9、in front of the class, shed not only call on me but have me stand up to address my classmates.One spring afternoon, Mrs. Blackstone asked me to stay after class. “Id like to speak with you, Amanda.” My mind raced.

22、passage mainly intended for?ATeenagers.BTeachers.CYoung parents.DAdults.Loss of slow-wave sleep as you age may increase your risk of developing dementia (痴呆), according to a new study.“We found that aging was associated with a decline in the amount of the deepest stages of sleep, known as slow-wave
23、sleep. We then found that people with greater declines in slow-wave sleep over time had a higher risk of getting dementia over the next 17 years of follow-up,” said Matthew Pase, senior author of the study.Slow-wave sleep is the third and fourth stages of sleep, which is important for brain health.
24、During this stage, the body removes unwanted or harmful materials from the brain. “For the brain, this deep sleep is thought to be the most restorative,” said Dr Richard Isaacson, who wasnt involved in the study.The researchers wanted to know whether chronic (慢性的) reductions in slow-wave sleep over
25、time are linked to dementia risk in humans and whether dementia-related processes in the brain may contribute to getting less of this type of sleep. They studied 346 people with an average age of 69 and completed two overnight sleep studiesone between 1995 and 1998 and the second between 1998 and 20
26、01during which their sleep was monitored. The researchers also investigated whether any change in the amount of slow-wave sleep that participants got was associated with developing dementia up to 17 years after they completed the sleep studies. By that time, 52 participants had been diagnosed with d
27、ementia. Each percentage decrease in slow-wave sleep per year was linked to a 27 percent increased risk of developing dementia. The rate of slow-wave sleep loss accelerated (加速) from age 60, peaked from ages 75 to 80and slowed afterwards.“This is an important study yet again showing the impact of qu
28、ality of sleep on a persons risk of cognitive decline and dementia,” Isaacson said. “Its important to not only pay attention to the total amount of sleep a person gets each night, but also monitor sleep quality as best as possible.”12What can we learn from the new study?AThe older you are, the less

Its easy for us to get caught up in our own little worlds and hide what were feeling from other people. 16 . But if you can open up
32、more to others, youll see how rewarding it is to connect on a deeper level. 17 . Relax and think through your feelings as they come to you. Whenever you feel something, take a second to sit with what youre feeling. Think about how you feel and let the emotion wash over you naturally. Name your emoti
33、ons as they come to you. Giving your feeling a name makes it easier to understand. Once youre comfortable with a feeling. Give the emotion a name. Are you anxious about something?

34、.Maintain a journal for your feelings. One way to help you to open up emotionally to others is to keep a daily journal. 19 .
