21、 That people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a phenomenon known as the “first-night” effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect.
Dr. Sasaki knew the “first- night” effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved. The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators (捕食者). This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing.
To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the university’s Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the participants’ brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the left hemispheres (半球) of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did.
Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying alert in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found.
【1】What did Dr. Yuka Sasaki find puzzling about the “first-night” effect?
A.To what extent it can trouble people.
B.Why it might be related to evolution.
C.What measures should be taken to solve it.
D.In what way it can be beneficial.
【2】What do we learn about the research from Paragraph 3?
A.The brain activity of participants’ sleeping was monitored in a new environment.
B.The participants were from the Department of Psychological Sciences.
C.The differences between the two sides of participants’ brains were studied.
D.The findings about birds and dolphins were tested on human subjects.
【3】Why did Dr. Yuka Sasaki re-run the experiment?
A.She wanted to know if humans do the same as birds and dolphins.
B.The previous experiment failed her expectation.
C.She wondered if human's left hemispheres stayed alert on the first night.
D.The "first-night" effect phenomenon was too tough for her to analyze.
【4】Which about the “first-night” effect can be concluded from the text?
A.It can be got rid of.
B.It contributes to sleepers’ keeping guard.
C.It can be improved.
D.It originates from sleeping patterns.
22、Most people are familiar with hoarding (囤积) and the psychological issues associated with it. Hoarding leads to messy homes and difficulty parting with items that you don’t use and don’t even need. But hoarding can also occur in the digital world.
Digital hoarding, also known as e-hoarding, is too much acquisition and reluctance (不情愿) to delete electronic material no longer valuable to the user. Most computer users save digital files to some extent, and that’s expected. With digital hoarding, however, the act of saving the files becomes an uncontrollable urge. Digital hoarders may collect emails, photos, articles; podcasts, or any type of computer files they believe they may want to revisit in the future, and ultimately, in most cases, they rarely get to actually use it or listen to it or read it.
Digital hoarding also occurs when someone is too attached to the data even to consider getting rid of it. This can include chats and photos of an old partner, texts sent by a long-lost friend, or even screenshots collected several years ago.
Researchers have categorized digital hoarders into 4 different types, according to their characteristics. “Collectors” are organized, systematic and in control of their data. “Accidental hoarders” are disorganized, don’t know what they have, and don’t have control over it. The “compliant hoarder” keeps data on behalf of their company. Finally, “anxious hoarders” have strong emotional ties to their data-and are worried about deleting it.
The problem has only gotten worse since we have more access to digital storage than ever. In addition, cloud storage makes it incredibly easy to purchase more storage as needed. With infinite cloud space, it’s logical when network users don’t think twice about saving files.
However, studies found that digital hoarders experience increased levels of stress and now researchers are observing that the negative consequences of digital hoarding may be similar to those physical hoarding. Therefore, it’s important to set time aside to have a good clear-out in the same way we do in the physical world. By organizing and getting rid of useless files in a regular way, people with this problem can ease some of their distress and clear their own mind as well.
【1】A digital hoarder tends to _____________.
A.have psychological problems
B.be unwilling to remove e-documents
C.revisit what they’ve stored frequently
D.have an urge to dispose of the data
【2】Which of the following belongs to an accidental hoarder?
A.Mike arranges all work and business-related data scientifically.
B.Tom is resistant to deleting anything about his ex-girlfriend.
C.Antony keeps the financial data of his company orderly.
D.Lauren’s camera roll is largely taken up by throwaway selfies.
【3】What contributes to a network user saving more e-material?
A.Easy access to limitless cloud storage.
B.Decreasing cost of digital storage.
C.Increasing stress from the loss of data.
D.Difficulty in recovering data.
【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Stress can’t be avoided for a digital hoarder.
B.It’s unnecessary to part with useless items at home.
C.Time should be set aside to clean rooms regularly.
D.E-files had better be cleared out on a regular basis.
23、 Have you seen the movie The Shawshank Redemption? If so, you might be moved by Andy, who tries to earn freedom by escaping the hopeless prison. It is hard to imagine what life would be like in prison. However, Old Melbourne Gaol gives us such a chance. It is a museum in Melbourne, which served as prison between 1842 and 1929.
We experienced being prisoners in the prison. All of us were asked to put down our belongings and then we were checked. We couldn’t hide anything. After a while, we were given cards with fake names and charges. We read the information loudly and then the “police” explained it in a funny way. For example, a gentleman’s charge was carrying an illegal weapon, which was actually just an umbrella.
Soon we were divided into groups and went to different rooms in the prison. The light was off inside. We could not see anything. All we could hear was our breath. It was the longest five minutes of my life. I was in a tiny room with a number of strangers. I could feel the same depression as the prisoners. The police finally opened the door and led us to the activity area. We relaxed in the sunlight and decided to behave ourselves in the future.
I think Australian museums are quite interesting. They not only add modern technology to historical relics, but also hold various activities for visitors.
【1】Why did the writer mention the movie in the first paragraph?
A.To introduce the story of the movie.
B.To tell readers about the main character Andy.

【2】How did the visitors experience being prisoners?
A.By taking few things with them.
B.By using different new names.
C.By carrying umbrellas as weapons.
D.By staying in dark rooms for five minutes.
【3】How did the visitors feel as prisoners?
A.Hopeless.
B.Encouraged.
C.Relaxed.
D.Funny.
【4】After going out of the rooms, the visitors decided to .
A.be a policeman
