Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctor can’t fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.‎ Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is ‎ very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.‎ ‎ Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys’ blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys’ brains. When the brain’s temperature was 10℃, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again.

The first time I got on a bike, I had no idea what I was doing, and just about everything went wrong. My granddad told me to just put my feet on the pedals and start, pedaling(骑自行车). He also told me he would hold onto the back of the bike the whole time, yet he didn't.‎ As soon as I started trying to balance myself, he let go. I happened to look back just then.

Yet the books that American children used in school all came from Britain. The books were all about British people and British places. Webster wanted books that would mean more to American children. So he wrote three books that used American examples--a grammar book, a spelling book, and a reader. These books were very popular, and millions of them were sold.‎ Webster was interested in changing the spellings of words. He wanted words to be spelled the way they were pronounced. For example, he thought the word “head” should be spelled “hed”, and the word “laugh” should be spelled “laf”. People liked Webster's suggestions.‎ However, few words were actually changed. One group of words that were changed were words in which an unpronounced “u” followed an “o”. That is why Americans write “color” and “labor”, and the British write “colour” and “labour”.‎ With the money he made from his books, Webster was able to start on his great work. It was the first American English dictionary, published in 1828. Webster's dictionary had over 70,000 words and gave the meaning and origin（起源）of each. To this day, Webster's work is the example that most dictionaries of American English follow.‎ ‎28. Which of the following statements is TRUE?‎ A.

A Make-A-Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world.
