Good health
demands good sleep.Studies have shown that most people need eight hours of sleep each night.Americans, however, on average, get only seven hours.Onethird of us get just six hours, and good
health is not simply a matter of how much sleep you get, but also the type of sleep you get.
Nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep allows your body to grow and repair itself.During NREM
sleep, your muscles relax.Your heart rate and breathing rate decrease.Your eyes roll slowly back and
forths then they stop moving.Most of the sleeping you do is NREM sleep.
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep restores your brain.During REM sleep, you dream.You may not
remember every dream, but every time you sleep, you dream.Your eye
s move back and forth quickly.Your breathing rate and heartbeat increase.Your muscles become paralysed (麻痹的). About 25 percent of your sleep is REM sleep.You need enough of both kinds of sleep to be healthy.
Is it a real concern if you don"t get enough good sleep?It certainly is.Poor sleep puts you and others at
risk.
More than 100,000 car accidents are caused each year by drivers who nod off (打盹). Almost $100 billion is lost yearly in the business and environmental
field.People deprived_of sleep have been factors inthe Challenger space tragedy, the Exxon Valdez oil spill (溢出), and the Chernobyl nuclear reactor
accident.So do yourself and everyone around you a favour.Don"t cheat yourself out of good sleep!B. what happens during REM sleep

Computers are very important to modern life.Many people think that in the future computer
s will be
used a lot in everyday life.It is thought that we won"t have to go shopping because we will be able to get
most things which are sold in shops on the Internet.There will be no more books because we will be able
to get all texts from computers.The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food.Most
telephone calls will be made by computers, too.
Some people are glad about those new ways of shopping and communicating.Others do not think that
computers will replace our old ways.
Let"s look at books, for example.Some people think that one day we will not read books made of
paper.Instead, we will buy and read books using computers.We will read texts on small pocket computers.The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time.We won"t need to turn lots of
pages and paper will be saved.Computerized (计算机化的) books will be used more and more.
Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop?Many people say it is not.It is a pleasure to
go into shops and look at things you want to buy.It is also unlikely that many people will want to read
large texts on our computers, because paper books will perhaps be more friendly.Maybe computers
won"t change these two habits.
B. m
aking telephone calls, having meals and seeing filmsC. seeing films, buying food and going for holidays
D. playing games, making telephone calls and seeing the doctor
NOT mentioned in the passage?B. Computers can keep many different books in them.

D. We won"t need any paper.
lls________.B. if the Internet will change our habits

than one hundred seventy thousand dollars.The Caf ? now has s
ixteen computers, a printer and a scanner (扫描仪). School official Ann Hengerer says students use the Internet to complete research.They also write homework and required papers on the computer.In addition, they can send and receive electronic
mails
.That is especially helpful for many students who have family members in other nations.The Cyber Caf? also serves a social purpose.Visitors can stop by for a drink of coffee, tea or hot
chocolate.
