Yet medical settings made me very nervous. ”This wasnt a problem unt

18、il ten years ago when Tom developed an umbilical hernia（脐疝）. His doctor told him although not considered serious, if left untreated, a hernia can cause bad results. However. Toms situation created problems. “When I had my blood pressure taken in hospital, the doctor told me that I wouldnt be able to

21、 “You cant send a patient away with medicine because once they get home and take it, their blood pressure is going to fall through the floor. ” The good news is that many people do gain control over the syndrome; knowledge can make a difference. “For some people, if they know they have it, they do s

25、 mean? Is there really no limit to the number of faces a person can remember?A new study has found that, on average, people can remember as many as 5,000 faces. That number comes from a group of researchers at the University of York in England, There have been many studies recently on facial recogni

26、tion. But the authors of this study say theirs is the first time that scientists have been able to put a number to the abilities of humans to recognize faces.During the study, people spent one hour writing down as many faces from their personal lives as possible, Then, they wrote down famous faces t

27、hey know, such as actors, politicians and other public people. The results showed that the participants knew between 1,000 and 10,000 faces, which is very shocking to the researchers. Rob Jenkins, coauthor of the study, said one explanation about it may be that some people have a natural ability for

28、 remembering faces. He also said it could be because of different social environments. Some people may have grown up in more populated places.

30、 interesting to see whether there is a peak age for the number of faces we know”, Jenkins said it is possible that we gather more faces throughout our lifetime. But, he added, there also may be an age at which we start to find it harder to remember all of those faces.12How is the study different fro
