do our brains turn off for the night? what if i tell you that researchers recently have discovered that our brains may be just as busy at night as they are during the day? while we sleep, our brains are doing much more than getting ready for the next day. they are busy cleaning out the harmful waste materials. as with many studies, the researchers turned to mice for help. they studied mice that had colored dye (有色染体) injected (注射) into their brains. they observed the mice brains as they slept and when they were awake and found that the brains of sleeping mice worked hard to clean out the colored dye. the brain experts say our brains do two very different jobs. it seems they have daytime jobs and nighttime jobs.when we are awake, the brain cells are working very hard at dealing with all the information about our environment. when we are asleep, they work very hard at removing the waste that builds up when we are awake. the waste material includes poisons that can lead to brain disorders such as alzheimers disease. they also found that the brain cells become smaller during sleep. this permits waste to be removed more effectively. the waste will end up in the liver(肝脏). there，they are broken down and then removed from the body. the study suggests that we need to sleep because we have a cleaning system that removes the waste from the brain. the research shows sleep is important to health and fighting disease. the brains cleaning system could only be studied with new imaging technologies. the test animal must be alive for this brain process that can be seen only when it happens. 12.what will our brains do at night?a. they begin to work very slowly.b. they have a dream for the whole night.c. they continue to work busily.d. they are tired and just have good a good rest.13.how did the researchers carry out the research?
