36、st exist in fairly big numbers. Otherwise, it would long ago have gone extinct（灭绝）.“Not a single dead body has been found,” said Joe Nickell. “While we cant prove Bigfoot doesnt exist. Its fair to point out that we cant prove that the fairy doesnt exist. We cant prove that there are no leprechauns（妖
37、精）.”The Bigfoot myth is fueled by human hopes and fears. In that manner it is similar to other myths.“We are hopeful that we are not alone in the universe, so we believe in extraterrestrials （外人）,” Joe Nickell said. “We are fearful of the unknown, so we imagine monsters （妖怪）.”Craig Woolheater, of th
38、e Texas Bigfoot Research Centre, agreed that there are “a whole lot of questions and not many answers”.“What were trying to do is get some answers and gather hard evidence.

From the last paragraph we learn that _.A. the Institute of Texan Cultures thinks Bigfoot existsB. most people trust the Institute of Texan CulturesC. most people think Big

New research conducted by brain researcher Avi Karni of the University of Haifa in Israel explores the possibility that naps help
44、 lock in sometimes long-term memories. “We still dont know exactly how memory system works during sleep, but the results of this research suggest it is possible to speed up memory consolidation (巩固) ,” Karni said. Long-term memory refers to memories that stay with us for years, such as “what” memori
45、es - a car accident that happened yesterday- or “how to” memories, such as ones learned ability to play the pianos.Karni, also one of the authors of the study published in a recent issue of the journal Nature Neuroscience, instructed participants to learn a difficult set of finger games, and then di

The people who took an afternoon snooze showed obvious improvement in their performance by that evening.“After a nights sleep the two groups were at the same level, but the group that slept in the afternoon im
47、proved much faster than the group that stayed awake,” Karni said. And the study also showed just how much faster a 90-minute nap could help lock in long-term memories. “Daytime sleep can shorten the time how to memory weakens and forgetting starts,” Karni said, “Instead of 6 to 8 hours, the brain consolidated the memory during the 90-minute nap.” 68. We can learn from the article that _.A. the new research h
