20、oody bags gets left behind by viewers and runners.This is becoming a big issue for cities how to host a worthwhile event, encouraging people to exercise and help charities, while protecting the environment?

28、, Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi grew two species in his lab that are commonly found in urban environments. The plants were grown from seed and allowed to mature for two months in the same space before they were divided into two groups. One group was exposed to 73 decibels of traffic noise recorded from a busy m

29、otorway in Tehran for 16 hours a day. The other group was left to grow in silence. After 15 days had passed, samples were taken from the youngest fully expanded leaves on every plant in the experiment and studied.Analysis of their leaves revealed that the chemicals which are indicators of stress in

30、plants were found at much higher levels in the species exposed to the traffic noise. The team also found that certain chemicals normally associated with healthy growth in plants were present at significantly reduced levels in the plants exposed to the noise. Even the weight of the freshly-cut leaves

31、 differed leaves from plants exposed to noise consistently weighed less than those from plants grown in silence.Dr Ghotbi-Ravandis findings make it clear that, though plants lack ears, the vibrations (震动) generated by the noise of traffic still bothers them enough to cause strong stress responses th

32、at are not much different to those that would be found in plants exposed to extreme conditions.The next question is whether all noise pollution affects all species in the same way.

37、p a new era of super-efficiency, where professionals will have to work smarter and faster or be knocked out.There is no better example of this than Morgan Stanley, which has been using GPT-4 since last year.

38、for its own wealth advisers. About 200 staff at the bank have been using it daily.

Slack allowed us to communicate with more people inside a company. But such tools also kept us further chained to work, squeezing (压榨) out

42、 minutes in the day that workers might have used in the past for deep-thinking or just taking a breather.GPT-4 clearly has the potential to squeeze more value out of human workers, but it may well come at the cost of our mental energy.
