A team of scientists set out 2____(measure) the brainwaves of an 87-year-old patient 3_____ had developed epilepsy(突发心脏病). But during the neurological recording, he suffered a fatal heart attack – offering an 4____(expected) recording of a 5____(die) brain.
It revealed that in the 30 seconds before and after, the man's brainwaves followed the same patterns as dreaming or recalling memories.
Brain activity of this sort could suggest that a final "recall of life" may occur in a person's last moments, the team wrote in their study, 6_____(publish) in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience on Tuesday.
Dr Ajmal Zemmar, a co-author of the study, said that 7_____the team, then based in Vancouver, Canada, accidentally got, was the first-ever recording of a dying brain.
So will we get a glimpse back at time with loved ones and other happy memories Dr Zemmar said it was impossible to tell.
"If I 8____(be) to jump to the philosophical realm(角度), I would speculate that if the brain did a flashback, it would probably like to remind you of good things, rather 9____ the bad things," he said.
"But what's memorable would be different for every person."
Dr Zemmar, now a neurosurgeon at the University of Louisville, said in the 30 seconds before the patient's heart stopped supplying blood to the brain, his brainwaves followed the same patterns as when we carry out high-cognitive demanding tasks, like concentrating, dreaming or recalling memories. It continued 30 seconds after the patient's heart stopped 10_____(beat).
"I think there's something mystical and spiritual about this whole near-death experience," Dr Zemmar said. "And findings like this - it's a moment that scientists lives for."
2 别再把手机电量一次性充满了!这样做才能延长手机电池寿命Stop charging your phone to 100% once a day and other battery-saving tips
DON’T: Burn out your battery
You might be abusing (伤害)your battery, 1_____(especial) if you have a habit of leaving the screen on, shutting down apps or tossing it in your bag on a particularly frigid(寒冷的) morning.
Smartphones 2_____(design) to keep apps open in the background. Forcibly (强行地)closing them may satisfy that little part of your brain that wants 3_____(keep) things neat and tidy, but because it takes more juice to start an app fresh than to wake 4_____up, you're beating up on your battery every time you do it.

DO: Charge early and often
Petri Hayrynen, senior product marketing manager of Global Smart Devices at HMD Global, said that charging your phone to 100% may seem like a good idea, but if you’re using a high-voltage charger(高压充电器), it can put a strain on your battery. Instead, he said to pull the plug at 80%-90% for optimal (最优的)7____(use).
“Old nickel-based batteries had a memory effect, 8_____ meant that if you didn’t charge them from 1-100%, they started to ‘forget’ their maximum capacity. As for the modern-day lithium batteries(锂电池), the most stress is put on the battery 9_____charging or discharging them fully; both reduce the charging cycles and overall battery life cycle,” Hayrynen said.
Hayrynen explained that people should do “more fast top-ups during the day,” versus charging smartphones overnight.
Try to keep the battery above 30% or so, letting it discharge occasionally to calibrate (校准)the sensors, and you'll keep your battery healthier longer. To get the absolute 10____(fast) charge, toggle on Airplane Mode after plugging it in.
3 “烘焙使人快乐”,原来是有科学依据的
The Reason Why Baking Makes You Feel Good, According to Psychologists

Baking is very good for focusing the mind because it often relies on very exact measurements. You have 4____(add) ingredients in the correct order or your profiteroles(泡芙) won't rise, or your cookies will be soggy(变软).
