　　Going to sleep may seem pretty boring compared with all the fun things there are to do while you're awake．But there's a lot going on in your mind and body while you're tucked under those covers．

　　Sleep, in fact, is as important to your survival as eating and drinking．Sleep improves your mood, makes you a better athlete, and helps you remember and understand what you learned during the day．During sleep your temperature drops．Your heart rate slows．Down goes the pressure of the blood moving through your veins．A chemical that controls growth(called a hormone)surges into your bloodstream．Scientists think sleep restores energy and improves your immune(免疫)system．We know what happens while we're asleep because scientists study volunteers who sleep in laboratories．The sleepers are hooked up to machines that measure brain waves, eye movements and muscle activities．

　　Sleep is like a school day：it's divided into different periods, or stages．When you're awake, your brain waves fire rapidly．As you begin to relax and drift into the first stage of sleep, your brain produces slower-moving waves and you lose awareness of your surroundings．As you slide to deeper sleep, your body repairs itself from the normal wear and tear of daily life．Then, as you begin to drift back up to a lighter sleep, your mind becomes more alert(机警), and your dreams begin．You're in REM sleep．

　　REM was names far the“rapid eye movement' that happens while you're dreaming．During REM sleep, your eyes move back and forth behind your timed lids, as though you were washing a movie．During other stages, you might move at that in bed, but during REM sleep you're still．That's probably because if you could move, your body would act out your dreams．As you get closer to morning, you spend more time in REM than in deep sleep, so you dream more．Researchers know that during REM sleep the part of the brain that handles learning and thinking is very active．

　　Getting too little sleep can affect your personality．Experts recommend that children get at least nine hours d sleep a night．So sleep fight．

　　Smith married a Mexican woman, and they had four children－three girls and one boy．He spent a lot of time learning the customs, manners, and language of the Mexican settlers．When the Texas Revolution began in 1835, Smith at first refused to take part in it out of respect for his family's heritage(传统)．However, after Mexican troops tried to stop him from going to San Antonio to visit his family, he volunteered for service with the Texans．He was made a captain．

　　In Europe, men do not usually wear skirts. But the Scottish national clothing for men is a kind of skirt. It is called a kilt. The Scottish like to be different. They are also proud of their country and its history, and they feel that the kilt is part of that history. That's why the men still wear kilts at traditional (传统的) dances and on national holidays. They believe they are wearing the same clothes that Scottish men always used to wear.

　　That's what they believe. However, kilts are not really so old. Before 1730, Scottish men wore a long shirt and blanket around their shoulders. These clothes got in the way when the men started to work in factories. So, in 1730 a factory owner changed the blanket into a skirt; the kilt. That's how the first kilt was made.

　　Then, in the late 1700s Scottish soldiers in the British Army began to wear kilts. One reason for this was national sentiment ( = feelings) . The Scottish soldiers wanted to be different from the English soldiers. The British Army probably had a different reason. A Scottish soldier in a kilt was always easy to find! The Scottish soldier fought very hard and became famous. The kilt was part of the fame, and in the early 1800s men all around Scotland began to wear kilts.

　　These kilts had colorful stripes (条纹) going up and down and across. In the 1700s and early 1800s, the color of the stripes had no special meaning. Men sometimes owned kilts in several different colors. But later the colors became important to the Scottish families. By about 1850, most families had special colors for their kilts. For example, men from the Campbell family had kilts with green, yellow and blue stripes. Scottish people often believe that the colors of the kilts are part of their family history. In fact, each family just chose the color they liked best.

　　This is not the story you will hear today if you are in Scotland. Most Scottish people still believe that kilts are as old as Scotland and that the colors are as old as the Scottish families. Sometimes feelings are stronger than facts!

1．This text is mainly about ________.

A．soldiers' clothes in Britain

B．the history of Scotland

C．a special kind of skirt

D．Scottish families

2．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．The English soldiers were the first to wear kilts.

