Advice to “sleep on it” could be well founded, scientists say. After a
good night’s sleep a problem that couldn’t be solved the night before can
often appear more manageable. Researchers at the University of Leek in
Germany have designed an experiment that shows a good night’s sleep can
improve insight (顿悟) and problem-solving ability.
“If you have some newly-got memories in your brain, sleep acts on
these memories and restructures them, so that after sleep the insight
increases,” said Dry Jan Born, a neuroscientist (神经科学家), at
the university. To test the discovery, they taught volunteers two simple
rules to help them turn a string of numbers into a new order. There was also
a third, hidden rule, which could help them increase their speed in
solving the problem. The researchers divided the volunteers into two
groups: Half were allowed to sleep after the training while the rest were
forced to stay awake. Dry Jan Born and his team noticed that the group that
had slept after the training were twice as likely to figure out the third rule as
the other group. “Sleep helped,” Born said in a telephone interview. “The
important thing is that you have to have a memory description of the problem
you want to solve in your brain and then you sleep, so it can act on the
problem.”
But Born admitted that he and his team don’t know how restructuring of
memories occurs or what controls it. Pierre MapQuest and Perrine Ruby of
the University of Liege in Belgium said the experimental evidence supports
the suggestion that sleep can help develop creative thinking. Although therole of sleep in human creativity will still be a mystery, the research gives
people good reasons to fully respect their periods of sleep, they added.
4. What is the purpose of the experiment?
A. To test problem-solving ability in sleep.
B. To discover peoples insight during sleep.
C. To discuss how to improve sleeping quality.
D. To prove a good sleep helps solve problems.

A. Sleep can help solve problems.
B. People should sleep as long as they want.

D. Scientists know how sleep restructures memories.
7. What can we learn about the experimental evidence?
A. It helps scientists control memories.
B. It explains the role of sleep in human.
C. It tells us the role of sleep is a mystery.
D. It shows sleep does well to creative thinking.

A T-shirt has become one of the most popular items sold by online trader
Amazon in the past few weeks. Sales of the Three Wolf Moon T-shirt shot up
2,300% after an increase of ironic (讽刺性的) comments went up.
The first review gave the shirt five stars, saying “It fits my fat body,
has wolves on it, attracts girls” but “cannot see wolves with arms crossed”.
That caused hundreds of others to post foolish reviews, turning the page
into an Internet attraction.
“When I put this T-shirt on for the first time, my wife left me! Thank
you, Three Wolf Moon T-shirt!” wrote one man, while another said,
“The Three Wolf Moon T-shirt gave me a ten-plus resistance to energy
attacks, eight-plus strength. And I have successfully solved 7 crimes in my
city.”
Amazons senior manager of community content, Russell Dicker, said
the T-shirt was currently the top selling item in their clothing store. “TheThree Wolf Moon T-shirt recently moved up 2,300% in sales rank,” he
said. “We are grateful that our reviewers are so passionate.”
However, the firm which actually made the T-shirt appeared less than
pleased at some of the comments. “The Mountain is a wholesale (批发的)
company and does not sell shirts on Amazon. These comments weren’t
acceptable in some way until the shirt made the Mountain Three Wolf Moon
T-shirt company into the top 10 in the Amazon clothing part,” they said in
a posting on the Amazon site. “We appreciate buyers humor, but we don’t
agree on some of the remarks.”
However, the firms art director Michael McClain said the firm was
actually rather pleased with the publicity. “Well take ironic fashion someday
and were printing another 400,000 more T-shirts, and it’s just a wonderful
thing,” he said.
8. What brought about the increase of the sale of the T-shirt?

A. was to compete with it
B. decided to force it to sell more
C. was not satisfied with it at first
D. thought it should make greater progress
11. What can we infer from the words of Michael McClain?
A. He is proud. B. He is honest.
C. He is hopeful. D. He is hard-working.

Many of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and
stone fruits are in abundance. These colorful and sweet jewels from British
Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.
Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C,
although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein
(蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein).
Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow
and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turninto vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they
are so delicious. Who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.
When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas
make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice
cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are
much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers
and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will
prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks,
depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.
If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some
berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten
right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feeding
the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice
cream come out below.
12. What does the author seem to like about cherries?
A. They contain protein.
B. They have a pleasant taste.
C. They are high in vitamin A.
D. They are rich in antioxidants.
13. Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?
A. To keep their color.
B. To improve their nutrition.
C. To speed up their ripening.
D. To make them smell better.
14. What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?
A. A dessert. B. A drink.
C. A container. D. A machine.
15. From which is the text probably taken?
A. A biology textbook. B. A health magazine.
C. A research paper. D. A travel brochure.

parents? I need to talk to them.” I said in 3 . “They are not 4 and I am
here alone. 5 me whatever you want.” I looked up to find the kid 6
me, as if he was 7 me to ask a question he didn’t have the answer to. I
could see from his expression that he had 8 this conversation before
many times. “What did you have for breakfast?” I asked. When he told me

三、语法填空
If you feel stressed by responsibilities at work, you should take a step
back and identify those of 1 (great) and less importance. Then,
handle the most important tasks first so you’ll feel a real sense of 2
(achieve). Leaving the less important things until tomorrow 3 (be)
often acceptable.
Most of us are more focused 4 our tasks in the morning than we are
later in the day. So, get an early start and try to be as productive 5
possible before lunch. This will give you the 6 (confident) you need to
get you through the afternoon and go home feeling accomplished.
Recent 7 (study) show that we are far more productive at work if we
take short breaks 8 (regular). Give your body and brain a rest by
stepping outside for a while, exercising, or doing something you enjoy.
If you find something you love doing outside of the office, you’ll be less
likely 9 (bring) your work home. It could be anything—gardening,
cooking, music, sports—but 10 it is, make sure it’s a relief from
daily stress rather than another thing to worry about.
