听力原文： Scientists at Brown University in the Northeastern United States [27] discover that bacteria from yogurt can be made into a substance that helps fight HIV. Led by Professor Bharat Ramratnam, they modify the bacteria to cream cyanovirin—[28] a protein that protects the body from infection by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The hope is to use the bio-engineered yogurt bacteria as the active ingredient in a foam, cream or suppository that can be applied before sex to prevent HIV transmission.
What is discovered by scientists at Brown University？
听力原文： American visitors to Eastern Asia are often surprised and puzzled by how Asian cultures and customs differ from those in the United States. What's considered typical or proper social conduct in one country may be regard as odd, improper or even rude in the other. (18) For example, people from some Eastern Asian countries may begin a conversation with a stranger by asking personal questions about family, home or work. Such questions are thought to be friendly, whereas they might be considered offensive in the United States. On the other hand, people in most Asian cultures are far more guarded about expressing their feelings publicly than most Americans are. (19) Openly displaying annoyance or anger, yelling, arguing loudly and so forth is considered ill-mannered in countries such as Japan. Many Eastern Asians prefer to hold their emotions in check and instead express themselves with great politeness. They try not to be blunt and avoid making direct criticisms. In fact, they often keep their differences of opinion to themselves and merely smile and remain silent rather than engage in a confrontation. By comparison, Americans are often frank about displaying both positive and negative emotions on the street and in other public places. Americans visiting Asia should keep in mind that such behavior. may cause offense. A major difference between American culture and most Asian cultures is that in Asia, the community is more important than the individual. (20) Most Americans are considered a success when they make a name for themselves.
How would some Asians start their conversation when they meet for the first time？
How long do the volunteers work in a small barn on a farm outside of Freeport, Illinois？

听力原文： Talk Show Host: Good evening and welcome to tonight's program. Our guest is the world-known Dr. Charles Smith, who has sparked a great deal of attention over the past several years for his research in the area of language learning. His new book, Learning a Language over Eggs and Toast, has been on the best seller list for the past six weeks. Welcome to our program.
Dr. Smith: Ah, it's a pleasure to be here.
Talk Show Host: Now, Dr. Smith. Tell us about the title of your book, Learning a Language over Eggs and Toast. Dr. Smith: Well, one of the most important keys to learning another language is to establish a regular study program, like planning a few minutes every morning around breakfast time. Talk Show Host: Now, sorry for saying this, but your ideas may sound a little simplistic to our viewers. I mean I took Spanish in high school for four years, and I didn't become a proficient speaker of the language.
Dr. Smith: Well, I think there are many people that feel that way, and that's just it. I'm not implying that we can become fluent speakers in a matter of a few minutes here and there, but rather a regular, consistent, and focused course of study can help us on the way to the promised language of language mastery, and remember there is a difference between native fluency and proficiency in a language, and I am proposing the latter.
Talk Show Host: So what are some of the basic keys you are suggesting？
Dr. Smith: Well, as I just mentioned, people need to plan out their study by setting realistic and attainable goals from the beginning. I mean, some people get caught up the craze of learning the language in 30 days, only to become disenchanted when they don't perform. up to their expectations. And small steps, little by little, are the key. For example, planning to learn five new vocabulary words a day and to learn to use them actively is far better than learning 30 and forgetting them the next day.
Talk Show Host: Um-hum. Now you mentioned something about maximizing your learning potential by learning about your own individual learning styles. Could you elaborate on that？
Dr. Smith: Sure. People often have different ways of learning and approach learning tasks differently. Some people are visual learners who prefer to see models of the patterns they are expected to learn; others are auditory learners who favor hearing instructions, for example, over reading them. Now, our preferences are determined by many factors, for example, personality, culture, and past experience. Talk Show Host: Well, Dr. Smith. What is your learning style？
Dr. Smith: Well, I'm a very tactile learner. Talk Show Host: You mean one who learns through handson experience？
Dr. Smith: Exactly. Talk Show Host: So, how does knowing your learning style. benefit you？
Dr. Smith: Well, this might seem a little unusual, but moving around while trying to learn and memorize material helps me a great deal. While I cut up tomatoes and onions for my omelet in the morning, I might recite aloud vocabulary to the rhythm of the knife. But it is important to remember that often our learning styles are not singular in nature, but are often very multidimensional, and we tend lo learn differentlyin different situations.
Talk Show Host: So what is my learning style？
Dr. Smith: Well, you're going to have to read my book to find out.
Talk Show Host: Okay. We have just found out from Dr. Charles Smith, author of the book, Learning Languages over Eggs and Toast. Thanks for joining us.
Dr. Smith: My pleasure.
