You couldn't come up with an original thought no matter how hard you tried.You were probably right if you thought that was caused by a lack of sleep. Dr. Home, a sleep researcher in England, studied 24 college students. One group got their normal eight hours of sleep. The other group didn't get the smallest amount of sleep －they stayed awake all night. The next day, Dr. Home tested the students. He asked them questions that required creative and original thinking. One of the questions was "How many uses can a cardboard box be put to?"The results? The wide-awake students did well on the tests. The tired students did poorly. Research has already shown that tired people can do okay on tests of routine thinking, like simple addition. But Dr. Home tested creative thinking only.As part of his study, he offered an amount of money as a reward to the sleepy students if they did well. But even this encouragement wasn't enough to help the students overcome their tiredness. They still did poorly. Dr. Home believes that the cerebral cortex－the part of the brain where thinking takes place－may get worn out during waking hours. Sleep may help to repair the brain overnight. Without any sleep, he emphasizes, "even if you concentrate harder, you cannot do better."This study gives people something to think about, especially people like hospital workers and airline pilots, who must stay awake all night and then make emergency decisions.6.According to the passage, the confusion of your mind is possibly due to the lack of sleep.A.TB.F答案：A7.Tired people can do everything EXCEPT telling other people their names.A.TB.F答案：B8.The purpose for Dr. Home to offer a lot of money to the sleepy students is to encourage them to do better.A.TB.F答案：A9.Students might be better instructed in their work after reading this passage.A.TB.F答案：B10.A foolish man with good sleep may answer creative question well.A.TB.F答案：BToday Newton is a very clean place.

Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. It's polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a present.Do you want to be extra (特别地) polite? Say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember - not to ask how much things cost.You'll probably start the meal with soup, or something small as a "starter" (第一道菜), then you'll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then a dessert (甜食), followed by coffee. It's polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it. Some people eat bread with their meal, but not everyone does.Before they take out their cigarettes after the meal, most people usually ask, "Do you mind if I smoke here?"Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short "thank you" letter.
