15.Alaskan black bears hibernate for up to seven months a year,during which time they do not eat or drink,before waking up in virtually the same physical state they fell asleep in.Now experts hope to develop methods of putting humans into a similar state which could help astronauts survive long missions and lead to new ways of treating severely ill patients.
While many studies have examined hibernation in mice and hedgehogs,little research has been done into the same condition in larger mammals such as bears.
But new research conducted at the Institute of Arctic Biology at the University of Alaska monitored the animals'body temperature,heart rate and muscle movements while they slept.
The research results showed that during a five-month hibernation the bears'body temeratures varied between 30℃and 36℃in cycles that lasted between two and seven days-a pattern that was previously unknown in hibernating animals.
The research project leader said,"If our research could help by showing how to reduce metabolic(新陈代谢的) rates and oxygen demands in human tissues,one could possibly save severely ill patients.We simply need to know how to turn things on and off to take advantage of the different levels of hibernation."
Craig Heller,of Stanford University,who contributed to the study,added:"There has always been a thought that,if there is ever long-distance space travel,it would be good to be able to put people into a state of lower metabolism or a state of hibernation.That's almost science fiction but you can see the logical basis."

A.many studies have examined hibernation in mice and bears as well
B.humans'body temperatures vary between 30℃and 36℃while they sleep
C.research into hibernation in animals may help deadly patients stay longer
D.scientists have already take advantage of the different levels of hibernation in space missions.

20.A Woman and a Fork
There was a young woman was diagnosed with a terminal illness and could only live three months.So as she was getting her things"in order,"she (36)B her Rabbi (法师)and had him come to her house to (37)A certain aspects of her final wishes.
She told him which songs she wanted sung at the (38)C,what scriptures she would like read,and what outfit she wanted to be buried in.
Everything was in order and the Rabbi was preparing to leave (39)c the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her.
"There's one more thing,"she said (40)A."What'that?""This is very important,I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand."
The Rabbi stood looking at the young woman,not knowing quite what to say.
"That surprises you,doesn't it?"the young woman asked."Well,to be honest,I'm (41)D by the request,"said the Rabbi.
The young woman (42)A."My grandmother once told me this story,and from then on,I have always done so.I have also,always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of (43)D.
In all my years of attending socials and dinners,I always remember that when the dishes of the main (44)Cwere being cleared,someone would inevitably lean over and say,'Keep your fork.'It was my favorite part (45)D I knew that something better was coming…like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie…"
So,I just want people to see me there in that casket(棺材)with a fork in my hand and I want them to46"What's with the fork?"(47)D I want you to tell them:"Keep your fork…the best is yet to come."
The Rabbi's eyes were (48)B up with tears of joy as he hugged the young woman good-bye.He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death.But he also knew that the young woman had a better grasp of (49)D than he did.She had a better grasp of (50)cheaven would be like than many people twice her age,with twice as much experience and knowledge.
She knew that something better was coming.At the funeral people were walking by the young woman's casket and they saw the cloak she was wearing and the fork (51)C in her right hand.Over and over,the Rabbi heard the question"What's with the fork?"And over and over he (52)B.
During his message,the Rabbi told the people of the (53)D he had with the young woman shortly before she died.He also told them about the fork and what it symbolized to (54)D.The Rabbi told the people how he could not stop thinking about the (55)C and told them that they probably would not be able to stop thinking about it either.
He was right.So the next time you reach down for your fork,let it remind you ever so gently,that the best is yet to come.
