解析】主旨题。文章主要讨论了遗忘的好处，涉及更新信息和避免记忆过载，因此正确答案为D。（本文图片来源于摄图网，版权归摄图网所有)

Did that train you in the art of looking for the unexpected?VA: Yes, yes, very much so. I mean (Q7) I was fortunate enough to work with a series of fantastic scientists, Bob and David, and before that, I worked with a postdoc named Edward Gruberg, and Gruberg was a fantastic mentor and really got me alerted to the fact that you can find out new things doing sort of routine experiments, you know. And he also taught me how to read the literature and therefore train myself, you know, to be aware of what’s known and what’s not known, so that you can notice what’s new.mentor n. 导师AS: It’s also a celebration of the versatility of RNA this prize, isn’t it, I mean, yet again, something unexpected?VA: Yeah, that’s actually very exciting to consider that, yeah, you made a really good point.

You should avoid that. Petting animals, which you don’t know. You should avoid that. Playing with puppies when there’s a mom and she’s not looking very happy. You should avoid that. (Q3) If we know how to behave around animals, if we can understand what they are telling us through their body language, we can actually avoid bites. And the best audience for this are the ones that are most affected by rabies, and those are children. So when we implement school programs around you know how to behave around animals, hygiene with animals, that is the audience we need to speak to. (Q4) And that also nurtures responsible animal ownership, which is actually the underlying need in most places. If you have an animal, you have a responsibility to care for it and also to provide it with the health care it needs.petting v. 抚摸puppy n. 小狗Vismita Gupta-Smith: Bernadette, growing up in India, I was bitten twice by street dogs. One of them was, a dog that had newborn pups and was very protective about them. And after I was bitten, I received 14 injections in my abdomen, which was very painful. How have vaccines changed since then?abdomen n. 腹部Bernadette Abela: The vaccine you got as a child, that is an outdated vaccine. It’s called nerve tissue vaccine. We do not use it anymore. WHO has stopped recommending this vaccine for decades already. (Q5) There is a new vaccine which is, very safe and effective and not painful. It is administered in the shoulder as with many other vaccines and can protect you against rabies. You can use vaccines after a bite to protect you against developing rabies. And that’s, as I said, (Q6)sort of fighting the virus by racing it to the brain so our body can build immunity before the virus reaches the brain. You won’t develop rabies. The other way is many people work with animals or work in laboratories or travel to exotic places where they may be exposed to rabies. In that case, you can also have vaccination to protect you in advance of any type of exposure being a bite or other.Vismita Gupta-Smith: When you’re bitten, what should be your next steps?Bernadette Abela: (Q7) Wash the wound for 15 minutes with soap and water, very simple. That is so important because you’ll be washing away the virus from the wound, which will clean the wound. That helps to wash away the virus. If you’re in an endemic area, then you should also seek medical advice so that they can assess whether you need vaccines and the sooner you can do this, the better.endemic adj. 地方性的，流行的Vismita Gupta-Smith: Very good. So if you’re a pet owner or even if you are around street dogs, things to remember is vaccinate the dogs and the animals if you can. And then prevent bites as much as you can.Bernadette Abela: Yes. 60,000 people still die of rabies. (Q8) 40% of those are mostly children. So it’s still very present. We should also remember that we have very powerful tools. (Q9) We’ve got vaccines that are so powerful, it can protect us and our animals from rabies. But most of all, we can also prevent the bites because that is the source of rabies. So if we learn how to behave with animals, we can already prevent bites which will never go away. But we can also prevent rabies.Vismita Gupta-Smith: Thank you very much, Bernadette. That was Science in 5 today. Until next time then, stay safe, stay healthy and stick with science.Part III. KEYQ1.

To explain the benefits and drawbacks of napping. Part II. TRANSCRIPTNaps might not be as good for you as you think Surely, they're called power naps for a reason? Aren't naps the key to feeling alert, improving your memory and just generally having a great life? Well, they can be, but things aren't quite that simple.(Q1) It is true that a short nap can help people be more alert, improve their memory and concentration, and reduce risks around tasks with heavy machinery. Our circadian rhythms are responsible for the notorious lull that many of us feel in the early afternoon. This is the best time for a nap. Some companies have installed sleep pods for their employees, hoping to benefit from increased productivity and cognitive performance. But it is also true that naps can cause problems.circadian adj. 生理节奏的，昼夜节律的 notorious adj. 声名狼藉的，众所周知的（常指不好的事情） lull n. 间歇，平静期 pod n. 小舱，隔间 cognitive adj. 认知的 Let's start by thinking about the length. (Q2) A true power nap should be less than half an hour. Any longer, and it becomes hard to rouse yourself from. Any benefits in terms of alertness are likely to disappear with the grogginess that results from a longer period of slumber.grogginess n. 昏昏沉沉，虚弱无力slumber n. 睡眠，微睡 This isn't the only issue. Naps have been linked to conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and cardiac problems. However, it's not clear whether these are direct results, or stem from the impact of napping on our sleep habits. (Q3) If you take a nap after about two or three in the afternoon, it's likely to have a negative effect on your ability to get to sleep at night. Breaking your sleep cycle can lead to bad sleeping habits, which themselves become ingrained.cardiac adj. 心脏的 ingrain v. 使根深蒂固 Of course, in the same way that naps can lead to bad sleep, it's also true that bad sleep can lead to wanting to take more naps. (Q4) So, if you find yourself frequently needing to sleep during the day, experts suggest that you consider why that's the case. Are there any potential health issues that could be causing insomnia? Or are work pressure stopping you from getting enough sleep?insomnia n. 失眠 Part III. KEYQ1.【答案】B【解析】细节题。题目出处：It is true that a short nap can help people be more alert, improve their memory and concentration, and reduce risks around tasks with heavy machinery. 意为：“的确，小睡片刻能帮助人们更加清醒，提升记忆力和专注力，还能降低操作重型机械等作业时的风险。” 因此正确答案为B。 Q2.【答案】A【解析】细节题。题目出处：A true power nap should be less than half an hour. 意为：“真正的有效小憩时间应控制在半小时以内。。” 文章明确指出，有效小睡的时间应该少于半小时，超过这个时间可能会导致昏昏沉沉，并抵消小睡的益处，因此正确答案为A。 Q3.【答案】C【解析】细节题。题目出处：If you take a nap after about two or three in the afternoon, it's likely to have a negative effect on your ability to get to sleep at night.

