Scattered(分散) throughout the various reports on sleep research are several that describe some unusual behavior by people who are sleepwalking. These include eating, making phone calls and even murder.

Now, there’s a new case appearing in one more study on this strange phenomenon: sleep e-mailing. In an article published in journal Sleep Medicine, Seton Hall University researchers document the following case of a 44-year-old woman:

This woman received a puzzling phone call from a friend who said she was accepting her dinner invitation ― an invitation that the woman could not remember having made.

The friend reminded the woman of the e-mail she had sent the night before ― an e-mail of which the woman also had no recollection（记忆）. However, a quick search through her sent e-mail folder did turn up one strange e-mail. She had apparently sent it to her friend ― at 11:47 the previous night.

The puzzling message said: “I don’t get it. Please explain Lucy! Come tomorrow and sort this out! Dinner and drinks, 4 pm? Wine and caviar (鱼子酱) to bring only. Everything else, a guess?

There were two other e-mails sent to her friend at 11:50pm and 11:53 pm, each of which seemed to be written in a strange language, full of capitalization errors and phrases that didn’t make sense. According to Dr Fouzia Siddiqui, lead author of the case study, this particular sleepwalking case was unique and was the first and only published account of “sleep e-mailing”.

“Sleepwalking has occurred in the past where people would undertake other activities such as cooking or moving furniture around,” Siddiqui said. “ But this case is unique in that she wasn’t just sleeping but doing complex things like turning on her computer, remembering her user name and password and typing entire e-mails.”

Just what is sleepwalking? It is actually a kind of sleep disorder. Studies have found that somewhere between 5 and 10 percent of people are sleepwalkers.

It comes from a mixture of wakefulness and non-REM (非快速眼动期) sleep. Sleepwalkers can carry out complex behavior such as driving, walking, e-mailing and telephoning in a sleep-like state. People with high levels of stress and anxiety, or those who have a family history of sleepwalking are more likely to experience it.

完成句子。（每小题2分，共10分）

________________(从那天起), I never spoke to him again.

He managed to make himself understood ______________(在….的帮助下) body language.

Would you please_____________(看守，照看)my things when I am away?

The two companies are ____________(与….比赛；与….竞争)each other.

He made a big mistake, and , _____________ , (结果)lost his job.

  The whole morning we just checked our own things. We were looking for items to give away. We thought of blankets, food and clothing. Our aim was not to find things we no longer wanted, but things we use every day and would be useful to others.

  We made up boxes with the things and added some small toys. Inside the boxes a simple letter was placed, reading:

  “Please take these items and know that your life is important. Times are difficult but they will pass. We share what we have, believing it will matter. Use the blanket to stay warm. Be safe and know that the human spirit can overcome anything. Don’t hold your head down. Someday please do the same when you can. How you do it and when, your heart will tell you.

  This kind act was not because the phone rang or for any reason. It was simply because it was the right time to do. We have often seen homeless people at the park where we left the belongings. The city would say that it isn’t a problem but I see the lives walking to and from it.

  I noticed that my wife had put her favorite green coat into one of the boxes. I asked if she was sure about it and she simply replied that it had a hood (风帽). She liked the coat but knew the hood could shelter (遮挡)someone from the rain.

  We don’t know where these gifts of compassion（同情）will go. We never go back and see what happens. It’s unimportant. The right things will find the right people and that is all that counts. On the way my wife started to cry. When I asked why, she said because some things felt so right.
