Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or merely you are there to buy as a present．You may even have entered the shop just to find a shelter from a sudden shower．Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings．The desire to pick up a book with an attractive “dust-jacket” is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book．You soon become engrossed in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment—without buying a book, of course．This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop．There are not many places where it is possible to do this．A music shop is very much like a bookshop．You can wander around such places to your heart’s content．If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with inevitable greetings: “Can I help you, sir?” You needn’t buy anything you don’t want．In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing．Then, and only then, are his services necessary．Of course you may want to find out where a particular section is, but when he has led you there, the assistant should retire carefully and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book．You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop．It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rubbing-something that had only vaguely interested you up until then．This sort of thing can be very dangerous．Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section．

This report presents details of home computers used by a random sample (随机抽样) of young people. It is a common idea that teenagers today know about computers and know how to use them in all aspects of their lives. We decided to try to find out whether that was true.
【小题1】 All the teenagers we chose said they had computers at home. We asked them how much time they spent on their computers in an average week, but we were most interested in what they used their computers for. The average time spent on a computer in a week was about 12 hours, with the highest user averaging 32 hours and the lowest user only 5 hours. 【小题2】 【小题3】 Fourteen teenagers told us they did some word processing at home, but not very much. Only 2 of them said that computers helped them with their studies, while 8 of them told us they kept addresses and telephone numbers on their computers or used them as diaries. Only 3 of them said they were learning to program computers, and nobody looked up information (other than their address lists). 【小题4】
The results indicate quite clearly that computers are seen by most young people as little more than game machines. 【小题5】 It seems to us that, although computers are common in the homes of teenagers, they have not yet become useful tools in everyday life.
| A．There no big difference between boys and girls. |
| B．All of the teenagers questioned said they regularly used to play games. |
| C．We questioned thirty young people between 14 and 18. |
| D．But some adults admitted that they had no computers at home. |

Scientists say they now have proof to support the old-fashioned advice that it's best to sleep on a problem. They say sleep strengthens the memory and helps the brain organize the masses of information we receive each day.
Lead researcher Bob Stickgold at the Harvard Medical School said, "Sleep helps us draw rules from our experiences. It's like knowing the difference between dogs and cats even if it's hard to explain."
The US research team studied how well students remembered connections between words and symbols (象征) , reports New Scientist. They compared how the students performed if they had had a sleep between seeing the words and having the test, and if they had not slept. They found that people were better able to remember lists of related words after a night's sleep than after the same time spent awake during the day. They also found it easier to remember themes (主题) that the words had in common. But they forgot around one in four more themes if they had been awake. Prof. John Groeger, of Surrey University's Sleep Research Centre, said, "People have been trying for years to find out what the purpose of sleep is, as we know that only certain parts of it have a restorative (有助恢复的) value. " "We form and store huge numbers of experiences in the head every day, and sleep seems to be the way the brain deals with it all."
1.The phrase" to sleep on a problem" in Paragraph 1 most likely means to______.
A. pay full attention to a problem B. wait until later for a decision
C. sleep to forget a problem D. have difficulty sleeping
2.In the study by the US research team, students were asked to______.
A. put together words of similar meanings
B. remember words and their meanings
C. show their knowledge of words
D. make up lists of related words
3.Which of the following may be easier to remember?
A. Themes learned right before the test
B. Rules from personal experience
C. Words learnt before a good sleep
D. Ideas stored together in the brain
4.What may be the importance of the research?
A. It shows sleep may help us manage information
B. It helps find out the common themes of word
C. It tells us that more sleep can improve health
D. It proves the value of old-fashioned advice
