17、hen it is certain that plenty of sunny and rainy weather occurredIf the rings are close together, then the climate was bad for the tree Studying trees is important not only for the history of weather, but also for the history of manIn an area of New Mexico you can find only sand no trees or peopleHo

18、wever, many centuries ago a large population lived thereThey left suddenlyWhy?

The lungs become less able to take in oxygen. Powerful

25、muscles gradually lose their strength. The heart loses power and pumps less blood. Bones grow easier to break. Finally, we meet a stress, a stress that is greater than our physical resistance.

27、s. The result was achieved through a special protein limited diet, which had a great effect on the chemistry of the brain.

28、the first time, the mystery of why we age is being seriously challenged. Scientists in many fields are now making striking and far-reaching discoveries.An average lifetime lasts 75 years, yet in each of us lies a potential for a longer life. If we could keep the vitality and resistance to disease th

33、 good consequence other countries might learn from its mistakes. For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization.

35、 started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900. Naurus real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (磷酸盐)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mi

36、ning the phosphate. A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants.
