【导读】我们真的需要每天努力走上一万步或者喝足两升水吗?本文介绍了一些广为接受的关于饮食和健康的观念以及目前科学的研究发现,了解了这些,您就可以开始做出明智的健康决策了。Should we really be aiming to walk 10,000 steps a day, or drink two litres of water?我们真的应该每天努力走一万步或者喝两升水吗?By Joel Snape刘立军 选编Here are some widely held dietary and health-based beliefs and what science says now - so you can start making informed health decisions this year.1. ‘Lifting weights will give you big muscles’This obviously isn’t true. To understand the scietnce, though, you have to realise that there are two main ways to get strong: increasing the size of individual muscle fibres or coaxing more of them into firing at the same time.Bodybuilders aim to do the first, by doing many repetitions in each set of exercises, lifting until their muscles fail. Athletes, who generally have smaller shoulders than bodybuilders, aim to do the second, by lifting heavier weights for fewer reps, and avoiding muscular failure.2. ‘Breakfast is the most important meal of the day’This is a tricky one. Although there is nothing about the first meal of the day that makes it especially magical, the timing of meals is increasingly recognised as an important factor in weight loss. One study found that those who ate a large breakfast saw greater weight loss than another group who had a low-calorie breakfast and larger dinner.“This might be because skipping breakfast leads to increased hunger levels later in the day, resulting in people overeating,” says Brady Holmer, a researcher in nutrition.3. ‘You should walk 10,000 steps a day’This number wasn’t based on any science when it was first used in the 1960s, but it might be good advice. A study released in 2022 found that walking may reduce the risk of premature death from cardiovascular disease and cancer. Another study found similar results for dementia, with as little as 3,800 steps a day proving effective. But it’s also worth stepping up the pace, as the dementia study saw a power-walker’s pace showing benefits above and beyond the number of steps walked.4. ‘You need eight hours of sleep’It’s easy to think of sleep as an individual thing: some people need eight hours, while others can get by on seven. But in one of the largest ever sleep studies, launched in 2017, participants who reported sleeping seven to eight hours performed better cognitively than those who slept more or less than that, regardless of age. Those who slept four hours or less performed as if they were almost nine years older.5. ‘You should aim to eat five portions of fruit and veg a day’“Many studies have found that roughly this number is associated with improved health, but there is also evidence that up to 10 servings per day of these foods can be beneficial,” says Holmer. In general, those who consume more fruits and vegetables have lower risks for cognitive decline and dementia, and diabetes, and may even experience decreased levels of stress.6. ‘You need to drink two litres of water a day’Staying hydrated is important, but the recommendation to drink two litres of water a day, while reasonable advice, is not based on hard science. In 1974, a book by leading US nutritionist Dr. Frederick J. Stare stated: “How much water each day? For the average adult, somewhere around six to eight glasses, and this can be in the form of coffee, tea, milk, soft drinks, beer, etc. Fruits and vegetables are also good sources of water.” The bit about getting your hydration from lattes, celery or Fanta often gets lost – which is a shame because it’s still valid.7. ‘A daily glass of wine is better than abstinence’This one is a classic of the “correlation is not causation” genre. The old recommendation to have a glass each night is based on observational evidence that people who classify themselves as “moderate drinkers” (roughly 1-2 units a day) seem to have a lower risk for some diseases. However, recent research suggests that regular, small-scale drinking is far from ideal: one study found that even one or two drinks a day might decrease the chance of healthy ageing and reduce the size of your brain.That said, there are well-known health benefits that come from a lively social life – so if you are drinking the occasional wine with friends, it might be doing you more good than harm.8. ‘Abdominal exercises will give you a six-pack’“It makes a sort of sense that if you want to build your abs, you would do typical abdominal exercises like sit-ups,” says Emma Storey-Gordon, a personal trainer and sports scientist. “But the truth is that whether you have visible abs or not has far more to do with your body fat levels and where you are predisposed to store fat than the number of sit-ups you do.” Many resources will tell you that you need to be around the 10-15 per cent body fat range to start seeing the outline of your abs if you’re male, or 15-20 per cent if you’re female. In reality, it’s a bit more complicated. “A lot of women need to go below a healthy body fat range for abs; those with longer torsos, who don’t store fat around their midsection, may not.”9. ‘Dieting will slow your metabolism’It’s a common belief that eating a very low-calorie diet, or even fasting, will trigger “starvation mode”, where the body slows metabolism as a way to keep you from losing any more weight. “While there’s no such thing as ‘starvation mode’, there may be small changes to someone’s metabolic rate when they lose weight or go on a diet,” says Holmer. “It’s called adaptive thermogenesis - a process during which the body reduces its production of heat in order to conserve energy.” This might explain why some people have a hard time keeping weight off, or even regain weight after dieting. To lessen the chances of your metabolism slowing down due to dieting or weight loss, you should avoid rapid weight loss: gradual is better.10. ‘Red meat is bad for you’Red meat was often advised against because it contains a lot of saturated fat - but it’s not as simple as that. Several studies have shown an association between a higher intake of red meat and an increased risk of prostate cancer and heart disease, but it is now widely believed that the associations between red meat and disease risk might be proved wrong, because many studies don’t distinguish between processed (bacon, sausages, burgers, etc.) and unprocessed red meat intake.