Many of us have had this experience: we lie down in a bed other than our own,

perhaps at a friend's house or in a hotel room, and find it difficult to fall asleep.

Why does it happen?

A new study shows one reason is what the scientists call “first night effect”

They believe that one side of the brain acts as a“night watch ”to warn us

about possible dangers, It prevents us from getting to sleep on the first night in a new environment.

For the study, 35 young volunteers were asked to sleep in a sleep lab for several days as researchers

watched their brain activities.

According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brain was more active than the right brain and

people had a hard time sleeping. However, the left brain activity decreased(降低) as days went by, falling even to the point of complete calm. In this process, the volunteers got better and better sleep experience.

The findings show that the different rhythms(节奏) of the sides of the brain affect our sleep.When the two sides work differently, the balance between them is broken. So the brain cant relax and is sensitive(敏感的) to anything strange around.

“At some level, the brain is continuing to work, even though you don't realize it, ”US professor Jerome Siegel told Smithsonian Magazine.“If something unusual happens, you can be alert(警惕的)”

More surprisingly, this is like the way some animals sleep. Whales, dolphins, and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other half stays awake, with one eye staying open.

The researchers think that it is the result of evolution(进化) and works to protect us in possibly dangerous environments.

If you have ever had first night effect, researchers advise you to bring your own pillow or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.

答案：

36. difficulty/trouble 37 improves 38. breaks 39 caused 40. suggestions/advice

There is a clear difference between art and literature. Works of art and written pieces of literature are very different in how they connect to audience(观众). Pictures are received

information, while writing is perceived(察觉到) information. This means that art directly delivers(传递) one idea to an audience, while writing can have many different explanations by an audience from many angles(角度). Many messages can be created and supported with texts by different readers from pieces of writing.

Pictures are simply black and white, delivering one single message or thought to someone looking at it. A person’s level of education does not have an effect on what they receive from looking at a picture. This is because art appeals to(吸引) the human sense of sight which all lucky humans are naturally born with. There is almost no chance to search for any other meanings just through looking at a picture repeatedly. There is only one line between a picture and the audience; therefore, art is received information.

On the other hand, writing is much deeper than just the words on a page. If two people of different education levels were to read the same piece of writing, they would have different opinions on what the piece meant because writing allows interpretation(阐释). Writers are often trying to tell a story to the audience when they write. Stories are often told through writhing while sending messages that teach lessons.

Literature contains perception(观念) which allows the audience to develop different understanding; however, a picture simply is what it is. Art is straightforward, while writings allow for free interpretation. Audiences can create their own ideas and opinions from literature, but everyone receives the same idea from a piece of art.

Title: 36 between art and literature

Art * Art delivers single message or thought to an audience directly. * People’s level o f education does not 37 what they receive. * Art appeals to humans’ sense of sight.

* It is 38 to search for other meanings by looking repeatedly. * There is only one line between a picture and the audience.

Literature * Writing can be 39 by an audience in many ways.

* Different education levels do let people 40 the same writing differently. * Writings allow for free interpretation.

Conclusion Art is received information, while writing is perceived information.

答案：

Differences; influence / affect; impossible; explained; understand

I would like to talk to you about space vegetables and to show you that space vegetables are healthy and good for you.

Space vegetables are grown from seeds (种子) that have been taken to and brought back from outer

space. The seeds are influenced by radiation and low gravity in outer space. When they are brought back to

the Earth, these seeds produce vegetables that are bigger, healthier and more nutritious than normal(常见的)vegetables. However, some people worry about eating space vegetables. They think that space vegetables might not be good for us and could bring us cancer as a result of their exposure(暴露)to radiation in space.People should not be afraid, as space vegetables are perfectly healthy in fact.

Here are some facts that you should know about space vegetables.

Space vegetables are grown from seeds that are carefully chosen. When seeds are brought back from

space, people test the seeds to make sure that the vegetables they grow will be safe to eat. There are no traces(痕迹) of radiation after testing.

Space vegetables are better for you than normal vegetables. For example, space tomatoes stay fresh for

twenty days, which is one week longer than normal tomatoes. Another popular space vegetable is the pepper.Space peppers contain 20 per cent more Vitamin C than normal peppers.

After genetically modified(基因改进的) foods come onto the market，people worry that they are

eating unknown things. For example, if nut genes are put inside potatoes, people allergic(对…过敏)to nuts might get very sick from eating these potatoes because they do not know they are also eating nuts. Unlike genetically modified foods, space vegetables have not been genetically changed. This means that no new genes are put into the vegetables. Therefore, they won’t be bad for your health.

答案：

36. Steps/Actions 37. tested 38. lead 39 . Advantages 40. because

Literature（文学）is a word used to describe written as well as spoken material.Generally speaking, it is often used to describe anything from creative imagination,including works of poetry （诗）, drama and novel.

Then why read literature,since it is often imaginary and seems unconnected with real life？

A lot of us read literature for enjoyment and relaxation.It's always pleasant to read some interesting books in our spare time.In a modern life full of stress, it is our common wish to read some imaginary works and look for relaxation from the stress in life.

Reading literature is more than fun;it also allows us to get knowledge.As a general

rule,literature represents a language of a people,and it often gives us an insight（洞察力）into the traditions, attitudes and values of the age in which it was written.

Sometimes literature can even offer us new,creative ways to have a better understanding of the world.It introduces us to new worlds of experiences.We enjoy the comedy and the tragedy（悲剧）of poems, stories and plays;and we may even grow through our literary journey with books.At last we may discover meaning in literature by looking at what the writer says and how he or she says it.In some ways,we explore the human condition and analyze（分析）the way they think and feel the way they feel.Literature helps us think clearly and encourages us to open minds.

So we can certainly say literature is very important to us.Why not get going with one poem, drama or fiction at once？
