24、   If you have ever talked about your dreams with your friends, you will find some of your friends don’t remember their dreams, while others can tell their dreams very clearly. Why do people remember dreams differently? The answer is simple: they are two different types of dreamers -low-recall dreamers and high-recall dreamers.

High-recall dreamers reported they remembered their dreams almost every day while low-recall dreams said they only remembered their dreams once or twice a month. Perrine Ruby, a lead scientist at the research center in Lyon, studied 41 people(21 high-recall dreamers and 20 low-recall dreamers)and recorded their more active in high-recall dreamers .This was true both when they were sleeping and awake .This area of the brain is to collect information from the outside world. This means that high-recall dreamers are more sensitive to what is happening around them. For example, when they are awake, they respond(作出反应)more strongly to bearing their own names. When they are sleeping, they can be woken up more easily by sounds and movements

This is not hard to understand. Just try to think of your own sleeping experience. If you’re worried during the night, you are easy to remember your dreams, but if you sleep well, you remember very little in the morning This is because "you never get a chance to remember”

As another research project at the University of Turku in Finland showed, what you dream can also affect our memory. Negative(消极的) dreams are more likely to be recalled than ordinary dreams. Nightmares(噩梦)are often recalled because they are negative, and such dreams cause fear.

【1】What can we know about high-recall dreamers？

A.they have very little brain activity when they sleep

B.They can remember their dreams clearly

C.They don't know how to describe their dreams

D.They remember their dreams twice a week

【2】Compared to high-recall dreamers, low-recall dreamers_______.

A.have better sleep

B.have more sleepless nights

C.are more easily woken at night

D.respond faster when hearing their names

【3】What's the meaning of the underlined word “sensitive"?

A.敏感的 B.迟钝的 C.严重的 D.便利的

【4】What did the research project in Finland find?

A.Ordinary dreams can help our brain rest.

B.Ordinary dreams cause fear.

C.Nightmares often happen when we don’t sleep well.

D.Negative dreams are easier to remember.

【5】What's the main idea of the article?

A.The way how our brain affect our dream.

B.The reason why people remember dreams differently.

C.A study about the high-recall dreamers.

D.The way how we can be a low-recall dreamer.

25、Are you angry by the noise of your alarm clock every morning? Still feel sleepy after getting up? Now, you can say goodbye to that annoying alarm clock; you needn’t hear its unpleasant noise every morning.

The Glo Pillow(发光枕) can wake you up with soft LED lights. The lights produce the brightness over 40 minutes just like the sunrise.

The pillow is taking the place of the traditional alarm clock. It was designed(设计) by Eoin McNally and lan Walton to be against the pressures of a “24 hour” lifestyle.

The pillow uses a kind of LED material below the surface. It wakes the user up with light. The material can also show the time on the pillow’s surface, and it is perfect for those who sleep with their heads completely buried(埋) face down into the pillow. 40 minutes before the preset(预设) alarm time, the pillow begins to glow and gently brings the user out of sleep. The natural waking process helps to set “body clock” and makes people build a healthy sleep-and-wake habit slowly.

【1】The pillow wakes people up with ________

A．smell

B．sound

C．light

D．touch

【2】The waking process is helpful to ________.

A．be against the pressures

B．bury their faces

C．build a healthy habit fast

D．set “body clock”

26、Dear Joe,

I wrote you the letter to tell you about what the world used to be like when I was young. Life used to be very different then. We didn’t have cell phones when we wanted to talk to our friends. We didn’t have e-mails either, so we had to write letters.

When we traveled from town to town, we used to walk or ride horses or take a cart(马车). Later we had buses and very few people had cars. Air travel was a luxury and we used to dream of riding on an airplane but now everyone does. It’s so common.

Food is another big difference. There weren’t any supermarkets so we used to grow our own food. We would exchange some with people from other towns to buy the things we didn’t have. We didn’t have a refrigerator (冰箱) so we kept things cool in a special room downstairs.

But the biggest difference is electricity. We didn’t have any in our town! At night, we used to light candles when we wanted light and we burned coal (煤) or wood to keep warm. We didn’t have television. In summer, we used to go swimming in the river.

Life used to be very different, but we were happy.

Love,

Grandpa