“Several recent studies have found that eating unprocessed red meat may not actually increase the risk for heart disease or cancer,” says Holmer. “And major health organisations have recommended that people can continue to eat unprocessed red meat.”Adapted from https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/jan/04/truth-behind-10-of-the-biggest-health-beliefs【词汇】1. coax vt. to persuade sb to do sth by talking to them in a kind and gentle way 哄劝;劝诱 例如:It took almost an hour to coax the cat down from the tree. 花了近一个小时才把那只猫从树上哄下来。2. premature adj. happening before the normal or expected time 未成熟的;过早的;提前的 例如:his premature death at the age of 37他37岁时早逝3. cognitive adj. connected with mental processes of understanding 认知的;感知的;认识的 例如:a child's cognitive development儿童的认知开发4. correlation n. a connection between two things in which one thing changes as the other does 相互关系;关联 例如:the correlation of social power with wealth社会权力与财富的相关性5. genre n.

What is the difference between the way bodybuilders and athletes lift weights?A. Bodybuilders lift heavier weights for fewer reps.B. Athletes lift until their muscles fail.C. Bodybuilders aim to increase the size of individual muscle fibers.D. Athletes focus on increasing the number of muscle fibers that fire at the same time.【答案】D【解析】Athletes focus on increasing the number of muscle fibers that fire at the same time, while bodybuilders aim to increase the size of individual muscle fibers.2. What is the author’s view on the statement “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day”?A. The author believes it is true.B. The author believes it is false.C. The author is undecided.D. The author does not address it.【答案】B【解析】The passage explains that although breakfast is often touted as the most important meal of the day, the timing of meals is increasingly recognized as an important factor in weight loss. The study cited in the passage suggests that eating a larger breakfast can lead to greater weight loss, but this does not necessarily mean that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. The author’s view is that the statement is false.3. According to the passage, why is it recommended to walk 10,000 steps a day?A. It is based on scientific research.B. It reduces the risk of premature death.C. It prevents cardiovascular disease and cancer.D. It prevents dementia with a power-walker’s pace.【答案】B【解析】While the number of 10,000 steps per day was not based on scientific research, a study released in 2022 found that walking can reduce the risk of premature death from cardiovascular disease and cancer. Therefore, it is recommended to walk 10,000 steps a day to reduce this risk.4. What is the main finding of the sleep study according to the passage?A. Sleeping for eight hours is essential for good health.B. Different people require different amounts of sleep.C. Sleeping for seven to eight hours a day is the best for cognitive performance.D. Sleeping less than four hours a day is equivalent to aging by nine years.【答案】C【解析】The passage states that in one of the largest ever sleep studies, participants who reported sleeping seven to eight hours performed better cognitively than those who slept more or less than that, regardless of age. Therefore, option C. is the correct answer. Option A. and B. are not supported by the passage, while option D. is true, but not the main finding of the study mentioned in the passage.5. According to the text, how many portions of fruit and vegetable should one aim to eat per day?A. Five.B. Ten.C. Twenty.D. It varies from person to person.【答案】A【解析】The text states that “You should aim to eat five portions of fruit and veg a day” and goes on to say that “Many studies have found that roughly this number is associated with improved health.” While there is evidence that up to 10 servings per day can be beneficial, the text does not suggest that one should aim for this higher number. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Five.6. According to the article, the recommendation to drink two litres of water a day ___________.A. is based on hard scienceB. is unreasonable adviceC. was first made in 1974 by Dr. Frederick J. StareD. is the only way to stay hydrated【答案】C【解析】The article states that the recommendation to drink two litres of water a day is not based on hard science, and that Dr. Frederick J. Stare first made the recommendation of “somewhere around six to eight glasses” in 1974. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.7. What is the author’s attitude towards the idea that a daily glass of wine is better than abstinence?A. The author believes that a daily glass of wine is better for health than abstinence.B. The author believes that there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that a daily glass of wine is better than abstinence.C. The author believes that a daily glass of wine is acceptable as long as it is consumed in moderation.D. The author believes that the health benefits of a daily glass of wine are outweighed by the risks.