Switzerland has a problem, and it needs your help.

Between 1918 and 1964, lots of military ammunition was thrown into lakes around the country. At the time, it was believed to be a safe way to dispose of it.

And it wasn't a small amount, either. According to a government press release, about 8,000 metric tons of ammunition lies underwater, mostly in three lakes: Lake Thun, Lake Brienz and parts of Lake Lucerne.

Some of the ammunition lies as deep as 220 meters, and some is just a few meters deep.

Now, the country needs help getting it out, and it's offering a prize of about $58,000 for the best ideas.

Getting the ammunition out won't be easy — although it has been underwater for a long time, the risk of explosion is still high. Some of it weighs up to 50 kilograms, and the water visibility is poor in many parts of the lakes.

Some of the ammunition has components that can pollute the water and soil if moved, so the government is also looking for ideas that are environmentally friendly.

The competition to find the best idea is open now, and will run until February 2025. The three best ideas will be announced in April next year, and the winners will share the $58,000 prize.

The government said this doesn't mean the ideas will be implemented immediately, but said they could help with future research on the issue of underwater ammunition.

--------------------------------------------------
It is recommended that you study in the following ways:
Step 1: Gist listening. Listen to get the main idea. (more times if necessary)
Step 2: Read the text to find out words you didn't get, then look up the dictionary. 
Step 3: Listen and imitate as much as you can without looking at the text.
Step 4: Write down what you hear if you want to practise writing.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
好久没有跟大家分享了，因为过去几个月我非常忙。我去了很多地方，一边工作一边旅行。因为太忙了，有很多想做的事情一直没有时间做。如果你也跟我一样，在生活和工作中有拖延症，那今天的内容可能对你有一些帮助。我们来听一听吧。
我特别喜欢这三个定律啊，简洁高效，快速变优秀。
第一个叫萨盖定律。戴一块手表的人能够准确的知道时间，但戴两块手表呢，很可能就不知道是几点了。一个阶段的目标应该是明确的，想要太多信息太乱，只会打乱自己的节奏。
第二个，48小时定律。假如你有了一个决定了，但是没有在48个小时内去做，那大概率就不会再做了。拖延非常消耗我们的耐心和热情，想做什么就在48个小时之内去做掉，不要让美好无疾而终。
第三个，帕金森定律。一项任务呢，可以在10个小时完成，也可能4个小时就做完了，换句话来讲啊，暑假作业总是拖到最后一刻，工作和学习，也总是拖到最后一刻才搞定。给自己设定一个最后的期限，更专注更高效，把原本蹉跎掉的时间拿来享受生活。这多好呀。
你听出来没有，这三个定律分别是关于目标、行动和时间。优秀的人都会掌握好这三件事。加油！
你学中文的目标是什么呢？快行动起来吧。我们下期见。（音频来自李筱懿）
