雅思閱讀：11個(gè)奇妙的事實(shí)

1. Santa Klaus was created by Coca-Cola and he has been featured in Coke ads since the 1920s.

圣誕老人形象是可口可樂(lè)公司創(chuàng)造出來(lái)的，自從20世紀(jì)20年代以來(lái)，圣誕老人就一直出現(xiàn)在可樂(lè)廣告中。

2. Cats have over 100 vocal chords. Makes you wonder how many keys they can say “Meow” in! And cats can sleep 16 hours or more every 24 hours.

貓咪可以發(fā)出超過(guò)100種聲音，你可能會(huì)想知道喵星人到底能發(fā)出來(lái)多少種音調(diào)的“喵” 叫聲。另外貓咪每天能睡16個(gè)小時(shí)甚至更久。

3. Shrimp can only swim backwards, turtles breathe through their asses, fish can drown and a duck can’t walk without bobbing its head. This always looks so funny to me.

蝦只會(huì)往后游，烏龜用屁股呼吸，魚(yú)也會(huì)溺水，鴨子不擺頭就不會(huì)走。這些我都覺(jué)得好有趣!

4. 11% of people in the world are left-handed. Makes you wonder about all those left-handed desks there were in elementary school. When you mistakenly sat in one everything was wrong with the world.

世界上有11%的人是左撇子， 這可能會(huì)讓你想到小學(xué)里有的左撇子課桌。要是不小心跟左撇子坐了同桌，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)全世界都混亂了。

5. The Mona Lisa has no eyebrows!

蒙娜麗莎沒(méi)有眉毛。

6. The average raindrop falls at 7mph, which is I guess why it hurts so much when hail is pelleting you from the sky.

雨點(diǎn)平均下降速度為每小時(shí)7英里(約為11千米)，我猜這也是為什么冰雹從天空中降落砸到我們會(huì)覺(jué)得那么疼。

7. Delaware, Georgia, Louisiana, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia — just a few of of the States that are named after a real human.

特拉華州、喬治亞州、路易斯安那州、紐約州、賓夕法尼亞州、馬里蘭州、弗吉尼亞州，美國(guó)50個(gè)州當(dāng)中只有這幾個(gè)是根據(jù)真實(shí)名字命名的。

8. No matter how hard you try, no piece of paper can be folded in half more than 7 times. I just tried it — it can’t be done.

不管你多努力地嘗試，你都無(wú)法將一張紙對(duì)半折超過(guò)7次，我試過(guò)了，我做不到。

9. If you think about it, “Typewriter” is the longest word you can type on a keyboard that only uses a single row of qwerty letters.

如果你仔細(xì)想想，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)“Typewriter” (打字機(jī))是鍵盤(pán)上只使用一行字母就可以打出來(lái)的最長(zhǎng)的英文單詞。

10. Because things get expand when they heated, hot water is actually HEAVIER than cold water.

因?yàn)槲矬w遇熱膨脹，所以熱水其實(shí)要比冷水重。

11. Unfortunately, we daydream less as we get older and older. I guess reality and bills set in.

不幸的是，隨著我們年紀(jì)越來(lái)越大，我們做的白日夢(mèng)就會(huì)越來(lái)越少。我猜是因?yàn)闅埧岬默F(xiàn)實(shí)和堆積的賬單的壓力吧。