Are there any potential health issues that could be causing insomnia? Or are work pressures stopping you from getting enough sleep? 意为：“因此，如果你发现自己经常需要在白天睡觉，专家建议你思考原因。是否存在可能导致失眠的潜在健康问题？或者工作压力是否阻碍你获得足够的睡眠？从中可以推断，频繁白天小睡可能表明存在潜在健康问题或压力，因此正确答案为B。 Q5.【答案】D【解析】主旨题。文章主要讨论了小睡的好处和可能引发的问题，包括提高注意力和记忆力的益处，以及可能导致睡眠周期紊乱和健康问题。因此正确答案为D。 （本文图片来源于摄图网，版权归摄图网所有)

第12届教学大赛商务英语组特等奖潘紫萌说课

说课点评：在30分钟的准备时间里，读完、理解一篇800多词的商务英语文章，记住文章的结构和要点，设计出一套有理论指导、教学理念清晰、目标合理、结构完整、方法得当，最好再带点创新的教学方案，然后在10分钟的时间里，用英语条理清晰地把它展示出来，这对任何商务英语教师来讲都是一项重大的挑战。潘紫萌老师首先分析了课文，根据内容将其解构成三大部分。选手将第二部分（第3-8段）归纳成 promotion, price and place 和将第三部分（第9段）归纳成对计划进入中国市场的外国企业的忠告，这都是正确的。但是，她把第一部分（第1-2段）归纳成product，进而把前两部分归纳成营销学中著名的4P战略，这种做法有待商榷。因为课文的第1段主要讲两个问题：1）营销战略如何在中国成功，2）这些战略如何根据中国人的喜好以及对产品或服务的认知进行调整，而不是具体的产品。也许是准备的时间非常紧迫，选手对课文的理解和归纳出现了偏差。然后，潘老师分析了学生的特点。在教学模式上，她采取以学生为中心、以产出为导向的教学模式。其教学目标包括商务英语知识、商务技能和伦理价值。在具体的教学方法上，她例举了基于任务的教学、基于讨论的教学、案例教学、学生参与的测评等，并强调要综合利用线上线下教学资源。在学习测评上，她采用师生共同参与的方式，以增强教学效果。至于具体的教学步骤，她采用BOPPPS模式，再加课后作业。以上教学方案应该说中规中矩，显示出潘老师对商务英语教学的理论、模式、方法和测评等各要素有比较全面的了解。潘老师最亮眼的表现是在10分钟的时间里，用流利的英语将其教学方案展现出来，而且条理清晰，相关的教学理论、教学方法、商务知识、商务案例均了然于胸，信手拈来，同时口到手到，同步将所讲内容写到白板上，手起笔落，一气呵成。在提问阶段，潘老师的表现依旧出色，理解到位，回答中肯，表现出较高的英语基本功和商务、人文素养。不过有的回答可以再精炼一些。比如在回答第一个问题时，把EGP，EOP，EAP，ESP 的定义都讲了一遍，有点啰嗦。总而言之，潘紫萌在说课中表现突出，是一位素质比较全面、经验比较丰富的优秀商务英语教师。点评专家：陈准民

第12届教学大赛英语专业组二等奖赵雪宇授课

授课点评：赵雪宇老师展示了“3A设计”，整合了准备、习得与应用这三个不同的教学阶段。对教学阶段和教学过程的表述比较清晰，教学过程在“3A设计”的基础上展开，强调学生参与的多元形式，例如学生提问、学生评价、学生总结等。设计框架层次清晰。教学展示与教学设计紧密地融合在了一起。展示伊始，教师提醒学生回忆“3A设计”，并且多次使用“I want you to be/do…”的句式，运用丰富的肢体语言、重读、停顿等方式明确提出了自己的期待，帮助学生更加直观地获得课堂学习的方向感。此外，教师对学生的分享做出了真诚的回应，而不只是用简短的评价话语敷衍了事，这对学习共同体的建构大有助益。这同时体现出教师对英语有着较好的掌握程度，能够从容、准确地重述学生观点，帮助学生修正语言表述上的错误，并提供更加规范、高效的表达方式。整体而言，赵老师在教学展示过程中教态得体，状态自然、松弛，说课清晰，且能够脱离讲稿等材料的辅助完成授课。课堂教学紧密围绕教学目标，环环相扣，逐步深入。她有效运用了多媒体课件，运用多样的视图突出核心教学内容，起到了辅助作用。可以看出赵老师的整体状态（尤其体现为笑容、身势，对重读、停顿的运用，以及真诚的回应）有效吸引了学生的注意力，激发了学生的学习兴趣，为学生创设了安全的发言空间，让学生有分享欲，愿意主动参与课堂互动。最后，建议赵老师未来可以在分析课文内容的同时，进一步在词汇层面对近义词加以辨析。点评专家：杨延宁
