If blood is red, why are veins (静脉) blue? Actually, veins are not blue at all. They are more of a clear, yellowish color. Although blood looks red when it’s outside the body, when it’s sitting in a vein near the surface of the skin, it’s more of a dark reddish purple color. At the right depth, these blood-filled veins reflect less red light than the surrounding skin, making them look blue by comparison. Which works harder, your heart or your brain? That kind of depends on whether you’re busy thinking or busy exercising. Your heart works up to three times harder during exercise, and shifts enough blood over a lifetime to fill a supertanker（超级油轮）. But, in the long run, your brain probably tips it, because even when you’re sitting still your brain is using twice as much energy as your heart, and it takes four to five times as much blood to feed it. Why do teeth fall out, and why don’t they grow back in grown-ups? Baby (or “milk”) teeth do not last long; they fall out to make bigger room for bigger, stronger adult teeth later on. Adult teeth fall out when they become damaged, decayed（腐烂）and infected by bacteria. Once this second set of teeth has grown in, you’re done. When they’re gone, they are gone. This is because nature figures you’re set for life, and what controls regrowth of your teeth switches off. Do old people shrink（收缩）as they age? Yes and no. Many people do get shorter as they age. But, when they do, it isn’t because they’re shrinking all over. They simply lose height as their spine (脊柱) becomes shorter and more curved due to disuse and the effect of gravity (重力). Many (but not all) men and women do lose height as they get older. Men lose an average of 3-4 cm in height as they age, while women may lose 5 cm or more. If you live to be 200 years old, would you keep shrinking till you were, like 60 cm tall, like a little boy again? No, because old people don’t really shrink! It is not that they are growing backwards—their legs, arms and backbones getting shorter. When they do get shorter, it’s because the spine has shortened a little. Or, more often, become more bent and curved. Why does spinning make you dizzy)? Because your brain gets confused between what you’re seeing and what you’re feeling. The brain senses that you’re spinning using special gravity-and-motion-sensing organs in your inner ear, which work together with your eyes to keep your vision balance stable. But when you suddenly stop spinning the system goes out of control, and your brain thinks you’re moving while you’re not. Where do feelings and emotions come from? Mostly from an ancient part of the brain called the limbic system（边缘系统）. All mammals have this brain area — from mice to dogs, cats, and humans. So all mammals feel basic emotions like fear, pain and pleasure. But since human feelings also involve other, newer bits of the brain, we feel more complex emotions than any other animal on this planet. If exercise wears you out, how can it be good for you? Because our bodies adapt to everything we do to them. And as far as your body is concerned, it’s “use it, or lose it”! It’s not that exercise makes you healthy, it’s more that a lack of exercise leaves your body weak and easily affected by disease. |

How to stop shopping? Sophie Kinsella, a best-selling writer, tells you how to keep your shopping desire under control.
1. For many women the desire to stop will never disappear. I' m not saying never buy anything ever, but make sure what you buy really benefits your life.
2. If you have been shopping crazily for ten years. It' s unrealistic to stop it completely, hut try to slow the pace. Go to the shops, walk around and enjoy the whole experience instead of buying an expensive purse.
3. Look at what you spend each month and make a budget (预算), or go out carrying really heavy bags, then you simply won't be able to carry anything else.
4. Be a wise shopper. Look in your closet and make a list of what you actually need. If you have five pairs of red shoes, do you need another pair? If you were wondering, the answer is "NO".
5. Shopping with friends is a good choice. Helping your friends find something nice can bring you the same excitement as shopping for yourself. It is also a way to improve friendship.
6. Rediscover your money boxes and enjoy the pleasure of saving up. I gave my friends money boxes with slogans(标语) such as "Shoe fund" and "Shipping fund" on them.
7. I do shop online, but I don' t think it could ever take the place of the real shopping. For me shopping is about the experience of stores and the touching of cloth, which you can' t do when clicking through web pages.
8. Before you buy anything, slow down, stop and think. Go and have a cup of coffee if necessary.
