Her phone showed that during the night, Priedeman had read a text message from her friend. She did it while she was fast asleep.Reading and sending text messages while asleep called sleep texting is an unusual sleep behaviour, similar to sleep walking. Its also a growing problem among doctors: young people cant live without their cell phones.One in three teenagers sends more than 100 text messages a day, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project. And at least four out of five teenagers said they sleep with their phone on or near their bed.Elizabeth Dowdell, a professor at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, has studied sleep texting. She said that having a phone nearby all night is a big part of the problem.Andrew Stiehm, a sleep medicine researcher with Allina Health in Minnesota, agrees. Its possible for the part of the brain that controls skills to wake up, while the part of the brain that controls memory and judgment(判断) may be still asleep. Thats why some people can perform basic movements-such as walking, talking, texting or even driving while theyre sleeping. Some of Dowdells students said that theyre disturbed by their nighttime texting behaviour. But because sleep texting is unconscious, its a difficult habit to break. Dowdell said she knows of some students who wear socks on their hands to keep themselves from texting.Marjorie Hogan, a doctor at Hennepin County Medical Centre in Minneapolis, Minnesota, suggests keeping all electronic products outside the bedroom.（1）What happened to Olivia Priedeman?A . She sleepwalked to a friends house.B . She dreamed of making plans with a friend.C . She phoned one of her friends during the night.D . She read a text message from her friend while asleep.（2）What does the underlined word unconscious mean?A . 无意义的B . 无意识的C . 无反应的D . 无规律的（3）What can we learn from the passage?A . Its easy to give up a sleep texting habit.B . One in three teenagers has a sleep texting habit.C . Sleep texting can reduce the quality of ones sleep.D . Sleep texting does more harm to ones health than sleep walking.10. （10分）阅读理解 Drones are a kind of machine that can fly. People use a computer to control this flying machine.
