(10 points)Sleep is divided into periods of so-called REM sleep, characterized by rapid eye
24、movements and dreaming, and longer periods of non-REM sleep. kind of sleep is at all well-understood, but REM sleep is to serve some restorative function of the brain. The purpose of non-REM sleep is even more . The new experiments, such as those for the first time at a recent meeting of the Society
25、 for Sleep Research in Minneapolis, suggest fascinating explanations of non-REM sleep.For example, it has long been known that total sleep is 100 percent fatal to rats, yet, examination of the dead bodies, the animals look completely normal.

It serves directly to assist a rapid distribution of goods at reasonable prices, thereby establishing a firm home market and so making it possible to
30、provide for export at competitive prices. By drawing attention to new ideas it helps enormously to raise standards of living. By helping to increase demand it ensures an increased need for labour, and is therefore an effective way to fight unemployment. It lowers the costs of many services: without
31、advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as much, the price of your television license would need to be doubled and travel by bus or tube would cost 20 per cent more.And perhaps most important of all, advertising provides a guarantee of reasonable value in the products and services
32、you buy. Apart from the fact that twenty-seven Acts of Parliament govern the terms of advertising, no regular advertiser dare promote a product that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements. He might fool some people for a little while through misleading advertising. He will not do so f
33、or long, for mercifully the public has the good sense not to buy the inferior article more than once. If you see an article consistently advertised, it is the surest proof I know that the article does what is claimed for it, and that it represents good value.Advertising does more for the material be
34、nefit of the community than any other force I can think of.There is one point I feel I ought to touch on. Recently I heard a well-known television personality declare that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs. He was drawing excessively fine distinctions. Of course adv
35、ertising seeks to persuade.If its message were confined merely to information - and that in itself would be difficult if not impossible to achieve, for even a detail such as the choice of the colour of a shirt is subtly persuasive - advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention.
36、 But perhaps that is what the well-known television personality wants.51.By the first sentence of the passage the author means that _.A he is fairly familiar with the cost of advertisingB everybody knows well that advertising is money consumingC advertising costs money like everything else（D）D it is
37、 worthwhile to spend money on advertising52.In the passage, which of the following is NOT included in the advantages of advertising?A Securing greater fame.B Providing more jobs.C Enhancing living standards.（A）D Reducing newspaper cost.53.The author deems that the well-known TV personality is _.A ve
38、ry precise in passing his judgment on advertisingB interested in nothing but the buyers attentionC correct in telling the difference between persuasion and information（D）D obviously partial in his views on advertising54.In the authors opinion, _.A advertising can seldom bring material benefit to man
39、 by providing informationB advertising informs people of new ideas rather than wins them overC there is nothing wrong with advertising in persuading the buyer（C）D the buyer is not interested in getting information from an advertisementText 2There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, t
40、he other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external result or product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language - all these are examples of people who have meas
41、urable results to show for their efforts.By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people ha
42、ve, their caution or courage, as they encounter new experiences and unexpected obstacles. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willing
43、ness to take risks, to confront the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow. Do we perceive ourselves as quick and curious? If so, then we tend to take more chances and to be more open
44、 to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think were shy and indecisive? Then our sense of timidity can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe. Do we think were slow to adapt to change or that were not smart enough to cope with a new challenge? Then we
45、are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not confront and overcome these internal fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we cease to grow. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.55.A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when _.A he has given up his smoking habitB he has made great efforts in his workC he is keen on leaning anything new（A）D he
