8、ot performed in the brain alone, but that one“s muscles also participate. It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies. You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your who
9、le body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or more specifically, some part of their body.

23、making such diverse things as cars, airplanes, and food containers. In 1979 Americans used over five million tons of new aluminum, and one and a half million tons of recycled aluminum. Some ninety percent of the bauxite (矾士) ore from which new aluminum is normally derived had to be imported to meet
24、the demand. Poorer ores are abundant in the United States, however, researchers at Purdue University may recently have found a way to obtain aluminum magnetically from these. Although aluminum is not attracted by ordinary magnets, under special conditions it becomes temporarily “paramagnetic“, or ve
