An outbreak, which was to lead to surprising development, was one that happened in Cuba during the Spanish-American War.An army group under Walter
12、Reed was sent there in June 1900 with orders to give special attention to questions about the cause and prevention of yellow fever. In many experiments, he proved the truth of an idea advanced in 1881 by a Cuban doctor that the city type of mosquitoes passed on the disease. They are born in pools of
13、 quiet and warm water, within a short distance of peoples homes.So a general came to Havana with orders from the United States government to dry up these pools. He carried out the task so well that the mosquitoes disappeared. Yellow fever never returned to Havana. A few years later the same general

18、e ground, a world record-breaking height.Baumgartner, 42 ,also broke the record for fastest jump by reaching speeds up to 833.9 miles per hour during his free fall back down to Earth. For comparison, an average Boeing 737 airliner flies at 40,000 feet at 600 miles per hour. At a press conference fol
19、lowing the event, Baumgartner said the experience was humbling and harder than he expected. “Sometimes you have to go up really high to understand how small you are,” Baumgartner said.Baumgartner and a team of scientists, engineers and doctors spent five years preparing and training for the project,
20、 called Red Bull Stratos after the projects sponsor. For the space jump, Baumgartner wore a specially designed space suit and was carried up to his jump point by a large helium balloon from inside the Red Bull Stratos space capsule.Even with careful planning, the mission had some obstacles. The jump
21、 was first scheduled for October 8, but it was postponed several times over the week because of weather conditions. Baumgartner finally began the ascent(攀登)from Roswell, New Mexico, on Sunday, October 14. But on the way up, Baumgartners faceplate began to fog up, making it hard for him to see. The t

27、r the whole lifelong track of cognitive（认知的）development during ageing,“says Martin Wojtowicz of the University of Toronto,Canada.“In humans, it may delay the appearance of Alzheimers symptoms（阿兹海默氏症） , possibly to the point of preventing them.“Wojtowiczs team divided 80 young male rats into two equa
28、l groups,and placed running wheels in the cages of one group for a period of six weeks.Around four months laterwhen the rats had reached middle agethe team taught all the rats to connect an electric shock with being in a specific box.When placed in the box,they froze with fear.Two weeks later, the t
29、eam tested the rats in three situations: exactly the same box in the same room, the same box with the room arranged differently, and a completely different box in a different room.The rats without access to a running wheel when they were young now froze the same percentage of times in each of these
30、situations, suggesting they couldnt remember which one was dangerous. But those that had been able to run in their youth froze 40 to 50 percent less in both changed box settings.“The results suggest the amount of physical activity when were young,at least for rats, has influence on brain and cogniti

34、dy. I loved going to her house on holiday. She had been sick for the last few years and, though my job had taken me away across the town, I tried to visit her as much as possible. I helped with the shopping, the cooking and the cleaning and taking her pet cat Mazy to the vet. Sad as her passing away
35、 was, what happened to Mazy was even more worrying. Because aunt Suzy had no children, there wasnt anyone who seemed to care for her beloved cat friend. I would have taken her in a short time, but my apartment doesnt allow pets. First, we talked with her neighbors. Mr. Jenkins, who was alone and liv
36、ed across the street, wasnt interested. Joe and Sally who lived next door had a small child with serious skin allergies(过敏症 ). My aunts best friend Molly who had lived just down the road was unable to take care of herself as she had serious health problems. Second, we thought about our family member
37、s. My brother Bobby and his wife Jill were eliminated at once as they arent cat people. My cousin in California was a bit interested, but we werent sure about the trip as Mazy was nearly as old as my aunt (in cat years!). Finally, we came to the local humane society to see whether they would be able
38、 to help her find a new home. The problem was that most people and families only welcomed a smart little cat into their home, not a dull old one. In the end, we had to put Mazy to sleep. I had spoken with the vet and realized it was possible for the best. It was so hard to lose aunt Suzy and then ha
39、ve nowhere for Mazy to live. A few months went by and I had gone to my aunts house to clear out some of her belongings. I happened to see her mailman. Jerry and we started to talk about my aunt when he asked about Mazy. I told him that we had to put Mazy to sleep because we couldnt find a home for h
40、er. Jerry got really quiet. “I promised Suzy that if anything ever happened to her, Id take care of Mazy”, he said sadly. “Suzy always said shed told her lawyer the arrangement.” Hearing this, my heart sank to my feet and I almost cried. The saddest part, I realized, was this all could have been avo
41、ided. I guess we were just so busy in those final months that we didnt think about it. We could have called my aunts lawyer to take care of it in less than 10 minutes. Ill never forgive myself for not thinking of it sooner. And Ill never forgive myself for losing Mazy.32.To care for her aunts cat th

When lab ra
45、ts are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month. 36 One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. 37 We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强)connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.Su
46、pport is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元)in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. 38 Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. 39 The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period
47、 of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.If Tononis theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a nights sleep, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information-our brains may h
48、ave smaller room for new experiences.Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. 40 “You keep what matters,” Tononi says.A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.B. Its as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.C. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.D. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.E. Th
