In early summer, one of the most popular fruits is strawberry(草莓). It is said strawberry is the “Queen of fruit” as it has many nutritious elements. But many people feel that the strawberry in the current market tastes different as many strawberries are artificially(人工地)grown and some even have a scent of pesticides(杀虫剂). So finding naturally-grown strawberries is a hot issue. There are some places where you can not only find tasteful strawberries, but also enjoy picking them.

Even while in a deep sleep, people can still learn brand new information. Sleepers soak in new associations between smells and sounds, knowledge that lingers(逗留) into the next waking day, researchers report online August 26 in Nature Neuroscience.

The new study is the first to show that entirely new information can get into the sleeping mind, says Anat Arzi of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. “The brain is not passive while you sleep. It’s quite active. You can do quite a lot of things while you are asleep.”

But the results don’t mean that Spanish vocabulary tapes now have a place on the nightstand. Researchers have tried but largely failed to find evidence that complicated information, such as new pairs of words, can make its way into the brain during sleep.

Instead of trying to teach people something complicated like a new language, Arzi and her colleagues relied on the sense of smell and hearing. As anyone who has walked by a dumpster（垃圾车） in July knows, smells can elicit a nose-jerk reaction. Catching a bad smell automatically makes people inhale（吸气）less, reducing the size of the inhale. But a scent of fresh bread causes a long, deep inhale. Arzi and her team took advantage of this reaction for their experiment.

As people slept in the laboratory, the researchers delivered pleasant scent, such as shampoo. As this nice smell got into the sleepers’ noses, the researchers played a particular music. Later, a disgusting smell, such as rotten fish or carrion(腐肉), was paired with a different music. Neither the smell nor the sound woke people up. After just four exposures to the smell-music pair during a single night, the sleepers started to automatically respond to the tones without the accompanying smells, taking in bigger breaths when the shampoo-associated tone played and smaller breaths when played the sound linked to the rotten fish smell.
    This new learned association lingered into the next waking day, too. Even though the sleepers had no idea they had been exposed to smells or sounds, their behavior proved that their brain had actually learned something during sleep. As before, the shampoo sound stimulated a long, deep inhale, while the rotten fish tone caused more shallow breaths.

66. We can infer from the passage that            .

A. While sleeping, we can learn whatever we want to learn.    

B. We will increase the size of inhale if we catch a pleasant smell.   

C. The knowledge we learned while sleeping will be forgotten in the next waken day.     

D. when walking by a bakery, the fresh bread will cause a nose-jerk reaction.

67. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A. One can’t acquire complicated knowledge during the sleeping hours.     

B. Spanish vocabulary tapes now have a place on the nightstand.   

C. Researchers have tried to find evidence that the new words can be learned during sleep.    

D. Complicated information can make its way into the brain during sleep.

68. How do Arzi and her team do their research?

A. By giving instructions.                   B. By analyzing human brains.  

C. By following the guides of others.          D. By doing experiments.

69. What’s the topic of this passage?

A. Different tone signifies different meaning

B. Arzi and her team learned the tones while sleep  

C. Brain still learns while you sleep

D. Sleepers had no idea what they had learned

70. In which part of a website may this passage most likely appear?

A. Culture             B. Science                 C. History                 D. Economy

　　Several years ago I worked in an office, which I had a locust tree growing outside the window. It had grown into a tall tree and must have been there for a long time. The tree blocked the view and made the office seem dull, unfortunately this happened to be the room assigned to me and I was depressed by it for quite some time.
　　When the first spring came, everything was green except the locust tree. Secretly, I was very happy because I had thought it had died.
　　One morning when I opened the window for fresh air, I unexpectedly smelt a familiar sweet scent floating into my office but I couldn’t name it. Suddenly, I realized it was the locust tree! The tree that I thought dead was blossoming in full glory.
　　From then on, I usually came to the office very early to see dew forming on the locust tree blossoms and every year was eager to see spring again.
　　During summer, the green leaves provided shade protecting me from the harsh sunlight, but allowing enough light in to make it pleasant. In autumn, the leaves turned into many different colors. Its beauty touched my soul. Many times I thought to take photos but never did. Then I had to leave in a hurry. Later in life it became a great regret that I had not done so.
　　Actually, many times in our lives, we think we own something, therefore we don’t cherish it. We don’t feel regretful until we lose it one day! Moreover, sometimes, we have to accept the things we don’t want and need to discover the hidden beauty to find unexpected joy!
