【題目】 We usually have a good mood if we sleep enough at night. Otherwise, sometimes we will feel sad. What’s more, sleep also influences our study or work.

You might be asleep but part of your brain is not. It’s carefully keeping time for you. In the morning, a thing called PER is released (釋放), which slowly wakes you up, often right before your alarm clock is set to go off. Sleep-talking can include some broken noises or complete sentences. About 5 percent of adults do it. It happens to children more often. And fever, stress, worries or sadness may lead to it.

Most people grind ( 磨 碎 ) their teeth while they are asleep, at least sometimes. An unusual bite or even sleep apnea ( 窒 息 ) may lead to this habit. Most people are not aware of this until the doctor tells them. If you harm your teeth at night, your dentist can give you a mouth guard to prevent it.

You think you’re resting, but your brain is doing some serious housekeeping every single night. While you are asleep, your brain clears out some memories and organizes others again. The brain also cleans itself and moves away unnecessary and harmful things.

Your muscles ( 肌 肉 ) are frozen for part of every night. In fact, it’s okay to be paralyzed ( 癱 瘓 的 ) during sleep. During rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, your brain is busy dreaming. To prevent yourself from acting to the dreams, our body’smuscles will be paralyzed. It’s possible to wake up during the end of this cycle and be awake but unable to move. These usually pass quickly.

Each night you lose about a pound because of the water vapor ( 蒸 汽 ) while breathing. So it is the most pleasant for you to weigh yourself in the morning. Take advantage of it!

【題目】 Sao Paulo in Brazil is a very big city, and it’s growing fast. Every year there are more cars and motorcycles on the roads. But not enough new rules have been built. The city’s traffic has become so terrible that sometimes there are traffic jams（堵塞）100 kilometres long! Traveling across the city can take hours.

But in a helicopter（直升飛機(jī)）, it can take just a few minutes. There are now about 500 helicopters in the city, and they can be seen- and heard- flying at all times of the day and night. Sao Paulo has become famous for having so many helicopters.

Tiago Gomez is a Sao Paulo businessman who often uses helicopters to travel around the city. “I use a helicopter taxi almost every day,” he says. “A pilot flies me tomy business meetings and at the end of the day he takes me back to my home outside the city. People sometimes tell me it’s a waste of money, but I’m a busy man. I can’t wait in traffic jams for hours. Time is money. So for me, helicopters are great.”

But many people don’t agree. Professor Catarina Ferreira is a transportation expert who has studied the city’s traffic problems. “I understand why wealthy people use helicopters,” says Ferreira, “but it’s not good for the city. They’re noisy and they’re bad for the environment. Also, we really need to do something about Sao Paulo’s traffic problems. But that isn’t going to happen if all the wealthy, important people just fly over the streets and pay no attention to the problems below them.”

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷正（T）、誤（F）。

【1】The traffic problems are very serious in Sao Paulo.

【2】Helicopters can be used only in the daytime in Sao Paulo.

【3】Tiago Gomez would rather spend lots of money on the helicopter than wait in traffic jams.

【4】Helicopters are harmful to the city and they cause lots of pollution.

【5】Sao Paulo’s traffic problems are easy to solve as long as transportation experts do enough research.
