16、cience book. If blood is red, why are veins（静脉） blue? Actually, veins are not blue at all. They are more of a clear, yellowish color. Although blood looks red when its outside the body, when its sitting in the vein near the surface of the skin, its more of a dark reddish purple color. At the right d
17、epth, these blood-filled veins reflect less red light than the surrounding skin, making them look blue by comparison. Which works harder, you heart or your brain? That kind of depends on whether youre busy thinking or busy exercising. Your heart works up to three times harder during exercise, and sh
18、ifts enough blood over a lifetime to fill a supertanker. But in the long run, your brain probably tips it, because even when youre sitting still your brain is using twice as much energy as your heart, and it takes four to five times as much blood to feed it. Why do teeth fall out, and why dont they
19、grow back in grown-ups? Baby （or “milk”） teeth do not last long; they fall out to make bigger room for bigger, stronger adult teeth later on. Adult teeth fall our when they become damaged, decayed and infected by bacteria. Once this second set of teeth has grown in, youre done. When theyre gone, the
20、y are gone. This is because nature figures youre set for life, and what controls regrowth of your teeth switches off. Do old people shrink as they age? Yes and no. Many people do get shorter as they age. But, when they do, it isnt because theyre shrinking all over. They lose height as their spine（脊柱
21、） becomes shorter and more curved due to disuse and the effect of gravity. Many （but not all） men and women do lose height as they get older. Men lose and average of 3-4 cm in height as they age, while women may lose 5 cm or more. If you live to be 200 years old, would you keep shrinking till you we
22、re, like 60 cm tall, like a little boy again? No, because old people dont really shrink! It is not that they are growing backwards - their legs, arms and backbones getting shorter. When they do get shorter, its because the spine has shortened a little. Or, more often, become more bent and curved. Wh
23、y does spinning make you dizzy（眩晕的）? Because your brain gets confused between what youre seeing and what youre feeling. The brain senses that youre spinning using special gravity-and-motion-sensing organs in your inner ear, which work together with your eyes to keep your vision balance stable. But w
24、hen you suddenly stop spinning the system goes out of control, and your brain thinks youre moving while youre not. Where do feelings and emotions come from?Mostly from an ancient part of the brain called the limbic system. All mammals have this brain area - from mice to dogs, cats, and humans. So al
25、l mammals feel basic emotions like fear, pain and pleasure. But since human feelings also involve other, newer bits of the brain, we feel more complex emotions than any other animal on this planet. If exercise wears you out, how can it be good for you? Because our bodies adapt to everything we do to
26、 them. And as far as your body is concerned, its “use it, or lose it”! Its not that exercise makes you healthy, its more that a lack of exercise leaves your body weak and easily affected by disease. 36. Why do some old people look a little shrunken as they age?A. Because their spine is in active use
27、. B. Because they are more easily affected by gravity. C. Because they keep growing backwards. D. Because their spine becomes more bent. 37. Which of the following statements about our brain is true?A. In the long run, our brain probably works harder than our heart. B. When our brain senses the spin

29、. C. To challenge new findings in medical research. D. To report the latest discoveries in medical science B Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well. Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listeni
