33、ke most of the Netherlands, Hilversum is actually in a hilly area with the soil mostly consisting of sand.

37、he town. Television gave another push to the local economy.

Duiker placedhundreds of remarkable buildings

38、 in Hilversum. These modern architectural masterpieces（杰作） are so many that Hilversum almost feels like an open airmuseum.

43、examples.First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag.

47、sick.” Within a couple of daystruly terrible days for someastronauts brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear, and space sickness disappears.Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous. For instance, astronauts lose bone mass. Thats why exercise is
