Let's Review Lesson 3, Genki 1

建议同学们先听，如果有听不懂的地方再看文本。

       爱情有三种，第一种是为爱而爱。大部分跟男孩有关。男孩年龄大了，该结婚了。于是别人介绍一个，了解一下对方的条件，觉得还行，于是开始培养对对方的感情。首先不断地告诉自己，对方人不错，过了这村就没有这店，要珍惜；有时犹豫了，总会有人提醒他，你要求是不是太高了，你年纪大了，让他觉得不对女孩好不应该，于是加倍对女孩好。
　　这种爱的表现形式就是对对方很好，总之，一切以得到对方的爱为目的。
　　第二种爱就是被爱而爱，大部分是女孩。女孩大了，周围的朋友们都嫁人了，自己却还是一个人，挺孤独的，家人着急，别人议论，自己也觉得有压力，这时有男孩来向她表示点什么了，想想也还不错，既然找不到自己爱的人，就去找一个爱自己的人吧，于是就同意交往了，发现对方真的对自己不错，那就结婚吧。
　　结婚后，这两种爱情的问题出现了。男孩的目的达到了，还这样累干什么呢？女孩便感受不到男孩对她的爱，于是她爱的基础也没有了。矛盾产生了，女的抱怨男孩不像婚前那样爱自己了，男孩觉得女孩不懂事，都结婚了，还爱不爱的。于是开始吵，双方都觉得婚姻没意思。
　　好在还有第三种爱。前两种爱是先确定关系而后爱，这一种是先爱再确定关系。这种爱就是因爱而爱。两个人只是因为爱对方而爱，他们爱的是对方这个人，没有其他什么。他们不会因为只有一碗饭吃而觉得倒霉，而会因为分吃一碗饭而觉得幸福。这种爱情，在都市里渐渐变成一个童话，如果你有幸遇到，请好好儿珍惜。

You're lying on the couch, bored, looking at videos on TikTok or YouTube. You watch a video of a dog swimming, and then switch to a cooking video, then to someone doing a weird dance.

But it doesn't help your boredom.

In fact, according to new research, it could make it even worse.

Researchers in Canada found that switching from one video to another, or moving forward or backward in the same video, can increase feelings of boredom.

In a study published by the American Psychological Association, the researchers did several experiments with more than 1,200 people.

In one experiment, participants were first given seven different five-minute videos they could switch between over 10 minutes. They were then given one 10-minute video to watch, without being able to fast-forward.

The participants reported lower levels of boredom when they watched the single 10-minute video, and found the experience to be more engaging and meaningful than when they switched between the shorter videos.

In another experiment, participants were found to be less bored when they watched a single 10-minute video than when they were given 10 minutes to skip forward and backward through a 50-minute video.

Katy Tam, one of the researchers, said digital switching — switching between videos or within a video itself — can make watching something feel meaningless, because you don't have time to engage with it or understand it.

"If people want a more enjoyable experience when watching videos, they can try to stay focused on the content and minimize digital switching," she said. "Just like paying for a more immersive experience in a movie theater, more enjoyment comes from immersing oneself in online videos rather than swiping through them."
