PTE听力口语练习-科学60秒:The smart seats

听力内容:

60秒科学节目(SSS)是科学美国人网站的一套广播栏目,英文名称:Scientific American – 60 Second Science,节目内容以科学报道为主,节目仅一分钟的时间,主要对当今的科学技术新发展作以简明、通俗的介绍,对于科学的发展如何影响人们的生活环境、健康状况及科学技术,提供了大量简明易懂的阐释。

On a beautiful day in Moscow, visitors to a park can sit on a bench, enjoy the scenery…and find out how much they weigh.

New park benches will include scales that capture a sitting person’s weight.

The smart seats are to be sponsored by local gyms, according to Russian news reports.

In a bid to boost fitness, the benches will also display health tips.

And, of course, advertise nearby fitness centers.

The idea has been vetted before:

a fitness club in the Netherlands installed benches with scales at a public bus stop.

The sitter’s weight was shown in large lettering on a nearby electronic panel.

Russia aims to scale up the experiment:

Moscow plans to debut at least 20 weighing benches by the end of the year.

The benches have their limits:

they don’t throw people off so they’ll get some exercise instead of sitting, and they have yet to be programmed to make snide remarks.

But perhaps the benches will most improve health by motivating Muscovites to extend a stroll rather than sit and have their weights displayed to curious passersby.
