         Do you know why you sleep? You may think it's because you're tired. Or perhaps you've been told sleep
    is good for you. Yet no one knows exactly why or how people sleep.
          Until the early 1950s, most scientists thought the body and brain rested during sleep. Then a scientist
    watched people sleep. He noticed that during periods of between 5 and 30 minutes, sleepers' eyes made
    rapid movements, as if they were watching something. He called these periods REM (Rapid Eye Movement)
    sleep. He called periods when sleeper's eyes did not move non-REM sleep.
         Whenever the scientist woke people during REM sleep, they were having vivid dreams. Measurements
    showed that sleepers' pulses (脉搏) went up quickly during REM sleep. Their breathing, heartbeat, and the
    blood going to the brain also increased. Far from being a time of rest, sleep is a time when the body is hard
    at work. Scientists still don't know the reason for this. Some believe REM sleep makes learning easier.
    Babies spend a lot of time on REM sleep. Because of this, some scientists believe that REM sleep helps
    the brain grow. Others think REM sleep is a time for the brain to empty the day's garbage.
          One thing all the scientists agree on is that sleep is necessary. Without enough sleep, people make
    mistakes. Most car accidents happen during the early morning hours, when people are sleepiest.
    1. During REM sleep, a person's breathing and heartbeat ______.
    A. stop

    A. easier
    B. large
    C. empty

    A. Paragraph 1

         We know the mosquito very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They can be found almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them.
         No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide that she loves you. She? Yes, she. It's true that
    male mosquito doesn't bite and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs. She is
    always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn't
    like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just
    remember you are chosen. You're different from the others!
         If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and
    quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch (痒) on your body
    because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. By the time the itching begins, she has
    flown away. 
         And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She just wants to find a
    place to have a good rest. There, on a leaf or a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs.
    1. In which part of a magazine can you probably read this article?
    A. Science World.
    B. News Report.
    C. Sports Square.
    D. Culture Corner.
    2. When a mosquito decides that she doesn't like your blood, she will  ______.
    A. land on your body
    B. feel very tired soon
    C. choose another one instead
    D. find a different kind of food
    3. The mosquito bites you ______.
    A. in order to have a good rest
    B. too quickly to let you know
    C. only if you're female
    D. when she gets angry with you
    4. Why do you have an itch after the mosquito bites you?
    A. Because she drinks too much.
    B. Because she bites so quietly.
    C. Because she lays eggs in your blood.
    D. Because she puts something special into your blood.
