DICTATION 2008.10.13 Dictation Doing a few household chores （家庭杂务）can be just as effective. Official recommendations advise us to exercise for a minimum of （至少）20 minutes a time. The blood fat（血脂）levels were 30% less. Until around 10,000BC, all humans lived a nomadic life（游牧生活）. Dictation In 455AD, Rome’s power went into steep decline（急剧下降）. Cities and towns began to spring up（迅速发展）across Europe and Asia. There was a need for a staging post（补给站）or an interchange on a trade route. In medieval times（中世纪）, cities grew to exploit trade routes. Dictation Evidence of the effects of the increasing pace of life（生活节奏）can be seen on all sides. The primary culprit（罪魁祸首）is the increasing prevalence of technology. The high-tech revolution（高科技革命）has brought serious health problems. Our physiology has not evolved to keep pace with（跟上）the technology. Dictation Boys use music as a badge of identity（身份的标志）. Dr North shies away from（回避）saying that music has evolved as a mechanism for mate selection. Stephen does not subscribe to（赞同）the view. That might shed light on（解释清楚）why human beings alone attach such importance to making music. Dictation A third of the water is now extracted from underground aquifers（地下蓄水层）. To compound the problem（更糟糕的是）, half of the rainfall was diverted. The winter floods created a threat to economic expansion（经济扩张）. The restoration of LA rivers is seen as important for ecological sustainability（生态可持续性）. * *