B．It was hard then to tell the Scottish soldiers from the English ones apart from the clothes.

C．Colors were specially designed in the first kilts.

D．The factory owner made the first kilt from long shirts to make his workers different from others.

3．Scottish soldiers were dressed in kilts partly because of ________.

A．the colors

B．the weather

C．national sentiment

D．the design

4．The colors of the kilts are ________.

[　　]

A．not part of the Scottish family history

B．older than the Scottish family history

C．for the Campbell family only

D．mainly green, yellow and blue

5．From the last paragraph we can infer that ________.

[　　]

A．the European people are full of strong feelings

B．there are no stories about kilts in Scotland today

C．the British like to do things on feelings, not on facts

D．the Scottish prefer to keep their tradition rather than believe the fact

　　Our boat floated on, between walls of forest too thick to allow us a view of the land we were passing through, though we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through chains of hills which crossed the jungle plains．Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed：where the jungle did not actually spread right down into the river, banks of soft mud prevented us going ashore．In any case, what would we have sailed by landing?The country was full of snakes and other dangerous creatures, and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance only slowly, cutting one’s way with knives the whole way．So we stayed in the boat, hoping we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman would pick us up and take us to civilization．

　　We lived on fish, caught with home-made net of string(we had no hooks), and fruits and nuts we could pick up out of the water．As we had no fire, we had to eat everything, including the fish, raw I had never tasted raw fish before, and I must say I did not much enjoy the experience; perhaps sea fish which do not live in the mud are less tasteless．After eating my raw fish, I lay back and dreamed of such things as fried chicken and rice, and ice-cream．In the never-ending damp heat of the jungle, ice-cream was a particularly frequent dream．

　　As for water, there was a choice：we could drink the muddy river water, or die of thirst．We drank the water．Men who had just escaped what had appeared to be certain death lose all worries about such small things as diseases caused by dirty water．In fact, none of us suffered from any illness as a result．

　Our boat floated on, between walls of forest which were too thick to allow us a view of the land we were
passing through, although we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through
chains of hills which crossed the jungle plains. Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed:
where the jungle did not actually spread down into the river, banks of soft mud prevented us going ashore.
In any case, what would we have gained by landing? The country was full of snakes and other dangerous
creatures and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance only slowly, cutting one's way with
knives the whole way. So we stayed in the boat, hoping that when we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman
would pick us up and take us to civilization. 　　
We lived on fish, any fruit and nuts we could pick up out of the water. As we had no fire, we had to eat
everything, including the fish, raw. I had never tasted raw fish before, and I must say I did not much enjoy
the experience: perhaps sea-fish which don't live in the mud are less tasteless. After eating my fish, I lay back
and dreamed of such things as fried chicken and rice, and ice cream. In the never-ending heat of the jungle, ice
cream was a particularly frequent dream.　　
As for water, there was a choice. We could drink the muddy river water, or die of thirst. We drank the
water. Men who have just escaped what had appeared to certain death lose all worries about such small things
as diseases caused by dirty water. In fact, none of us suffered from any illness as a result. One day we passed
another village, but fortunately nobody saw us. We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time:
we might not be so lucky as to escape in a stolen boat again.

1. The only thing that they could see in the boat was _______. 　　

A. chains of hills 　　　　
B. high walls
C. vast land 　　　　　　　
D. tall trees 　

2. They were prevented from landing because they could not _______. 　　

A. find the place marked on the map 　　　　
B. go through the thick forest 　　
C. go across the soft mud 　　　　　　　　　
D. see the plains 　

3. This passage is mainly about ______. 　　

A. the problem of landing 　　　　
B. a terrible experience 　　
C. walls of forest　　　　　　　　
D. the fishermen's worries 　

4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? 　　

A. The author and his partners were trapped during scientific exploration. 　　
B. They were floating on a small boat in the jungle without help. 　　
C. The dirty water they drank didn't threaten their lives. 　　
D. They had no food or drinking water prepared.
