It is often said that the best way to get to the bottom of a hard problem is to? ?11? ?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） and reorganizing （重組） memory. This can help you solve problems.

The researchers did a（n）? ?12? ?on 57 university students. They asked students to solve 42 difficult puzzles on the first day. Students? ?13? ?each puzzle while listening to different music. The research encouraged students to remember the music they heard while solving the puzzles.? ?14? ?of the day， there were six puzzles that the students still hadnt solved.

The students then? ?15? ? home to sleep. They were given special sleep-monitoring （睡眠監(jiān)測） and music devices （設(shè)備）. The devices played music linked with the unsolved puzzles? ?16? ? ? the students were in the slow-wave （慢波） sleep stage. This stage is when people are? ?17? ?to dream and reorganize their memories.

The? ?18? ?morning， the students tried the unsolved puzzles again. Researchers found they were 55 percent more likely to solve them. The music activated （激活） the memories they had of the puzzles while they were sleeping. It? ?19? ?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. This study is more evidence （證據(jù)） of these findings. So the next time you face a（n）? ?20? ?problem， sleep on it. Play some music to remind yourself of the problem.

（? ? ）11. A. work B. sing C. sleep

（? ? ）12. A. research B. test C. experiment

A）閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容判斷所給句子正（T）誤（F）。（共5小題，每小題2分）

Writer Walter Dean Myers died at the age of 76. Walter Dean Myers was the writer of more than 100 books for children and young adults and received many top awards （獎）.

The writer was loved because he vividly （生動逼真地） described the lives of African American children， and his books for young people covered different subjects.

Myers was born in 1937 and was adopted （收養(yǎng)） by Florence Dean and Herbert after his mother died when he was 18 months old. They loved him very much and his mother read to him from a very young age. Reading pushed him to discover worlds beyond his landscape （視野）. He began writing at an early age. He wrote well in high school and an English teacher found this and suggested him keep on writing no matter what happened to him. “Its what you do，” she said.

Myers dropped out of high school at 17 and joined the army. After finishing his service， he entered a dark period in his life. He began writing at night to get through that miserable time.

In a New York Times article published earlier this year， Myers described how a short story by James Baldwin helped change the course of his life. “I didnt love the story， but I was encouraged by it，” he wrote， “for it took place in Harlem， and it was a story about black people like those I knew. By educating the people who were like me， Baldwins story also educated me. The story gave me a permission （允許） that I didnt know I needed， the permission to write about my own landscape， my own map.”

“I write books for the troubled boy I once was，” he wrote， “and for the boy who lives within me still.”

（? ? ）21. What makes Myers books popular is that he wrote about real life on different subjects.

（? ? ）22. The underlined word “miserable” probably means unhappy.

（? ? ）23. The short story by James Baldwin was so important for Myers because it encouraged him to work on his writing.

（? ? ）24. Myers led a wonderful life after high school.

（? ? ）25. Myers once had a chance to go to college.

Bananas are the perfect snack. Not only are they sweet and delicious， but they are easy to carry around， so you can take them anywhere. 41. 最棒的是，香蕉提供了人體需要的不同的東西！

Bananas grow best in warm places that get lots of rain. 42. 它們長在看起來像樹的植物上。The banana plant， however， is considered a herb rather than a tree because it doesnt have a strong， woody stem （莖，干）. The plants can grow as high as 30 feet. When they reach their full height， flowers grow out from the stem. These flowers produce bananas.

43. Two or three times each year， the plants produce fruit. The bananas grow together， which seem like “hands”. A hand is made up of 10 to 20 bananas. Growers sometimes call bananas “fingers”. Each bunch （叢） of bananas has about 15 hands， and so a whole bunch may have as many as 200 bananas and can weigh more than 100 pounds.

After about three months， the bananas are ready to be picked. At this point， they still arent the sunny yellow color of bananas. 44. 農(nóng)民們在它們還是綠色的時候采摘。Thats how theyre shipped to stores. They turn yellow along the way and are ready to be sold.

If you love bananas， youve got a lot of company. 45. Americans have been enjoying bananas since the first ship of bananas arrived in the United States in 1876. Today， Americans eat more bananas than any other fruit. More bananas are sold than apples and grapes together. Every American eats over 26 pounds of bananas each year！

Reading is fun. When you read， would you like a paper book or an e-book（電子書）？ Some people choose e-books， some love paper books， and others prefer reading both.

Li Ming， a university professor （教授）， is busy doing some research. So he is often on business. When he is at the airport or on the train， he especially loves reading e-books. He also likes reading paper books in the library for the research work. Besides， he enjoys the smell of the paper books.

Whats more， Li Ming would like to read with his family. There is a reading time from 8：00 to 9：00 each Friday evening at home. Everyone reads and shares what they learn from the books. One Friday evening， Grandma took out an old paper book and said to her grandson， “Li Ming， this is the first book your grandpa gave me. There is his name on the front page. Whenever I read it， I can get something new from his notes. And I can still remember the happy life we lived together.” Li Ming said， “But I enjoy reading e-books. E-books need no paper. Many forests will be saved.” Grandma advised， “Dont read for a long time， or your eyes will get sore.”

Different people have different ideas about e-books and paper books. No one knows whether e-books can replace （代替） paper books or not. Somehow， books are our friends. No matter which kind of books you choose to read， you can learn more about the world through them.

46. Do all the people prefer reading e-books？

47. When is the reading time in Li Mings family？

48. What does the old paper book mean to Grandma？

49. What did Li Ming enjoy reading， paper books or e-books？

50. Do you think e-books will replace paper books in your life？ Why or why not？
