29、When a large number of positive ions are present in the air many people experi-ence unpleasant effects such as headaches,fatigue,irritability,and some particularlysensitive people suffer nausea or even mental disturbance.Animals are also affected,particularly before earthquakes,snakes have been obse

30、rved to come out of hibernation,rats to flee from their burrows,dogs howl and cats jump about unaccountably.This has led the US Geographical Survey to fund a network of volunteers to watchanimals in an effort to foresee such disasters before they hit vulnerable areas such asCalifornia.Conversely,whe

38、t be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes.Most typical history courses concentrate onpolitics,economics,and war.But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people,but also religious be

44、of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was(and still is)its absence of human and animal images.This reflects the Islamic belief that statues are unholy.1.More can be learned about a culture from a study of art history than general history because art history.A.show us the religious an
