sleep!"
These are people who have taken part in one of the recent experiments to test learn-while-you-sleep
methods, which are now being tried in several countries, and with several subjects, of which English is only
one.
Specialists say that this sleep-study method speeds language learning greatly. They say that the average
(平均) person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period during the day — and
this does not affect his rest in any way. A word of warning, however, sleep-teaching will only force your head
to learn what you have studied already while you are awake.
In one experiment, ten lessons were broadcast over the radio continually for two weeks. Each lesson
lasted twelve hours — from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. . The first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary were
given with the student awake. At 11 p.m. a sleep song was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the
next three hours the radio whispered the lesson again into his sleeping ears. At 2 a.m. a sharp noise was sent
over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to review the lesson. Then soft songs went
him back to rest again while the radio went on. At 5 o'clock his sleep ended and he had to go through the lesson
again for three hours before breakfast.
B. is more acceptable
C. is more tiring
D. is harder
B. learns how to sleep better
C. is made to review his lessons in sleep
D. can listen to broadcast while in bed
B. after soft songs were broadcast
C. while the student was awake
D. all through the twelve hours
B. be wakened by a loud noise
C. listen to the lesson again in sleep
D. review the lesson by himself

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.
One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one's own.
Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one's free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of nature.
Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional (偶尔的) walk in one of the parks and a fortnight's (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest of the country they are quite prepared to spend with those who are glad to get away from London every night.