【答案】B【解析】The passage states that the idea that a daily glass of wine is better than abstinence is a “classic of the ‘correlation is not causation’ genre” and that recent research suggests that even one or two drinks a day might decrease the chance of healthy aging and reduce brain size. Therefore, the author’s attitude towards this idea is that there is no scientific evidence to support it.8. What does Emma Storey-Gordon say about building visible abs?A. It is only possible through typical abdominal exercises.B. It depends on the number of sit-ups you do.C. It is more related to body fat levels and predisposition to store fat.D. It is easier for women with longer torsos.【答案】C【解析】Emma Storey-Gordon, a personal trainer and sports scientist, says that whether you have visible abs or not has far more to do with your body fat levels and where you are predisposed to store fat than the number of sit-ups you do. Therefore, the correct answer is C.9. What is “adaptive thermogenesis” according to the passage?A. A process where the body increases heat production to burn more calories.B. A process where the body slows down metabolism to conserve energy.C. A process where the body burns fat instead of glucose for energy.D. A process where the body increases appetite to compensate for weight loss.【答案】B【解析】The passage explains that “adaptive thermogenesis” is a process where the body reduces its production of heat in order to conserve energy, resulting in small changes to someone’s metabolic rate when they lose weight or go on a diet.10. What is the common belief about red meat?A. It contains too much protein.B. It is hard to digest.C. It is high in calories.D. It is unhealthy due to high saturated fat.【答案】D【解析】The passage mentions that red meat was often advised against because it contains a lot of saturated fat. The belief is that it increases the risk of prostate cancer and heart disease. However, recent studies have shown that eating unprocessed red meat may not actually increase the risk for these diseases.(封面图片来源于摄图网,版权归摄图网所有)

阅读素材 | 如何撰写学术论文(上)

【导读】如何撰写研究论文,一直困扰着很多写作者。本文中,受访者分享了他们撰写研究手稿的方法以及克服常见障碍的策略。How to write a research paperBY ELISABETH PAIN刘立军选编Condensing months or years of research into a few pages can be a mighty exercise even for experienced writers. Authors need to find the sweet spot between convincingly addressing their scientific questions and presenting their results in such detail the key message is lost. They must describe their methods succinctly and clearly so their experiments can be reproduced, and discuss the broader implications of their research without overselling their work.The feeling of being exposed that comes with publishing can also get in the way of writing, says Daniela Anahí Parker Yáñez, a fourth-year materials science Ph.D. student at Linköping University in Sweden. “It is definitely frightening to state something incorrect.” Especially if you are a newcomer, “one always feels like there is something one doesn’t know, or that your words are not the best.” For non-native English speakers like Parker, there is also an additional language barrier that requires being “proactive and willing to become better,” she adds. “But at the same time, keep in mind that publishing results is very helpful for others.”Science Careers asked early-career scientists in a range of disciplines to share their approaches for writing a researchmanuscriptand strategies for overcoming commonstumblingblocks. The answers have been edited for clarity and brevity.【练习与解析】1. What is not mentioned as a challenge in condensing research into a few pages?A. Finding the right balance between addressing scientific questions and presenting results.B. Describing methods clearly and succinctly for reproducibility.C. Not overselling the implications of the research.D. Being a non-native English speaker.【答案】D【解析】The article did mention that being a non-native English speaker can pose an additional challenge, but it is not specifically mentioned as a challenge in condensing research into a few pages. The other options are all mentioned as common challenges.How do you know when it’s time to start working on a paper? What is your overall writing process?Ideally, by the time I start writing a paper I have a strong foundation for why I decided to research this topic, therobustresults from different experiments that support my idea, and a good overview of how my research advances scientific knowledge. To be more certain that I have a consistent story to tell, I also like to put my findings to the test by trying to invalidate them experimentally or see if there is anything important missing. Then, writing the paper and getting it ready for submission may take me 3 to 6 months. I like separating the writing into three phases. The results and the methods go first, as this is the phase where I write what was done and how, and what the outcomes were. In a second phase, I tackle the introduction and refine the results section with input from my supervisor and collaborators on how we want to develop the story, which references should be included, and what the takeaway message is. In the last phase I write the abstractand work on providing a coherent ending in the conclusion.- Parker【练习与解析】2. What is the first thing the author likes to separate when writing a paper?A. Introduction and background information.B. Results and methods.C. Abstract and conclusion.D. Feedback from supervisor and collaborators.