It was a warm April day when a big fat envelope came in the mail from the only college I had ever imagined attending. I tore open the packet. My eyes were fixed on the word “congratulations”. I don’t remember ever smiling so wide.

Then I looked at my financial package.

The cost of Dream School’s tuition, room and board was around $40,000— an impossible sum! How could I afford to attend? What good reasons did I have to go there when three other fine colleges were offering me free tuition? My other choices were good, solid schools even if they weren’t as famous as my first choice.

In my mind, attending my dream university would be the only way to realize my dream of becoming a world-class writer. My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial problem, I could go wherever I would be happiest. But as I was always careful with money, I wasn’t sure what to do.

One of the schools that offered me a full ride had an informational dinner one night in the spring. Considering my parents’ financial difficulties, I decided to drive the 45 minutes and attend. At first, all I had planned to do was smile politely, eat free food ,listen quietly. But I surprised myself.

At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful activities on campus（including guest lectures and social gatherings）. He also made it perfectly clear that free food would be offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, class sizes, activities, and sporting events on campus. As he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my first choice, might be the best one for me. It seemed small yet with many great programs. It seemed challenging yet caring.

As the president ended his speech, we clapped politely and pushed back our chairs. As I walked out that door, a feeling of comfort washed over me. Looking at the campus that night, I realized that I would be spending the next four years right there.

In all honesty, my university is not as well-known as my “dream” university. However, it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me.

56. How did the author feel when he started to read the letter?

A. He was full of joy.    B. He was lost in his dream.

C. He was worried about the money.    D. He was uncertain which school to go to.

57. We can learn from the passage that the parents were _______.

       A. honest B. strict   C. supportive  D. decisive

58. In Paragraph 5, “offered me a full ride” can be replaced by “_______”.

       A. would pay for transport to the school

       B. would show me around the campus

       C. would offer free meals at all events

       D. would charge me nothing for tuition

59. What does the author mainly want to say?

       A. Your second-choice college may actually be your best fit.

       B. You should consider comfort in your choice of schools.

       C. You should try your best to attend your dream school.

       D. Your choice of schools should be based on their fame.

Advice to “sleep on it” could be well founded, scientists say. After a good night’s sleep a problem that seemed impossible to solve the night before can often appear more manageable, although no evidence has proved this by now. But researchers at the University of Luebek in Germany have designed an experiment that shows a good night’s sleep can improve insight (洞察力) and problem-solving.

“If you have some newly acquired memories in your brain, sleep acts on these memories and restructures (重構(gòu)) them, so that after sleep the insight into a problem which you could not solve before increases,” said Dr. Jan Born, a neuroscientist (神經(jīng)科學(xué)家), at the university. To test the theory, they taught volunteers two simple rules to help them put a string of numbers into a new order. There was also a third, hidden rule, which could help them increase their speed in solving the problem. The researchers divided the volunteers into two groups: half were allowed to sleep after the training while the rest were forced to stay awake. Born and his team noticed that the group that had slept after the training were twice as likely to figure out the third rule as the other group. “Sleep helped.” Born said in a telephone interview. “The important thing is that you have to have a memory representation in your brain of the problem you want to solve and then you sleep, so it can act on the problem.” But Born admitted that he and his team don’t know how restructuring of memories occurs or what governs it. Pierre Marquette and Pierre Ruby of the University of Liege in Belgium said the experimental evidence supports the suggestion that sleep can help develop creative thinking. Although the role of sleep in human creativity will still be a mystery, the research gives people good reason to fully respect their periods of sleep, they added.

68. The underlined phrase “sleep on it” in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.

A. to put something to be solved aside until the next day

B. to get as much sleep as possible

C. to go on sleeping without being disturbed

D. to sleep till you usually get up the next morning

69. Jan Born and his team carried out the experiment through _____.

A. interview      B. comparison       C. survey      D. imagination

70. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.

A. sleep is the only way to solve hard problems

B. people should sleep so long as they have time

C. people know how sleep reconstructs memories

D. people have various periods of sleep

71. What would be the best title for the passage?

 A. How Sleep Works                 B. No Evidence, but Well Founded

   C. Sleep Helps Solve Problems         D. Born’s Discovery On Sleep
