27、Perhaps you have seen them, those who fall asleep on the subway and then, somehow, wake up exactly at their stop. Perhaps you are one of them. How is this possible? We spoke to two doctors, who offered their insights about it.
It is possible that your body gets used to waking up at a certain point each time during your commute, said Dr. Marc I. Leavey, a primary-care specialist in Maryland. That holds especially true if you commute at the same time every day. This suggests that if you were to get on at a different time, or if the journey were delayed, your internal clock might not wake you up at your stop. It is an interesting theory, but Dr. Ronald Chervin, director of Michigan Medicine’s Sleep Disorders Centers, does not fully buy it. He is skeptical that circadian rhythms can also explain why you wake up after a brief nap.
You are also likely to wake up for your particular stop because of an oral cue, such as the conductor stating the name of the subway stop over the public-address system. Such cues alert your brain that you have arrived, explained Dr Leavey. According to a study published in the Public Library of Science, during sleep, our brain reacts differently when we hear our own name and other people’s names, noted Dr Chervin. This suggests that your brain does not turn off during sleep, which makes it possible to pick up on the announcement of your stop.
Another reasonable possibility: You may wake up at each stop, check if it is yours, and go back to sleep, all without having remembered it, added Dr. Chervin. He sees this in cases where patients are suffering from sleep apnea. They may wake up as many as 200 times during a single night, without having remembered a single instance. That’s because they fall right back asleep before their brain has time to process their experience into long-term memory. Similarly, you could be waking up every time you hear a new stop called. But you just don’t remember such instances even after you fully come awake for your stop—leading you to believe that you have slept the whole way through and miraculously woken up at the right time.
【1】According to Dr Leavey, which of the following might wake you up at your stop?
A．Sense of time.
B．Sleep apnea.
C．Internal clock.
D．Oral communication.
【2】What does the underlined expression “doesn’t fully buy it” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．He can’t agree more.
B．He can’t catch it well.
C．He doesn’t like it at all.
D．He doesn’t totally believe it.
【3】How will our brain react when we hear our name called during sleep?
A．Actively.
B．Passively.
C．Differently.
D．Casually.
【4】How does Dr. Chervin explain his findings in the last paragraph?
A．By introducing a concept.
B．By making a comparison.
C．By using an expert’s words.
D．By referring to another study.
28、 Kids often ask questions like those that are hard or not possible to answer, and adults tend to respond with explanations that try to solve the problem. It is natural to try to comfort a kid who is feeling puzzled by the world. But simple explanations may not be what the child expects or wants. Sometimes, kids simply want to talk about their questions and thought.
I'm a philosopher (哲学家) and educator who has been listening to children and talking with them about their big philosophical questions for the past 25 years. I encourage all young people to think for themselves about problems that matter to them because it's important for them to learn how to understand their own experiences.
Most kids start wondering about big questions almost as soon as they learn to speak, and they continue to think about them throughout childhood. Being full of curiosity about things that most adults take for granted, children all over the world are wide open to the mysterious that AI human life. Research shows, though, that as they get older, kids ask questions less and less.
While children do need adults' help and guidance, parents don't always have to act as an expert providing the answers. Thinking with children about their bigger questions can make Way for more communication. Since these kinds of questions tend not to have settled and final answers, discussions about them allow parents and children to wonder together. In this way, adults feel less pressure to be the experts.
Kids have few long-held beliefs about how the world works and they are open to many possibilities. In discussions about bigger questions, kids often suggest original and creative ways of looking at them. Talking with kids about what they are thinking can help parents explore their own concerns and ideas. Especially now, as families are separated together in a time of great uncertainty, these conversations have the possibility to allow parents and children to communicate more deeply and in a traditional way.
【1】What is parents' usual response to their kids' question?
A.Offer kids answers. B.Praise their curiosity.
C.Ignore their questions. D.Explore the puzzle together.
【2】What might the author suggest young people do?
A.Think independently. B.Turn to educators for help.
C.Be curious about the world. D.Learn from others experience.
【3】What is kids' attitude towards questions when they grow up?
A.They need adults' more help.
B.They are wider open to questions.
C.They tend to ask questions less frequently.
D.They are more interested in asking bigger questions.
【4】What will probably happen if parents stop being expert?
A.Kids will not follow parents' guidance.
B.Parents and kids will become separated.
C.Kids will have more uncertainty for their future.
D.Their relationship with their kids will be deepened.
29、A blind man and a woman born with spina bifida (脊柱裂) overcame all difficulties together with the purpose of climbing mountaintops.
Melanie Knecht was born with spina bifida, and Trevor Hahn had lost his sight 5 years ago. “It just seemed like common sense,” Knecht said. “He’s the legs and I’m the eyes. Together, we’re the dream team.”
They met at a rock climbing class and got to know of their love of nature. Knecht had spent her childhood camping outdoors, and had been to Easter Island recently and climbed high cliffs (峭壁) in a carrier placed on someone’s back.
Hahn was also an outdoor sports person, and even after he lost his sight, he kept at it. They two decided to go out into the Colorado wilderness. So Knecht is secured in a carrier, and lifted by a friend onto Hahn’s back, and Hahn hikes along the path with Knecht giving him directions. “I describe everything I see and exactly how Hahn needs to move,” Knecht said.
They love the fact that when hiking together, they are able to give the opportunity to each other to do what may seem impossible. “It made me so happy to help someone experience what I’ve been able to experience in my life,” Hahn said. Knecht is able to feel free. “I’ve been in a wheelchair my whole life, and it’s an amazing feeling to leave it,” she said.
These two are now encouraging the physically healthy people to think more about helping their friends with disabilities. “Ask questions of people with disabilities, to see what they like and what they want to do. Don’t include them because you think they won’t be able to do something,” Knecht said.

31、
When it comes to food coloring, why should we have to prove just exactly how and why the substance causes a negative effect on the people who consume it before we can 【1】 it ? If this were a necessary or meaningful food ingredient (材料) in any way, sure, that would be a reasonable standard. But food coloring has no nutritional value. Why are we 【2】 it?
Most likely because it helps companies sell products. Pretty food pays off because aesthetics (美学) in food does 【3】. We have relied on 【4】 cues (暗示) for thousands of years to help us determine what is edible, nutritious, and safe to eat. Man has adapted to appreciating natural colors, including a varity of green, red, pink, orange, yellow, and purple produce. Colors 【5】 that food is ripe (成熟的) or that it contains healthy compounds. Because of that 【6】 background, color is money for food manufacturers. Children are especially attracted to a variety of bright, vibrant colors and succumb to (屈从于) targeted marketing.
Food aesthetics can also affect how we look at taste. In one study, when subjects were given sugar water in different 【7】 of red, they reported that the deep red drinks tasted sweeter than the light red ones. We’ve been programmed to expected certain things from certain colors. Another study showed people had a harder time 【8】 drink flavors when the drinks did not have the expected colors. We expected what nature has taught us, and even though our food system has changed dramatically in the past several decades, our expectations have yet to 【9】 up. Food companies can instead use this knowledge to 【10】 us and make their processed products appear more delicious.
