Can AI compress the years long research time of a PhD into seconds? Research scientist Max Jaderberg explores how “AI analogs” simulate real-world lab work with staggering speed and scale, unlocking new insights on protein folding and drug discovery. Drawing on his experience working on Isomorphic Labs' and Google DeepMind's AlphaFold 3 — an AI model for predicting the structure of molecules — Jaderberg explains how this new technology frees up researchers' time and resources to better understand the real, messy world and tackle the next frontiers of science, medicine and more.

Anyone who knows me knows that I need my daily dose of caffeine (咖啡因) to kick start (啟動、開始) a happy, productive (有生產力的) work day. Without it, I will basically (基本上) be like a zombie. So when I found out that caffeine not only offers a quick boost (增強、提升) of energy but also health benefits (好處、益處), I’m like Hallelujah! More reasons for the indulgence (放縱、沉溺). In a new study presented (發表、呈現) at the annual (年度的) meeting of the American Society of Nutrition (營養學會), researchers (研究人員) followed more than 47000 female nurses starting in the 1970s, and they discovered (發現) that those who drank the most caffeine, about the equivalent (相當於) of nearly seven cups of coffee a day, had odds (機率、可能性) of healthy aging (健康老化) that were 13 percent higher than those who consumed (消耗、攝取) the least caffeine. The research also suggested (暗示、顯示) that people who drink coffee regularly (規律地) have lower risks (風險) of heart disease (心臟病), Type 2 diabetes (第二型糖尿病), Parkinson’s disease (帕金森氏症), and liver disease (肝病). However researchers aren’t entirely (完全地) sure why coffee may be beneficial (有益的). The biggest takeaway (重點、收穫) for me of course is that my daily source of happiness is now completely (完全地) validated (證實、確認). ☕️如果你喜歡李老師分享的英文故事，歡迎請老師來喝杯咖啡，藉著老師喝完咖啡的力量，成為你學習英文的超能力！ 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 🧑🏻🍳 Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
Adam Riess was just 27 when he began the research that would earn him the Nobel Prize in Physics, and only 41 when he received the honor. His groundbreaking (突破性的) work revealed that distant galaxies are receding (後退；遠離) faster than expected — a discovery that pointed to an accelerating (加速的) expansion of the universe. While Riess excelled (擅長) at making precise (精確的) astronomical observations, explaining this acceleration fell to theorists (理論學家), who proposed the existence of a mysterious (神祕的) force: dark energy (暗能量). According to these theorists, dark energy is pushing galaxies apart at an increasing rate. Telescopes today can detect hundreds of billions of galaxies, but trillions (兆，萬億) of years from now, dark energy may drive them so far away that they become invisible (無法看見的). Eventually, the universe could end in a state of heat death — cold, dark, and lifeless. This vision forms the foundation of the “ standard model of cosmology ” (宇宙學標準模型). However, in recent years, many cosmologists (宇宙學家) — including Riess himself — have begun to question this model. After winning the Nobel, Riess noticed a shift (轉變) in how others treated him. Some became reserved (拘謹的；內斂的); others argued over minor (微小的；不重要的) issues. But instead of stepping back into administrative (行政的) roles or a speaking tour, Riess stayed focused on research. Using data from the Hubble Telescope, he developed more accurate (準確的) methods for measuring cosmic distances. The more he refined (精煉；改進) his calculations, the more he noticed inconsistencies (不一致). New data suggested that dark energy may have been stronger in the early universe but has since weakened (減弱) — possibly losing much of its force several billion years ago. If this trend is confirmed (證實), it would upend (顛覆) the current understanding of cosmic expansion. Rather than expanding forever, the universe might eventually slow down and settle into a static (靜止的) state. In that case, intelligent life could persist (持續存在) far longer than previously believed. As a scientist committed to be deferential (尊重的；順從的) to the data, Riess is energized (被激勵的) by the possibility that the standard model could be wrong. Cosmology, once seemingly settled (塵埃落定的；穩定的), is now alive with debate (爭論) — and a new vision of the universe may be just over the horizon. ☕️如果你喜歡李老師分享的英文故事，歡迎請老師來喝杯咖啡，藉著老師的英文新聞，讓新觀點來照亮各個黑暗的角落！ 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 🧑🏻🍳 Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
美國作家 Johnnie Christmas 的視覺文學小說 《Swim Team》，便是一本鼓勵青少年跨出舒適圈，勇敢挑戰自我的精彩作品，特別適合國中階段的孩子閱讀。作者以輕鬆的敘事語調、細膩的角色描寫以及濃厚的情感刻畫，引導讀者隨著圖文走進主角 Bree 的世界，瞭解她如何擺脫困境與成長過程。 我衷心推薦這本《Swim Team》給國中高年級以上的學生，尤其是那些正處於自我探索與信心建立階段的孩子。這不僅是一個關於「學會游泳」的故事，更是關於「學會面對自己」與「學會理解世界」的成長旅程。成人如你我者不妨也陪著孩子們游入那座看似深不見底的泳池，與他們一起探索，共同理解真正的勇氣並非從不感到畏懼，而是即使害怕，還願意繼續嘗試著努力達成目標。 ✒️Quotes We affect other people in ways we can’t guess, like a puzzle waiting for its solution! Remember, everyone learns step-by-step. Learning a little more each time.

