(2016·石家庄市一模)
Occasional sleepwalking does not tend to present a problem and must children grow out of it.If it happens every night and causes problems，then sleep disorder specialists suggest that parents spend a week noting the time when the sleepwalking tends to happen，and then gently wake the child about fifteen minutes before this time.This will often break the cycle.
So what should you do if you find your relative sleepwalking？For a start，they are in such a deep sleep that they will probably not notice you，even if you try to wake them.If you do succeed in waking them，they will become distressed.Everyone has experienced that feeling of confusion when the alarm awakens you from deep sleep，instead of the lighter sleep we are usually experiencing by the time our alarms sound.I once had the shock of being woken by a crash and found myself in the kitchen，standing barefoot and surrounded by broken glass.I’d tried to get a glass of water while sleepwalking，but like most sleepwalkers I failed to turn on the light，and had smashed the glass against the tap.
Waking a sleepwalker will not cause them to have a heart attack，but the kindest thing to do is not to try to wake them at all.Lead them gently back to bed so that they do not hurt themselves.They will remain deeply asleep，and it is likely that they will not remember a thing in the morning.
1．What do the specialists advise the parents to do to avoid their children’s sleepwalking?
A．Go to bed with their children at the same time.
B．Keep a record of the time when children wake up.
C．Take 15 minutes to wake children from sleepwalking.
D．Try some time to break the cycle of the sleepwalking.
2．When a sleepwalker is suddenly woken，he is most likely to________.
A．die from heart attack B．do some cooking
C．feel lost
D．become relaxed
3．What should we do to deal with a sleepwalking relative?
A．Do nothing but take him back to bed.
B．Try every means to wake him at once.
C．Leave your relative where he stays.
D．Send him to a specialist immediately.
4．What is the best title for the text?
A．Sleep Disorder
B．Sleepwalking
C．Sleep Advice
D．Sleepwalkers