【答案】B【解析】According to the text, the author likes to separate the writing into three phases. The first phase is dedicated to writing down the results and the methods used to achieve them. This is where the author explains what was done and what the outcomes were.I first collate all the figures and data - both positive and negative - that I think are likely to be relevant to the story. I’m more a visual person, so the next step is to generate a coherent storyboard of my figures to get a big-picture view of the project. This process helps me formulate an outline of the manuscript that I can use as a guide during the writing. Once I start writing the draft - and consequently also spend time looking more closely at the data - I constantly go back and forth to the literature to make sure I’m not missing anything about my topic and that I’m citing the right studies. Sometimes during this process, the story narrative can change a little, and that’s OK! I just go with the flow and see where the data takes me.- Jessica S. Ho, postdoctoral researcher in microbiology at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai【练习与解析】3. What does the author do after collating relevant figures and data for a research project?A. Generate a coherent storyboard to get a big-picture view.B. Write the entire draft in one sitting.C. Focus on positive data only and discard negative data.D. Ignore the literature to avoid getting sidetracked.【答案】A【解析】According to the text, after collecting all relevant figures and data, the author generates a coherent storyboard to get a big-picture view of the project. This helps the author formulate an outline of the manuscript that they can use as a guide during the writing process.I feel ready to turn my research into a paper when I have a set of results forming a clear storyline. I start the writing process with an outline that serves more as a wish list for how I want the flow of the paper to go, bearing in mind the overall goal, specific aims, and main takeaways of the manuscript. I usually put all the results I have into the outline in one long, running results section with a summary of what they add to the storyline. Then the methods section is typically the first I write, as I find it relatively straightforward. During my research, I try to keep my code for data analysis organized and documented in such a way that writing the methods and results is effectively translating my scripts from nil into a storyline. I often write the results section at the same time as the methods to try and mirror the flow. In the results, I also include some text describing the figures I want to generate or preliminary, hand-drawn figures. Before writing the introduction and discussion, I take a day or two to really dive into the literature and refresh my vision of where my work fits in the current state of the science. The final aesthetically pleasing and well-formatted figures and tables are usually one of the last things I develop. I always save the abstract for the end. Assuming all analysis is complete before I start writing, preparing a paper usually takes me 2 to 3 months from blank page to submission.- Marissa Kosnik, group leader in environmental toxicology at the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology【练习与解析】4. What is the first section the author typically writes when starting the writing process?A. Introduction.B. Literature.C. Methods.D. Results.【答案】C【解析】According to the text, the methods section is typically the first section the author writes when starting the writing process, as she finds it relatively straightforward. During her research, she tries to keep her code for data analysis organized and documented in such a way that writing the methods and results is effectively translating their scripts from nil into a storyline. She also often writes the results section at the same time as the methods to try and mirror the flow.I start to think about the publication when I am still carrying out the research because, depending on the audience we plan to reach, the datasets that we use to develop our model and the experimental evaluation that we present can vastly differ. The target journal is chosen long before the writing process begins, and putting the paper together usually takes me 3 to 6 weeks. But sometimes, we realize during the writing that we need to do a few further experiments to make a strong point, which can prolong the process.- Niklas Gebauer, Ph.D. student in machine learning at the Berlin Institute of Technology【练习与解析】5. What can prolong the process of putting a paper together?A. Choosing the target journal before starting the writing process.B. Considering the audience during the research.C. Developing a model with specific datasets.D. Realizing further experiments are needed during the writing.【答案】D【解析】According to the text, the author notes that sometimes during the writing process, he realizes that he needs to do a few further experiments to make a strong point, which can prolong the process.In my theoretical field, I begin by deciding how to split the content into sections. I usually think about accompanying tables and figures to illustrate my theoretical results and prepare them before even starting the draft. I very often go back to the literature and evaluate how my work fits into the broader research context to develop the scientific story. Then I work on the more technical core of the paper and only later write the introduction, broader perspectives, and conclusions. For me, the hardest section is the introduction, where the main theoretical questions need to be made clear while avoiding jargon and technicalities as much as possible. I usually list the relevant references for the scientific context and the key results of the work, and then build around this. The abstract is the very last thing I do.- Valentina Ros, researcher in statistical physics at Paris-Saclay University in France【练习与解析】6. What is the hardest section for the author when writing a paper in her theoretical field?A. Tables and figures.B. Technical core.C. Introduction.D. Broader perspectives and conclusions.