14、n records of Chinese culture and history are known as oracle bone inscriptions (甲骨文). More than 3,000 years ago, people in the Shang Dynasty（c. 16th11th century BC）liked to ask fortune tellers (占卜师 ) about the future. For example, what will the weather be like next week? Where should I go to make mo
15、ney? Will my wife give birth to a boy or a girl? From work to love, people asked questions about many topics. The fortune teller would write the question on an oracle bone, heat it up, and then read the cracks (裂纹) in it to find an answer. Thats how oracle bone inscriptions started. Tens of thousand
16、s of oracle bones have been found so far. They can tell us a great deal about how people lived during the Shang Dynasty. “They help us understand the origins of Chinese philosophy and thought, and find out where our culture comes from,” Song Zhenhao, a leading oracle bone expert, told China Daily. I
17、n addition to telling us about ancient Chinese culture, the oracle bones are also key to understanding the growth and development of the written form of the Chinese language. Many of the characters we use today are similar to those used 3,000 years ago. “The oracle bone inscriptions, as the earliest
18、-known mature (成熟的）form of Chinese characters, show the beauty of a language that has been passed down years after years,” said Chen Nan, a professor at Tsinghua University.

21、the Shang DynastyD. are totally different from the characters todayCAs the days are getting colder, you might wish you could magically turn into a bear and spend the winter sleeping. In fact, scientists are looking for ways to let humans hibernate, too! During hibernation, an animals heart rate and
22、breathing slow down. They can save energy when there is little food in the winter months. Japanese researchers have found the secret behind hibernationthe “Q neurons”. These neurons in animals brains can put them into a hibernation state. The researchers also did operations on mice after turning on
23、the mices “Q neurons”. It turned out that during hibernation, the operations do less harm to the mice. According to the team, humans “O neurons”cannot be turned on and off as easily as the mices. But they are confident in copying the mices hibernation in humans. That means we could let people “hiber
24、nate”when having operations, causing less damage to their bodies. In recent years, more scientists are getting to realize the benefits of hibernation. US scientist Katherine Grabek found that when the thirteen-lined ground squirrel hibernates, it cleans out harmful brain plaques that are related to
25、Alzheimers in humans. They hope to design some medicine for humans based on this finding. Besides, some studies in bats show 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. At the s
26、ame time, scientists have found a lot of fun facts on animals. For example, a bats heart rate drops to 25 beats per minute during hibernationdown from 400 when its awake. Its breathing slows so much that it might not take a breath for up to an hour! Also, a black bear can go without eating, drinking
