But the truth is just the opposite: Your
9、best chance to get to the bottom of a problem is actually to sleep on it. A team of researchers at Northwestern University, US, found that sleeping is useful in both strengthening and re-organizing memory. This can help you solve problems. The researchers did an experiment with 57 students. They ask
10、ed them to solve 42 difficult puzzles on the first day. The students worked on each puzzle while listening to different music. The research encouraged students to remember the music they heard while solving the puzzles. By the end, there were six puzzles that the students still hadnt solved. The stu
11、dents then went back home to sleep. They were given special sleep-monitoring（睡眠 监测） and music devices (设备). The devices played music linked with the unsolved puzzles while the students were in the slow-wave sleep stage. This stage is when people are likely to dream and re-organize their memories. Th
12、e next morning, the students tried the unsolved puzzles again. Researchers found they were 55 percent more likely to solve them. The music activated（激活）the memories they had of the puzzles while they were sleeping. It allowed them to “work” on the puzzles in their sleep. Earlier studies of both peop
13、le and animals have shown that sleep cannot only strengthen memory, but also help us organize information in our brains. This study seems to support that understanding. So the next time you face a difficult problem, sleep on it. Then play some music to remind yourself of the problem. 1. What did the
14、 research at Northwestern University find? A. Sleeping can help people solve problems. B. Listening to music can improve memory. C. Music can help people solve puzzles faster. D. People can solve difficult puzzles in their dreams. 2. What do we know about the experiment? A. Some students didnt liste
15、n to music while solving puzzles. B. Some kept working on the puzzles when others were sleeping. C. The students “worked” on the unsolved puzzles while sleeping. D. Many students found it difficult to remember the music they heard. 3. What do we learn from the last paragraph? A. This study supports
16、earlier findings. B. The finding is of little practical value. C. This study should have had animals included. D. No research has been done in this field before. B One of the nicest things to do during the cold winter is to curl up （蜷缩） with a hot cup of tea. But for Britons, tea is a popular drink
17、all year round. Afternoon tea, high tea, builders tea (a strong cup of tea, usually with full-fat milk and two teaspoons of sugar), tea gowns (礼服), tea cakes, tea houses, tea breaks . they are all everyday names and phrases in the UK. Tea has, in fact, become part of the British way of life. And Bri
18、tons preferences for types of tea and how to drink it can really say a lot about them. British anthropologist（人类学家）Kate Fox writes in her book Watching the English that several clear messages are sent whenever a Briton makes a cup of tea. She observes that the strongest cups of black tea are usually
19、 drunk by the working class. The tea gets weaker as one goes up the social ladder. Sugar means something, too. “Taking sugar in your tea is thought by many to be a sign of a lower-class person: even one makes people suspicious (可疑的); more than one and you are lower-middle at best; more than two and
20、you are definitely working class,” she writes. Other rules involve how milk and sugar are added, if any is added. For example, drinking smoky black Lapsang Souchong （正山小种） tea from China with no sugar or milk can be a sign of class worries in the middle class. Tea doesnt just show class, though; it
21、can also be a social space filler. “Whenever the English feel awkward （尴尬的） or uncomfortable in a social situation (that is, almost all the time), they make tea,” Fox wrote in her book. 4.According to Kate Fox, _. A. adding milk to your tea can be a sign of class worries B. working-class people usua
22、lly like to drink weak tea C. adding sugar to your tea can make you suspicious D. upper-class Britons may not put any sugar in their tea 5. What can be concluded from the book Watching the English? A. How a Briton drinks his or her tea reflects his or her social position. B. Britons often judge othe
23、rsclass by their tea. C. Britons drink tea to show off their special tastes. D.ABritons way of drinking tea shows his or her individuality. 6. By saying “Tea can also be a social space filler”, the author means that drinking tea is_. A. a way of enriching Britonslives B. a way of making friends C. a
24、 tool to judge Britons by D. a way to feel better in social situations 7. Whats the main idea of the article? A. British tea has many interesting functions. B. There are rules to obey when drinking British tea. C. The ways in which Britons drink their tea are very telling. D. Tea plays an important
