You dont show your secret personality when youre awake because you can control yourself, but when youre asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleepi

24、t select too many subjects, or youll feel very nervous and tired. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, time arranging, marks and textbooks.

Its something we spend about a third of

30、 our lives doing, but do any of us really understand what its all about?We all know based on our own experience that when we sleep, it clears our minds, and when we dont sleep, it leaves our minds murky (昏沉沉的). But when we still havent understood why sleep has this amazing function for the mind.Rece

31、ntly biologists have found that sleep may actually be a kind of design solution to some of the brains most basic needs, the way that brain meets the high demands and the narrow margins (范围) that set it apart from all the other organs (器官) of the body. The brain has a large pool of clean, clear fluid

32、 (流体) called cerebrospinal fluid. Biologists call it the CSF. The CSF fills the space that surrounds the brain, and wastes from inside the brain make their way out to the CSF, which gets the waste into the blood. What was surprising to them was that the fluid on the outside of the brain didnt stay o

33、n the outside. Instead, the CSF goes into and through the brain along the outsides of the blood vessels (血管), it was actually helping to clear away and clean the waste from the spaces between the brains cells (细胞). This only happens in the sleeping brain.Recent research suggests that whats happening

34、 is that when the brain is awake and is at its most busy, it puts off clearing away the waste from the spaces between its cells until later. When we go to sleep, it gets into a kind of cleaning mode to clear away the waste from the spaces between its cells.We go to sleep every single night, but our

35、brains never rest. While our body is still and our mind is off walking in dreams somewhere. Like our housework, its dirty and a thankless job, but its also important. In your house, if you stop cleaning your kitchen for a month, your home will become completely unlivable very quickly. But in he brai

36、n, the situation is much more serious because when it comes to cleaning the brain, it is the very health and function of the mind and the body thats at stake. That is why understanding these very basic housekeeping functions of the brain today may prevent and treat diseases of the mind tomorrow.1Wha

37、t does the underlined phrase “at stake” in the last paragraph mean?Ain a healthy situationBin a dangerous situationCin an amazing situationDin an unlivable situation2What can we learn from the passage?ASleeping makes our brain feel murky.BThe CSF can clean the waste in our brain.COur brain can clean

38、 the waste at any time.DSleeping makes our brain have a good rest.3What is the main purpose of writing this passage?ATo teach us how to have a good sleep.BTo show the new research of our brain.CTo introduce how CSF works in our brain.DTo tell us the importance of sleeping.D16、We have always been int