As a kid, my favorite holiday was Christmas. I’m sure it is still most kids’ favorite holiday today. You wake up on Christmas morning full of happiness and hope for what Santa might bring you this year. Imagine what you might feel like if you are literally （真正地，名副其實地） the resident （居民） of Ravaniemi, Finland, also known as Santa’s hometown. It might be a dream come true for kids, but not for every resident living there. During the tourist season, you can barely （幾乎不） move around in a supermarket because it is always packed （擠滿的） with tourists. In 2024, the city had 1.5 million overnight stay tourists, but it only has 60,000 permanent （永久的） residents. The Christmas season stretches （延伸） from October to the end of March. That is a long time to co-inhabit （共同居住） the town with tourists. How did this town on the edge of the Arctic Circle become known as Santa’s hometown? Well, at the end of World War II, before retreating （撤退） from Ravaniemi, the defeated German soldiers decided to burn the entire town down. After the war, Finland hired a renowned （著名的） Finnish architect to redesign the town, and he decided to design it in the shape of a reindeer head. But it took a while for Santa to make his entrance. It would require another marketing stroke of genius （絕妙點子） to make that happen. In 1984, a Soviet missile accidentally landed in a frozen lake a few hours’ drive outside the town. The town’s tourism department had an idea of sending a man dressed in Santa Claus suit there, along with hundreds of international journalists and officials searching for the missing missile pieces. Then in 1985, Santa Claus Village officially opened to the world. It had a very slow start, first only attracting Finns. But after tour operators installed all kinds of facilities that were not indigenous （本地的） or native to the place, like dog sledding, igloos, business took off. Now the village has seven hotels, more than 20 restaurants and too many souvenir （紀念品） shops to count. At least two Santas work in different locations. To be Santa, you have to be able to carry on small talk （寒暄） in 20 languages. To meet and talk to Santa is free, but a photo will cost you 40 euros. How do locals feel about the tourism boom （繁榮，激增）? It is pretty divisive （造成分歧的）. For one, the tension between short-term renters and permanent residents is increasing. One resident said tourists renting apartments had undermined （削弱） the feeling of community and eroded （侵蝕，逐漸破壞） a sense of safety. Ravaniemi is also a college town with two universities and more than 10,000 students. Students are finding it increasingly difficult to find affordable （負擔得起的） housing. But some residents welcome the influx （湧入） of tourists. One said during the peak （高峰的） season, he can get 500 euros a night for his one-bedroom unit, and if he is able to rent out his apartment three nights a month, he will be able to cover his mortgage （房貸） and other expenses （開支） that month. Officials from the tourism bureau say that tourism isn’t bad, but the growth has to be controlled （受到控制的）. So my question to you is: if this happens to your hometown, how will you feel about the boom? ☕️如果你喜歡李老師分享的英文故事，歡迎請老師來喝杯咖啡，藉著英文時事，體會不一樣的奇葩情節在世界各個角落 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 🧑🏻🍳 Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
When ChatGPT was first released in 2022, it caused a lot of panic （恐慌） among educators because it has made cheating even easier for students. Teachers fear （擔心） that students will use it to write their essays, solve math problems, or prepare for presentations. Work that used to take students hours to finish will now be done within a few seconds. To prevent large-scale cheating from happening, some schools ban （禁止） the use of ChatGPT, while some employ （採用） the AI detection services. But recently the tables have turned in the US. Some students are complaining （抱怨） on websites such as Rate My Professors about their teachers’ over dependence （過度依賴） on AI. In February, Ella Stapleton, a senior of