all expressions we use to describe that mysterious state，sleep. we all do it，we cant get by without it and by the time we reach old age，most of us have spent 20 years sleeping. yet，nobody knows why we do itmost scientists think that by resting our bodies，we allow time for essential maintenance（维护）work to be done. any damage that there is can be put right more quickly if energy isnt being used up doing other things. injured animals certainly spend more time asleep than usual while their wounds are healing（愈合）and quite a few illnesses make us feel sleepy so our body can get on with curing ussleep is controlled by certain chemicals. they build up during the day，eventually reaching levels that make us tired. we can control the effects of these chemicals to some extentfor example，caffeine helps to keep us awake while alcohol and some medicines make us sleepy.by using electrodes，scientists are able to study what goes on in peoples heads while they are sleeping. they have discovered that when we first drop off everything slows down. the heart beats more slowly and our breathing becomes shallowafter about 90 minutes our eyes start to twitch and we go into what is called rem sleeprem stands for rapid eye movement，and its a sign that weve started to dream.you have dreams every night，even if you dont remember them. there are all sorts of theories about why we dream. one is that it gives the brain a chance to sort out the days activities，filling everything away in the right place. another is that the brain gets bored while were asleep and organizes its own entertainment-a sort of late-night cinema！a lot of people say they have to have eight hours sleep every night while others seem to manage on a lot less. one thing is for sure，we all need some sleep and going without it can have some very strange effects. an american dj，who stayed awake for 200 hours to raise money for charity，thought things were bursting into flames all around him after 120 hours without sleephe survived the strange horrible period of time but was depressed for three months afterwardshumans are unusual in the way they sleepmost animals have a sleep during the day and tests have shown that a siesta can be beneficial for us tooits even been recommended that airline pilots should have a nap during long flights so that they are more alert（警觉的）for the tricky business of landing.so next time

world. and the chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging. his solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging. dr. shen ziyin has been trained in western

from the ancient chinese medicine system called “shen”. according to shen, it is the kidney（肾脏）which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. it is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through. studies conducted by dr. shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process, says a report in the telegraph newspaper. we notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness in general, and wrinkles, among others. this happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce t-cells. these t-cells contain a particular substance called fas. fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves. so the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of t-cells in the body. this can happen if people eat low calorie food. then the body is not active enough to produce extra t-cells. but, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young? this is where dr. shens herbal medicine comes in. but how effective it will be, only time can tell.12. how did dr. shen find the solution to the problem of aging?a. by studying western medicine.b. by learning traditional chinese medicine.c. by combining both western and chinese medicine.d. by doing research on both western and chinese people.13. what plays the most important role in keeping people young

allows people to keep youngb. the more chinese herbal medicine people drink, the better for healthc. people should try to quicken the production of t-cells in the bodyd. it remains unknown how effective dr. shens herbal medicine is ea punctual （准时的）person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment. _71_he is always in a hurry and in the
