Part II Reading Comprehension
Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. Read the passagescarefully and then choose the best answer from the four choices to answer each question.
Passage 1
It is quite clear that sleeping is necessary to everyone. If we don’t get enough sleep, we will feel tired.
Generally, we have two kinds of sleep: active sleep and passive sleep. The passive sleep gives us the rest our bodies need, and prepares us for active sleep, in which dreaming appears.
In passive sleep, the body is at relaxation. The heart slows down. We move little. And the brain becomes very inactive. If a person continues to sleep, the brain temperature rises, the amount of blood in the brain increases, the body becomes very, very still, and the brain goes from being inactive to being active. And as the brain becomes more active the eyes begin to move rapidly. When the eyes begin to move, this is a sign of another change: the person is dreaming.
Throughout the night a person usually dreams for about one and a half hours. Many people say that they don’t dream or that they rarely dream. Doctors have studied the sleep and have found that everyone dreams. It appears that we need passive sleep in order to rest our bodies and need active sleep in order to rest our brains.
