　　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．

　　When you are in another country, it is important to know the language, but it is equally important to know how to communicate nonverbally, before saying anything by making gestures．According to a pioneer in nonverbal(无需语言的)communication, only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal．When people don’t know the language, the most common way to communicate is through gestures．However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world．

　　In the United States, for example, nodding your head up and down means“yes”．In some parts of Greece and Turkey, however, this motion can mean“no”．In Southeast Asia, nodding your head is a polite way of saying“I’ve heard you”．

　　In ancient Rome, when the emperor wanted to spare someone’s life, he would put his thumb up．Today in the United States, when someone puts his/her thumb up, it means“Everything is all right”．However, in Sardinia and Greece, the gesture is insulting and should not be used there．

　　In the United States, raising your clasped hands above your head means“I’m the champion”or“I’m the winner”．It is the sign prizefighters make when they win a fight．When a leading Russian statesman made this gesture after a White House meeting, Americans misunderstood and thought he meant he was a winner．In Russia, however, it is a sign of friendship．

　　In the United States, holding your hand up with the thumb and index finger in a circle and the other three fingers spread out means“Everything is OK．”And is frequently used by astronauts and politicians．In France and Belgium, it can mean“You’re worth nothing．”

　　There are other nonverbal signals that that people should be aware of when they go to another country, such as the distance to maintain between speakers．Americans usually feel comfortable when speaking with someone if the distance between them is about eighteen inches to arm’s length．Anything closer makes them feel uncomfortable．

　　When talking to Americans, it is also important to make eye contact．If you look down when talking to an American, he/she may feel that you are embarrassed, afraid, or trying to hide something．

　　In addition to knowing how to communicate nonverbally in a country, it is important to know what you and he cannot discuss．In the United States, there are certain topics to avoid when you first meet someone．For example, don’t ask people their age, weight, religion, marital status, how much money they earn, or how much something costs．You can talk about work, the weather, traffic problems, sports, food, new, of the day, where one lives, consumer subjects(computers, car repairs, and so forth), and travel or vacation plans．

　　These few examples illustrate that your actions can speak louder than your words．In a particular cultural contest, what you say and what you don’t say are equally important．

(1)

Which of the following is true?
[　　]
A．	People all over the world only communicate verbally．
B．	Most of our gestures have no meaning at all．
C．	Some people think that 65 to 70 percent of our communication is nonverbal．
D．	Gestures are the most common way to communicate．

(2)

Please paraphrase the clause“…your actions can speak louder than your words”．
[　　]
A．	Your deeds are better than your words．
B．	What you do is better than what you say．
C．	You try to show your best manners．
D．	You are better understood by your gestures than through your words．

(3)

The main idea of the passage is that when you are in another country, ________．
[　　]
A．	it is unimportant to know the language
B．	it is important to know what you can talk about to a foreigner
C．	to know how to communicate nonverbally is as important as to know the language
D．	to communicate the rough gestures is more important than to know the language
