Its something we spend about a third of our lives doing, but do any of us really understand what its all about?We all know based on our own experience that when we sleep, it clears our minds, and when
23、 we dont sleep, it leaves our minds murky (昏沉沉的). But when we still havent 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 brains most basic needs, the way that brain meets the high demands
24、 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 o
25、ut 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 didnt 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
26、 waste from the spaces between the brains cells (细胞). This only happens in the sleeping brain.Recent research suggests that whats 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,
27、 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, its dirty and a thankless job, but its also impor
28、tant. 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 thats at stake. Th
29、at 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 situationB. in a dangerous situationC. in an amazing situationD. in an unliv
30、able situation28.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 h
31、ave 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.DSince 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
32、 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 temper
33、atures 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. Its very dangerous.”
34、We cant live with air conditioning. But the thing is, we cant 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 i
35、n Japanese offices, the room temperature rose to 28 or higher. As a result, workers started getting headaches, and feeling sleepy.They couldnt 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 Tanab
36、e, 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, its not that the room is too hot, but that we are used to it being cooler.“The temperature many Americans find most
37、 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 chan
38、ge our daily behavior. Open the windows to let air in, for example.
