12．Paying a higher price than usual for a ticket to see a film in 3D is the annoyance of many a cinema-goer's life．
But there may be a benefit to doing so，as a study has found that 3D films exercise the brain and improve short-term functioning in a similar way to brain-training tests．
The research found that people who watched a movie in 3D improved cognitive （认知） skills，compared to those who watched it in 2D．
The research was led by neuroscientist（神经学家） Dr Patrick Fagan from Goldsmiths University in London．More than 100people took part in the experiment，where participants watched Disney film Big Hero 6in either standard format or RealD 3D．
They also carried out a brain-training-style test before and after seeing a section from the film．The test covered memory，reaction times and cognitive function and the results were compared later．
According to the research，which was carried out in partnership with science group Thrill Laboratory，participants experienced a 23percent increase in cognitive processing，as well as an 11percent increase in reaction times．
Dr Fagan said that the results showed enough of an improvement in brain function to suggest that 3D could play a part in improving brain power in the future．
"These findings are more significant than you might think，"he said．"It is a fact that people are living longer and there is a noticeable decline in cognitive brain function in old age which can worsen future quality of life．There has never been a better time to look at ways to improve brain function．The initial results of this study show that 3D films may potentially play a role in slowing this decline．"
A second part of the experiment involved those watching the film being fitted with headsets that scanned brain activity and this too showed heightened （加强的） activity when watching 3D．According to the results，participants were seven percent more engaged with what they were watching，adding to argument that 3D movies are more like watching real-life---something Professor Brendan Walker from Thrill Laboratory agreed with．
"As Professor Brendan Walker's test concluded，3D films are more attractive and heighten the senses---this，in turn，makes the brain run at quicker speeds，"Dr Fagan said．

A．have a good exercise for their brain
B．lose their short memory of its plots

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
A．Because REM takes place just after you sleep．
B．Because REM can store more information．
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．
