3．Every animal sleeps，but the reason for this has remained foggy．When lab rats are not allowed to sleep，they die within a month．（71）C
      One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories．（72）EWe  know that，while awake，fresh memories are recorded by reinforeing（加強）connections between brain cells，but the  memory processes that take place while we sleep  have been unclear．
      Support  is  growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons（神經元）in the brain can be weakened overnight，making room for fresh memories to from the next day．（73）F
      Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right．（74）GThe synapses in the  mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep，showing that the connections between neurons weaken  while sleeping．
     If  Tononi′s theory is right，it would explain why，when we miss a night′s sleep，we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information--our brains may have smaller room for new experiences．
     Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner．The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size．（75）B"You keep what matters，"Tononi says．

A．We should also try to sleep well the night before．
B．It's as if the brain is preserving its most important memories．
C．Similarly，when people go for a few days without sleeping，they get sick．
D．The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories．
E．That's why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning．
F．"Sleep is the price we pay for learning，"says Giulio Tononi，who developed the idea．
G．Tononi's team measured the size of these connections，or synapses，in the brains of 12 mice．

2．Measles（麻疹），which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more，was nearly wiped out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine（疫苗）．But the disease is making a comeback，caused by a growing anti-vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly．Already this year，115 measles cases have been reported in the USA，compared with 189 for all of last year．
     The numbers might sound small，but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend．When vaccination rates are very high，as they still are in the nation as a whole，everyone is protected．This is called"herd immunity"，which protects the people who get hurt easily，including those who can't be vaccinated for medical reasons，babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn't work．
     But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in．When some refuse vaccination and seek a free ride，immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger．
     That's exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange County，California，where 22 measles cases were reported this month，to Brooklyn，N．Y．，where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year．
     The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades，and it is driven by a real but very small risk．Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer．
     Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out（決定不參加） of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten．Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption（豁免），sometimes just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine．
     Now，several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out．But no one does enough to limit exemptions．
     Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons．But personal opinions？Not good enough．Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide，but they'll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risks．

63．The first two paragraphs suggest thatA．
A．a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trend
B．the outbreak of measles attracts the public attention
C．anti-vaccine movement has its medical reasons
D．information about measles spreads quickly

A．exemptions are allowed
B．several vaccines are used together
C．the whole neighborhood is involved in
D．new regulations are added to the state laws
65．What is the main reason for the comeback of measles？D
A．The overuse of vaccine．
B．The lack of medical care．
C．The features of measles itself．
D．The vaccine opt-outs of some people．
66．What is the purpose of the passage？C
A．To introduce the idea of exemption．
B．To discuss methods to cure measles．
C．To stress the importance of vaccination．
D．To appeal for equal rights in medical treatment．

In the summer holiday following my eighteen birthday，I took driving lessons．I still remember how hard first day was．Before getting into the car，I thought I had learned the instructor's orders，so once I started the car，my mind goes blank．I forgot what he had said to me altogether．The instructor kept repeating the word，"Speed up!""Slow down!""Turning left!"I was so much nervous that I could hardly tell which direction was left．A few minutes late，the instructor asked me to stop the car．It was a relief and I came to a suddenly stop just in the middle on the road．

14．閱讀下面短文，在空白處填入 1個適當的單詞或括號內單詞的正確形式．
      There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt．This trend，which was started by the medical community（醫(yī)學界）（61）asa method of fighting heart disease，has had some unintended side（62）effects（effect） such as overweight and heart disease-the very thing the medical community was trying to fight．
      Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet．They are required（63）to process（process） the food that we eat，to recover from injury and for several other bodily functions．When fat and salt（64）are removed（remove） from food，the food tastes as if it is missing something．As （65）a result，people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing．Even （66）worse （bad），the amount of fast food that people eat goes up．Fast food（67）is  （be） full of fat and salt； by （68）eating （eat） more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet．
      Having enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack（吃點心） between meals and will improve the taste of your food．However，be（69）careful （care） not to go to extremes．Like anything，it is possible to have too much of both，（70）which is not good for the health．
