In our life,there are two different types of dreamers,一low-recall dreamers and high-recall dreamers.According to researchers at the Lyon Nero-science Research Center in France,high-recall dreamers reported they remembered their dreams almost every day while low-recall dreamers said they only remembered their dreams once or twice a month,reported Live Science.
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 brain activity.She found that a part of the brain called the temporo-parietal junction(顳頂葉交界處)was more active in high-recall dreamers.This was true both when they were sleeping and awake.This area of the brain is responsible for collecting and processing 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 more strongly to hearing their own names.When they are sleeping,they tend to be woken up more easily by sounds and movements.
By closely studying people's brain activity,Ruby found that high-recall dreamers have twice as much "wakefulness time" during sleep as low-recall dreamers do.And it is during these short periods of wakefulness that the brain memorizes dreams.
This is not hard to understand.Just try to think of your own sleeping experience.If you are restless during the night,you are more likely to remember your dreams,but if you sleep well and soundly,you tend to remember very little in the morning.This is because "you never get a chance to remember",Robert Stickgold,a Harvard Medical School researcher,told The Washington Post.
As another research project at the University of Turku in Finland showed,dream content can also affect our memory.Negative dreams are easier to recall than ordinary dreams.Nightmares are often recalled because they are emotionally negative,and such dreams cause fear.

A.They have very little brain activity when they sleep.

C.They are more easily woken at night.
D.They respond faster when hearing their names.
(3)What is the main purpose of the second to last paragraph?AA
A.To explain Ruby's findings.
B.To attract readers,interest in future studies.
C.To show the advantages of being a low-recall dreamer.
D.To suggest what to do to become a low-recall dreamer.
(4)What did the research project in Finland find?DD
A.Ordinary dreams can help our brain rest.
B.Dreams are often affected by our emotions.

1.For several days Ⅰ(Jane Eyre) saw little of Mr.Rochester.One evening,I was invited to talk to him after dinner.There was a smile on his lips,and his eyes were shining brightly.As I was looking at him,he suddenly turned around and asked me, "Do you think I'm handsome,Miss Eyre?"
The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: "No,sir."
"Ah,you are really unusual!You look like a quiet,serious little person,but you can be almost rude."
"Sir,I'm sorry.I shouldn't have given an immediate answer to such a question about appearances;I should have said that beauty doesn't matter,or something like that."
"No,you shouldn't!I see,you criticize my appearance,and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear!You have honesty and feeling.There are not many girls like you.Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance(抵消) your few good points."
I thought to myself that he might have too.He seemed to read my mind,and said quickly, "Yes,you're right.I have plenty of faults.I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one,and have never found the right path again.I might have been as good as you,and perhaps wiser.I am not a bad man,take my word for it,but I have done wrong.It wasn't my character,but circumstances that were to blame.Why do I tell you all this?Because you're the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to,because you're sympathetic and you give them hope."
"Don't be afraid of me,Miss Eyre," he continued." You don't relax or laugh very much,perhaps because of the effect Lowood has had on you.But in time you will be more natural when you're with me,and laugh,and speak freely.You're like a bird in a cage.When you get out of the cage,you'll fly very high.Good night."
(1)Why did Mr.Rochester say "and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear" in paragraph 5?
A.Because Jane had offered some unnecessary explanations.
B.Because Jane had intended to be more critical.
C.Because Jane had regretted having talked to him.
D.Because Jane had intended to kill him with a knife.
(2)From what Mr.Rochester told Miss Eyre,we can conclude that he wanted to
A.tell her all his troubles
B.tell her his life experience
C.change her opinion of him
D.change his circumstances
(3)Mr.Rochester sounded
A.rude
B.cold
C.friendly

3.To me,life without music would not be exciting.I realize that this is not true for everybody.Many people get along quite well without going to the concert,and listening to the record.But music plays an important part in everyone's life,whether he realizes it or not.Try to imagine,for example,what films or TV plays would be like without music.Would the feelings,the moving plot,and the greatest interests,be so exciting or dramatic?I'm not sure about it.
Now,we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning----the kind of music we hear in the concert hall.But if we look at some parts of music more closely,we discover them in our everyday life too----in the rhythm of the sea,the melody of a bird in the woods and so on.So music surely has meaning for everyone,in some way or other.And,of course,it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.
It is well said, "Through music a child enters into a world of beauty,expresses himself from his heart,feels the joy of doing things alone,learns to take care of others,develops his mind and makes his body strong."
(1)What does the writer say more about in the text?
A.Life full of music.
B.The importance of music.
C.Life without music.
D.The development of music.
(2)From the text,we learn that many people
A.go to the concert instead of enjoying music
B.get along quite well without music
C.don't realize the importance of music
D.think music would be less exciting than films
(3)What does the underlined word "melody" mean in the text?
A.flying
B.living
C.looking
D.singing
(4)From the last paragraph,we learn that music
A.is very necessary for our everyday life
B.is very important,especially for children
C.can make our life exciting and dramatic
D.can enter another beautiful world發(fā)布:2025/1/1 18:0:1組卷:6引用:3難度:0.6
