Peter Skyllberg, a Swedish man, was trapped in his car for two months, with temperatures reaching — 30°C, with no food or water, and yet he survived. The best explanation was that his vehicle created an “igloo (snow house) effect" and kept him from the extremely low temperatures and that his body would hibernate(冬眠)during this time.
Can humans get into a low-energy consumption state like a bear by reserving energy, and reducing body temperature? Chinese scientists are looking for the key to regulating body temperature.
Scientists have found the hypothalamus(下丘脑)，an area in the central lower part of the brain, is responsible for regulating body temperature. Wang Hong, a brain scientist at the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) , led her team to mark the neurons (神经元)responsible for regulating body temperature in mice by means of a cutting-edge genetic biology technique. In the experiments, they injected drugs into mice to make the body temperature of the mice drop from 37°C to 27°C in two hours. The team found the change in body temperature caused no harm to the health of the mice. “We don't know if we can develop a drug that can control human body temperature. We still need a lot of study," Wang said.
Chinese scientists are not alone in such research. Body-cooling techniques are being used in pioneering hospitals around the world. Dutch doctors are now using low temperatures for patients who have suffered brain injuries in accidents. According to doctors working in Florence, it may even help to save the brains of babies who are born suffering from severe epileptic fits（癫痫病发作）.
24. Why did Peter Skyllberg survive?
A. Because the "igloo effect" created by his car protected him.
B. Because he had already stored enough energy.
C. Because he fell asleep and made an " igloo effect".
D. Because the low temperatures made his body create an “igloo effect".
25. What did Wang Hong's team find in the experiments?
A. Genetic biology technique helped a lot.
B. A drug could control human body temperature.
C. Hypothalamus was responsible for regulating body temperature.
D. The mice's health wasn't damaged by the change of body temperature.
26. How can body-cooling techniques help people?
A. Brain injuries may be treated.
B. Medical accidents may be avoided.
C. People trapped in snow can survive.
D. Patients with epileptic fits will be cured.
27. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. Science fiction.
B. A medical journal.
C. A survival guide.
D. A psychological book.
