It is Ufueled/U by thermonuclear reactions near its center that conve
30、rt hydrogen to helium. The sun has existed in its present state for about 4 billion, 600 million years and is thousands of times larger than the Earth.By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what the rest of the suns life will be like. About 5 billion years from now, the core of the sun wil
31、l shrink and become hotter. The surface temperature will fail. The higher temperature of the center will increase the rate of thermonuclear reactions. The outer regions of the sun will expand approximately 35 million miles, about the distance to mercury, which is the closest planet to the sun. The s
32、un will then be a red giant star. Temperatures on the earth will become too hot for life to exist.Once the sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shrink. After it shrinks to the size of the earth, it will become a white dwarf star. The sun may Uthrow off/U huge amo

Such a star is called a black dwarf. After the Sun has become a black dwarf, the ear

Objective.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.Scientists studying the activity of the living brain with widely used new imaging techniques have been missing some of the earliest steps in brain
42、activity because those changes are subtle and are masked by reactions that happen seconds later, Israeli scientists say.The imaging techniques positron emission tomography scanning and magnetic resonance imaging, known as PET and functional M. R. I. scans are used prominently in studies of brain act
43、ivity. The most active brain areas appear to light up on the scans as specific tasks are performed. The two techniques do not measure nerve-cell activity directly; they measure the extra flow of blood that surges to the most active brain areas.Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Reho
44、vot, Israel, have monitored these changes in blood flow in anesthetized cats by removing parts of the skull and observing how the nerve cells in activated regions fuel their activities by rapidly removing oxygen from nearby red blood cells.This rapid uptake of oxygen, made evident by visible changes
45、 in the color of the red cells, proves that early oxygen transfer gives these neurons the energy to do their work, the researchers said.They also found that subtle changes in blood flow began significantly earlier than was detected by PET and functional M. R. I. scans, which lack sufficient Uresolut
46、ion/U and do not form their images quickly enough to follow such rapid changes. Dr. Amiram Grinvald published the findings in the Journal Science.“The initial event is very localized and will be missed if you dont look for it soon enough and use the highest possible resolution,“ Dr. Grinvald said. “
47、Now people are beginning to use our results with other imaging methods.“Working on the exposed brain lets researchers follow electrical activity and the accompanying blood flow in greater detail than is possible by using indirect imaging methods that track neural activity through the skull. However,
48、 opportunities for open-skull studies of humans are limited to some kinds of neurosurgery, and researchers must mostly rely on PET and functional M. R. I. images for studies linking behavior with specific brain activity.By directly observing exposed cat brains and in similar work with a few human cases, Dr. Grinvald and his associates have been able to observe the first evidence of electrical activity and other changes in brain cells after a light has been seen or a li
