Answer 2

1)Blue
Why? Melanin, the brown pigment molecule that colors your skin, hair, and eyes, hasn't been deposited in the irises of your eyes. The iris is the colored part of the eye that controls the amount of light that is allowed to enter. Some other animals are born with blue eyes, too, such as kittens.

2)Christiaan Barnard, December 3, 1967

On December 3, 1967, South African surgeon Christiaan Barnard conducted the first heart transplant on 53-year-old Lewis Washkansky. The surgery was a success. However, the medications that were given to Washkansky to prevent his immune system from attacking the new heart also supressed his body's ability to fight off other illnesses. Eighteen days after the operation, Washkansky died of double pneumonia.

3)New Israeli Shekel

The Israeli currency is the New Israeli Shekel (NIS or ILS). Hotels and other organizations that deal with tourists often set their prices in US dollars. The exchange rate is approximately 4.5 shekel to the dollar; the exchange rate to the euro is a bit more variable.

4)Sound of Music

Maria's book, The Story of the Trapp Family Singers, was a best-seller. It was made into two successful German/Austrian films.

Die Trapp-Familie (1956)
Die Trapp-Familie in Amerika (1958).
The book was later adapted into The Sound of Music.

5)Burma,Myanmar
There are certain movies that have made a lasting and profound impact upon the collective film audience. These movies have reshaped the way films are made and how people see them. One such film is the Bridge over the River Kwai. Chosen as number 13 in the AFI’s top 100 American films, Kwai has redefined war films forever. The film takes place in a Japanese prisoner of war camp in Burma.

6)Vipera berus, or adder

Snake bites are uncommon in the UK.
There is only one indigenous poisonous snake, the Vipera berus or "adder", but other species of snakes may be found in private collections or zoos.

Answer 10

1) Most white babies are born with dark blue eyes and their true eye colour -- be it brown, green, hazel or blue -- may not reveal itself for a few months. The colour of your baby's eyes in the first minutes after birth won't last -- exposure to light changes a baby's initial eye colour. Most African and Asian babies usually have dark grey or brown eyes at birth, their dark eyes becoming a true brown or black after the first six months or year. Multiracial children can have a variety of different eye colours. It's even possible for babies to be born with eyes of two different colours, although this is rare.
2) Groote Schuur Hospital (Iin south africa) was placed centre stage in the world's spotlight when Professor Christiaan Barnard performed the first human heart transplant on the third of December 1967. Sadly, Mr Louis Washkansky (the recepient of the heart) only lived for 18 days, succumbing in the end to pneumonia. His new heart beat strongly to the end.
3) New Israeli Sheqel
4) Sound of Music 1965
5) It is set in Burma, but was filmed mostly near Kitulgala, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), with a few scenes shot in England.
6) There is only one indigenous poisonous snake, the Vipera berus or "adder",
