听写方法：

建议大家采取以下方法，达到最好的学习效果。

1、完整听一遍所有内容，把握文章类别，理解文章大意。如果难度较大，可以先预习生词，扫清部分障碍。

2、以一句话或一个意群为单位，听完后暂停，逐词写下来。听不出来的部分反复听，实在不会，做好标记，继续听写后文。这一步结束，文章的大致文本就完成了。

3、从头再听，补充和改正之前漏写、错写的内容，结合上下文，尽量完整地写出文本。

4、校对。这是最重要的一步，将自己听写的文本与答案逐词校对，并归纳自己没写出来的原因，是词汇不认识，还是不熟悉发音技巧？对错误进行批改总结和整理。

5、你可以选择参加我们的契约打卡群，打卡规则参见：

听力答案及翻译

Now, this might sound too simplistic to affect behavior. But in one study, we found that mindfulness training was twice as good as gold standard therapy at helping people quit smoking. So it actually works.

听起来影响行为好像沒那容易，但在一次研究中，我们发现冥想的训练，在帮助人们戒烟的效果上比黄金标准治疗法好2倍，所以它真的有效。

And when we studied the brains of experienced meditators, we found that parts of a neural network of self-referential processing called the default mode network were at play. Now, one current hypothesis is that a region of this network, called the posterior cingulate cortex, is activated not necessarily by craving itself but when we get caught up in it, when we get sucked in, and it takes us for a ride.

当我们研究资深冥想者的大脑时，我们发现他们进行自我参照加工过程的神经网络，我们称之为「默认模式网络」，其中一部分有所回应。 目前有一个假说认为，神经网络中我们称之为「后扣带回皮质」的这一部分，不一定是因为瘾念本身而启动，也可以是当我们被瘾念牵绊住、被吸进去的时候，这一部分就开始工作。

In contrast, when we let go -- step out of the process just by being curiously aware of what's happening -- this same brain region quiets down.

相反来说，如果我们放下它-- 从这个过程中走出来，只是单纯的好奇到底发生了什么-- 同一区域的大脑就会安静下来。

Now we're testing app and online-based mindfulness training programs that target these core mechanisms and, ironically, use the same technology that's driving us to distraction to help us step out of our unhealthy habit patterns of smoking, of stress eating and other addictive behaviors.

现在我们在测试关于这些核心机制的手机应用和线上冥想训练课程，而讽刺的是，我们用来来帮助我们脱离自己不健康的习惯如吸烟、因压力而暴食和其他上瘾行为的恰恰是会让我们分心的技术。

参加契约打卡的童鞋，一定要把听写＋批改的笔记上传群里才算打卡成功哦～
