I need help with this

Hello,

I didn't understand it.. Can a person control the rate of their heart? Explain what the author meant please.





B- The brain speaks: "My mission, as a brain, is to keep myself alive with as much pleasure and avoidance of pain as possible. As far as connecting on an emotional level with caring and love, that is my only secondary function with the heart's effort to influence me."



Could you please paraphrase it so that I can understand it?





C- Some argue that the separation of "churchstate" mania among an alarmed few has pulled the heart and love out of the secular world altogether.



You've explained this to me before and I'm so thankful for that, but I need to know who the alarmed few are, please.



E- Indeed, the separation of church state mania has pulled the heart and love out of the secular domain. Recently in a conference, a school administrator said: "Yes, those are the feely-touchy things that get in the way of the bottom line results of learning."

assessing achievement!



Please paraphrase it, I got the meaning but it's hard to translate this way:(

I didn't understand the idea of following them at middle age. What does he mean?



I- This created a jealous rage, and to prove his devotion, the boy and his jealous girlfriend led the other girl out into an unsuspecting car ride and killed her.



How did they kill her? What does in red that mean?
