29、8】 54 【 C9】 55 【 C10】 Section A 55 When we think of good health, we almost always think about eating good food and doing exercise. However, getting enough sleep and dreaming are also part of good health. After a hectic day of work and play, the body needs to rest, and sleep is the bodys response to

30、this need. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day. There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. When

31、you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to another. Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep s

32、ay that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs move more quickly(although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.

33、d sleeping pattern, but no one knows why we dream. If you have trouble falling asleep, there are a few possible ways of solving this problem.

In Asia, for example, birds and other anima

35、ls are thought to play a role in taking these baby teeth. In the West, though, a fairy is thought to visit. In all cases, it is considered lucky for the animal or fairy to take the offered tooth. 【 B2】 _Latter, the magpie will return and bring a new tooth for the child. This custom is also followed

36、in other Asian countries. In both Japan and Vietnam, follow a similar tradition of throwing lost teeth onto the roofs of houses. 【 B3】_In Mexico and Spain, for instance, tradition says a mouse takes the tooth and leaves some money. But in Mongolia, dogs are responsible for taking childrens teeth awa

37、y. Dogs are highly respected in Mongolian culture and are considered to be peoples guardian angels. 【 B4】 _Accordingly, parents in Mongolia will put their childs lost tooth in the fat of a piece of meat and feed it to a dog. 【 B5】 _Many children in Western countries count on the Tooth Fairy to leave

38、 money or presents in exchange for a tooth. The exact origins of the Tooth Fairy are unknown, although the story probably began in England or Ireland centuries ago. According to this tradition, a child puts a lost tooth under his or her pillow before going to bed. In the small hours while the child

39、is sleeping, the Tooth Fairy takes the tooth and leaves something else under the pillow. What she does with the teeth is a mystery. In France, the Tooth Fairy leaves a small gift or candy. In the United States, however, the Tooth Fairy usually leaves money. These days, the rate is $1 to $5 per tooth

Despite the heavy wor

43、kload, it seems that the more you learn, the more you rely what you still need to study. As a result, it is not unusual for students to drop out. Misguided teachers attempt to simplify matters in an environment that demands the very best of its practitioners. The situation is little better in the ye

44、ar or two years after qualifying. Poorly paid for such long hours, many junior doctors find themselves becoming disillusioned with medicine. The more depressed they become, the more likely they are to look elsewhere for a career, wasting up to seven years of training and education. An unfortunate st

Section D 70 Conventional wisdom says trees are good for the environment. They absorb carbon dioxidea greenhouse gasfrom th

47、e atmosphere and store it as carbon while releasing oxygen, a process for which forests have been called “the lungs of the planet“. The roots of trees have been thought to trap sediments and nutrients in the soil. Trees have also been credited with steadying the flow of these rivers, keeping it rela

A four-year international study led by researchers at the University of Newcastle, in Britain, and the Free University of Amsterdam, identifies severa

The World Commission on Water estimates that the demand for
