"Where do you think you are? "he asked. I turned sharply. "The McNay Art Museum! " He smiled, shaking his head. "Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street. ""what's this place? "I asked, still confused. "Well, it's our home." My heart jolted(震惊 )， I raced to the staircase and called out, "Sally! Come down immediately!"‎ ‎"There's some really good stuff（艺术作品）up there. "She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying "Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place."

However, many adults do not get eight hours of sleep each night. The average adult today gets only 6.4 hours of sleep. Only in recent years have health professionals begun to realize the seriousness of sleep deprivation in the working population. A significant number of people work at night, work long hours, or suffer from sleeplessness or jet lag.‎ ‎ Studies show that the brain is negatively affected by sleep deprivation because certain patterns of electrical and chemical activity that occur during sleep are interrupted and the brain cannot function normally． In one study， thirteen healthy adult subjects（实验对象） who usualIy had normal sleep patterns were kept awake and carefully monitored in a lab during a period of 35 hours. During the experiment, the subjects were asked to perform several tasks, such as mathematics and word problems, while undergoing scans of their brain activity. The researchers found that the temporal lobe (颞叶) of the brain, the region involved in language processing，was active during speech tasks in rested subjects but not in subjects who lacked enough sleep.‎ After several hours without sleep, there was no activity within this region.‎ Several studies show that getting fewer than six hours of sleep can damage short-term memory and reaction time----thus causing a serious risk of accident. In one study of drivers, researchers reported that sleep deprivation had the same effects as being drunk. They found that people who drove after being awake for 17 hours performed worse than those with a blood alcohol level of 0.5 percent, the legal limit for drunk driving in most western European countries. The researchers concluded that countries with drunk driving laws should consider similar restrictions against sleep-deprived driving.‎ ‎28.

The passage mentions all of the following as causes of sleep deprivation EXCEPT__________.‎ A. jet lag. B. long work hours. C.boring work D. working at night ‎30. The purpose of the study described in Paragraph 2 was to determine_______‎ A. how many hours people can survive without sleep B. how people react when their sleep is interrupted C. the changes in brain activity that occurs during sleep D. the effects of sleep deprivation on brain activity ‎31. Why does the author mention blood alcohol level in Paragraph 3?‎ A.To show how sleep deprivation reduces the blood alcohol level.‎ B. To show that sleep deprivation has the same dangerous effects as being drunk.‎ C. To suggest that sleep-deprived drivers are also likely to drink D. To argue against raising the legal limit for drunk driving.‎ ‎ D ‎ Encouraging life to bloom(兴旺 ) in the middle of a desert is no easy task. But one company in the United Arab Emirates has come up with a plan to provide drinking water for the state' s citizens.The company intends to drag icebergs from Antarctica to the gulf coast in order to harvest its freshwater.‎ The company plans to source the massive blocks of ice from Heard Island, around 600 miles off the coast of mainland Antarctica. It will then transport them around 5,500 miles to Fujarrah, one part of the UAE. One iceberg could provide enough water for one million people over five years, according to the company.‎ The company's director says they have already travelled the transportation route and checked the possibility of the scheme, according to reports in Gulf News. Speaking to the site about what he is calling the UAE Iceberg Project, Abdullah Mohammad Sulaiman Al Shehi said,"We have made the technical and financial plan. We will start the project at the beginning of 2018. We want it mainly for the water. It could also be good for tourism and the weather."‎ The UAE is one of the driest countries in the world due to its extremely arid climate which ‎ receives less than four inches of rainfall per year. Despite that, it consumes more water than double the global national average, putting the country at severe risk of droughts over the next 25 years.‎ An average iceberg contains more than 20 billion gallons of water, according to the company.The iceberg takes a long time to melt as 80 percent of it is underwater, while the white ice above reflects sunlight and deflects(转移) its heat. Blocks of ice will be placed in giant tanks before being processed. " This is the purest water in the world. "Mr. Al Shehi added.‎ ‎32. What can we learn about the UAE project?‎ A.