Northeastern University, discovered （發現） that her business professor used ChatGPT to make his PowerPoint and slide presentations for classes. She was shocked （震驚） by the discovery. What fumed （激怒） her even more was that the syllabus forbade （禁止） “academically dishonest activities”, including the use of AI. She called out （公開批評） on the teacher’s hypocrisy （虛偽）, and given the high cost of the tuition, Ella filed a formal complaint （提出正式申訴） with the school and demanded reimbursement （要求退款） of tuition for that class, which could amount to more than $8000. More and more educators are incorporating （整合） AI into their class planning and grade assessment. When asked by The New York Times , professors said that AI chatbots helped them save time （節省時間） and deal with overwhelming （壓倒性的） amount of work. There is still no consensus （共識） among educators as to what kind of AI use is acceptable （可接受的）, so we will be likely to see more conflicts （衝突） between students and teachers over this in the near future. ☕️如果你喜歡李老師分享的英文書，歡迎請老師來喝杯咖啡，藉著英文時事，體會不一樣的奇葩情節在世界各個角落 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 🧑🏻🍳 Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

We all have only one life to live, so why not live it to its fullest? I encourage you all to try something new, whether it be grand or small. Try a new food, learn a new skill, do something that scares you. It’s okay to be embarrassed. Be patient with yourself. Go at your own pace, but most importantly, go find adventure. It may be good. It may be bad. But in the end, you’ll know yourself better, and at the very least you’ll have a story to tell.

The Brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm, experienced the same kind of sharp reversal (急遽的逆轉) of fortune that is often featured in their collected fairy tales. Shortly after the births of the brothers, 1785 and 1786, their father was promoted to serve as the magistrate (地方法官) , so the Grimms moved into a mansion with maids and a cook. They lived a fairy-tale like life. But one day, bad fortune struck. In 1796, their father, only 44 years old, suddenly died of pneumonia (肺炎) . Without their father’s income, the family were forced to move to an almshouse (救濟院) just next door — cursed with a view of their beautiful former house. The main reason for the brothers to collect all the fairy tales, legends, myths (神話) was to create a national identity (民族認同) for German speakers. This was before there was a Germany. They also began working on the most comprehensive (全面的、詳盡的) dictionary of the German language. Unfortunately neither lived to see the birth of their country. The brothers were extremely close, virtually (幾乎) inseparable (難分離的) . During their college years, Jacob briefly worked abroad for a professor, his brother wrote to him, “When you left, I thought my heart would tear in two. I couldn’t stand it.” Jacob vowed (發誓) that it would never happen again and drew out his plan for their future life together. “We will presumably (大概、可能) at last live quite withdrawn (隱居的、離群的) and isolated (孤立的) , for we will not have many friends, and I do not enjoy acquaintances (泛泛之交) .” When the younger brother Wilhelm married, Jacob lived with his brother and new sister-in-law. Had their father not passed away at such a young age, the brothers might not have had the drive (動力) . After the death of their dad, Jacob and Wilhelm no longer enjoyed the status (社會地位) that came with being the sons of an official. They had to pay their own way. Jacob wrote in his autobiography (自傳) , “ Sparseness (匱乏、貧困) spurs (激勵) a person to industriousness (勤奮) and work, keeps one from many a distraction (分心的事物) and infuses (注入) one with noble (高尚的) pride and keeps one conscious of self-achievement (自我成就) .” The Brothers Grimm were born and raised in the province of Hessen, 黑森州，法蘭克福市所在地, which had been settled in ancient times by the Chatti people, viewed as more barbarian (野蠻的) and tougher than other Germanic tribes during the Roman Empire. Due to its rugged terrain (崎嶇地形) , the area became famous for mercenaries (傭兵) . Twenty-five percent of British land forces in the American Revolutionary War were Hessian. This was mentioned in a Magic Treehouse book that we talked about before. Because of a popular illustration (插畫) that appeared in an eighteen-nineties German magazine, we believe that the brothers collected their fairy tales from older, peasant (鄉下的、農民的) women, but this is actually not the case. The women that told the brothers the tales were well-educated (受良好教育的) women from affluent (富裕的) families who got their stories from villages and servants that they hired. ☕️如果你喜歡李老師分享的英文故事，歡迎請老師來喝杯咖啡，讓學習的影響力，像童話故事一樣，源遠流長 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 🧑🏻🍳 Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
Tolkien對於fairy tales重要性的解釋，他的想法也深深影響了CS Lewis. Fairy tales lead us into a unique place where we can experience three particular （特殊的） gifts: escape, consolation （撫慰） and recovery （恢復）. Escape offers flight from the daily grief （悲傷） and suffering （苦痛） of our reality. And in allowing our deep longings （渴望） for hope and wonder to come true, it brings real peace to our hearts. And by shedding the familiar, we see the final gift, recovery, which allows us to see the world from a fresh, clear perspective （觀點）. ☕️如果你喜歡李老師分享的英文故事，歡迎請老師來喝杯咖啡，讓學習的力量，像奇幻故事的渲染力一樣，無遠佛屆 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 🧑🏻🍳 Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

當你打開門，看到成千上百的水豚跟你在同一個豪宅社區裡生活，你覺得如何呢？ During the pandemic, when residents retreated (撤退) indoors, the capybara began to colonize (佔領) the manicured (精心修剪的) neighborhood of a wealthy gated community (有門禁的社區) of 45,000 people, north of Buenos Aires. Since 2020, the number of capybaras has multiplied (激增) to nearly 1,000. Walking in the community, you can find capybara families grazing (啃食) near the tennis courts, napping (打盹) on the volleyball courts, traversing (穿越) the streets. Most residents admitted (承認) the animals are cute, but they also cause traffic accidents (交通意外), ravage (肆虐) gardens, and sometimes have attacked (攻擊) some of the smallest dogs in the community. As a result, some residents view capybaras as dangerous (危險的) and invasive (入侵性的) and even fear (害怕) for their young children. But some are avid advocates (擁護者) of this seemingly harmless animal. Advocates have protested (抗議) in the street and gathered signatures (簽名) to push for a capybara nature reserve (自然保護區). They argue that the capybara population is only increasing because developers (開發商) destroyed the animals’ wild habitat (棲息地), forcing them out of the forest and into the suburbs. Thirty years ago, this community was untouched (未受破壞的) wetlands (濕地) where capybaras roamed freely, hunted by their natural predators (掠食者) like pumas and jaguars. But in the late 1990s, one of the richest men in Argentina, Mr. Constantini, began converting this wilderness (荒野) to a gated community with shopping centers and golf courses. Naturally, the developers don’t appear to be interested in the plea to give capybaras a piece of land for them to once again roam freely. Instead, they turn to sterilization (絕育) as the only solution. ☕️如果你喜歡李老師分享的英文故事，歡迎請老師來喝杯咖啡，讓學習的力量，像水豚的繁殖能力一樣，生生不息🐁 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 🧑🏻🍳 Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

家庭媽網紅利用小孩拍片牟利，最後導致孩子身心受虐，進而推動法律改革, Being a red state (紅州，政治上偏保守的州), the legislator there is very skeptical (懷疑的) about intruding (干涉、侵犯) into family life with government regulations, with laws, so it’s a big surprise that Utah just became the first state to pass a law (通過法律) that requires online influencers who use their children to market their brands to set aside (預留、保留) money for the kids. And the law also grants (授予) the kids to take down all contents that they deem (認為) inappropriate once they reach adulthood. So why did a conservative state like Utah go out of their way to enact (制定) a law which they would normally consider an intrusion into family life? The