【答案】C【解析】According to the text, the author finds the introduction the hardest section when writing a paper in her theoretical field. The reason for this is that the introduction has to make the main theoretical questions clear while avoiding jargon and technicalities as much as possible.Any further specifics about what should go into each part of the manuscript, or how it should be presented?In the results section, in addition to describing the data I give a brief explanation of the rationale, hypothesis, and set up for each experiment to help the reader follow the logic of my work. The target journal does sometimes influence the writing and preparation of the manuscript, mostly in terms of the figures or dataset requirements, word counts, and reference formats.- Ho【练习与解析】7. What information does the author provide in the results section?A. A summary of the literature review.B. An explanation of the future implications of the work.C. The rationale, hypothesis, and setup for each experiment.D. A discussion of the limitations of the study.【答案】C【解析】According to the text, in the results section, in addition to describing the data, the author provides a brief explanation of the rationale, hypothesis, and set up for each experiment to help the reader follow the logic of their work.In the discussion, I try to explain how the data supports my assertions and how strongly. I feel it is the most difficult section since there is always a risk of under-explaining your data. Giving some thought to how to give a twist to the title or make it unique is important so the paper can be more easily found and remembered in the tide of research manuscripts. For the acknowledgments, I usually keep a spreadsheet with all the individuals and organizations that have supported the research. Finally, I consult with my supervisors or institute's legal office to fill in the declarations about funding, potential conflicts of interest, and compliance with ethical standards and reporting guidelines. The choice of journal may affect the length of the manuscript and order of the sections.- Roshan Paladugu, postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary AnthropologyAdapted fromhttps://www.science.org/content/article/how-write-research-paper【词汇】1.manuscriptn. a copy of a book, piece of music, etc. before it has been printed手稿;原稿。例如:an unpublished / original manuscript未经发表的/原始的手稿2.stumbling blockssomething that causes problems and prevents you from achieving your aim绊脚石3.robustadj. strong and full of determination; showing that you are sure about what you are doing or saying坚定的;信心十足的(封面图片来源于摄图网,版权归摄图网所有)

练习 | 减肥药物在麻醉状态下可能有并发症风险

减肥药物在麻醉状态下可能有并发症风险Weight Loss Drugs May Risk Complications under Anesthesia刘立军供稿TRANSCRIPTDoctors who practiceanesthesiologyin the United States and Canada are expressing concern about patients who take popular weight loss drugs leading up to surgery. Anesthesiologists work together with surgeons to make sure their patients are asleep, orsedated, before medical procedures. More and more people are taking the weight loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy. Anesthesiologists say they are having trouble deciding when surgeries should take place. That is because the weight loss drugs cause people to hold food in their stomachs longer than usual. People who still have food in their stomachs when they are put to sleep before surgery risk a complication known as apulmonaryaspiration. That is the term for when someone breathes some of their stomach contents into their lungs. In extreme cases, the food particles can cause infection or even death.Most patients are told to not eat for about eight hours before surgery. However, the doctors say those guidelines may need to be changed for patients who are using the weight loss drugs. Ion Hobai is an anesthesiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. He said everyone who takes the drugs should know about "such a serious sort of potential complication." Komodo Health is a technology company that works in healthcare. According to its research, nearly 6 million prescriptions for the weight loss drugs were written in the first five months of 2023. In June, the American Society of Anesthesiologists said patients should not take daily weight loss medications on the day of surgery. It also advised that patients should not get their weekly weight loss injection for a week before anysedationprocedures. Dr. Michael Champeau is the head of the organization. He said the recommendation is based on experiences from anesthesiologists around the United States.A group of anesthesiologists, including Hobai, said they would recommend even more time off from the drugs before surgery. In the Canadian Journal ofAnesthesia, they suggested about three weeks. Dr. Philip Jones is an anesthesiologist at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. After three weeks, he said, the drug should no longer be affecting the stomach. At that point, he said, "everything should go back to normal." Hobai said he is finishing a study of 200 patients who were using drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy before surgery. He said his results are similar to a smaller study in Brazil that found 25 percent of patients still had food in their stomachs 10 days after stopping the drug. Because of this information, the American Society of Anesthesiologists said doctors who are unsure of their patients' stomach contents should work differently. They say doctors should work as they would if they knew the patient's stomach was full. Aspiration only happens one time out of every 2,000 to 3,000 operations that require sedation. But when it does happen, the patients