51．A．turn B．leave C．grow D．become——青夏教育精英家教网—

　 Occasional sleepwalking does not tend to present a problem and most children grow out of it．If it happens every night and causes problems, then sleep disorder specialists suggest that parents spend a week noting the time when sleepwalking tends to happen, and then gently wake the child about fifteen minutes before this time. This will often break the cycle.

　 So what should you do if you find your relative sleepwalking? For a start, they are in such a deep sleep that they will probably not notice you, even if you try to wake them．If you do succeed in walking them, they will become distressed. Everyone has experienced that feeling of confusion when the alarm awakens you from deep sleep, instead of the lighter sleep we are usually experiencing by the time our alarms sound. I once had the shock of being woken by a crash and found myself in the kitchen, standing barefoot and surrounded by broken glass. I’d tried to get a glass of water while sleepwalking, but like most sleepwalkers I failed to turn on the light, and had smashed the glass against the tap.

　 Walking a sleepwalker will not cause them to have a heart attack, but the kindest thing to do is not try to wake them at all. Lead them gently back to bed so that they do not hurt themselves. They will remain deeply asleep, and it is likely that will not remember a thing in the morning.

56．What do the specialists advise the parents to do to avoid their children’s sleepwalking?

　 A．Go to bed with their children at the same time．

　 B．Keep a record of the time when children wake up．

　 C．Take 15 minutes to wake children from sleepwalking．

　 D．Try some time to break the cycle of the sleepwalking．

57．When a sleepwalker is suddenly woken, he is most likely to　．

　 A．die from heart attack　 B．do some cooking

　 C．feel lost　 D．become relaxed

58．What should we do to deal with a sleepwalking relative?

　 A．Do nothing but take him back to bed．

　 B．Try every means to wake him at once．

　 C．Leave your relative where he stays．

　 D．Send him to a specialist immediately．

59．What is the best title for the text?

　 A．Sleep Disorder B．Sleepwalking　 C．Sleep Advice D．Sleepwalkers

阅读理解，阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　About this time every year, I get very nostalgic(怀旧的)．Walking through my neighborhood on a fall afternoon reminds me of a time not too long ago when sounds of children filled the air, children playing games on a hill, and throwing leaves around in the street below．I was one of those children, carefree and happy．I live on a street that is only one block long．I have lived on the same street for sixteen years．I love my street．One side has six houses on it, and the other has only two houses, with a small hill in the middle and a huge cottonwood tree on one end．When I think of home, I think of my street．Only I see it as it was before．Unfortunately things change．One day, not long ago, I looked around and saw how different everything has become．Life on my street will never be the same because neighbors are quickly grown old, friends are growing up and leaving, and the city is planning to destroy my precious hill and sell the property to contractors．

　　It is hard for me to accept that many of my wonderful neighbors are growing old and won't be around much longer．I have fond memories of the couple across the street, who sat together on their porch swing almost every evening, the widow next door who yelled at my brother and me for being too loud, and the crazy old man in a black suit who drove an old car．In contrast to those people, the people I see today are very old neighbors who have seen better days．The man in the black suit says he wants to die, and another neighbor just sold his house and moved into a nursing home．The lady who used to yell at us is too tired to bother any more, and the couple across the street rarely go out to their front porch these days．It is difficult to watch these precious people as they near the end of their lives because at once I thought they would live forever．

　　The “comings and goings” of the younger generation of my street are now mostly “goings” as friends and peers move on．Once upon a time, my life and the lives of my peers revolved around home．The boundary of our world was the gutter at the end of the street．We got pleasure from playing night games or from a breathtaking ride on a tricycle．Things are different now, as my friends become adults and move on．Children who rode tricycles now drive cars．The kids who once played with me now have new interests and values as they go their separate ways．Some have gone away to college like me, a few got married, two went into the army, and one went to prison．Watching all these people grow up and go away makes me long for the good old days．

　　Perhaps the biggest change on my street is the fact that the city is going to turn my precious hill into several lots for now homes．For sixteen years, the view out of my kitchen window has been a view of that hill．The hill was a fundamental part of my childhood life; it was the hub of social activity for the children of my street．We spent hours there building forts, sledding, and playing tag．The view out of my kitchen window now is very different; it is one of tractors and dump trucks tearing up the hill．When the hill goes, the neighborhood will not be the same．It is a piece of my childhood．It is a visual reminder of being a kid．Without the hill, my street will be just another pea in the pod．

　　There was a time when my street was my world, and I thought my world would never change．But something happened．People grow up, and people grow old．Places changes, and with the change comes the heartache of knowing I can never go back to the times I loved．In a year or so, I will be gone just like many of my neighbors．I will always look back to my years as a child, but the place I remember will not be the silent street whose peace is interrupted by the sounds of construction．It will be the happy, noisy, somewhat strange, but wonderful street I knew as a child．
