     Remember last year's summer vacation? When you think back on it, you might see flashes of a day you
  spent swimming or a night watching stars. But how do you store these images (圖像), so you can enjoy
 them later? By using your memory.
     When something happens, your brain (腦) decides if the information is important. If it is, your brain
 saves it and puts it in your memory. You have a short-term memory and a long-term memory. You also
 have a memory for images and for sounds.
     What scientists agree about is that people remember things in different ways. Some remember things
 better with the help of pictures. Others remember better when they take in the information by hearing it.
 But if you can use both when you study, you will have an advantage. So why not try pictures with English
 words, and at the same time listen to recordings of the same words? Maybe studying English will no
 longer be such a headache.
     Scientists say that imagination (想象) and association (聯(lián)想) help us remember. Imagination means
 picturing a word in your mind. Association means relating (聯(lián)系) words to things you know.
1. When something happens or you meet someone, your brain first _____.
    A. saves it and puts it in your memory
    B. stores these images for you to enjoy later
    C. decides if the information is important
    D. turns the information into flashes
2. We know from this article that scientists agree that _____.
     A. people have a short-term memory and a long-term memory
     B. people have images for memory and sound
    C. people remember things in the same ways
    D. imagination and association may help people remember
3. The writer suggests that you should look at pictures with English words while _____.
    A. listening to recordings of the same ones
    B. reading the same words aloud
    C. writing the same words quickly
    D. using your imagination widely

　　Dreams can happen in any of the four stages of sleep．The most memorable and clearest dreams happen in the last stage of sleep(also known as REM sleep)．The sleep cycle repeats about four to five times every night．So you can see how a person has several different dreams in one night．Most people only remember dreams that happen closer to the morning when they are about to wake up．That you can’t remember those dreams does not mean they never happened．

　　The stages in the sleep cycle are organized by the changes in different brain activities．

　　Stage 1：You are entering into light sleep．In this stage, your eyes move rapidly．We call this NREM．The body gets relaxed and your body temperature lowers．Your heart rate lowers, too．The body is preparing to enter into deep sleep．

     Do you remember your dreams? Do people have the same dream? Why do we dream? There are many
questions about dreams. We dream during the REM (rapid eye movement 眼球快速移動(dòng)) stage of sleep. We
have about five periods of REM sleep during the night. The first REM cycle (周期) lasts about 10 minutes.
As the night goes on, the REM cycle gets longer. By early morning, the REM cycle can last up to 90 minutes.
Usually it is in this last REM cycle that we remember our dreams.
     Dreams change as people age. People may have several dreams each night. Some are like films and usually
in color. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something
and trying to find the answer. Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can't
remember the dreams clearly. 
     It is reported that too much dreaming is bad for our health. The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The
mind is hard at work. That is why we may have a long sleep and feel tired when we wake up.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容判斷下列句子正（T）、誤（F）。
(     )1. We dream during the REM stage of sleep.
(     )2. Children aged eight or nine have the same dreams as people aged thirty.
(     )3. All the dreams are usually in color like films.
(     )4. The longer we dream, the better we sleep.
(     )5. Too much dreaming is bad for our health.

      Going to sleep may seem pretty boring compared with all the fun things you do while you are awake.
But there's a lot going on in your mind and body while you are sleeping.
      Sleep, in fact, is as important to your survival as eating and drinking. Sleep improves your mood,
makes you a better athlete, and helps you remember and understand what you learned during the day.
      During sleep, your temperature drops. Your heart beats slowly. A chemical that controls growth,
which is called a hormone (荷爾蒙), moves into your bloodstream. Scientists think that sleep brings back
energy and improves your immune (免疫) system. We know what happens while we're asleep because
scientists study volunteers who sleep in laboratories. The sleepers are connected with machines that
measure brain waves, eye movements and muscle activities.
      Sleep is like a school day: it's divided into different stages (階段). When you are awake, your brain
waves fire rapidly (迅速地). As you begin to relax and drift into the first stage of sleep, your brain produces
slower-moving waves and you lose awareness (意識(shí)) of your surroundings. As you fall into deeper sleep,
your body repairs itself from the normal wear and tear of daily life. Then, as you begin to drift back up to
a lighter sleep, your mind becomes more alert (警覺(jué)的), and your dreams begin. You are in REM sleep.
      REM is the name for the rapid eye movement that happens while you are dreaming. During REM sleep,
your eyes move back and forth behind your lids, as though you were watching a movie. During other
stages, you might move in bed, but during REM sleep you're not making any movement. That's probably
because if you could move, your body would act out your dreams. As you get close to morning, you
spend more time in REM than in deep sleep, so you dream more. Researchers know that during REM sleep
the part of the brain that deals with learning and thinking is very active.
     Getting too little sleep can affect your personality. Experts recommend that children get at least nine
hours'sleep a night.
1. Sleep has many advantages except _______.
[     ]
A. improving your mood
B. making you strong
C. helping you study
D. practising your eyes
2. During your sleep, _______.
    ① your body repairs itself from the normal wear and tear of daily life
    ② your brain produces slower-moving waves
    ③ your dream begins
    ④ you lose awareness of surroundings Choose the right order:
A. ①③②④
B. ②④①③
C. ④①③②
D. ④③①②
3. Suppose this is the course of your sleep, in which part of the course do you have more dreams?
[     ]
A. Light sleep.
B. Deep sleep.
C. REM sleep.
D. The first two stages of sleep.
4. Which of the following is NOT right?
[     ]
A. During REM sleep, the whole brain is active.
B. You don't move while you are in REM sleep, dreaming.
C. The closer to morning, the more dreams you have.
D. Hormone has something to do with your growth.

     Do you know why you sleep? You may think it's because you're tired. Or perhaps you've been told sleep
is good for you. Yet no one knows exactly why or how people sleep.
      Until the early 1950s, most scientists thought the body and brain rested during sleep. Then a scientist
watched people sleep. He noticed that during periods of between 5 and 30 minutes, sleepers' eyes made
rapid movements, as if they were watching something. He called these periods REM (Rapid Eye Movement)
sleep. He called periods when sleeper's eyes did not move non-REM sleep.
     Whenever the scientist woke people during REM sleep, they were having vivid dreams. Measurements
showed that sleepers' pulses (脈搏) went up quickly during REM sleep. Their breathing, heartbeat, and the
blood going to the brain also increased. Far from being a time of rest, sleep is a time when the body is hard
at work. Scientists still don't know the reason for this. Some believe REM sleep makes learning easier.
Babies spend a lot of time on REM sleep. Because of this, some scientists believe that REM sleep helps
the brain grow. Others think REM sleep is a time for the brain to empty the day's garbage.
      One thing all the scientists agree on is that sleep is necessary. Without enough sleep, people make
mistakes. Most car accidents happen during the early morning hours, when people are sleepiest.
1. During REM sleep, a person's breathing and heartbeat ______.
A. stop
B. sleep
C. increase
D. stay the same

A. Paragraph 1
B. Paragraph 2
C. Paragraph 3
D. Paragraph 4
4. The main idea of this passage is ______.
A. that REM sleep can help the brain grow
B. about the scientific research of REM sleep
C. about how to empty the day's garbage
D. that our body is good at work when sleeping
5. We can know from the passage that _______.
A. enough sleep is very important to people
B. young people can experience REM sleep
C. the speed of sleepers' pulses will slow down during the REM sleep
D. all scientists have the same opinion on REM sleep
