Researchers have found that REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is important to human beings. This type of sleep generally occurs four or five times during one night of sleep lasting five minutes to forty minutes for each occurrence. The deeper a person's sleep becomes, the longer the periods of rapid eye movement.

　　There are physical charges in the body to show that a person has changed from NREM (non-rapid eye movement) to REM sleep. Breathing becomes faster, the heart rate increases, and, as the name implies, the eyes begin to move quickly.

　　Accompanying these physical changes in the body is a very important characteristic of REM sleep. It is during REM sleep that a person dreams.

Which of the following shows that a person is NOT dreaming in his sleep?（　　）

____ more you read English, ____ better you'll learn.（　　）

The President gave the Secretary of State 30 days ____ the report.（　　）

The poor boy ____ his parents about his failure in the exam.（　　）

Jack told his daughter that she could have ____ she wanted for Christmas.（　　）

Her dog ran out of the yard ____ the old lady opened the gate.（　　）

____.

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world.

　　Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth.” I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.

　　They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional”. But she lived “on the surface”.

　　As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.

　　I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.

　　My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace—it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.

　　Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside—a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times.

　　Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.

The writer began to love her mother’s desk ____.（　　）

What’s the best title of the passage?（　　）

This is not a diet（减肥食谱）or a hard-exercise program. Nobody can stick to those for long. Instead, it’s a simple way to make weight loss a natural part of the life you already live. And guess what? It’s fun！You don’t have to give up the foods you love or do regular exercises. It’s about balancing calories（平衡卡路里）in tiny ways that add up to big benefits. You just use some tricks the “naturally thin” people do. Pick the ones you like, stick with them, and you’ll lose weight and be strong！

　　Talk it UP Every time you pick up the phone, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit on average two and a half hours more every day than thin people, according to a study.

　　Get face time, we use e-mail so much that we’ve forgotten what our colleagues look like. Pick a colleague or two who sit farthest from you: and deliver 10 of those daily messages in person. And go out of your way, go to a bathroom or a copy machine on another floor and take the stairs, of course.

　　Think about your drink consider beer or wine instead of a frozen drink: A glass of regular beer has 140 calories and a serving of wine has 126 calories, while a strawberry daiquiri has about 300 and a margarita 340.

　　Reduce a total of 100 calories each day and you’ll be able to lose about 10 pounds in a year. This is really not difficult to do.

What is mainly talked about in the passage?（　　）

Researchers have found that REM（rapid eye movement）sleep is important to human beings. This type of sleep generally occurs four or five times during one night of sleep lasting five minutes to forty minutes for each occurrence. The deeper a person's sleep becomes, the longer the periods of rapid eye movement.

　　There are physical charges in the body to show that a person has changed from NREM（non-rapid eye movement）to REM sleep. Breathing becomes faster, the heart rate increases, and, as the name implies, the eyes begin to move quickly.

　　Accompanying these physical changes in the body is a very important characteristic of REM sleep. It is during REM sleep that a person dreams.
