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 .

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.四、 根据句意，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空一词。 (共5题；共15分)15. （1分）My pen is_(break).
