It is often said that the best way to get to the bottom of a hard problem is to sleep on it. Does this make sense? A new study shows that it does.

A team of researchers at Northwestern University, US, found that sleeping is useful in both strengthening(增強(qiáng)) and reorganizing(重組)memory. 【1】

The researchers did an experiment on 57 university students. They asked students to solve 42 difficult puzzles (謎題) on the first day.【2】 The researchers encouraged students to remember the music they heard while solving the puzzles. By the end, there were six puzzles that the students still hadn't solved.

【3】 They were given special sleep-monitoring(睡眠監(jiān)測(cè))and music devices(設(shè)備). The devices played music linked with the unsolved puzzles while the students were in the slow-wave(慢波) sleep stage (階段). This stage is when people are likely to dream and reorganize their memories.

The next morning, the students tried the unsolved puzzles again.【4】 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.

Former studies of both people and animals have shown that sleep can not only strengthen memory, but also help us organize and send information.【5】 So the next time you face a difficult problem, sleep on it. Play some music to remind yourself of the problem.

A.Researchers found they were 55 percent more likely to solve them.

B.This can help you solve problems.

C.This study is more evidence(證據(jù))of these findings.

D.The students then went back home to sleep.

E.Students worked on each puzzle while listening to different music.

【解析】

本文介紹了美國(guó)西北大學(xué)的一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)：睡眠在增強(qiáng)（或重組）記憶方面都很有用。他們讓學(xué)生未解的謎題留到明天，經(jīng)過(guò)一夜的睡眠和和睡眠中聽(tīng)未解之謎的音樂(lè)，第二天他們很容易解出謎題。故睡眠不僅能增強(qiáng)記憶，還能幫助我們組織和發(fā)送信息。因此，下次你遇到難題時(shí)，就好好睡一覺(jué)。同時(shí)，播放一些音樂(lè)來(lái)提醒自己這個(gè)問(wèn)題。

【1】句意：這能幫你解決問(wèn)題。

根據(jù)上文“It is often said that the best way to get to the bottom of a hard problem is to sleep on it. Does this make sense? …A team of researchers at Northwestern University, US, found that sleeping is useful in both strengthening(增強(qiáng)) and reorganizing(重組)memory.( 人們常說(shuō)，弄清一個(gè)棘手問(wèn)題的最好辦法是好好睡一覺(jué)是的這有道理嗎？……美國(guó)西北大學(xué)的一個(gè)研究小組發(fā)現(xiàn)，睡眠對(duì)增強(qiáng)和重組記憶都很有用。)”可知此句是“這能幫你解決問(wèn)題。”故選B。

【2】句意：學(xué)生們一邊聽(tīng)不同的音樂(lè)一邊做每一個(gè)謎題。

根據(jù)下文“The researchers encouraged students to remember the music they heard while solving the puzzles.（研究人員鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生在解謎時(shí)記住他們聽(tīng)到的音樂(lè)。）”可知此句是“學(xué)生們一邊聽(tīng)不同的音樂(lè)一邊做每一個(gè)謎題�！惫蔬xE。

【3】句意：然后學(xué)生們回家睡覺(jué)。

根據(jù)下文“他們得到了特殊的睡眠監(jiān)測(cè)和音樂(lè)設(shè)備。當(dāng)學(xué)生處于慢波睡眠階段時(shí)，這些設(shè)備播放與未解決的智力游戲相關(guān)的音樂(lè)。這個(gè)階段是人們有可能做夢(mèng)和重組記憶的時(shí)候�！笨芍�此句是“然后學(xué)生們回家睡覺(jué)�！惫蔬xD。

【4】句意：研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，他們解謎的可能性要高出55%。

根據(jù)上文“The next morning, the students tried the unsolved puzzles again.（第二天早上，學(xué)生們又試了一次未解決的謎題。）”可知此句是“研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，他們解謎的可能性要高出55%�！�。故選A。

【5】句意：這項(xiàng)研究是這些發(fā)現(xiàn)的更多證據(jù)。

根據(jù)上文“Former studies of both people and animals have shown that sleep can not only strengthen memory, but also help us organize and send information.（以前對(duì)人和動(dòng)物的研究都表明，睡眠不僅能增強(qiáng)記憶，還能幫助我們組織和發(fā)送信息。）”可知此句是“這項(xiàng)研究是這些發(fā)現(xiàn)的更多證據(jù)。”故選C。
