It sounds almost too good to be true，but a new study on sleeping brains suggests that listening to languages while you sleep can actually help you to learn them．
For the study，researchers played recordings of foreign words and their translations to subjects enjoying slow-wave sleep，a stage when a person has 1ittle consciousness of their environment．To ensure that the results were not compromised by foreign language words that subjects may have had some contact with at some point in their waking lives，researchers made up totally nonexistent foreign words．
When the subjects woke up，they were presented with the made-up words again without their translations．The subjects were then asked to imagine whether this made-up word indicated an object that was either smaller or larger．This vague(模糊的)way of testing their understanding of the words is an approach that is supposed to tap into the unconscious memory． Unbelievably，the subjects were able to correctly classify the words in this way at an accuracy rate that was 10 percent higher than random chance．That’s not a rate high enough to have them suddenly communicating in a foreign tongue，but it is enough to suggest that the brain is still absorbing information on some level，even during sleep．
Researchers have long known that sleep is important for memory，but previously its role in memory was thought to relate only to the preservation and organization of memories acquired during wakefulness．This is the first time that memory formation has been shown to be active during sleep．
In other words，our brains are listening to the world，and learning about it，even when our conscious selves are not present． The next step for researchers will be to see if new information can be 1earned quicker during wakefulness if it was already presented during sleep．If so，it could forever change how we train our brains to learn new things．Sleep learning might become a widespread practice．
62．Why did researchers use some made-up words in the study? A．To guarantee the accuracy of the test result． B．To increase the difficulty of testing information． C．To avoid the subjects cheating in the experiment． D．To test if our brain are good at learning something new． 63．What were the subjects asked to do in the study? A．Classify what they heard by size．
B．Make up a word to represent“large”or“small”． C．Repeat the words they heard in the sleep． D．Imagine the meanings of the made-up words． 64．What conclusion did researchers draw from this study?
A．Sleep is necessary for a good memory． B．Memory formation goes on during sleep． C．Listening during sleep is good for our brain． D．Learning languages in sleep has better effects． 65．What will be the researchers’next plan? A．To train people how to learn during sleep． B．To prove the existence of unconscious memory． C．To dig out the reason for unconscious learning．
D．To study the effect of sleep learning on conscious learning．
A good book is indeed the best friend of a person. The same goes for high-profile CEOs of world recognized companies as well. Let’s have a look at the favorite books of some of the world-famous CEOs. Apple CEO—Tim Cook, Competing against Time by George Stalk Jr. and Thomas M. Hout

Microsoft CEO(Former)—Bill Gates, The Catcher in the Rye by J.D．Salinger
A few themes explored in the novel are rebellion, anxiety and confusion. It tells that young people are a little confused, （叛逆）but can be smart about things and see things that adults don’t really see. Gates said, “ I didn’t actually read The Catcher in the Rye until I was 13, and ever since then I’ve said that's my favorite book.” Oracle CEO—Larry Ellison, Napoleon by Vincent Cronin

During the two and a half years since I settled down in Germany, I’ve caught a cold several times and gotten to experience how different German cold remedies (疗法）are from the Chinese ones.
Back in Taiwan, whenever I had a streaming nose and a dry throat, I’d rush to the hospital to get prescribed medicine. For a fever, I would receive a red pill, which I now know is a type of antibiotic (抗生素).
Another thing I know now is that the criminal behind my cold is a virus. The drugs I used only relieved the symptoms. When I went to a German hospital intending to get some medicine to treat my cold, I got nothing more than a pat on my shoulder and words from the doctor, saying that I should get some really good rest. The first time this happened, I was shocked. I wondered how I could put up with my sickness without the help of medicine. But the longer I stayed in Germany, the better I knew how to self-medicate as other Germans do.
I learned to take vitamin C to build up my resistance. But what I like the most is drinking “Erkaltungstee”. For German people, Erkaltungstee is what their grandmother gives them when they catch a cold. It’s a tea bag mainly made of lime flower and orange rind. Another popular cold remedy in Germany is chicken soup. During my first winter in Germany, I got a really bad cold. My neighbor brought me a bowl of chicken soup to make me feel better. It contained a lot of ginger, onion, garlic, carrots and celery. Germans believe these ingredients are perfect for helping your body recover. 69．How did the author feel after seeing the German doctor? A．Relieved. C．Satisfied.
B．Surprised. D．Stressed.
70．According to the author, what effect do antibiotics have on his cold? A．They cure his cold. C．They kill the virus in him.
B．They prevent the disease. D．They make him feel better.
71．What do Germans think of “Erkaltungstee”? A．It can replace any cold remedy. C．It’s a good way to self-medicate. 72．What can we infer from the text?
B．It can build up one’s resistance. D．It’s better than chicken soup.
A．Germans tend not to use antibiotics to treat cold. B．The author often catches a cold in Taiwan. C．The author seldom drinks chicken soup. D．German doctors are cold to patients.
Charity Cycling UK has recently launched a campaign to raise awareness of dooring after discovering that many people don’t know what it is and those that do seem to think it’s a joke. Dooring happens when a driver or passenger opens the door into another road user - typically a cyclist - without looking for other road users.
Cycling UK’s chief executive Paul Tuohy told Gloucestershire Live, “Some people seem to see car dooring as a bit of a joke, but it’s not and can have serious consequences. Cycling UK wants to see great awareness made about the dangers of opening your car door, and people to be encouraged to look before they open.”
The charity says 2,009 of the 3,000 injuries were sustained(遭受) by cyclists, resulting in five deaths but says this might not be the full extent of the dangers.
Cycling UK says not all car dooring incidents will be attended by police, so the charity has written to transport minister Jesse Norman calling for a public awareness campaign urging all drivers to look before opening vehicle doors. One of the ways that the charity suggests could prevent injuries through dooring is the “Dutch Reach”, where people leaving a vehicle reach over and use the non-door side hand to open the door.
Cycling UK also suggests serious laws and advice on safer road positioning for people who cycle.
Mr Tuohy said, “In the Netherlands they are known for practising a method, known sometimes as the ‘Dutch Reach’, which we think could be successfully encouraged in the UK.”
“Cycling UK has written to the Department for Transport asking them to look into this, and stress the dangers of ‘car dooring’ through a public awareness THINK style campaign.”
If you’re really concerned about opening a door into the path of a cyclist coming behind you, consider using what’s known as the “Dutch Reach” to open the door. That will naturally turn you in your seat and give you a much better view of what’s coming up alongside the car.
73．Why does the author mention the figures in Paragraph 3? A．To arouse wide public concern. C．To show the dangers of car dooring.
B．To describe the terrible accident. D．To stress the importance of traffic safety.
74．While doing the Dutch Reach, you should ______. A．stand up from your seat
C．use inside hand to open the car door 75．What can be learned from the text?
B．open the car door politely
D．use outside hand to open the car door
