26、e people living and working nearby.A rain garden is not very different from a traditional garden. It is just a far more eco-friendly garden. Usually it is built lower than the ground. Rain gardens make smart use of rain and storm water by temporarily holding water from rain and storms and letting it

27、 soak slowly into the ground before it runs streams or enters the public drinking water supply.Thus, a rain garden keeps the water, allowing it to be used as needed by plants in the rain garden, rather than flowing immediately into nearby streams and going unused. The water will soak slowly into the

28、 ground within a day or two. This creates an advantage that the rain garden does not allow mosquitoes to breed. This is a simple, attractive, and eco- friendly “ green ” way to treat storm water.What s more, planting a rain garden helps reduce pollution and improve the environment. Without using exp

29、ensive machinery and chemicals, rain gardens remove harmful chemicals in the rainwater and cut down on the amount of pollution reaching streams and rivers by up to 30%.Native plants are recommended for rain gardens because they are more used to the local climate, soil, and water conditions. They may

30、 attract local wildlife such as native birds. Water your rain garden immediately after planting and once a week, unless you have had at least an inch of rain during the week. Once native plants establish the necessary root system, they will require little care.7 / 10Often, local governments and priv

31、ate businesses develop large rain gardens in their yardsand in public parks as a way to improve the environment and solve flooding problems. However, you don t need to be a professionally environmental engineer to create a rain garden. As long as you re ec-coonscious homeowners, you can help the env

In one experiment, for example, beha

44、vioural immunologist （免疫學(xué)家）Mark Laudenslager, at the University of Denver, gave mild electricshocks to 24 rats. Half the animals could switch off the current by turning a wheel in their enclosure, while the other half could not. The rats in the two groups were paired so that each time one rat turned

45、 the wheel it protected both itself and its helpless partner from the shock. Laudenslager found that the immune response was depressed below normal in the helpless rats but not in those that could turn off the electricity. What he has demonstrated, he believes, is that lack of control over an event,

46、 not the experience itself, is what weakens the immune system.Other researchers agree. Jay Weiss, a psychologist at Duke University School of Medicine has shown that animals who are allowed to control unpleasant stimuli don dt evelop sleep disturbances or changes in brain chemistry typical of stress

47、ed rats. But if the animals are confronted with situations they have no control over, they later behave passively when faced with experiences they can control. Such findings reinforce psychologists suspicions that the experieor perception of helplessness is one of the most harmful factors in depress

48、ion.One of the most startling examples of how the mind can alter the immune response was discovered by chance. In 1975 psychologist Robert Ader at the University of Rochester School of Medicine conditioned （使形成條件反射） mice to avoid saccharin （糖精）by simultaneouslyfeeding them the sweetener and injectin

49、g them with a drug that while suppressing their immune systems caused stomach upsets. Associating the saccharin with the stomach pains the mice quickly learned to avoid the sweetener. In order to extinguish （去除）this dislike for the sweetener, Aderre-exposed the animals to saccharin, this time without the drug, and was astonished to fin
