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.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 bed, 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 (间隔). 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 (轮换) with the right half later in the night. They also do not 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）How many times did the researchers measure brain waves for 35 volunteers?A . Once.B . Twice.C . Three timesD . Four times.（2）The researchers found _ during the first deep-sleep period.A . the brain waves remained the sameB . the brain activity helped with sleepC . the right half of the brain kept watchD . the left half of the brain was more active（3）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.（4）The underlined word calming has the closest meaning to_ .A . pleasingB . differentC . seriousD . strange（5）What can be learned according to the passage? A . Many people have a harder time sleeping outside their home.B . Dont sleep very well in a new place is first night influence.C . Researches keep measuring brain waves all night.D . The left half brain works in shifts with the right half.（6）What is the text mainly about?A . What we will have to do to sleep well.B . How researchers measure brain waves.C . Who doesnt sleep well in a new place.D . Why its harder to sleep in a new place.3. （10分）阅读理解，根据短文内容，判断正误。 The Browns live in a small village. They have only one child, Tom. He is twenty.

Services such as hospital and transport(交通) are usually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.But in the big cities of Europe like London or Paris, people are moving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt(尘土) of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They dont want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there.So they move out of the cities. Some dont go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities, other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields.