bill was actually lobbied (遊說) and written by two daughters of a former Utah mom influencer, Ruby Franke. Many of you may not know this, but Utah is actually home to many popular mom influencers in the US. It has long been a family-first (以家庭為重的) kind of state due to a large percentage of its population being members of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints, also known as Mormon. The Mormon community has encouraged big family which usually has at least six kids and women to stay home as primary caregiver. Even though women mostly stay home, they are encouraged by the church to financially contribute to the family from home. So they have come up with all sorts of family business models. And since the American public have long been curious about (對…好奇) the lifestyle of Mormon, vlogging has become a popular way for wives here to capitalize on (利用…來賺錢) the curiosity. Ruby Franke is one of the popular mom influencers. Ruby Franke is a mother of six kids, and was married to Kevin Franke, an engineering college professor. Around 2015, they decided to start a YouTube channel which they named Eight Passengers because of the number of people in the family. The channel quickly took off (起飛，爆紅) and eventually it garnered (獲得) almost 3 million subscribers. Ruby chronicled (紀錄) the daily life of the family. People were fascinated by (被…吸引) their home life and how Ruby and Kevin raised their kids based on the teaching of the Mormon theology. The camera was constantly rolling, and every moment of kids’ lives was exposed (曝光) to the public, including their most humiliating (羞辱性的) moments. Ruby was making good money from the videos. But sometime around 2020, this perfect family image started to disintegrate (瓦解). Viewers began to notice some inappropriate content and comments made by Ruby. For example, once Ruby got into a pretty serious car accident with all her six kids in the car, but throughout the accident, she continued filming. Her kids’ distraught (心煩意亂) and distress (痛苦、困境) were all captured for viewers to see. And some viewers also noticed some of the punishments (懲罰) that Ruby issued to her kids were unusually severe, such as depriving them of food or bed to sleep on. Fast forward to (快轉到) 2023, Ruby and Kevin separated, and Ruby moved in with her therapist, taking two of her youngest kids. And the Eight Passengers YouTube was shut down. Then everything was even more bizarre (怪異的) and scarier when in 2023, one of the youngest kids escaped (逃跑) and knocked on a neighbor‘s door, asking them to call the police. The kid looked malnourished (營養不良的) and scrawny (瘦弱的). The police went to Ruby’s house and found the second kid. They also discovered Ruby and her therapist had been depriving kids of food and forcing them to work in hot sun, and all in the name of turning them into “good, obedient” kids. Last year Ruby was sentenced to (被判刑) 30 years in jail, pleading guilty (認罪) in all counts of child abuse. But that’s not enough for Ruby’s oldest daughter, Sheri. She wants all kids like her to be protected by law. According to her own statement, “every video shoot remained a special kind of torture (折磨).” We see all these YouTube or IG videos of happy families but we really don’t know the truth behind the images. ☕️如果你喜歡李老師分享的英文故事，歡迎請老師來喝杯咖啡，讓學習的觸角，引領你探索未知的角落！ 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 🧑🏻🍳 Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

How much are you willing to go in the name of science? Are you willing to take a sniff at a 5000-year-old mummy? Thousands of years ago, the ancient Egyptians mummified （做成木乃伊）their important societal figures （社會重要人物）after they died. In order to know how well-preserved （保存良好）are the mummies, or to put it more bluntly, in order to know whether the bodies underneath layers of wrapping have started to rot, scientists decided to put them to a smelling test （氣味測試）. The researchers used a technique called gas chromatography （氣相層析法）which could separate （分離）the different scents （氣味）inside the sarcophagus （石棺）, a stone coffin. And to their surprises （驚訝）, most of the mummies actually smelled quite pleasant. Sure that some of them may smell stale （腐敗的）and mouldy （發霉的）, but most smelled earthy （泥土味）and a little spicy （辛香的）. This actually makes logical sense （合乎邏輯）since oils, and balm （香膏）were used in the process of embalming （防腐處理）mummies. 如果你喜歡李老師的英文故事，歡迎請老師喝杯咖啡，讓學習的芬芳比木乃伊的氣味更悠長！ 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 🧑🏻🍳 Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
