23、hen we sleep, it clears our minds, and when we dont sleep, it leaves our minds murky (昏沉沉的). But when we still havent understood why sleep has this amazing function for the mind.Recently biologists have found that sleep may actually be a kind of design solution to some of the brains most basic needs

24、, the way that brain meets the high demands and the narrow margins (范围) that set it apart from all the other organs (器官) of the body. The brain has a large pool of clean, clear fluid (流体) called cerebrospinal fluid. Biologists call it the CSF. The CSF fills the space that surrounds the brain, and wa

25、stes from inside the brain make their way out to the CSF, which gets the waste into the blood. What was surprising to them was that the fluid on the outside of the brain didnt stay on the outside.

32、ts and ties. Why? The answer is simple.

Most of the time, its not that the room is too hot, but that we are used to it being coole
