And now researchers from Brown University in Rhode Island think they know why. They found that one-half of the brain remains more awake than the other half when people are trying to sleep in a new place.This appears a case of the brain keeping people ready for trouble in a new place, the researchers said.The sleep findings were reported in Current Biology by Brown University. In their report, the researchers said many people report they have a harder time sleeping the first night at a hotel or other places outside their home. They call it first-night influence. In Japan they say, If you change your pillow, you cant sleep, said Yuka Sasaki, one of the reports writers, You dont sleep very well in a new place. We all know about it.The researchers measured brain waves(测量脑波) for 35 volunteers over two nights in a laboratory. The two nights were a week apart. They found during the first night the left half of the brain was more active than the right half. This was during the first deep-sleep period, the researchers said.Sasaki said a lot of questions remain.Researchers did not keep measuring brain waves all night long. So, they dont know if the left half keeps watch all night. Or whether it works in shifts with the right half later in the night. They also dont know why the brain activity, at least during the first period of deep sleep, is always on the left half.For some, this research may be calming. It is good to know that our brain is looking out for us in a new place. But it may not help with sleep. That brain activity, at least according to this new research, makes it harder to get the sleep people need to wake up well rested in the morning.（1）What did the research find during the first deep-sleep period? A . They found the brain wave remained the same.B . They found the brain activity helped with sleep.C . They found the right half of the brain kept watch.D . They found the left half of the brain was more active.（2）Which of the following is one of the questions that remain? A . Whether the new bed keeps you from sleeping.B . How you have trouble sleeping in a new place.C . Why the brain activity is always on the left half.D . What people can do when they cant sleep well.（3）The underlined word calming has the closest meaning to _. A . pleasingB . differentC . seriousD . strange（4）What does the underlined word it in Paragraph 7 refer to? A . The brain wave.B . The brain activity.C . The whole brain.D . The left half of the brain.23. （25分）阅读下面短文，简要回答所给问题。The first telephone cards, produced in 1976, were Italian. Five years later the first British card appeared, and now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries. People usually start collecting cards because they are small and light and you do not need much space for them. It is also a cheap hobby for beginners, although for some people it becomes a serious business. In Paris, for example, there is a market where you can only buy telephone cards, and some cards cost up to 4,000. The first Japanese card has a value of about 28,000. Most people only see cards with prices like these in their collectors magazine.（1）When were the first Italian telephone cards produced? _（2）How many countries can produce telephone cards now?（3）Where can we find a market to buy telephone cards?（4）What is the price of the first Japanese telephone card?（5）In which magazine do most people see cards with prices?四、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共5分)24. （5分）信息归纳，请阅读短文，根据所提供信息，完成下面表格。What will happen in 100 years?
