11．Scientists found that sleeping considerably improves our creativity．After taking a nap people are able to think faster and put more imagination into their thinking．Besides，if we dream，the thinking abilities are improved even more．
Researchers consider that sleeping on a problem in most cases leads to elucidation（解释）．They say when a person enters a phase called Rapid Eye Movement （REM） during sleep，it increases the effect．Such phase takes place right before we awake and according to scientists it helps our brain make links between unrelated subjects．
In the study，led by Professor Sara Mednick，scientists made a conclusion that the REM was"important for assimilating（消化）new information into past experience"in order to find solutions to creative problems．
Prof．Mednick is a psychiatrist at the University of California．Her study involved the analysis of 77adults．Each participant was given several word-associated creative tasks．All tasks were given in the morning，with participants being shown a number of groups of 3words，for example：cookie，heart and sixteen．They were asked to come up with a word that would be associated with all three given terms-like sweet．Sometime later，after some
participants were allowed to sleep，they were asked to perform the same tasks and some new ones．It is worth mentioning that while some people slept，researchers used brain scans to see the type of sleep each participant entered．
When given the same tasks，participants，who took a nap，were able to give more varied solutions，some of which were much better than they gave earlier．But when given new tasks，researchers found that those who entered REM sleep had a 40percent better result compared to the performance they showed in the morning．

12．What does"it"refer to in the second paragraph？B
A．The effect．
B．REM．
C．Sleep．
D．A problem．
13．Why do the researchers study the REM？C

C．Because REM can help find creative solutions．
D．Because REM can make a creative invention．
14．What can we know from this passage？A
A．Taking a short nap is good for your thinking during the day．
B．Sleeping has three processes which is good for creativity．
C．Each adult was allowed to sleep after the task was given．
D．REM is a process taking place right after we awake when we nap．
15．The important stage in the study isD．
A．to think of a creative word
B．to show a group of 3words
C．to give participants time to think
D．to let some participants sleep for a while．

8．To most people，noise pollution is a jet flying over their head．For one Spanish woman，it is a neighbor playing the piano．The woman has taken her neighbor to court．Now she wants to send her neighbor to prison for over seven years on the charges of psychological damage and noise pollution．
In a country known for its noisiness，the case has raised eyebrows．Neighbors often complain about street noise in Spain，but people seeking prison time for someone practicing the piano is unheard of．At the trial，Sonia Bosom says she has been suffering noise pollution up to now due to the practice sessions of Laia Martin，who lives below her．Martin，27，didn't admit that she played at home that often，saying she took regular classes in other towns and mostly practiced at home on the weekends．
On the first day of the trial，the newspaper reported that Bosom told the court she now hated pianos so much that she couldn't even stand seeing them in a film．
Bosom says years of hearing constant playing has caused her"psychological injury"．Medical reports show she has suffered from a variety of problems，including insomnia （失眠），anxiety，and panic attacks．
She says tests by local authorities have found that the sound levels made by the piano are up to 10decibels （分贝） higher than the limit．City authorities（权威）have asked the family several times to either stop the piano playing or soundproof （隔音） the room．The family told the court they carried out soundproofing work twice but the complaints continued．
The court hasn't made a final decision．A spokeswoman says the trial will end before May．

After another of his episodes（片段） had left me in tears I stormed into his office．"What？"he said suddenly．"Jack，the way you've been treating me is wrong．I've never had anyone speak to me that way．As a professional，it's wrong for me to allow it to continue，"I said．Jack smiled nervously，"Susan，I make you a promise that I will be a friend．I will treat you as you deserve to be treated，with respect and kindness．"
Jack avoided me the rest of the week，and never questioned my work again．I brought cookies to the office one day and left some on his desk．Another day I left a note："Hope your day is going great．"Over the next few weeks，there were no more Jack episodes．One year later
I discovered I had breast cancer，and was scared．The statistics were not great for my long-term survival．
One day，however，Jack visited me in the hospital and silently handed me a bundle with several bulbs inside．"Tulips（郁金香），"he said．I smiled，not understanding．"If you plant them when you get home，they'll come up next spring．I think you will be there to see them when they come up．Next spring you will see the colors I picked out for you．"Tears clouded my eyes and he left．I have seen those red and white striped（有条纹的） tulips push through the soil every spring for over ten years now．This past September the doctor declared me cured．At a moment when I was praying for just the right word，a man with very few words said all the right things．After all，that's what friends do．
