Occasionally, things are different. In 1984, two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called Lindow Moss, in the
4、 north of England. A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it. It can be like a very big and very thick vegetable soupwalk in the wrong place and you can sink and disappear forever. The men were working when one of them saw something sticking outa human foot. Naturally, th
5、e men called the police,who then found the rest of the body. Was it a case of murder. Possibly-but it was a death nearly two thousand years old. The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and internal organsthe
6、 scientists who examined him were able to look inside the mans stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last meal. Why was this man so well preserved. 76 It was because he was in a very watery environment, safe fi:om the bacteria that need oxygen to live. Also, the water in the bog was ve
7、ry acidic. The acid preserved the mans skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coats and shoes. How did he die. Understandably, archaeologists and other scientists wanted to know more about the person that they called,“ Lindow Man ” . 77 His hands and fingernails suggested that he
8、hadnt done heavy manual work in his lifehe could have been a rich man. They found that he hadnt died by accident. The archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods. 1.

12、n engine of intellectual life, from the 18th-century cafes of London, where citizens gathered to discuss chemistry and politics, to the Left Bank bars of modern Paris, where Picasso talked about modem art. Without the metropolis, we might not have had the great art of Shakespeare. And yet, city life
13、 isnt easy. Now scientists have begun to examine how the city affects the brain, and the results are depressing. Just being in an urban environment, they have found, impairs 损害 our basic mental processes. 78 After spending a few minutes on a crowded city street, the brain is less able to hold things
14、 in memory, and suffers from reduced self-control. While its long been recognized that city life is exhausting, this new research suggests that cities actually dull our thinking, sometimes dramatically so. One of the main forces at work is a complete lack of nature, which is surprisingly beneficial

18、ng some scientists to dabble 涉足 in urban design, as they look for ways to make the city less damaging to the brain. 79 The good news is that even slight alterations, such as planting more trees in the inner city or creating urban parks with a greater variety of plants, can significantly reduce the n

According to Schwarzs study, the risk of getting a diagno
26、sis 诊断 of Type 2 diabetes for women who breastfed all their children for a month or longer was similar to that of women who had not given birth. But mothers who had never breastfed were nearly twice as likely to develop diabetes as women who had never given birth. Mothers who never breastfed were ab
27、out 1.4 times as likely to develop diabetes as women who breastfed for one to three months, Schwarz found. While one month of breastfeeding appears to make a difference, Schwarz says, even longer is better. 80 “ Previous studies have shown the longer the mom breastfeeds, the more benefit for her bod
