Reading Comprehension （ 15×2 = 30 ） TEXT A Birds that are literally half-asleep—with one brain hemisphere alert and the other sleeping—control which side of the brain remains awake, according to a new study of sleeping ducks. Earlier studies have documented half-brain sleep in a wide range of birds. The brain hemispheres take turns sinking into the sleep stage characterized by slow brain waves. The eye controlled by the sleeping hemisphere keeps shut, while the wakeful hemisphere’s eye stays open and alert. Birds also can sleep with both hemispheres resting at once. Earlier studies have documented half-brain sleep in a wide range of birds. The brain hemispheres take turns sinking into the sleep stage characterized by slow brain waves. The eye controlled by the sleeping hemisphere keeps shut, while the wakeful hemisphere’s eye stays open and alert. Birds also can sleep with both hemispheres resting at once
Decades of studies of bird flocks led researchers to predict extra alertness in the more vulnerable,end-of-the-row sleepers,Sure enough,the end birds tended to watch carefully on the side away from their companions.Ducks in the inner spots showed no preference for gaze direction. Also,birds dozing (at the end of the line resorted to single-hemisphere sleep,rather than total relaxation,more often than inner ducks did.Rotating 16 birds through the positions in a four-duck row,the researchers found outer birds half-asleep during some 32 percent of dozing time versus about 12 percent for birds in internal spots. "We believe this is the first evidence for an animal behaviorally controlling sleep and wakefulness simultaneously in different regions of the brain,"the researchers say.

3 Decades of studies of bird flocks led researchers to predict extra alertness in the more vulnerable, end-of-the-row sleepers, Sure enough, the end birds tended to watch carefully on the side away from their companions. Ducks in the inner spots showed no preference for gaze direction. Also, birds dozing（打盹）at the end of the line resorted to single-hemisphere sleep, rather than total relaxation, more often than inner ducks did. Rotating 16 birds through the positions in a four-duck row, the researchers found outer birds half-asleep during some 32 percent of dozing time versus about 12 percent for birds in internal spots. “We believe this is the first evidence for an animal behaviorally controlling sleep and wakefulness simultaneously in different regions of the brain,” the researchers say. The results provide the best evidence for a long-standing supposition that single-hemisphere sleep evolved as creatures scanned for enemies. The preference for opening an eye on the lookout side could be widespread, he predicts. He’s seen it in a pair of birds dozing side-by-side in the zoo and in a single pet bird sleeping by mirror. The mirror-side eye closed as if the reflection were a companion and the other eye stayed open. Useful as half-sleeping might be, it’s only been found in birds and such water mammals（哺乳动物）as dolphins, whales, and seals. Perhaps keeping one side of the brain awake allows a sleeping animal to surface occasionally to avoid drowning. Studies of birds may offer unique insights into sleep. Jerome M. Siegel of the UGLA says he wonders if birds’ half-brain sleep “is just the tip of the iceberg”.

A) birds can control their half-brain sleep consciously B) birds seldom sleep with the whole of their brain at rest C) half-brain sleep is found in a wide variety of birds D) half-brain sleep is characterized by slow brain waves 22. According to the passage, birds often half sleep because _. A) they have to constantly keep an eye on their companions B) the two halves of their brain are differently structured C) they have to watch out for possible attacks D) their brain hemisphere take turns to rest 23. The example of a bird sleeping in front of a mirror indicates that _. A) birds prefer to sleep in pairs for the sake of security B) the phenomenon of birds dozing in pairs is widespread C) a single pet bird enjoys seeing its own reflection in the mirror D) even an imagined companion gives the bird a sense of security 24. While sleeping, some water mammals tend to keep half awake in order to _. A) avoid being swept away by rapid currents B) emerge from water now and then to breathe C) alert themselves to the approaching enemy D) be sensitive to the ever-changing environment 25. By “just the tip of the iceberg” (Line 2, Para.8), Siegel suggests that _. A) half-brain sleep is a phenomenon that could exist among other species B) most birds living in cold regions tend to be half sleepers C) the mystery of half-brain sleep is close to being solved
D)half-brain sleep has something to do with icy weather TEXT B According to Forrester Research,8.6 million online shoppers access the Internet via a high-speed connection,compared to 12 million using dial-up.Taken alone,those findings are hardly groundbreaking.What's noteworthy is the rest of the picture that emerges from that study:Those broad band users are younger, richer,and better informed than their narrowband counterparts.They spend more 剂 time and money online and are more likely to buy customized products and services.So why hasn't the Internet become the focus for broadband companies seeking to establish relationships with a demographic that has demonstrated a 紧 preference for their product?Simply put,until recently,their attempts fell flat. Just over a year ago,our agency launched an online performance-based e-marketing campaign to promote a broadband service.Despite engaging creative and a compelling offer,it met with resounding silence.Six months later,the response was only marginally better. So we were only cautiously optimistic two months later when we launched another campaign for the same ad vertiser,using the same offer.This time,it was a success.Response rates tripled and the customer acquisition cost dropped from $300 to under $100 Clearly,the floodgates have opened and the most sought-after consumers are rushing through to broadband.And while the surge in response wasn't a complete surprise given the emphasis placed on marketing broadband services,it was enough to make us curious about what other factors were at play. What we discovered was a scenario where so many people have experienced broadband's superiority at work,school,and even in friends'homes that they know what they're missing. 5