Charlie is not your typical (典型的) teenager. He’s thirteen years old this year. Growing up on his family farm in Australia, he started shearing (剪羊毛) sheep when he was just five years old. Having seen both his parents constantly (不斷地) shearing sheep, he got curious (好奇的) and asked them to teach him. At first, he wasn’t allowed to use electrical shearing tools (電動剪毛工具). As you can see, shearing sheep requires lots of skills and strength (力氣). First you have to hold the sheep still and when you shear, you can’t shear too close to the skin. Charlie found the entire process fascinating (迷人的) and fun. He said while other families went away for vacations , his family just enjoyed shearing sheep together. Domesticated (被馴養的) sheep don’t shed (自然脫落) naturally, so they can develop serious health issues (健康問題) if they are not regularly shorn (剪毛；為 shear 的過去分詞). Last December Charlie broke his personal record (打破自己的紀錄) by shearing 150 sheep in one go. When asked what he wants to do when he grows up, he says he wants to go into agriculture (農業) and shears full time. This is good news for the wool industry (羊毛產業) because they have long struggled (掙扎) to find more young shearers to join the field due to the toughness (艱苦) of the job. Worker shortages (短缺) have plagued (困擾) the shearing industry for years. It hopes to lure (吸引、誘導) more young people like Charlie in through strong earnings (收入). An experienced shearer (有經驗的剪毛工) can make up to $1000 a day. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-34125662 如果你喜歡李老師的英文故事，歡迎請老師喝杯咖啡（或去清境看綿羊脫衣秀🫦），讓學習的種苗像塗了生髮水般茂密連綿！ 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 🧑🏻🍳 Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

你是雞蛋控嗎？你想發揮DIY精神來吃自己養的雞所生的蛋嗎？ 也許下一波缺蛋潮、蛋價波動、甚至有禽流感時，有間公司已經明白你想要什麼囉❤️ Due to the spread （蔓延） of a highly contagious （具傳染性的） strain of bird flu （禽流感）, or avian influenza （禽流感）, there’s a tight supply （供應短缺） of eggs in stores across the US. True to its DIY spirit （自己動手的精神）, many people have turned to （求助於） raising their own egg-laying hens （產蛋母雞） in their own backyard for solution （解決方案）. As a result （結果）, a company called Rent the Chicken is experiencing a never-seen-before （前所未有的） demand （需求） for their products （產品）—mainly egg-laying hens （產蛋母雞）. For the price （價格） of around $850 , you get to rent （租用） two egg-laying hens （產蛋母雞） for six months, which will give you 8-14 eggs per week （每週8到14顆蛋）. The company will also provide （提供） you with a standard （標準的） chicken coop （雞舍）, 100 pounds （100磅） of chicken feed （雞飼料）, and a quick guide （快速指南） for taking care of （照顧） your chickens （雞隻）. If you can afford to splurge （負擔得起揮霍）, there’s also the deluxe rental package （豪華租賃方案） that can go up to $1500 , and with that price tag （價格標籤）, you can get four hens （四隻母雞） and a pretty fancy （相當華麗的） chicken coop （雞舍）. Rent-the-Chicken is not a new company （新公司）. In fact, it has been supplying （供應） chickens to homes （家庭） across the US and Canada since 2013 . And don’t worry （擔心） if you discover （發現） that you’ve grown attached to （產生感情） your hens （母雞）, the company also offers adoption service （收養服務） as well. So the next time you crave （渴望） for an omelet （煎蛋捲）, instead of heading straight to （直接前往） a supermarket （超市） for some eggs （雞蛋）, just simply （簡單地） go to your backyard （後院） and take a couple of （拿幾顆） freshly-laid eggs （剛產下的雞蛋）. 如果你喜歡李老師的英文故事，歡迎請老師喝杯咖啡（或吃雞蛋🥚），讓學習的湧泉源源不絕！沒有蛋蛋的哀傷🫰🏻 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 🧑🏻🍳 Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
