請聽一段生物課的講課。
女Today let's look at a question scientists have studied for a long time: how do migrating birds find their way over thousands of kilometers? It turns out they use several tools. During the day, many birds use the position of the sun. At night, some species use the stars. In one famous experiment, young birds raised in a planetarium learned to find their direction from the artificial night sky. But perhaps the most surprising tool is the Earth's magnetic field. Researchers have found that birds can sense it, which helps them keep their direction even when the sky is cloudy. So migration isn't about one single sense. It's about combining information from different sources.
今天來看一個科學家研究很久的問題：候鳥怎麼飛越幾千公里還找得到路？原來牠們用了好幾種工具。白天，很多鳥靠太陽的位置；晚上，有些鳥種靠星星。在一個有名的實驗裡，在天文館長大的幼鳥，學會了靠人造夜空辨認方向。不過最令人驚訝的工具，也許是地球的磁場。研究人員發現鳥能感覺到磁場，所以就算天空多雲也能維持方向。所以遷徙靠的不是單一感官，而是結合不同來源的資訊。
第 15 段 請聽一段歷史課的講課。

旁白Listen to part of a lecture in a history class.
請聽一段歷史課的講課。
男In the late sixteen hundreds, coffee houses became extremely popular in London. They were sometimes called penny universities, because for the price of a cup of coffee, about a penny, anyone could sit and listen to conversations about politics, science and business. Some coffee houses even became the starting point for major institutions. For example, merchants who met at one coffee house to share news about ships eventually formed one of the world's largest insurance markets. So these weren't just places to drink coffee. They were centers for exchanging information.
十七世紀後期，咖啡館在倫敦非常流行。人們有時稱它們為「一便士大學」，因為只要一杯咖啡的錢，大約一便士，任何人都能坐下來聽人談政治、科學和生意。有些咖啡館甚至成了重要機構的起點。例如，在某家咖啡館聚會交換船隻消息的商人，後來組成了世界上最大的保險市場之一。所以這些地方不只是喝咖啡的地方，而是交換資訊的中心。
