　 Occasional sleepwalking does not tend to present a problem and most children grow out of it．If it happens every night and causes problems, then sleep disorder specialists suggest that parents spend a week noting the time when sleepwalking tends to happen, and then gently wake the child about fifteen minutes before this time. This will often break the cycle.

　 So what should you do if you find your relative sleepwalking? For a start, they are in such a deep sleep that they will probably not notice you, even if you try to wake them．If you do succeed in walking them, they will become distressed. Everyone has experienced that feeling of confusion when the alarm awakens you from deep sleep, instead of the lighter sleep we are usually experiencing by the time our alarms sound. I once had the shock of being woken by a crash and found myself in the kitchen, standing barefoot and surrounded by broken glass. I’d tried to get a glass of water while sleepwalking, but like most sleepwalkers I failed to turn on the light, and had smashed the glass against the tap.

　 Walking a sleepwalker will not cause them to have a heart attack, but the kindest thing to do is not try to wake them at all. Lead them gently back to bed so that they do not hurt themselves. They will remain deeply asleep, and it is likely that will not remember a thing in the morning.

56．What do the specialists advise the parents to do to avoid their children’s sleepwalking?

　 A．Go to bed with their children at the same time．

　 B．Keep a record of the time when children wake up．

　 C．Take 15 minutes to wake children from sleepwalking．

　 D．Try some time to break the cycle of the sleepwalking．

57．When a sleepwalker is suddenly woken, he is most likely to　 ．

　 A．die from heart attack　 B．do some cooking

　 C．feel lost　 D．become relaxed

58．What should we do to deal with a sleepwalking relative?

　 A．Do nothing but take him back to bed．

　 B．Try every means to wake him at once．

　 C．Leave your relative where he stays．

　 D．Send him to a specialist immediately．

59．What is the best title for the text?

　 A．Sleep Disorder B．Sleepwalking　 C．Sleep Advice D．Sleepwalkers

I’d like to share the strangest of the strange moments I’ve had here．

Back in 2003 I had a pet rabbit named Alaska．Due to the rules the landlord had set，he had to be kept in the basement(地下室)．One night I went downstairs to feed him．Keep in mind I’ve always thought the basement was frightening．As I was facing his cage and putting the bowl of water inside，a big shadow appeared behind me，as if a big，tall man were standing behind me．I turned around and nobody was there，but I got the distinct(清晰的)feeling that I was being watched．I basically dropped the water bowl and ran upstairs shouting for my mom．Ever since then I can’t go down there alone．

Once I was trying to get to sleep，and I slept with the lights off．All of sudden I wanted to leave the room eagerly，but I couldn’t get out of my bed，I was too scared．The feeling of someone looking closely at me was so upset，I was physically afraid to move or breathe．I opened my curtains to let the street light in，thinking the light would help me feel better to move．That did nothing．I must have sat there on my bed for about fifteen minutes before I got up．I didn’t sleep in there that night．I’ve never felt anything so upset!

Then there are all the little things，like seeing things in the comer of my eye，hearing doors open or close when I’m home alone，and the feeling of being watched．Once when my sister wasn’t home(we share a room)I heard someone breathing from her bed and heard the sheets rustle(沙沙声)．Last week，I felt someone patting me in the shoulder when I was alone in my room．Sometimes I’ll be looking something and I’ll see one or more contorted(扭曲的)，angry faces．

I realize that when one is looking for something to happen they can make things happen or imagine it．These are the moments in which I know nothing was imagined，so I wanted to share them and get your opinions．Thanks so much．

It was my birthday last Thursday. I decided to  36  by inviting a few friends out to supper. I chose a restaurant in a  37  part of town. It is one of my favorite restaurants because the food is good and the waiters are friendly. It is  38  ever crowded, because not many people know about it, so it is not usually  39  to book(预定) a table. In any case, Thursday is not a busy evening  40 .

When we entered the restaurant, we were surprised to find it completely  41 . I looked around but no  42  was free. One of the waiters recognized me. He came across and explained the situation. “A party of tourists(旅游团) came in about half an hour ago,” he said. “It was like an invasion (侵略).  43  the place was full! We can hardly manage (对付，应付).”

The waiter then pointed to a table in the corner. “The people there are about to  44 ,” he said. “Just hold on and you’ll  45  a place there.” He was right. Fifteen minutes later, the people  46  the corner table paid their  47 , got up and left. I led my friends across and we all sat down.

 48 , our table was almost out of sight. We tried to call the attention of the waiter who sent us there,   49  he, like all the other waiters, was  50  with the party of tourists. They ordered lots of food. At last, an hour later, the tourists were finishing their meal and looking very  51  with life. The waiter, now very tired, appeared at our table. I advised my friends about the best dishes and finally the waiter went off with our  52 .

A few moments later he returned to our table. We could tell from his face that he had  53  news for us.  54  a little sorry he told us that there was no meat or fish. “All we can  55  you,” he said, “is an omelet (煎蛋卷) !”

One morning I was woken by my mother’s angry voice. I opened my eyes and found it was seven forty , so jumped out of bed and rushed to a nearby bus stop without breakfast. Fortunately the bus started going as soon as I got on it. I was sure I could reach the school before the bell rang.
However, the bus suddenly stopped. There was something wrong with it and we had to get off and wait for another one. I felt I couldn’t wait and the school was only fifteen minutes’ walk, so I ran to the school as fast as possible. Just at this moment, it began to rain hard. 
I reached the classroom with all my clothes wet through. Mr. Smith, our physics teacher, had begun his class. I was always afraid of him. I hesitated (犹豫) for a moment, and then I opened the door.
“It’s you again, Jim,” Mr. Smith said angrily. “I’ve told you not to be late, but you...” Then he suddenly stopped when he noticed my wet clothes. He quickly took off his own jacket and asked me to put it on. “I don’t want you to catch a cold,” he said kindly. I went to my seat with Mr. Smith’s jacket on. It was a bit large for me but I felt very warm in it. I found, for the first time, Mr. Smith’s physics class so interesting and I changed my mind, there and then, about being afraid of him.