25、part on social occasions in Britain. C In recent years, the number of foreign guests increased rapidly. More and more hotels have western-style food services. At the same time, more and more Chinese people have accustomed to the hobby of eating western-style food. When eating western-style food, you
26、 can talk with others freely and lightly. But, when you talk with others, dont chew the food in your mouth. Generally speaking, clean your lips with napkins before talking or drinking. When eating western-style food, you cannot hold the plate when eating; and you cannot stab the food while eating a
27、large piece of food. You should cut the food into small pieces and then put them into your mouth. When eating western-style food, the way of eating is similar to the way of eating Cantonese food. That is drink soup first and then eat the dishes. When drinking the soup, hold the spoon with right hand
28、, and the spoon should face the outer side to ladle out the soup, and then put it into the mouth. Dont make any sound while drinking the soup. When eating western-style food, the bones and thorns should not be put into the mouth when you meet the dishes which have them. The food which already eaten
29、into the mouth cannot be spit out. So you should know the food you eat when eating western-style food. For the food which you are not so sure or the food which you dont like, then youd better not put them into your mouth. When eating western-style food, if you leave the table without finishing the d
30、inner, you should put the knife and fork crossed beside the plate, let the edge of the knife faces inside. If you have finished your meal, you should put the knife and fork side by side to show that the plate can be removed. 8. The reason why more and more western-style food is served in hotels migh
31、t be that_. A. western-style food is less expensive B. western-style food looks fine C. an increasing number of foreigners come to China lately D. eating western-style food is so cool 9. When you want to talk or drink, youd better_first. A. say “excuse me”B. put up your hand C. stand upD. wipe your
32、lips 10. When the soup and the dishes are served, you should_. A. eat the dishes first and then drink the soup B. drink the soup before eating the dishes C. eat the dishes while drinking the soup D. drink the soup and eat the dishes at the same time 11. Seeing the knife and fork crossed beside the p
33、late, the waiter_. A. wont remove the plateB. will remove the plate C. will ask you if youve finished your mealD. doesnt know what to do D The human face is a remarkable piece of work. The astonishing variety of facial features helps people recognize each other and is important to the formation of c
34、omplex societies. So is the faces ability to send emotional signals, whether through an unconscious reddening of face or a false smile. People spend much of their waking lives, in the office and the courtroom as well as the bar and the bedroom, reading faces, for signs of attraction, trust and cheat
35、. They also spend plenty of time trying to dissimulate. Technology is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces. In America, facial recognition is used by churches to track prayers attendance; in Britain, by shopkeepers to spot past thieves. This year Welsh police used it to arrest a
36、suspect outside a football game. In China, it verifies the identities of ride-hailing (网约车) drivers, permits tourists to enter attractions and lets people pay for things with a smile. Apples new iPhone is expected to use it to unlock the home screen. Compared with human skills, such applications mig
37、ht expand steadily in scale. Some breakthroughs, such as flight or the Internet, obviously transform human abilities; facial recognition seems merely to encode them. Although faces are peculiar to individuals, they are also public, so technology does not, at first sight, intrude on something that is
38、 private. And yet the ability to record, store and analyse images of faces cheaply, quickly and on a vast scale promises one day to bring about major changes to our understanding of privacy, fairness and trust. Start with privacy. One big difference between faces and other biometric (计量生物学的) data, s
39、uch as fingerprints, is that they work at a distance. Anyone with a phone can take a picture for facial-recognition programs to use. FindFace, an app in Russia, compares snaps of strangers with pictures on VKontakte, a social network, and can identify people with a 70% accuracy rate. Even if private
40、 firms are unable to join the dots between images and identity, the state often can. Photographs of half of Americas adult population are stored in databases that can be used by the FBI. Law-enforcement agencies now have a powerful weapon in their ability to track criminals, but at enormous potentia
