| Fred liked playing tricks on others. One afternoon he went to a shop and bought some bread. On his way home he saw Johnson, an old man about sixty riding a donkey (驴). The boy walked to the old man and decided to play a trick on him. He thought for a moment and then he had an idea. "Hello, my friend," Fred said in a loud voice. "Please come and have a piece of bread." "Thank you very much." Johnson got off the donkey and said gladly." "But I have already had lunch." "I'm sorry. I'm talking to your donkey, not to you." Fred said with a smile. Johnson understood at once that the boy was playing a trick on him. He became angry, but he didn't show his anger. He just turned quickly to his donkey, held up the lash (鞭子) and hit it on the back. "Before we set off, I asked if you had friends in the town. You said again and again that you hadn't. Can you explain why the young man asked you to have the bread, then?" The more the old man said, the less he could control his anger.

| I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a major insurance (保险业) company. I told him honestly why I wanted the job-I needed to keep my family in Boston. My wife recently died of a heart attack (心脏病). A job in Boston would help me reduce some of the extreme trauma (精神创伤) and pain of the loss for my 16-year-old daughter. It was important for me to keep her in her high school. I could still hardly talk about the loss of my wife. Bruce, the interviewer, was politely empathetic, but he didn't probe (彻底调查) any further. He admitted (接受) my loss and, with great respect, moved on to another subject. After the next round of the interview, Bruce took me to lunch with another person. Then he asked me to take a walk with him. He told me that he, too, had lost his wife. And, like me, he had also been married 20 years and had three children. In his sharing, I realized that he had experienced the same pain as I had a pain that was almost impossible to explain to someone who had not lost a beloved one. He offered his business card and home phone number and suggested that, if I need help or just want someone to talk to, I should feel free to give him a call. Whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that he was there if I ever needed help. When he had no idea if we would ever see each other again, he helped our family deal with one of the greatest losses. He turned the normally cold business interview into a caring support for another person in need. |

| Going to sleep may seem pretty boring compared with all the fun things you do while you are awake. But there's a lot going on in your mind and body while you are sleeping. Sleep, in fact, is as important to your survival as eating and drinking. Sleep improves your mood, makes you a better athlete, and helps you remember and understand what you learned during the day. During sleep, your temperature drops. Your heart beats slowly. A chemical that controls growth, which is called a hormone (荷尔蒙), moves into your bloodstream. Scientists think that sleep brings back energy and improves your immune (免疫) system. We know what happens while we're asleep because scientists study volunteers who sleep in laboratories. The sleepers are connected with machines that measure brain waves, eye movements and muscle activities. Sleep is like a school day: it's divided into different stages (阶段). When you are awake, your brain waves fire rapidly (迅速地). As you begin to relax and drift into the first stage of sleep, your brain produces slower-moving waves and you lose awareness (意识) of your surroundings. As you fall into deeper sleep, your body repairs itself from the normal wear and tear of daily life. Then, as you begin to drift back up to a lighter sleep, your mind becomes more alert (警觉的), and your dreams begin. You are in REM sleep. REM is the name for the rapid eye movement that happens while you are dreaming. During REM sleep, your eyes move back and forth behind your lids, as though you were watching a movie. During other stages, you might move in bed, but during REM sleep you're not making any movement. That's probably because if you could move, your body would act out your dreams. As you get close to morning, you spend more time in REM than in deep sleep, so you dream more. Researchers know that during REM sleep the part of the brain that deals with learning and thinking is very active. Getting too little sleep can affect your personality. Experts recommend that children get at least nine hours'sleep a night. |
| 1. Sleep has many advantages except _______. |
|
[ ] |
| A. improving your mood B. making you strong C. helping you study D. practising your eyes |
| 2. During your sleep, _______. ① your body repairs itself from the normal wear and tear of daily life ② your brain produces slower-moving waves ③ your dream begins ④ you lose awareness of surroundings Choose the right order: |
| A. ①③②④ B. ②④①③ C. ④①③② D. ④③①② |
| 3. Suppose this is the course of your sleep, in which part of the course do you have more dreams? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Light sleep. B. Deep sleep. C. REM sleep. D. The first two stages of sleep. |
| 4. Which of the following is NOT right? |
|
[ ] |
| A. During REM sleep, the whole brain is active. B. You don't move while you are in REM sleep, dreaming. C. The closer to morning, the more dreams you have. D. Hormone has something to do with your growth. |
