　　Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot(行李箱).

　　Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.” Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.

　　Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew（旋开） the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”

　　It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled（爬行） clear as the car filled up.”

　　His hands and arms cut and bruised(), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.

　　Going to sleep may seem pretty boring compared with all the fun things there are to do while you're awake. But there's a lot going on in your mind and body while you're tucked under those covers.

　　Sleep, in fact, is as important to your survival as eating and drinking. Sleep improves your mood, makes you a better athlete, and helps you remember and understand what you learned during the day. During sleep your temperature drops. Your heart rate slows. Down goes the pressure of the blood moving through your veins. A chemical that controls growth (called a hormone) surges（汹涌） into your bloodstream. Scientists think sleep restores energy and improves your immune () system. We know what happens while we're asleep because scientists study volunteers who sleep in laboratories. The sleepers are hooked up（） to machines that measure brain waves, eye movements and muscle activities.

　　Sleep is like a school day: it's divided into different periods, or stages. When you're awake, your brain waves fire rapidly. As you begin to relax and drift into the first stage of sleep, your brain produces slower-moving waves and you lose awareness of your surroundings. As you slide to deeper sleep, your body repairs itself from the normal wear and tear of daily life. Then, as you begin to drift back up to a lighter sleep, your mind becomes more alert (机警), and your dreams begin. You're in REM sleep.

　　REM was names for the "rapid eye movement' that happens while you're dreaming. During REM sleep, your eyes move back and forth behind your timed lids, as though you were flashing a movie. During other stages, you might move at that in bed, but during REM sleep you're still. That's probably because if you could move, your body would act out your dreams. As you get closer to morning, you spend more time in REM than in deep sleep, so you dream more. Researchers know that during REM sleep the part of the brain that handles learning and thinking is very active.

　　Getting too little sleep can affect your personality. Experts recommend that children get at least nine hours’ sleep a night.

　　11. What does the word "recommend" in the last paragraph mean?

　　A. suggest.

　　B. ask.

　　C. wish.

　　D. order

　　12. Sleep has many advantages except ______.

　　A. improving your mood

　　B. making you strong

　　C. helping you study

　　D. practicing your eyes

　　13. During your sleep time, ______.

　　① your body repairs itself from the normal wear and tear of daily life

　　② your brain produces slower-moving waves

　　③ your dream begins

　　④ you loose awareness of surroundings

　　Please choose the right order:

　　A. ① ③ ② ④

　　B. ② ④ ① ③

　　C. ④ ① ③ ②

　　D. ④ ③ ① ②

　　14. Suppose this is the course of your sleep, in which part of the course do you have dreams?

　　(A: light sleep

　　B: deep sleep

　　C: light sleep

　　D: the whole course)
