During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping makes it possible for your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your body relaxes little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, you will dream from time to time. Scientists who study sleep point out that when you are dreaming, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people suggest breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.41.

Until that time, scientists had mostly observed and studied chimpanzees in laboratories and zoos. Few scientists had gone to study chimpanzees in the remote areas of Africa where the chimps live. When scientists had studied the chimpanzees in the wild, they hadn't spent long periods of time observing them. Jane Goodall planned to watch chimpanzees in Africa over a ten-year period and see exactly how they behaved. She was not a professional scientist when she started out. Her book, "In the Shadow of Man", tells how she began her project and what she discovered.As Goodall said in 1973, "I had no qualifications at all. I was just somebody with a love of animals". Her love of animals drew her to Africa where she met Dr. Louis S.B. Leakey. Leakey was a world-famous scientist who was studying how prehistoric people lived. Since chimpanzees are humans' closest living relatives, Leakey thought prehistoric people might have lived in the same ways that chimpanzees live today. Leakey told Goodall that studying chimpanzees might give clues about the way that early people lived.Leakey asked Goodall to study the chimpanzees on the shores of Lake Tanganyika in Africa. The chimpanzees were very shy and the country was very difficult to travel through. Goodall took on the difficult job of finding and watching the chimpanzees.46. Jane Goodall decided to study chimpanzees ____.A. because she was working in a laboratoryB. when she was doing research for a bookC. because of her scientific work in EnglandD. out of her love for animals47. Jane Goodall was different from other people who had studied chimpanzees because she_________.A. was a professional scientist and had been trained by Dr. LeakeyB. observed the animal both in the wild and in laboratories and zoosC. observed chimpanzees in their natural surroundings over a long period of timeD. was more qualified than most other scientists48. The word closest in meaning to "remote" is ____.A. famousB. suitableC. criticalD. distant49. According to the information, finding chimpanzees in Africa would be a difficult task for Jane because____.A. the animals would stay away from humansB. the chimpanzees may not remain in the area for ten years.C. Jane would have to identify areas where prehistoric people had lived.D. Dr. Leakey was not aware of the conditions in which the chimpanzees lived.50. The title of Jane Goodall's book ______.A. reflects Jane's passion for her workB. hints at the difficulties that Jane facedC. emphasized the link between chimps and mankindD. indicates her experience mirrored that of other scientists.CAbout ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green －a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also mi llions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night.One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.51. The passage is mainly about _____________.A. color and its surprising effects.B. women being luckier than menC. danger caused by color blindnessD. color blindness52.

Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?A. Women are more careful.B. There are fewer color-blind womenC. Women are fonder of driving than men.D.

None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.D. All of them see everything in shades of green.55. We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a _____________.A. red lightB. yellow lightC. blue lightD. green lightD阅读下面三则广告,回答问题。
