17、in all afternoon!So youll get wet!Well get wet!But were not upset!Are you familiar with this song? Have you ever been caught in the rain without taking an umbrella?

18、drops. So what should you do? Things are more complicated than you might think. Franco Bocci, a professor at the University of Brescia in Italy, found that whether you should travel slowly or quickly in rain depends on the winds direction and your bodys shape.

19、ls directly on you, Bocci suggests that you should run and hide as fast as possible. But if the wind comes from behind and blows the rain onto your back, the best thing to do is walk at the same speed as the wind. This way, both your front and back will stay mostly dry. This is not all. When the win

20、d blows in from the side, youll have to think about one more thing your body shape. Thinner people are hit by fewer raindrops.

21、can not always, but in general,” Bocci told BBC News. “If youre really thin, its more probable that there will be an optimal speed. Otherwise, it is better to run fast.” In fact, the question of how to hide away from the rain has puzzled scientists for many years. Back in 1987, they thought that run

22、ning or walking did not really make a difference. Years later they realized that wind direction might be a factor (因素). And here, more complicated study results have been found by Bocci.

After studying their sounds, the team identified slight differences in the calls parents used to communicate with each chick. And even before the nestlings had learned to c
