24、hugged me.From now on, when I wonder if it is 53 trying to help someone, I will remember that woman. Maybe I am really making a 54 for someone.

38、 course does not guarantee students entrance into a university. It is necessary for students to show during the course that they have understood the information and skills that they have been taught, and can apply them to their work. Pre-sessional students at Gateway Academy will benefit from:

39、Small class sizes (no more than 10 students per class) Twenty three hours of tuition per week Individual support and tutorials Regular guest lecturers The use of the Academys study and recreational facilities, including the Language Library, the computer suite, and the academys sports facilities.

41、 course, students will receive instruction on important techniques such as summary-writing, analysing essay titles, organising writing, note-taking in lectures, giving seminars and making presentations. Students will gain experience in working both individually and in groups. As part of th

42、e course, all students will work towards a 5000-word project in their own field of study. Students will receive guidance from their tutors on how best to conduct research and write it up effectively. Students will also work towards a presentation on the same subject.There is no final exami

47、urses C. introduce approaches to English study  D. attract readers to the courseCWhy can some people sleep through noises like a honking car or flushing toilet, while others are awakened by the lightest sound?To find the answer, sleep researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital conducted an u

48、nusual study of 12 self-described deep sleepers. After tests confirmed that the healthy volunteers were solid sleepers, they took part in a three-night study in the universitys sleep laboratory. The participants spent the night in a big and comfortable room. But the room also included four speakers

49、positioned near the top of the bed.During the night, the deep sleepers were subjected to 14 different recorded sounds, like street traffic, toilets flushing, an ice machine dispensing and an airplane flying overhead. Next door, the researchers monitored their sleep patterns and brain waves.As expect

50、ed, all of the participants slept relatively well, but there were differences in how they responded to the noisy interruptions. Some of the sleepers didnt wake up even when a sound was blasted at 70 decibels (分貝); others were awakened by sounds at 40 or 50 decibels.The researchers discovered that th

51、e difference in a sleepers reaction to noise could be predicted by the level of brain activity called “sleep spindles. A sleep spindle is a burst of high-frequency brain activity coming from deep inside the brain during sleep. The source of the spindles is the thalamus, a part of the brain that send

52、s sensory information to the rest of the cortex (皮層).Before the study, the Massachusetts researchers theorized (推理) that the spindles are the brains way of preventing sensory information from passing through the thalamus and waking the rest of the brain during sleep. They found that the sleepers who

53、 experienced the most sleep spindles during the night were also the soundest sleepers and were least likely to be awakened by noise.Scientists already know that most people become lighter sleepers with age, most likely because older people experience less “slow wave sleep, which is the deepest stage

54、 of sleep. People also produce fewer sleep spindles as they age. But even when controlling for the stage of sleep a person was in, the number of sleep spindles still predicted their risk for awakening because of noise.More research is needed, but the findings suggest that a better understanding of s

55、leep spindles could lead to new behavioral or drug therapies for people with sleep disorders. For instance, future studies may try to determine whether diet, exercise or other behaviors may influence the number of sleep spindles a person produces during the night. 63. Some participants can sleep well through loud noises mainly because _. A. their brains dont respond to outside noises B. their brains react differently to noises C. they adapt to the environment quickly D. they dont pay attention to the monitors64. Scientists believe that the
