共用题干第二篇Not all sleep is the same every night.We experience some deep,quiet sleep and some active sleep,which is when dreams happen.You might think sleepwalking would happen during active sleep,but a person isn't physically active during active sleep.Sleepwalking usually happens in the first few hours of sleep in the stage called slow-wave or deep sleep.Not all sleepwalkers actually walk.Some simply sit up or stand in bed or act like they're awake when in fact,they're asleep! Most,however,do get up and move around for a few seconds or for as long as haff an hour.Sleepwalkers' eyes are open,but they don't see the same way they do when they're awake and often think they're in different rooms of the house or different places altogether. Sleepwalkers tend to go back to bed on their own and they won't remember it in the morning.Researchers estimate that about 15% of kids sleepwalk regularly. Sleepwalking may run in families（在家族中世代相传）and sometimes occurs when a person is sick, has a fever, is not getting enough sleep,or is stressed（紧张）.If sleepwalking occurs frequently,every night or so,it's a good idea for your mom or dad to take you to see your doctor. But occasional sleepwalking generally isn't something to worry about,although it may look funny or even scary（骇人的）for the people who see a sleepwalker in action.Although occasional sleepwalking isn't a big deal,it's important,of course,that the person is kept safe. Precautions（预防措施）should be taken so the person is less likely to fall down, run into something,or walk out the front door while sleepwalking.What most sleepwalkers do is to_________.A:simply sit upB:simply stand in bedC:get up and walk for some timeD:get up and walk for hours

问答题Practice 10　　Like most creatures on earth, humans come equipped with a circadian clock, a roughly 24-hour internal timer that keeps our sleep patterns in sync with our planet. At least until genetics, age and our personal habits get in the way. Even though the average adult needs eight hours of sleep per night, there are “short-sleepers,” who need far less, and morning people, who, research shows, often come from families of other morning people. Then there’s the rest of us, who rely on alarm clocks.　　For those who fantasize about greeting the dawn, there is hope. Sleep experts say that with a little discipline (well, actually, a lot of discipline), most people can reset their circadian clocks. But it’s not as simple as forcing yourself to go to bed earlier (you can’t make a wide-awake brain sleep). It requires inducing a sort of jet lag without leaving your time zone. And sticking it out until your body clock resets itself. And then not resetting it again.　　To start, move up your wake-up time by 20 minutes a day. If you regularly rise at 8 a.m., but really want to get moving at 6 a.m., set the alarm for 7：40 on Monday. The next day, set it for 7：20 and so on. Then, after you wake up, don’t linger in bed. Hit yourself with light. In theory, you’ll gradually get sleepy about 20 minutes earlier each night, and you can facilitate the transition by avoiding extra light exposure from computers or televisions as you near bedtime.　　But recalibrating your inner clock requires more commitment than many people care to give. For some, it’s almost impossible. Very early risers and longtime night owls have a hard time ever changing. Night-shift workers also struggle because they don’t get the environmental and social cues that help adjust the circadian clock.
