4. Listen to the Scientific American "Jockey Positions Speed up Horses"
Transcripts: 红色:错词;蓝色:正确
Horse racing is a sport that's 200 years old. "It's a beautiful day for the race..." And the day(a day at) the track is much more exciting now than that(it) was back then.
That's because horses are faster than (they) used to be. Or (they)? A study in July, 17th issue of Science shows that it's the way that jockeys ride that's make(made) racing more hard pondering(heart pounding) than before.
Images 1800s show that the boys in soak(silks) looked pretty relaxed as they went along from(for the) ride. But modern jockeys- crounching, tightly coiled, top(atop their galloping) steeds- activately work to make sure the(their) weight doesn't slow things down. Using GPS to track the riders' motions, scientists found that jockeys move out of place(phase) with their mouths(mounts). That means that the horse doesn't (have to) physically move the jockey through (each cyclical) stride. As a result, races (are) 5 to 7 percent faster than they were a 100 years ago. |
