37、s(碰撞).Unfortunately,solid information is hard to come by.Daniel Parisi,the papers lead author,realized that thePamplona bull-runs offered the perfect natural experiment.Dr Parisi and his team went to two different rooftop locations in Pamplona in July 2019,andfilmed the runners as the animals were r
38、eleased.Later in the lab,they calculated the speed of therunners,the density(密度)of the crowd,the probability of a runner tripping and falling and therelationship between runner-group density and speed.Perhaps unsurprisingly,the researchers found that runners picked up speed when the bullsdrew near.L
39、ess expected was the finding that the speed of individual runners increased with thedensity of the crowd,which was contrary to a long-held assumption in architectural and urban-design circles that people will slow their pace as group density goes up,in order to lower the riskof a collision,which cou

45、th fall and autumn interchangeably when referring to this time of year,making it theonly season in the English language with two widely accepted names.37.According to D,fall isnt a modern name that followed the more traditionalautumn.The two terms are actually first recorded within a few hundred yea
46、rs,with the term fallbeing used even a bit earlier.38The word is of Germanic origin and meant“picking”or“collecting”,a nod to the actof gathering and preserving crops in the field before winter.In the 1500s,English speakers beganreferring to the season separating the hot and cold months as either th
47、e fall of the leaf or thespring of the leaf,or fall and spring for short.39By the end of the 1600s,autumn,from theFrench word“automne”and the Latin“autumnus”,had overtaken fall as the standard British termfor the third season.Around the same time England adopted autumn,the first-ever British America
