28、o claim (索要) the reward. He too had a ball of human hair that he said he had taken from the dead lions stomach. The town did not know which man to pay.

45、ipants showed no increase in activity in the visual cortex. These people didnt do very well at picking out where sounds were coming from.

75、d, such as helping them to go up the escalator. Some people often donate blood to the sick, and some people contribute money in order to help the poor.

When everyone shows his care for others, society will become a really enjoyable place to live in.
