Rain is not what it used to be.A new study reveals that much of the precipitation(雨、雪等的)降落; 降水[雨](量) in Europe contains such high levels of diolved pesticides that it would be illegal to supply it as drinking water.
“Studies in Switzerland have found that rain is laced with混有 toxic levels of atrazine除草剂, regularly exceeded in rain”,says Stephan Muller, a chemist at the Wwi Federal Institute for Environmental Science and
Technlgy in Dubendorf.The chemicals appear to 似乎have evaporated from fields and become part of the clouds.
Both the Europe Union and Switzerland have set a limit of 100 nanograms for any particular pesticide of driking warter.But ,especially in the first minutes of a heavy storm,rain can contain much more than that.
In a study to be published by Muller and his collegue Thomas Bucheli in Anslytical Chemistry this summer,one sample of rainwater contained almost 4000 nanograms per liter of 2,4- dinitrophinol, a widely used pesticide.Previously,the author had shown that in rain sample taken from 41 storms ,nine contained more than 100 nanograms of atrazine per liter,one of them around 900 nanograms.
In the latest study,the highest concentrations of pesticides turned up in the first rain after a ling dry spell,particalarly when local fields had recently been sprayed,Until now , scientist had aumed that the pesticides only infiltrated groundwater directly from fields.
Muller warns that the growing practice of using rainwater that falls onto roofs to recharge再装填 underground water may be adding to be danger.This water often contains diolved herbicides that had been added to roofing materials, such as bitumen sheets,to prevent vegetation growing.He suggests that the first flush of rain should be diverted into sewers to minimize the pollution of drinking water,which is not usuaslly treated to remove these herbicides and pesticides.
76.According to the Swedish scientist ,the pestcides in rain ____
A.exceed those in crop sprays
B.can be traced back to crop sprays C.are not as toxic as they used to be D.are nothing but atrazine and alachlor 77.Muller and Bucheli found that 2,4-dinitrophenol____

C.pesticides containated groundwater of drinking water
D.rain would minimize the pollution of drinking water
79.Muller warns us not____
A.not tap groundwarter for drinking water
B.to use such roofing materials as bitumen sheets C.to let the first flush of rain recharge underground water
D.to divert the flush of rain into sewers without removing its herbicides and pesticides

Folk wisdom holds that the blind can hear better than people with sight.Scientists have a new reason to believe it.
Reasearch now indicates that blind and sighted people display the same skill at locating a sound’s origin when using both ears ,but some blind people can home in on sounds more accurately than their sighted counterparts when all have one ear blocked.Canadian scientists described the work in the Sept.17 NATUR.Participants in the study were tested individually in a sound-insulated绝缘的; 隔热的 room.They faced 16 small,concealed loudspeakers arrayed in a semicircle a few feet away.With a headrest keeping their head steady,the participants pointed to the perceived origins of the sounds.
The rearchers tested eight blind people,who had been completely sightle from birth of since a very early age.They also tested three nearly blind persons,who had some residual vision at the periphery外围 of their gaze;seven sighted people wearing blindfolds;and 29 sighted people without blindfolds.All participants were tested beforehand to ensure that their hearing was normal.
When restricted to one-ear,or monaural,listening,four of the eight blind people identified sound sources more accurately than did the sighted people,says study co-author合著者 Michel Pare,a neuroscientist at the University of Montreal.The sighted people showed especially poor localization of sounds from the speakers on the side of the blocked ear.
In sighted people who can hear with both ears,“the brain learns to rely on binaural (stereo) cues.These data suggest that blind people haven’t learned that and Keep monaural cues as the dominant cues,”says Eric I.Knudsen,a neurobiologist at Stanford University School Medicine ,“I find it surpring.”
