Actually, scientists are looking for ways to let humans sleep through the winter, too! That is hibernation(冬眠). During hibernation, an animal's heart rate (心率)and breathing slow down. They can save energy when there's little food in the winter months. Japanese, researchers have found the secret behind hibernation —the “Q neurons《神经元)". These neurons in animals' brains can put them into a hibernation state. The researchers also did surgeries(手术)after turning on the mice's "Q neurons". It turned out that the surgeries caused less damage to the mice's. body during their hibernation. According to the team, humans' "Q neurons" cannot be turned on and off as easily as the mice's. But they are sure that they would be able to copy the mice's hibernation in humans. That means if we let people in surgery "hibernate", it can cause less damage to their bodies. In recent years, more scientists are waking up to the advantages of hibernation. For example, US scientist Katherine Grabek found that when the thirteen-lined ground squirrel (多纹黄鼠)hibernates, it deans out harmful brain plaques (斑 块 ) that are related to Alzheimer's (阿尔茨海默症)in humans. They hope to design-drugs for humans based on this finding. Some studies in bats and marmots (土拨鼠)showed that, during hibernation, their bodies age more slowly. This also provides new ideas for making humans live longer in the future, according to New Scientist magazine. 66、67题完成句子；68～70题简略回答问题, 66.