develop a lung injury half the time. That is why the doctors are concerned. One of Hobai's patients who had been taking Wegovy developed a problem that required serious care. He had not eaten for 18 hours before surgery. In another case, a woman taking a small amount of Ozempic did not eat for 10 hours before surgery. She was in the middle of a procedure that had to be stopped because doctors saw food in her stomach.Dr. Elisa Lund is an anesthesiologist at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. She said many doctors have similar stories, as the weight loss drugs have become more common. "It hasexponentiallyincreased," she said. Novo Nordisk is the drug company that makes Wegovy and Ozempic. The company said there was nothing in its testing that showed the drug would lead to aspiration. However, the drug-maker did say the medications can cause the stomach to empty more slowly. Hobai said he is also concerned about patients going off their medications for too long. For example, the drugs are used to control the blood sugar level of patients with diabetes. If they stop taking them before surgery, they may face a different kind of health problem.

VOA慢速:提高教师的数学技能将有助于学生Educators: Improving Teachers’ Math Skills Will Aid Students刘立军 供稿TRANSCRIPTMany elementary school teachers say they dislike the idea of teaching mathematics even at the most basic level. That is a cause for concern among educators.Experts say it is critical for students to have a solid foundation in the subject because math skills build on each other. Research published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that math is a common cause of anxiety for adults, especially for women. About 90 percent of elementary teachers in the U.S. are women. The NIH study suggested that, in the field of education, anxiety can have a harmful effect on learners.International studies have found that U.S. students are behind many other democracies in math skills. In 2017, the OECD, an international economic research group, ranked the U.S. 30th among member countries.Since the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, the math test scores in the U.S. suffered even more. Educators now say an important step to improving math skills after the pandemic is to increase the confidence of elementary school teachers.The Erikson Institute in Chicago is a graduate school centered on child development. The school holds a yearly math conference where elementary teachers can ease their anxiety about math. Teachers find out how young children learn math and plan activities for the classroom.Jennifer McCray is a research professor at Erikson. She said the best way to see how a child will perform in math up through eighth grade is to learn how the child did in math when they started kindergarten.Teachers are worried that they will transfer their math fears to their students. Math specialists say this is a persistent issue in elementary school classrooms. Elementary school teachers are expected to teach every subject, often leading them to spend less classroom time on math.During the Erikson Institute’s summer meeting, teachers work with math concepts that they can use in the classroom. For example, the group built 10-sided shapes out of colored blocks. These exercises helped the teachers with their own math skills.Lauran Solarski is a trainer with the Early Math Collaborative at Erikson. She told a group of educators, “There’s a misbelief that in order to teach early childhood math, you don’t really need to know math well.”Lisa Ginet is the director of operations at Erikson. She said that early childhood teachers do not necessarily need to be experts in complex math subjects like algebra and geometry. But they need to understand that many of the skills they are teaching are connected to mathematical thinking and to subjects that students will learn later in school.Stacey Stevens works for the Kentucky Department of Education as the director of early childhood education training center. She said she changed her study major in college to early childhood education to avoid high level math. After she completed a yearlong class in math to improve her teaching, she finally started to understand how to teach the subject.Stevens said she was passionate about teaching preschool because she did not want children to have the same struggles in math that she had growing up. “I wanted them to understand that four triangles make a square: to actually see it and do it and not just be told that a triangle is a fourth of a square.”Heather Peske is the president of the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ), a research group based in Washington, D.C. She said colleges need to better prepare teachers to teach math before they get into the classroom.The NCTQ studied teacher preparation programs in 2022. It found that most do not spend as much time on elementary math content as NCTQ thinks is necessary. The recommendations were based on studies that linked student achievement to teacher’s math studies in college.Peske said, “If we prepared them better, they would be stronger at both their math knowledge as well as their ability to teach math, and this would reduce their anxiety and improve student outcomes.”I’m Faith Pirlo. And I’m Mario Ritter Jr.VOCABULARY1. preschool n. an educational stage or institution for young children before they enter formal schooling, typically between the ages of three and five 学前教育2. program n. a structured and organized set of activities or curriculum designed to achieve specific goals or objectives, often used in the context of education or training 方案;计划QUESTIONSListen to the news and choose the best answer to each question you hear.1.

