28、unexpected snowball melting.During the winter of 2005, he rolled 13 giant snowballs near his home in Scotland.

29、 until summer, and then transported to London in refrigerated trucks.

35、s a problem for Bigfoot-believers because if the creature really does exist, then it must 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 w

36、e cant prove that the fairy doesnt exist. We cant prove that there are no leprechauns（妖精）.”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 sai

37、d. “We are fearful of the unknown, so we imagine monsters （妖怪）.”Craig Woolheater, of the 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. I think were dealing with an animal that

38、 is fairly rare,” Woolheater added. “So youre talking about something that is probably a hundred times more rare than a black bear, and certainly a lot more rare than a mountain lion, and those animals arent seen all that often.”Meanwhile, the Institute of Texan Cultures is taking a democratic （民主的）

39、approach. The final portion of the exhibition gives visitors a chance to vote on whether or not they believe the evidence is believable. On the first day, “yes” outweighed “no” 178 to 53.64.

New research conducted by brain researcher Avi Karni of the Universit

43、y of Haifa in Israel explores the possibility that naps help 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

44、 memories that stay with us for years, such as “what” memories - 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 partic

45、ipants to learn a difficult set of finger games, and then divided the study subjects into two groups: one that napped for an hour, and one that didnt. 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

46、the same level, but the group that slept in the afternoon improved 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

47、 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 has discovered the memory process during the sleepB. taking a nap helps improve both long-term and short-term memoriesC. Karnis fi
