The following is what happens if you’re the next to be killed. First, your brain sends a series of messages to your sweat glands telling them to increase sweat production. Then your heart starts beating faster to pump blood to the skin while blood flow is directed away from important organs(器官) like your liver, kidneys and gut. ____37____ If heat stroke occurs, your body might get hot and direct so much oxygen-rich blood to the skin that it suffocates(把…闷死) vital internal organs. If your body fails to cool you down, its internal temperature might start to climb from a normal level to about 104 degrees. ____38____ You may feel it start as a dull headache. Before long, you might lose consciousness. Your brain might begin to swell. While you struggle to stay awake and avoid dizzying confusion, the excessive internal heat is damaging your gut, consequently causing an inflammatory(发炎的) response. ____39____ That’s just part of what we know about how extreme heat kills you. ____40____ A lot of what we know comes from studies on animal models, like mice and rats, or from examinations of people dying of heat stroke. A．As the heat rises quickly, so does the death number. B．That’s because we can’t study it in humans in the laboratory. C．As temperatures tick ever higher, that figure may well rise. D．At that temperature, your brain becomes affected. E．Surviving the organ failure might require an emergency transplant. F．Sometimes that alone is enough to create problems for a weak or aging heart. G．Left untreated, what follows is a flood of organ failure that leads to your death.
