When it comes to having trouble falling asleep, people have their own special ways to solve it. Some depend on a glass of milk while others count sheep. Counting sheep is a mental (心理的) exercise used in some cultures to put you to sleep. But does counting sheep actually put a person to sleep?

In fact, to answer the question, the researchers at Oxford University recently found some people who had trouble falling asleep and monitored (检测) them as they tried one of three different ways. One of them was counting sheep.

The study divided 41 insomniacs into three groups. One group was asked to imagine beautiful and peaceful scenes like waterfalls when trying to fall asleep. Another group was asked to simply go about their daily life. The last group was asked to count imaginary sheep.

Researchers found that those in the first group fell asleep about 20 minutes faster than they did on other, non-experimental nights, while insomniacs who had to count sheep took longer than usual. Although there were no scientific studies to support it, the researchers have their own reasons.

First, the researchers believed that the act of imagining a peaceful scene requires more mental energy than keeping counting sheep. When people spend too much energy on mental imagination, it may make them more tired, which can help to sleep faster.

Another reason was that the peaceful scene way may have simply been easier to continue because it is more interesting than keeping counting sheep.

Researchers also said that the act of counting sheep may also add to anxiety (焦虑) for someone, making falling asleep that more difficult. Though the sample size of the study was actually small, the results certainly still call this common sleep way into question.

23. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. The sheep. B. The results.

C. The researchers. D. The people with insomniacs.

24. How many reasons do scientists show that counting sheep may not help people fall asleep?

A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.

25. What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the way of counting sheep?

A. Supportive. B. Agreeable. C. Doubtful. D. Uncaring

26. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. How Can We Sleep Faster?

B. What Do Researchers Do to Help Us Sleep?

C. Do You Like Counting Sheep?

D. Does Counting Sheep Put a Person to Sleep?

D

A bird diary is a record of all the birds you have seen. Here’s how you can prepare information for your bird diary:

*Find a quiet place where there are lots of birds. Birds like places where they can find food and water.

*Sit in a place where you will stay quiet. Don’t scare the birds with sudden movements or loud noises.

*Make notes about the birds. Look at one bird at a time. What can you see? Write about it in a small notebook. At home copy your notes up clearly into your bird diary.

*Draw pictures of the birds. Do quick drawings in your notebook. You can also take photos of the birds. At home, copy the drawings into your bird diary. Put photos into your bird diary, too.

It’s easy to forget things. Here are some questions you should ask yourself:

*What color is the bird? Some birds have bright colors to attract (吸引) other birds. Some birds are the same color as the land they live on, so that enemies don’t see them.

*________________? Some birds have wide powerful wings. Others have small wings that move quickly when they fly. You can stick feathers (羽毛) in your bird diary. Remember never to steal eggs from them.

*What is the bird’s beak like? Birds with short beaks, like finches (雀类), eat seeds. Some birds, like hoopoes (戴胜鸟), have long sharp beaks to catch worms. Hawks and eagles (鹰) have strong beaks. They eat meat.

*What are the bird’s feet like? Can they catch the tree? Are they good for walking or swimming?
