1 A magazine's design is more than decoration, more than simple packaging. It expresses the magazine's very character. The Atlantic Monthly has long attempted to provide a design environment in which two disparate traditions - literary and journalistic - can co-exist in pleasurable dignity. The redesign that we introduce with this issue - the work of our art director, Judy Garlan - represents, we think, a notable enhancement of that environment.
2 Garlan explains some of what was in her mind as she began to create the new design:"I saw this as an opportunity to bring the look closer to matching the elegance and power of the writing which the magazine is known for. The overall design has to be able to encompass a great diversity of styles and subjects - urgent pieces of reporting, serious essays, lighter pieces, lifestyle-oriented pieces, short stories, poetry. We don't want lighter pieces to seem too heavy, and we don't want heavier pieces to seem too pretty. We also use a broad range of art and photography, and the design has to work well with that, too. At the same time, the magazine needs to have a consistent feel, needs to underscore the sense that everything in it is part of one Atlantic world. "
3 The primary typefaces Garlan chose for this task are Times Roman, for a more readable body type, and Bauer Bodoni, for a more stylish and flexible display type (article titles, large initials, and so on). Other aspects of the new design are structural. The articles in the front of the magazine, which once flowed into one another, now stand on their own, to gain prominence. The travel column, now featured in every issue, has been moved from the back to the front. As noted in this space last month, the word "Monthly" rejoins "The Atlantic" on the cover, after a decade-long absence.
4 Judy Garlan came to the Atlantic in 1981 after having served as the art director of several other magazines. During her tenure here The Atlantic has won more than 300 awards for visual excellence, from the society of illustrators, the American Institute of Graphic Arts, the Art Directors Club, Communication Arts, and elsewhere. Garlan was in various
ways assisted in the redesign by the entire art-department staff. Robin Gilmore, Betsy Urrico, Gillian Kahn, and Lisa Manning.
5 The artist Nicholas Gaetano contributed as well. he redrew our colophon (the figure of Neptune that appears on the contents page) and created the symbols that will appear regularly on this page (a rendition of our building), on the Puzzler page, above the opening of letters, and on the masthead. Gaetano, whose work manages to combine stylish clarity and breezy strength, is the cover artist of this issue.
Part of the new design is to be concerned with the following EXCEPT

听力原文： Good morning, everyone. Today we're going to talk about acid rain. You may wonder what is acid rain. Well, it is almost impossible to describe the mathematical relationship between what goes up as pollutant emissions and what comes down as acid rain. But we do know the primary source of acid rain is the power station smoke stack. The pollutants combine with moisture in the atmosphere and they fall as an acid mixture causing the rain. Do you know what the Germans call this acid rain？ They call it royal water, because it can even break down gold.
The royal water, I mean the acid rain, falls in rain or snow on the romantic Black Forest, and attacks the soil. Microorganisms within the soil collapse and metals harmful to trees like aluminum are leaked out. At the same time, the acid rain attacks the leaves and dissolves their waxy coating. The leaves then shrivel and die. About one in every ten trees in the Black Forest is a fir. 76% of all firs are dying. The first symptoms of death by pollution in a fir is the yellowing of the needles. At the back of the fir needle you can see the pores through which the plants breathe. The acid rain destroys those pores, and prevent them from closing. So on a warm day, the plant loses all of its moisture through all those open pores. The needles, as a result, turn yellow and die.
The statistics that are available now are horrifying. Of these trees in the Black Forest, 41% of all spruce are diseased, 43% of all pine are diseased, 26% of beach trees, 76% of all fir trees and 16% of all others are dying. Environmental groups like Green Peace Campaign around Europe are trying to stop the acid rain.
Germany is now leading the way in attacking part of the problem. Motor vehicles are thought to contribute significantly to the pollution of the atmosphere. 'The by-products of motor vehicle emissions are considered dangerous to plants and humans as well. In order to clean up motor vehicle emissions, all new cars in Germany must now meet new emission standards and be fitted with a device called catalytic converter. Use of the converter requires people to switch to lead-free petrol. This might explain why the Europeans are reluctant tofollow Germany's lead in cleaning up its motor vehicle emission. It's unlikely that Germany will force her European neighbors to change to lead-free petrol. The reason is that though her neighbors may be slow in cleaning up their smoke stacks, they will have to comply with the new motor vehicle requirements, if they want the wealthy German tourists driving across their borders. Certainly, the menace of acid rain knows no borders because it gathers in the rain clouds and goes with the prevailing winds. So Canada's lakes die from America's pollution. Germany's trees die from her next-door neighbors. Sweden's lakes fall victim to Britain's industry. And there are many similar examples. And I won't go into them because of time constraint. Like Germany, the United States also introduced strict clean air-controls on motor vehicle emissions in the mid-70s as part of their efforts to reduce acid rain. But throughout the northern hemisphere it's agreed that such measures, though important, will be of minimal effect. If we are to save what's left of the forests and lakes in the world, a strict international emission standard must be uniformly imposed on industry. However, it's unlikely that will be agreed before many more hectares of precious forests are destroyed.
In the Black Forest, the acid rain is said to attack all EXCEPT
The percentage of firs dying in the Black Forest is
