MythBusters is a TV program. Its
presenters, Jamie and Adam, collect some popular
sayings and then try to find out they're
true or not. Here're two interesting sayings.
Elephants
Are afraid of mice.
To find out if the saying is true or not,
Jamie and Adam travelled to South Africa to put
mice around elephants and see what would
happen. They put mice in small holes in the ground and covered them with
elephant dung(粪便).When an elephant came closer, they pulled the dung away to show
the mice. The elephant ran away quickly when it saw the mice. Jamie and Adam
thought it was enough to show that the saying is true.
The
colour red makes bulls angry.
The Spanish began using a red cape((披风)
in bullfighting(斗牛) around the1700s. Andpeople always
think that the colour red makes bulls angry.Jamie and Adam asked a bullfighter
to take flags(旗子) of different colours in front of
abull. As a result, the bull was not interested in flags in red, blue or white
when the flag werenot moving. To make the bull angry, the flag had to be
moving. In this way, Jamie and Adam found that the colour red doesn't make
bulls angry.
