7、r sure he was a match. Then he broke the news.“Mark said he was going to be my liver donor, and you can only imagine the emotions that I felt at that point, Dave said.

Magic of TransplantCHave you ever woken up in a new place and realized with disappointment that you are still tired? I am thinking, for example, of the first night in a hotel at th

14、e start of your holidays, a night staying with friends, or the first night of a business trip.FNE, or first night effect, has been known of for a long time. So far, scientists havent been able to come up with a reasonable explanation for it, which has kept sleep researcher Masako Tamaki awake at nig

15、ht. So, she brought together a team of experts in human brain processes and began to look for answers. After examining dozens of brains of people while they slept in a new place, they found that the activity of both hemispheres （半球）of the brain was obviously different from normal.In a new place, we

16、sleep a little like some animals. One hemisphere falls asleep completely, but the other remains alert （警惕）.This is what happens with, for example, dolphins. In humans, the second hemisphere also goes to sleep, but this is an unusually shallow sleep. This is in order to react to possible threats （威胁）

17、.Of course, in the majority of cases, we are not at risk of being tom apart by a tiger, but evolutionary （进化的）changes have not kept pace with our lifestyle changes. This is why, during the first night in a new environment, almost any noise can wake us up: the creaking of a door, or the distant barki

18、ng of a puppy. In most cases, the left hemisphere is on night watch. Will we always be like this? Another scientist, Yuki Sasaki, says that, because of the relative peace and security of our existence, over time this function of the human brain will be lost.Meanwhile, when turning out the light in a

19、 new place, its best to give up on any hope of a good nights sleep. Evolution works slowly.18. What did Masako Tamakis team try to find?A. The reason for her poor sleep.B. The explanation for first night effect.C. The solution to her sleeping problem.D. The secret of human brain processes.19. What h

20、appens when humans are in a new place?A. They change their lifestyle.B. They function like animals.C. They face possible threats when asleep.D. They sleep with part of the brain alert.20. What can be inferred about FNE?A. It will be harmful to human brain.B. It is necessary for human security.C. It

21、will not disappear in a short time.D. It has little influence on human sleep.21. Which section of a website is the passage probably from?A. Science. B. Travel. C. History. D. Lifestyle.DIn the early 1970s American women gave birth, on average, to 2.12 children each. By 2018 that number had fallen to

22、 1.73. Jordan Nickerson and David Solomon, professors at MIT, think they have found an interesting factor which help explain this change: Americas increasingly protective child car-seat laws.Their study examines the effect that car-seat policies may have had on American birth rates. During the 1980s

23、, only the children aged under three had to be secured in child-safety seats. But since then, the requirements have been slowly increased. Today, most places in America make children sit in safety seats until their eighth birthdays. That concern for youngsters safety has had the unexpected consequen

24、ce of fewer three-child families.In drawing this conclusion they have connected population data with changes in state laws on safety seats. They discovered that stricter laws had no noticeable effects on the rates of births of first and second children, but with a drop, on average, of 0.73 percentag

25、e points in the number of women giving birth to a third while the first two were young enough to need safety seats.The professors also made two other related observations. The reduction they saw was limited to families that did actually have access to a car. And space in the vehicle is the important

26、 factor. In pre-safety-seat days, putting three young children into the back of a family car was a perfectly practical advice. Most such cars, though, can comfortably accommodate only two safety seats, So, as the child car-seat laws change, a family must wait longer time for a third child to fit in

27、the car. Sometimes, that wait will mean no third child is ever bom.Unless, of course, the family concerned buys a bigger car. But average families have the obvious reasons not to do so big cars cost more, and are more costly to run. Interestingly, Dr Nickerson and Dr Solomon found that the third-chi

28、ld deterrent （遏制作用）appears even stronger among wealthier families. As they observe, large cars may reflect their real status and taste, which may make people unwilling to switch even when they can afford to.”22. What is the passage mainly about?A. Changes in American car-seat laws.B. Ways to ensure

29、childrens safety in cars.C. Influence of car-seat laws on American birthrate.D. The connection between cars and American birthrate.23. What contributes to fewer three-child families according to Paragraph 4?A. The space of the family car.B. The familys economic status.C. The quality of child safety

30、seats.D. The desire to have a third child.24. What can be inferred about big cars from the last paragraph?A. They are a symbol of wealth.B. They are affordable to most families.C. They are more popular among richer families.D. They are unable to solve child birth rates problem.25. How did the two professors reach the conclusion of their study?A. By comparing data. B. By ma
