     People who enjoy a dreamfilled sleep are better at recalling information and making links between
facts when waking. But recharging with a shallow (小睡) offers no such mental improvement, the
research suggests. The results of the study added to the growing body of evidence that Rapid Eye
Movement (REM) sleep is very important to the brain's ability to form strong memories.
An average night's rest includes four or five spells of REM sleep, but these bursts tend to be lengthier
towards the end of the night. This means adults getting less than the recommended seven to eight hours
a night - and therefore inadequate REM sleep - may be damaging their mind's ability to memorize:
Although REM sleep is not classified as a type of deep sleep, it is only reached after the brain has passed
through deep sleep stages.
     In the recent study, participants were shown groups of three words and asked to find another word
that can be associated with all three words. They were tested once in the morning and then given the
same task again in the afternoon. In between, some were allowed a nap with REM sleep, some a nap
without REM sleep, while the others had a quiet rest period. The quiet rest and nonREM sleep groups
didn't improve, but the REM sleep group improved on their morning performance by an average of
almost 40 per cent. Dr Sara Mednick, a sleep researcher at the University of California who led the
study, believes the formation of connections between previous unassociated information in the brain
occurs during REM sleep.
     It is believed that sleep acts as a sort of mental filing system, enabling the brain to sort relevant
information from useless information. This process may take place as memories are removed from one
part of the brain to others.

Title REM Sleep 1.________ Memory
The result of the study Rapid Eye Movement sleep is of great importance to the brain's ability to

     The Internet and advances in technology are transforming fashion, making it easier for designers to
create collections and less expensive for them to show and sell their work, experts say.
      Instead of spending tens of thousands of dollars on a show at New York Fashion Week, some
designers presented collections for spring and summer 2010 online, while others are expanding their
brand by making it easier for shoppers to buy their clothes online.
     "It is the technology that is changing our lives, "said Designer Norma Kamali, who displayed her
spring and summer 2010 collection as well as exclusive lines(專賣品) for eBay Inc and Walmart.com
at the Apple store in Manhattan's Soho Neighborhood.
     Kamali's iPhone application has a"Try Before You Buy"option, which allows clothes to be sent
overnight to a customer, who provides her credit card information, so she can try them on at home
before deciding to buy.
     Menswear designer Miguel Antoinne and womenswear designer Marc Bouwer both put on virtual
fashion shows, while models at fashion designer Vivienne Tam's show carried a laptop computer
adorned with a Tam design.
     Mazdack Rassi, cofounder and creative director of Milk Studios, a downtown space that showed
about 70 collections during New York Fashion Week, was considering projecting shows on the side
of a building so people at a nearby park could watch.
     With cable TV and the Internet, designers know that their shows can be seen by many more people
than just the editors and the media who attend.
     Designers are finding that technology can also help the actual design work by allowing artists to
explore new ideas and processes.
     But Simon Collins, the dean of fashion at Parsons-the new school for design, said even though
technology is helpful, there is still no substitute for talent and hard work."Absolutely, there'll be people
out there that have successful businesses that don't know the first thing about draping and construction,
just think it up, put it on the computer, fire it off the factory and it works, "Collins said."But they're the
exception, not the rule."

1.According to the passage, one advantage of the Internet is that it allows the designers to    ___.
A. share their collections with other designers
B. display their work at a lower cost than usual
C. get information about the popular fashion trend
D. inform the editors and the media of their collections

2.Which of the following is TRUE about Kamali?
A. She's aware of the importance of the Internet.
B. She's strongly against buying clothes online.
C. She thinks highly of New York Fashion Week.
D. She' s running a "Try Before You Buy" website.

3.We can infer from the passage that   ___.
A. it's difficult to become a wellknown designer
B. it's very dangerous to do online shopping now
C. few people pay attention to virtual fashion shows
D. designers are struggling to promote their shows

4.According to the passage,    ___values people's natural gift and hard work.
A. Norma Kamali    
B. Miguel Antoinne
C. Mazdack Rassi    
D. Simon Collins

5.The purpose of the writing is to   __ .
A. celebrate the success of New York Fashion Week
B. stress the important role of the Internet and technology in fashion
C. introduce the activities in New York Fashion Week
D. advertise New York Fashion Week on the Internet

     Ask savvy investors(投資者) how they learned their first lessons about money, and they'll probably
tell you lessons their parents taught them.
    The money values we learn as children stay with us the rest of our lives. If you are a parent, teaching
your children the value of saving and investing will benefit them the rest of their lives. Here's what you
can do:
     Help your child begin to save. Open savings accounts for your children, and teach them how the
bank adds interest to their savings that makes their money grow. Encourage your children to save a little
from every bit of money they receive, such as allowances, birthday gifts, etc. You may even want to set
up a matching program, contributing fifty cents for each dollar your child saves.
     Teach your child about stocks(股票). A child in elementary school can start learning about how
businesses work. Once your child understands the basics, ask him or her to think about some of the
businesses that might be good stock investments. Then use Morningstar Mutual Fund Guide(available
at your library)to find a quality mutual fund that holds some of these companies, or a mutual fund that
caters to children such as the Stein Roe Young Investor Fund. Many funds accept regular monthly
investments as low as $50 a month, so these funds can be a good way to teach children about the stock
market while saving for their college education.
      Encourage early IRA(個(gè)人退休金賬戶)saving. The new Roth IRA is a great way for children who
are working in summers or after school to begin saving for their future. Imagine how much money you'd
have today if you had saved $3,000 a year since you were a teenager!
      Let your kids handle their own money. We all learn by doing, so letting your kids manage a segment
of their budget(預(yù)算)will let them earn valuable financial lessons.They may make mistakes, but they will
be small mistakes that may help them avoid larger mistakes as adults.

1. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Why to Teach Your Children to Save
B. How to Teach Your Children to Save
C. Tips for Saving for Children
D. Start Good Saving Habits Early

2. A matching program means ________.
A. that you should set a good example to your children
B. that you should provide enough money for children so that they can save some
C. that you encourage your children to compete with each other in saving
D. that you encourage your children by giving some extra money for them to save

3. According to the author, you should teach your children about investment when he/she is ________.
A. in the kindergarten  
B. in primary school
C. in middle school  
D. in college

4. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the Stein Roe Young Investor Fund?
A. It is usually with high benefits.
B. It accepts regular monthly investments.
C. It accepts small investments as low as $50 a month.
D. It caters to children who can afford small investments.

5.The advantage of letting your kids manage their budget lies in ________.
A. that they will make great businessmen in the future
B. that they will know the difficulty of managing a budget
C. that they will avoid making bigger mistakes in the future
D. that they will share happiness of managing their own budget
