The Amazing Brain

Sleep. It’s something we spend about a third of our lives doing, but do any of us really understand what it’s all about?

We all know based on our own experience that when we sleep, it clears our minds, and when we don’t sleep, it leaves our minds murky (昏沉沉的). But when we still haven’t understood why sleep has this amazing function for the mind.

              Recently biologists have found that sleep may actually be a kind of design solution to some of the brain’s most basic needs, the way that brain meets the high demands and the narrow margins (范围) that set it apart from all the other organs (器官) of the body. The brain has a large pool of clean, clear fluid (流体) called cerebrospinal fluid. Biologists call it the CSF. The CSF fills the space that surrounds the brain, and wastes from inside the brain make their way out to the CSF, which gets the waste into the blood. What was surprising to them was that the fluid on the outside of the brain didn’t stay on the outside. Instead, the CSF goes into and through the brain along the outsides of the blood vessels (血管), it was actually helping to clear away and clean the waste from the spaces between the brain’s cells (细胞). This only happens in the sleeping brain.

              Recent research suggests that what’s happening is that when the brain is awake and is at its most busy, it puts off clearing away the waste from the spaces between its cells until later. When we go to sleep, it gets into a kind of cleaning mode to clear away the waste from the spaces between its cells.

              We go to sleep every single night, but our brains never rest. While our body is still and our mind is off walking in dreams somewhere. Like our housework, it’s dirty and a thankless job, but it’s also important. In your house, if you stop cleaning your kitchen for a month, your home will become completely unlivable very quickly. But in he brain, the situation is much more serious because when it comes to cleaning the brain, it is the very health and function of the mind and the body that’s at stake. That is why understanding these very basic housekeeping functions of the brain today may prevent and treat diseases of the mind tomorrow.

27.              What does the underlined phrase “at stake” in the last paragraph mean?

A. in a healthy situation

B. in a dangerous situation

C. in an amazing situation

D. in an unlivable situation

28.              What can we learn from the passage?

A. Sleeping makes our brain feel murky.

B. The CSF can clean the waste in our brain.

C. Our brain can clean the waste at any time.

D. Sleeping makes our brain have a good rest.

29.              What is the main purpose of writing this passage?

A. To teach us how to have a good sleep.

B. To show the new research of our brain.

C. To introduce how CSF works in our brain.

D. To tell us the importance of sleeping.

D

Since 2005, office workers in Japan have been allowed to wear T-shirts and shorts to work, instead of business suits and ties. Why? The answer is simple. The government is trying to reduce the use of air conditioners.

Although air conditioners make our lives easier in hot weather, they can be bad for the environment. The coolers use a great deal of electricity to function and add to the effects of global warming.

But it is a vicious (恶性的) cycle. As temperatures rise, there will be more need for air conditioning.

Pawel Wargocki, an expert at the Technical University of Denmark, told The New York Times: “The air conditioning causes a huge problem to global climate and energy use.” He added, “More and more air conditioners are used. It’s very dangerous.”

We can’t live with air conditioning. But the thing is, we can’t live without it either. Scientific studies have shown that if indoor temperatures are high in hot weather, people will suffer from certain health problems and have a lower productivity.

For example, when air conditioners were turned down in Japanese offices, the room temperature rose to 28 or higher. As a result, workers started getting headaches, and feeling sleepy.

They couldn’t give all their attention to work and their productivity dropped by 2 percent, which means they did 30 minutes less work each day, according to Shinichi Tanabe, a professor of architecture at Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan.

So the best way to balance our comfort with environmental awareness is to change our expectations. Most of the time, it’s not that the room is too hot, but that we are used to it being cooler.

“The temperature many Americans find most comfortable indoors in summer —21C— feels uncomfortable to most Europeans, who find it too cold.” said Michael Sivak, professor at a University of Michigan, US. He said it is because Europeans care more about the environment and are willing to accept a bit more heat in summer.

Also, we can try to change our daily behavior. Open the windows to let air in, for example. Turning on the air conditioner is not the only way to make us feel comfortable.

30.              What did the Japanese government do to reduce the use of air conditioners?

A. To allow the workers to wear T-shirts to work.

B. To stop the workers from using air conditioners.

C. To let people accept a bit more heat in summer.

D. To ask people to open windows to let air in.

31.              The writer probably agrees that ______.

A. most people will be sick without air conditioners

B. global warming is mainly caused by air conditioners

C. people have to be used to living without air conditioners

D. we should change our expectations to protect environment

32.              We can learn from the passage that ______.

A. Japanese office workers are less productive in summer

B. Americans care less about environment than Europeans

C. People in Denmark believe air conditioners are dangerous

D. Europeans accept a bit cooler than Americans in summer

33.              Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. Protect Environment: Is it time to change business suits?

B. Protect Environment: Is it time to focus on temperature?

C. Protect Environment: Shall we change our expectations?

D. Protect Environment: Shall we stop using air conditioners?

              Cowboy hats are famous for their high crowns and wide brims. Cowboys lke wearing the hats very much. Why do cowboys wear hats? Here's a brief history of the cowboy hat which should answer your question!

              John Stetson, a young hat maker from New jersey, created the cowboy hat. Stetson happened to be on a trip, hunting for beavers (海狸). On this trip he used the beaver fur to make a hat. On the way he came across a cowboy who admired the hat and paid Stetson $5 for it. Ever since then, cowboys have been wearing "Stetsons" and similarly designed hats.

              Why did cowboys like the Stetson hat so much? Maybe for the following reasons.

              To protect against the weather. The wide brim of the hat keeps the sun light out of the eyes. It also helps to protect the face and neck from sunburn. The tall crown of the hat provided a pocket of air as insulation (隔离) to help keep heat in winter. The animal-fur felt hats are the most waterproot. It acts like an umbrella keeping the rain, and snow out of the face.

              Cowboys sleeping out in the open air could sometimes use their hats to shut out any light if they happened to be catching some shut eye during the day. They could even make a pillow out of their hat when sleeping out on the ground at night.

              Sometimes, cowboy hats were used as water buckets (桶) to feed horses if they were weaved (编织) tightly enough!

              Many people in the West wear cowboy hats today because it can look pretty! For some this is yet another benefit to wearing the hat, but for others this is the only reason for wearing it. And why not? Just as you don't have to be a baseball player to wear a baseball cap, you don't need to be a cowboy to enjoy wearing a cowboy hat.

34. Who creeated the cowboy hat？_____________________________________________________

35. How much did the cowboy pay Stetson for the hat?

36. What could cowboys do when sleeping out on the ground at night?
