18、uge waves knocked me down and swept over me.The pool was quiet. I was afraid of going in all alone, so I sat on the side of the pool to wait for others. Then came a big boy. He yelled, “Hi, Skinny! Howd you like to be ducked?” With that he picked me up and threw me into the deep end. I landed in a s
19、itting position, and swallowed water. But I was not frightened out of my wits when my feet hit the bottom, I would make a big jump, come out of the surface. It seemed a long way down.

20、nd saw nothing but water. I tried to yell but no sound came out.

You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power, and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if
26、youre not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smartphone addiction. For some people, smartphones have liberated them from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more autonomy(自主权) in their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends an
27、d families. For many others though, smartphones have become tyrants (暴君) in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off, relax and recharge their batteries. Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favour of his iPhone. So h
28、e developed an app Moment to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time theyre spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are breached (突破). “Moments goal is to promote balance in your life,” his website explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it enjo
29、ying your loving family and friends around you.” Dr Christine Grant, an occupational psychologist at Coventry University, said, “The effects of this always on culture are that your mind is never resting, and youre not giving your body time to recover, so youre always stressed. And the more tired and
30、 stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.” And as the number of connected smartphones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis (瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a
31、broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage. “It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because theyre controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,” said Dr Christine Grant.28.

What you may not realize, however, is that the learning process actually continues in your dreams.It might
35、 sound like science fiction, but researchers are increasingly focusing on the relationship between the knowledge and skills our brains absorb during the day and the often strange imaginings they generate at night. Scientists have found that dreaming about a task weve learned improves performance in
36、that activity (suggesting that theres some truth to the popular idea that were “getting” a foreign language once we begin dreaming in it). Whats more, dreaming may be an essential part of understanding, organizing and retaining what we learn.While we sleep, research indicates, the brain replays the
37、patterns of activity it experienced during waking hours, allowing us to enter what one psychologist calls a neural (神经的) virtual reality. A vivid example of such replay can be seen in a video researchers made recently about sleep disorders. They taught a series of dance moves to patients suffering f
38、rom sleepwalking and related conditions. They then videotaped the subjects as they slept. Lying in bed, eyes closed, one female patient on the tape performs the dance moves she learned earlier.This shows that while our bodies are at rest, our brains are extracting whats important from the informatio
39、n and events weve recently encountered, then integrating(使合并) that material into the vast store of what we already know. In a 2010 study, researchers reported that college students who dreamed about a computer maze (迷宫) task they had learned showed a 10-fold improvement in their ability to find thei
40、r way through the maze compared with participants who did not dream about the task.That studys chief researcher Herbert Smith suggested that studying right before bedtime or taking a nap following a study session in the afternoon might increase the probability of dreaming about the material. Think a
41、bout that as you go to sleep tonight.32. What happens when one enters a dream state?A. The body continues to act as if the sleeper were awake.B.

Having a dream about anything you are interested in.D. Thinking about the chances of dreaming about the material.35. Wh
44、at is the research discussed in the passage mainly about?A. How study affects peoples dreams.B. Why people learn more after sleeping.C. What time students should study and sleep.D.
