all the time can result in premature graying.here is a closer look at this situation and why some believe that this old wives tale could be true.as one ages，the hairs on the head also age.in fact，just about everything on the human body begins to show signs of wear and tear after a while.the joints wear and become stiff and skin wears and becomes wrinkled.hairs on the head grow and eventually

our taxes, and purchasing the necessities of life the term economic expansion suggests something desirable, but expansion simply means spending more moneymore spending doesnt mean that life is getting betterwe all know it often means the opposite - greed, crime, poverty, pollutionmore spending merely feeds our whole economic system, which is based on production and consumptionunless money keeps circulating, the economy breaks downif we dont keep consuming, the whole system goes into stalemate（僵局）how do we break the cycle and make some changes? we need to become far more aware of the results

plans to ensure that rural children who have followed their parents to cities can enjoy the same rights as their urban peers in education.beijing will allow migrant workers children to attend local vocational schools in 2013 and allow them to be matriculated by universities after graduating from the vocational programs in 2014, said a statement from the citys commission of education.shanghai took a step further, saying it will allow migrant children in the city to enter local senior high schools, vocational schools and sit college entrance exams (commonly known as gaokao) locally starting in 2014.guangdong has asked its cities to start recruiting（招收）migrant workers, has asked its cities to start recruiting migrant workers children in local senior high schools in 2013. the province will allow these children to sit gaokao and compete with local residents on an equal feeting in college entrance starting in 2016, luo said the restrictions would be relaxed gradually and step by step as the province must solve the conflict between its gigantic migrant population and a scarcity of education resources.migrant workers, whose children could be benefited by the new plans of the three regions, must have residential permits, stable jobs and incomes, and meet other local requirements, according to the plans.chinas hukou, or household registration system, used to confine children to

polished.【参考答案】6770、cbad科普常识类阅读理解。(2013浙江，b)below is a selection from a popular science 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 colour.although blood looks red when its outside the body，when its sitting in a vein near the surface of the skin，its more of a dark reddish purple colour.at the right depth，these bloodfilled veins reflect less red light than the surrounding skin，making them look blue by comparison.which works harder，your 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 shifts 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 grow back in grownups?baby (or “milk”) teeth do not last long；they fall out to make room for bigger，stronger adult teeth later on.adult teeth fall out when they become damaged，decayed and infected by bacteria.once this second set of teeth has grown in，youre done.when theyre gone，theyre 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 simply lose height as their spine(脊柱) becomes shorter and more curved due to disuse and the effects of gravity(重力)many (but not all) men and women do lose height as they get older.men lose an average of 34 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 were，like 60 cm tall，like a little boy again？no，because old people dont really shrink！it is not that they are growing backwardstheir 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.why 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 gravityandmotionsensing organs in your inner ear，which work together with your eyes to keep your vision and balance stable.but，when 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 areafrom mice to dogs，cats，and humans.so all 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 the planet.if exercise wears you out，how can it be good for you?because our bodies adapt to everything we do to them.and as far as your body is concerned，its “use it，or lose it”！its not that exercise makes you healthy；
