ahonest. bclever. crich. dkind. cit is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. more often the doctors cant fix the damage. sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. the doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.dr. robert white, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. he thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. if it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. this gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.dr. white tried his idea on 13 monkeys. first he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. he made the monkeys blood back to the monkeys brains. when the brains temperature was 10, dr. white stopped the blood to the brain. after 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. he warmed the blood again. after their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. they were healthy and busy. each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.29.the biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that _.a. the time is too short for doctors b. the patients are often too nervousc. the damage is extremely hard to fix d. the blood-cooling machine might break down30.the brain operation was made possible mainly by _.a. taking the blood out of the brain b. trying the operation on monkeys firstc. having the blood go through a machine d. lowering the brains temperature31.with dr. whites new idea, the operation on the damaged brain _.a. can last as long as 30 minutes b. can keep the brains blood warmc. can keep the patients brain healthy d. can help monkeys do different jobs d why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys? the answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. to the egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for muslims, it means heaven. red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. in china, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the new year. for many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils（灾祸）.peoples choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies reactions （反应）toward them. green is said to be the most restful color. it has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. people who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches. red can cause a persons blood pressure to rise and increase peoples appetites（食欲）. many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “buy now” button because red is a color that easily catches a persons eye.blue is another calming color. unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. so if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.the next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.32. muslims regard green as a symbol of heaven mainly because of their . a. cultural values b. commercial purposesc. personal experiences d. physical reactions to the color33. why will many commercial websites have a red “buy now” button?
