It sounds【T2】______that when someone runs up and down, the body is【T3】______to more drops of water. But several studies have put this【T4】______to the test and found it not to be true. One such test was carried out in 1987. The Italian【T5】______who did the experiment said that if the distance is short enough, running gets a person less wet than walking. But running only keeps you about 10% drier. That is to say, running isn’t【T6】______the effort and it made no difference whether a person walked or ran.
    Two American scientists did a much more careful experiment than the【T7】______one. 【T8】______They also found’that runners like to lean forward,【T9】______. However, they said running in the rain probably keeps you drier than walking. But do remember to take an umbrella with you! 【T10】______. [br] 【T4】
选项
答案 saying
解析 根据空格前的this可知此处需要填入一个名词，且this提示我们此处需要填入的名词应指代上文提到的内容。由于上文中一直提到的是一句古话，因此空格处所填单词的意思也应与tale的意思相近。结合录音可知答案为saying，意为“说法”。
