27、r pollution, greenhouse effects, and the use of land and other natural resources.

32、 to death.The human body may look solid, but most of it is water. Newborn babies are as much as 85% water. Women are about 65% water and men about 75% .

33、r is necessary for cooling the body under hot weather and when we are working hard or exercising, water carries body heat to the surface of the skin, where the heat is lost through perspiration.Researchers note that fat cells block body heat from escaping quickly. Fat cells under the skin act like w

34、arm clothing to keep body heat inside. This is why overweight people have a more easy time staying cool than thin people.Researchers also note that cool liquids cool us faster than warm liquids, because cold liquids take up more heat inside the body and carry it away faster. They say, however, that

35、cold sweet drinks do not work well because the sugar slows the liquid from getting into the blood stream.The body loses water every day through perspiration and urine.

41、on its own. The story goes that during the Roman Empire, there was a beautiful girl named Rhodanthe. Her beauty drew many suitors(求婚者). Exhausted by their pursuit, Rhodanthe was forced to hide in the temple of her friend Diana to stay away from her suitors. Unfortunately, Diana became jealous. And w

42、hen the suitors broke down her temple gates to get near their beloved Rhodanthe, she became angry, turning Rhodanthe into a rose and her suitors into thorns.In Greek legend, the rose was created by Chloris, the Greek goddess of flowers. It was just a lifeless seed that Chloris found one day in a cle

43、aring in the woods. She asked Aphrodite, the goddess of love, to give her beauty, Dionysus, the god of wine, to give her a sweet scent(气味), and the three Graces to give her charm, brightness and joy. Then Zephyr, the West Wind, blew away the clouds so that Apollo, the sun god, could shine and make t

44、his flower blossom. And so the rose was born and was immediately called the Queen of Flowers.The first true primary red rose seen in Europe was introduced in 1792 from China, where it had been growing wild in the mountains.
