As I walked to the window, I cried, I saw a little alien, no more than three feet tall, with big and black eyes. It tried to run between my legs and escape through the window. Although I was scared, for some reason, I squeezed (挤) my legs together in time to catch it. It took out something and hurt me. I felt a terrible sense of nothingness and fainted (晕倒). Then I woke up.At first, I could hardly move. I wasnt sure whether it was a dream or not. I pulled myself out of the bed and walked downstairs. I saw my mum in the kitchen. She was really getting my brother ready for school, wearing her pink clothes. Then I realized it was just a dream because in my dream she was wearing her work clothes.From then on, I always dreamt about aliens and all the dreams felt so real. At that time, I really thought maybe I had some kind of relationship with aliens. About two months later, I stopped having such dreams.

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.25 .

What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refer to?AThe brain wave.BThe brain activity.CThe whole brain.DThe left half of the brain.Some people dont like the number 13.