练习 | 工作中的朋友

工作中的朋友刘立军 供稿TRANSCRIPTBartleby: Friends at WorkWhy it is a bad idea for managers to attempt to engineer office friendshipsScholars of happiness have found that close relationships are one of the critical ingredients of a contented life. What is true in general is also true of the workplace, according to research by Gallup. The pollster finds that having a “best friend at work” is closely associated with all manner of good things, from greater employee engagement to higher retention and better safety records.At some level, that is unremarkable. Spending time with people you like makes most things more appealing, including work. If a job is sufficiently humdrum, camaraderie among colleagues can be the main draw. The support of friends can also encourage people to try new things. A study from 2015 by Erica Field of Duke University, and her co-authors, looked at the impact of business training given to Indian women. Women who attended the course with a friend were more likely to end up taking out loans than those who came alone.The reverse also applies. Antagonistic relationships with co-workers are always likely to make working life miserable. A study conducted by Valerie Good of Grand Valley State University found that loneliness has an adverse effect on the performance of salespeople. Among other things, they start spending more on wining and dining their customers. The only thing worse than a salesperson who sees you as a way to make money is one who wants your company.So friends matter. The problems come when managers see the words “higher employee engagement” and leap to the conclusion they should try to engineer work friendships. In a report published last year Gallup gave the example of an unnamed organisation which has a weekly companywide meeting that spotlights one employee’s best friend at work. It’s not known if, in the Q&A, others pop up to sob: “But I thought we were best friends at work.”Startups also offer services to encourage work friendships. One monitors the depth of connections between people in different teams. It identifies shared interests (gluten-free baking, say, or workplace surveillance) between employees who don’t know each other and arranges meetings between them. You thought life was bad? At least you are not making crumpets with a stranger in finance.It is a mistake for managers to wade into the business of friend-making, and not just because it royally misses the point. The defining characteristic of friendship is that it is voluntary. Employees are adults; they don’t need their managers to arrange play-dates. And the workplace throws people together, often under testing conditions: friendships will naturally follow.The bigger problem is that workplace friendships are more double-edged than their advocates allow. They can quickly become messy when power dynamics change. The transition from friend to boss, or from friend to underling, is an inherently awkward one (“This is your final warning. Fancy a pint?”).And friendships have the potential to look a lot like cronyism. A clever study by Zoe Cullen of Harvard Business School and Ricardo Perez-Truglia of University of California, Berkeley, found that employees’ social interactions with their managers could give their career prospects a boost relative to others.The researchers looked at promotions of smokers and non-smokers who worked for a large bank in South-East Asia, hypothesising that sharing smoking breaks with managers who also indulged might give workers a leg up. And so it did. Smokers who moved from a non-smoking boss to a puffer were promoted more quickly than those who moved to another non-smoker. The authors found that social interactions did not just help smokers; socialising between male managers and male employees played a large role in perpetuating gender pay gaps. If firms are going to make friendship their business, they should worry about its downsides, too.Companies should facilitate interactions between employees, particularly in a world of hybrid and remote working. Social gatherings and buddy systems are reasonable ways to encourage colleagues to meet each other and to foster a culture. But a high-quality work relationship does not require friendship. It requires respect for each other’s competence, a level of trust and a desire to reach the same goal; it doesn’t need birthday cards and a shared interest in quilt-making. Firms should do what they can to encourage these kinds of relationships. If individuals want to take it further, it’s entirely up to them.VOCABULARY1. antagonistic adj. 敌对的,对抗性的2. adverse adj. 不利的,有害的3. surveillance n. 监视,监控4. wade v. 涉水,涉足5. transition n. 过渡,转变6. indulge v. 纵容,沉溺7. puffer n. 吸烟者,抽烟器8. perpetuate v. 使持续,使长存9. hybrid adj. / n. 混合的,混血儿的;混合物,杂交品种10. foster v. / adj. 培养,促进;寄养的,养育的QUESTIONS1.
