15、ied to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue(疲勞)To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all!

23、s Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying (聯(lián)合) voice across cultures.
