Besides containing attractive flowers, trees and other plants that beautify the community, eco-friendly rain gardens arehealthy for the environment and the 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 lowerthan the ground. Rain gardens make smart use of rain and storm water by temporarily holding water from rain and storms andletting it 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 flowingimmediately into nearby streams and going unused. The water will soak slowly into the ground within a day or two. Thiscreates 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 expensive
machinery and chemicals, rain gardens remove harmful chemicals in the rainwater and cut down on the amount of pollutionreaching 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 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, theywill require little care.
Often, local governments and private businesses develop large rain gardens in their yards and in public parks as a way toimprove 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 eco-conscioushomeowners, you can help the environment by building smaller rain gardens in your yards.66. Which of the following is NOT true for the functions of rain gardens?A. They are good for living conditions.B. They increase pollution.

We sometimes think humans are uniquely vulnerable to anxiety, but stress seems to affect the immune defenses of loweranimals too. In one experiment, for example, behavioural immunologist（免疫学家）Mark Laudenslager, at the University ofDenver, gave mild electric shocks 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 the wheel itprotected both itself and its helpless partner from the shock. Laudenslager found that the immune response was depressedbelow normal in the helpless rats but not in those that could turn off the electricity. What he has demonstrated, he believes, isthat lack of control over an event, 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 areallowed to control unpleasant stimuli don’t develop sleep disturbances or changes in brain chemistry typical of stressed rats.But if the animals are confronted with situations they have no control over, they later behave passively when faced withexperiences they can control. Such findings reinforce psychologists’ suspicions that the experience or perception ofhelplessness is one of the most harmful factors in depression.
One of the most startling examples of how the mind can alter the immune response was discovered by chance. In 1975psychologist Robert Ader at the University of Rochester School of Medicine conditioned（使……形成条件反射）mice toavoid saccharin（糖精）by simultaneously feeding them the sweetener and injecting them with a drug that while
suppressing their immune systems caused stomach upsets. Associating the saccharin with the stomach pains the micequickly learned to avoid the sweetener. In order to extinguish（去除）this dislike for the sweetener, Ader re-exposed theanimals to saccharin, this time without the drug, and was astonished to find that those mice that had received the highestamounts of sweetener during their earlier conditioning died. He could only speculate that he had so successfully conditionedthe rats that saccharin alone now served to weaken their immune systems enough to kill them.
73. Laudenslager’s experiment showed that the immune system of those rats who could turn off the electricity _______.A. was strengthenedB. was not affectedC. was alteredD. was weakened
74. According to the passage, the experience of helplessness causes rats to _______A. try to control unpleasant stimuliB. turn off the electricity
C. become abnormally suspicious
D. behave passively in controllable situations
75. The reason why the mice in Ader’s experiment avoided saccharin was that _______.A. they disliked its taste
B. it affected their immune systemsC. it led to stomach pains
D. they associated it with stomachaches
76. It can be concluded from the passage that the immune systems of animals_______.A. can be weakened by conditioningB. can be suppressed by drug injections
C. can be affected by frequent doeses of saccharinD. can be altered by electric shocksⅣ. Translation
