You are walking down the street. Suddenly it starts to rain and you don’t have an umbrella. What do you do? Run or walk?
Most people would choose to run because it will get you out of the rain faster. But if you run, you also run into more raindrops. So what should you do?
Franco Bocci, a teacher at the University of Brescia in Italy, found that you should consider the wind direction and your body shape when you try to decide to move slowly or quickly in rain, according to the BBC.
When there is no wind and the rain is landing directly on you, Bocci suggests that you should run as fast as possible.
But if the wind comes from behind and blows the rain onto your back, the best thing to do is walking at the same speed as the wind. This way, both your front and back will stay mostly dry.
When the wind blows from the side, you'll have to think about one more thing—your body shape. Thinner people are hit by fewer raindrops. So a fatter person should run, while a thinner person should still try to match their speed to the wind.
“In general (大体来说),the best thing is to run, as fast as you can—not always, but in general, Bocci told BBC News. “If you’re really thin, it’s more probable that there will be an optimal speed. Otherwise (否则),it is better to run fast. ”
Now you know what to do next time the rain catches you in the middle of the street. But the best way to stay dry is still to carry an umbrella.
1.According to Bocci, when it rains and there is no wind, what should you do?
A.Walk slowly. B.Run as fast as you can.
C.Wait until the rain stops. D.Walk at the same speed as the rain.
2.Walking at the same speed when the wind comes from behind will .
A.help you walk easily in the rain B.keep any rain falling on you
C.stop you from falling over D.keep your body mostly dry
3.If the wind comes from the side, a thin person should consider________.
A.how fast he can run B.how long the rain will last
C.what the speed of the wind is D.what clothes he is wearing
4.The underlined word “optimal” probably means________.
A.合适的 B.极限的 C.缓慢的 D.难以超越的
