Burning the midnight oil before an exam or interview has an opposite effect according to a research which found that sleep is necessary for memories to be “downloaded” into the 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.
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 passage is “________”．
A. Sleep Necessary for Memories
B. The Importance of the First Stage of Sleep
C. Studies Made by Scientists About Sleep
D. The Scientists' Achievement in Sleep Research

Scattered(分散) throughout the various reports on sleep research are several that describe some unusual behavior by people who are sleepwalking. These include eating, making phone calls and even murder.
Now, there’s a new case appearing in one more study on this strange phenomenon: sleep e-mailing. In an article published in journal Sleep Medicine,
This woman received a puzzling phone call from a friend who said she was accepting her dinner invitation ― an invitation that the woman could not remember having made.
The friend reminded the woman of the e-mail she had sent the night before ― an e-mail of which the woman also had no recollection（记忆）. However, a quick search through her sent e-mail folder did turn up one strange e-mail. She had apparently sent it to her friend ― at 11:47 the previous night.
The puzzling message said: “I don’t get it. Please explain Lucy! Come tomorrow and sort this out! Dinner and drinks, 4 pm? Wine and caviar (鱼子酱) to bring only. Everything else, a guess?
There were two other e-mails sent to her friend at 11:50pm and 11:53 pm, each of which seemed to be written in a strange language, full of capitalization errors and phrases that didn’t make sense. According to Dr Fouzia Siddiqui, lead author of the case study, this particular sleepwalking case was unique and was the first and only published account of “sleep e-mailing”.
“Sleepwalking has occurred in the past where people would undertake other activities such as cooking or moving furniture around,” Siddiqui said. “ But this case is unique in that she wasn’t just sleeping but doing complex things like turning on her computer, remembering her user name and password and typing entire e-mails.”
Just what is sleepwalking? It is actually a kind of sleep disorder. Studies have found that somewhere between 5 and 10 percent of people are sleepwalkers.
It comes from a mixture of wakefulness and non-REM (非快速眼动期) sleep. Sleepwalkers can carry out complex behavior such as driving, walking, e-mailing and telephoning in a sleep-like state. People with high levels of stress and anxiety, or those who have a family history of sleepwalking are more likely to experience it.
57. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. It analyzes what sleepwalking is and its effects on people.
B. It explains to readers why and how sleepwalking forms.
C. It mainly reports on a recent unique case of sleepwalking.
D. It tells about various kinds of sleepwalking there are.
58. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. More than ten percent of people have the problem of sleepwalking.
B. A boy whose parents are sleepwalkers may become a sleepwalker.
C. Sleepwalking is a problem which is related to both age and anxiety.
D. Sleepwalkers won’t hurt others at all when they are sleepwalking.
59. Why does Siddiqui say the case of the sleepwalking woman is unique?
A. Two of her e-mails sent while sleepwalking seemed like works from outer space .
B. The case of the sleepwalking woman has interested scientists in the world.
C. The case of the woman is the first known account of "sleeping e-mailing".
D. The sleepwalking woman took a lot of complex actions.
60. What does the phrase "make sense" mean in the 7th paragraph?
A. have a clear meaning B. move others deeply
C. have a good end D. interest others
