　　英语四级听力美文第38篇:The Wind

　　We notice the wind when it seems cruel,when the trees turn away from it, and it cuts into ourhearts.“Certain winds will make men’s temper bad,” said George Eliot.In Israel, there is onekind of wind that brings irritability,headaches, sickness and respiratory difficulties.InGermany, a warm, dry wind is said to blow heartaches down from the Alps.

　　In Southern California,the Santa Ana is associated with an increase in depression anddomestic violence. Scientists have tried without success to identify physiological reasons forthese reactions.Everyone agrees, however, that dry winds like the Santa Ana,the cold northerlywind in France and the wind in Germany and Switzerland seem to have negative effects on ourmental and physical well-being. On windy days, playground fights, suicides and heart failuresare more frequent. In Geneva, traffic accidents increase when a wind called the bise blows. Atthe request of patients, some Swiss and German hospitals postpone surgery when the windblows off the northern slopes of the Alps. It is human to ask what is behind the wind. It is easyto personify the wind as the breath of God. The act of taking wind into our lungs is what givesus life. The Jews, Arabs, Romans and Greeks all took their word for spirit from the word forwind. Eskimo women once chased the wind from their house with clubs, while the men shot itwith rifles to kill the evil spirit they believed rode its gusts. But our day-to-day lives are nolonger blown on the winds. We do not identify wind with spirit any more. That is good forcommerce, but it exacts a cost to the human eye and heart. The wind blows us simplepleasures. There are winds lapping at shores, bathing us in scents of coconut and spice, beckoning us further.
