2015年MPA联考英语阅读练习及答案4
After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep isnecessary 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. As 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 the other.
Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists
who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move
more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called
REM, which stands for rapid eye movement
If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very
slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help
make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put
you to sleep!
