This is what
Murphy’s Law tells us:If things can go wrong, they
will go wrong. But is it true?
Of
the
studies
about
Murphy’s
Law,
the
most
famous
one
is
the
buttered
toas
t(
烤面包
片
)phenomenon
(
现象
):One toast with butter
falls;it lands butter-side down most of the time.
To prove this, Robert Matthews did a
lot of experiments with more than 1,000 British
school
kids in 2001.
In the
first experiment, each student put a piece of
buttered toast on a plate, let it fall off 20
times and noted which side it landed
on. Of almost 10,000 experiments, toast landed
butter-side
down 62 percent of the
time.
But you may ask:Is it the butter
that plays a role?Here comes Matthews’ second
experiment.
This
time,
instead
of
butter,
the
toast
had
a
letter“B”written
on
one
s
ide.
It
still
landed
58
percent of the time on
the B-side.
This proved that Murphy’s
Law is true:If the toast can land
butter
-side down, it will do so.
Matthews did another experiment. When
students threw the toast from a height of 2.5
metres,
the toast landed butter-side
down only 47 percent of the time.
“Toast
lands
butter
-
side
down
because
humans
aren’t
tall
enough
to
let
it
land
any
other
way,”Matthews said.

A
A lot of people drink bottled water in
the world. A water bottle offers great
convenience. It
can be bought almost
anywhere, carried around for a while, and then
thrown away.
The influence of bottled
water on the environment, however, is very big.
About 2.7 million
tons of plastic is
turned into bottles which are only used once each
year. This requires a lot of oil
and
water. It also produces greenhouse gases. Bottled
water is often carried for long distances to
reach people who buy it. This uses even
more fossil fuels (
化石燃料
) and
creates more pollution.
Although the
bottles can be recycled, only small parts of them
are. The United States only recycles
about 23 percent. The rest are part of
a growing waste problem.
Convenience isn’t the only reason for
bottled water to become popular. Many
peopl
e believe
that it must
be cleaner and healthier than tap water from
public water systems. But this is not true.
In developed countries such as the
United States and some countries in Europe, laws
about safe
water are often stricter for
tap water than for bottled water.
It
may
come
as
a
surprise
that
nearly
40
percent
of
the
water
bottled
in
the
United
States
starts from tap water. Before bottling,
some companies filter (
过滤
)
it, and they might add some
things
for
taste.
What’s
more,
bottled
water
can
cost
f
rom
240
to
10,000
times
more
than
tap
water.
“Back
to
the
tap”
activities
start
around
the
world.
In
order
to
save
money,
use
fewer
resources,
and
create
less
water
waste,
they
support
using
tap
water
and
reusable
bottles
rather
than bottled water.
San Francisco and other cities across the United
States no longer allow their
government
departments
to
buy
bottled
water.
