A special laboratory at the University of Chicago is busy only at night. It is a dream laboratory where researchers are at work studying dreamers. Their findings have discovered that everyone dreams from three to seven times a night, although in ordinary life a person may remember none or only one of his dreams.

　　While the subjects—usually students—sleep, special machines record their brain waves and eye movements as well as the body movements that signal the end of a dream. Surprisingly, all subjects sleep soundly.

Observers report that a person usually fidgets(烦躁不安) before a dream. Once the dream has started, his body relaxes and his eyes become more active, as if the curtain had gone up on a show. As soon as the machine shows that the dream is over, a buzzer wakens the sleeper. He sits up, records his dream, and goes back to sleep—perhaps to dream some more.

Researchers have found that if the dreamer is wakened immediately after his dream, he can usually recall the entire dream. If he is allowed to sleep even five more minutes, his memory of the dream will have disappeared.

36. According to the passage, researchers at the University of Chicago are studying ____.

　　A. contents of dreams 　 B. dreamers while they dream

　　C. the meaning of dreams D. the progress of sleeping

37. Their finding has discovered that _____.

　　A. everyone dreams every night

　　B. dreams are easily remembered

　　C. dreams are likely to be frightening

　　D. One person dreams only one dream a night

38. The machines being used in the experiment record _____.

　　A. the depth of sleep

　　B. the subjects’ brain waves and eye movements

　　C. how many dreams a person has

　　D. what a sleeper dreams during his sleep

39. A person would be most likely to remember the dream that _____.

　　A. was of most interest to him

　　B. occurred immediately after he went to sleep

　　C. occurred just before he woke up

　　D. was the longest one to him

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants(居民) of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become angry and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination(目的地) country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance health and happiness of local inhabitants.

　　Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.

　　
All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.

　　A. It is not important to develop tourism.

Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the

reason could be that men’s hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.

The latest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women’s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.

“We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.

“Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are no
