Have you ever had trouble sleeping in a new place?

　　　 Lots of people do. And now researchers from Brown University in Rhode Island think they know why. They found that one-half of the brain "remains more awake" than the other half when people are trying to sleep in a new place.

The sleep findings were reported in Current Biology by Brown University. In their report, the researchers said many people report they have a harder time sleeping the first night at a hotel or other places outside their home. They call it "first-night influence". "In Japan they say, 'If you change your bed, you can't sleep,'" said Yuka Sasaki, one of the report's writers. "You don't sleep very well in a new place. We all know about it."

The researchers measured brain waves (测量脑波) for 35 volunteers over two nights in a laboratory. The two nights were a week apart (间隔). They found during the first night the left half of the brain was more active than the right half. This was during the first deep-sleep period, the researchers said.

Sasaki said a lot of questions remain.

Researchers did not keep measuring brain waves all night long. So, they don't know if the left half keeps "watch" all night, or whether it "works in shifts (轮换) with the right half later in the night". They also do not know why the brain activity, at least during the first period of deep sleep, is always on the left half.

For some, this research may be calming. It is good to know that our brain is "looking out for us" in a new place. But it may not help with sleep. That brain activity, at least according to this new research, makes it harder to get the sleep people need to wake up well rested in the morning.

根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。

1. How many times did the researchers measure brain waves for 35 volunteers?

A. Once.　　　　　 B. Twice.　　　　　 C. Three times.　　　　 D. Four times.

2. The researchers found 　　　　　　 during the first deep-sleep period.

A. the brain waves remained the same

B. the brain activity helped with sleep

C. the right half of the brain kept "watch"

D. the left half of the brain was more active

3. Which of the following is one of the questions that remain?

A. Whether the new bed keeps you from sleeping.

B. How you have trouble sleeping in a new place.

C. Why the brain activity is always on the left half.

D. What people can do when they can't sleep well.

4.The underlined word "calming" has the closest meaning to" 　　　　　　 ".

A. pleasing　　　　 B. different　　　　 C. serious　　　　 D. strange

5.What is the text mainly about?

A. What we will have to do to sleep well.

B. How researchers measure brain waves.

C. Who doesn't sleep well in a new place.

D. Why it's harder to sleep in a new place.

I was born in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. I came to New York in 1956. At first, I held several jobs to earn a few dollars. Later, to live a better life, I bought my own taxi car. Till now, I've been in the taxi car business for thirty-five years. I know there is a lot about taxi drivers that is not so good. Because of this, people get the wrong impression（印象） that they are bad.

In fact, taxi drivers are just like other honest people. You can read in the papers almost every week where a taxi driver turns in money or jewels people leave in their cars. One time in Brooklyn, I found a ring in my car. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of bags that day, so I went back to the store where I had dropped her off. It took me almost two days to look for her in order to return the ring. I didn't get as much as “Thank you.” Still, I felt good because I had done what was right.

In all my years of driving a taxi car, I have never had any trouble with the public because I always try to be nice to everyone. I try to be honest toward others. I have been trying this for a long time, and the longer I try, the easier it gets.

I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts there is. It’s something that makes a man a good guy. This is also my way to live by.
