Histrians are ften asked t examine the actins f ur ancestrs s we can repeat their wisdm and avid their mistakes. But the present is just t different frm the past. It is a waste f time t study Hannibal’s strategies in the Secnd Punic War s as t cpy them in the Third Wrld War. What wrked well in cavalry battles will nt necessarily be beneficial in cyber（网络）war. Studying histry aims t lsen（松开）the hld f the past.
A yung cuple building a new hme may ask the architect fr a nice lawn（草坪）in the frnt yard. Why a lawn? “Because lawns are beautiful,” the cuple might explain. But why d they think s?
The idea f grwing a lawn at the entrance t private huses and public buildings was brn in the castles f French and English aristcrats（贵族）in the late Middle Ages. Well-kept lawns demanded land and a lt f wrk. In exchange, they prduced nthing f value. The neat grass at the entrance t castles was a scial psitin symbl nbdy culd pretend t have. Later the new parliaments, supreme curts, presidential residences increasingly shwed their pwer in rw upn rw f neat green grass.

When yu nw cme t plan yur dream huse, yu might think twice abut having a lawn in the frnt yard. Yu are f curse still free t d it. But yu are als free t shake ff the cultural carg given t yu by the upper class.

The first hibernatin（冬眠）studies with human subjects culd be wrkable within a decade, a Eurpean Space Agency（ESA）researcher thinks. Such experiments wuld make it pssible fr a science-fictin-like apprach t lng-time space missins that wuld see astrnauts（宇航员）placed int prtective sleep fr weeks r mnths n their way t faraway destinatins.
Experiments have shwn that it’s pssible t cause hıbernatın m therwise nn-hibernating animals, such as rats, and bring them safely back t life a few days later. “The rats receive a drug, a neurtransmitter substance（神经递质）, and are brught int a dark space with reduced temperature,” Jurgen Bereiter-Hahn, a member f ESA’s hibernatin research grup said. “It wrks very nicely. but the prblem is that yu have t apply the drug repeatedly t maintain（维持）the state, which culd have damagıng effects ver the lnger term.”
The hibernating astrnaut wuld nt nly save the agency cst fr water, fd and xygen. Astrnauts wuld, mst likely, wake up rather fit.（withut suffering many f the negative side effects f lng-term bed rest r living in micrgravity（微重力）. In fact, studies shw that the slwed dwn cells f a hibernating bdy dn’t get damaged by radiatin（辐射）Besides, research in animals suggests that bdies f hibernating astrnauts might lse much less bne and muscle mass than the bdies f thse awake in micrgravity. Upn arrival, these hibernatrs wuld thus be fit and ready t start challenging explratin almst straight away after regaining awareness.
These prtective qualities make hibernatin a pssibility nt just fr spaceflight, but als fr medicine. Just like astrnauts in micrgravity, patients in lng-term bed rest waste away quickly. Slwing life prcesses t a minimum wuld prvide what scientists call a “bridge”, a perid f time that wuld allw physicians t lk fr slutins withut racing against the clck. Althugh mst current hibernatin research is funded by space agencies, scientists think that the first human t be put int this state f hibernatin will mst likely be an ICU patient. Once the first human survives and benefits frm hibernatin, things will likely start mving frward much faster.
32. Accrding t paragraph 1, what d the hibernatin studies mainly aim t d?
A. Imprve sleep quality in space.B. Investigate hibernatin mystery.
C. Prmte manned space explratin.D. Enrich science fictin writing methds.
33. What is a challenge in the hibernatin experiments?
A. Ensuring prper lighting.B. Bringing animals back t life.
C. Maintaining lw temperature.D. Cntrlling pssible side effects.
34. What advantage might hibernatin bring t astrnauts?
A. It might help t keep physical fitness.B. It might increase lng-term bed rest.
C. It might decrease radiatin cntact.D. It might raise mental awareness.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly abut?
A. The rle f physicians in mnitring hibernating patients.
B. The pssible applicatin f hibernatin beynd spaceflight.
C. The imprtance fr increasing funds fr hibernatin research.
D. The need f human experiments in advancing hibernatin studies.
