brain A good night s sleep within 30 hours of trying to remember a new task is a necessary condition of having good recall in the weeks ahead scientists have found We think that getting that first night s sleep starts the process of memory consolidation 加强 said Robert Stickgold a sleep researcher at Harvard Medical School who conducted the latest study It seems that memories are normally washed out of the brain unless some process nails them down I feel uncertain that sleep is one of those things that do the nailing down Professor Stickgold said Professor Stickgold s team trained the 24 people to tell the direction of three diagonal bars 斜线 shown for a sixtieth of a second on a computer screen full of horizontal stripes 水平线 Half the subjects were kept awake that night while the others slept Both groups were allowed to sleep for the second and third nights to make up for any differences in tiredness between the volunteers Those who slept the first night were much better at remembering the task while the second group showed no improvement in spite of enjoying two nights of catch up sleep 用心 爱心 专心3 A further study by scientists at the Medical University at Lubeck in Germany showed that memories are laid down in two stages during the night The first is during the deep so called slow wave sleep which usually takes place in the first half of the night The second and less important stage happens during the periods of dreaming or rapid eye movement REM When people don t sleep well in the first half of the night their memory consolidation is almost the same as having no sleep at all 1 Which of the following statements is CORRECT according to the first paragraph A It is necessary to burn the midnight oil before an exam or interview B Sleep speeds up the loss of memory C Man should have a good sleep if he wants to keep a good memory D Staying up late will make you better prepared for an exam or interview 2 It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that A some process helps memories to be washed out of the brain B Professor Stickgold is doubtful about whether sleep can make memories worse C some memories normally influence the function of the brain D sleep may can improve the condition of memories 3 How was the research conducted by Professor Stickgold A The subjects were divided into two groups B All the subjects were kept awake for 3 nights C One group slept at the first night but was kept awake the next two nights D One group was kept awake for 3 nights but the other slept for the second and third nights 4 What was the study result of the scientists at the Medical University at Lubeck A REM sleep is not important at all for the consolidation for memory B Intellectual performance mainly depends on the slow wave sleep period C When people sleep poorly in the first half of the night it is almost the same as having no sleep at all D REM sleep is as important as slow wave sleep in terms of memory recall 5 The BEST title of this

combination of many different things Among these are many different elements Looking at some of these elements will show how the director and others involved were able to create an emotionally 用心 爱心 专心4 charged movie that appealed to millions The film uses one thematic 主题的 element called The Truth of Human Nature The two main characters seem to represent noble people Most of the other characters in the film are shown as non tolerant rude and cold hearted people The element of focusing on the two main characters love and emotion seems symbolic of an ideal state There are also social problems addressed This is done in a few different ways The most noticeable way is that the lower class people remain locked in the basement as the ship goes down Throughout Titanic the lighting is very

replace gas with a cleaner greener alternative Though much eco talk has centered on biofuels from corn and soybeans the biofuel that looks more likely to replace petroleum comes from a most unlikely source algae 藻类 Algae like corn soybeans and other crops grow via photosynthesis 光合作 用 and can be processed into fuel oil However they yield 30 times more energy than land crops such as soybeans according to the U S Department of Energy Many algae species also can grow in saltwater and polluted water while corn and soy require arable land and fresh water that will be in short supply as the world s population balloons If you replaced all the diesel 柴油 in the U S with soy biodiesel it would take half the land mass of the U S to grow those soybeans says Matt Caspari chief executive of Aurora Biofuels a Berkeley Calif based private firm that specializes in algae oil technology On the other hand the Energy Department says that if algae fuel replaced all the petroleum fuel in the United States it would require 15 000 square miles which is a few thousand miles larger than Maryland 12 407 square miles the 42nd state in land area Another bonus Because algae can be grown just
