The first process is used when we are awake. It takes place in the left side of the brain. It is this process that makes us do the things we have to do. It lets us put aside those things that are not a real part of our day's work.
The second process happens in the fight side of the brain. This process takes all those bits of information we did not use in the day. It turns them to dreams at night. "This process is our regular night shift work," says physiologist Rosalind Cartwright from the University of Illinois. "At night we put together the bits and pieces of our day, so that we are ready to face the next day."
We have several dreams each night of our lives. About ten minutes after we fall asleep, we begin to go through four stages of sleep. Our sleep gets deeper and deeper. And it gets harder for us to wake up. At the end of the fourth and deepest stage, the process changes. We begin to come back up again through the same stages. The coming back up is called "rousal" time. It lasts about ten to twenty minutes. We do not wake in this stage. Instead, we go through a stage of vivid dreams.
In this stage we do not toss or turn or even snore. The brain temperature and the blood flow get much higher. The body goes as limp as a rag doll. And the large muscles in the arms, legs, and trunk go stiff. The eyeballs begin to move back and forth very quickly, even though the eyes are closed. This is called the stage of Rapid Eye Movement or the REM stage.
We go into the REM stage about six times a night. That's once every hour and a half or so. This hour and a half pattern is part of many things in our lives. Lots of body functions happen every hour and a half. Things like stomach contractions (收缩) and hormone secretions (分泌).
Why do we dream? Research tells us that dreams can help us with our problems. When we have big problems in the day, we may spend more time in REM sleep at night, because dreams can bring answers to problems.
Sleep research reveals ______.
A.people do odd things in the first stage of sleep
B.the left side of our brain is responsible for the work that is necessary to deal with during the day
C.the mysteries of dreams have just been brought to light
D.the function of the right side of our brain is to classify the information we fail to handle in the daytime

听力原文:Woman: I get lots of ideas for novels, but I don't necessarily follow them all up. Only when they stick around over a period of years do I realise that a particular idea has really got a hold on me. That's certainly what happened with my latest novel, 'The Red Cord'. Although it's set in my home city of Sydney, Australia, the stirrings of an idea came about ten years ago when I was travelling in China. This was followed by a long period when the idea occasionally came back into my consciousness, each time refined a little more, until I reached a point where I thought I'd better start writing.

听力原文: About seven out of ten people released titan prison end up in prison again sooner or latex. A lot of people think this simply indicates that once a person becomes a criminal he will probably remain a criminal. But of course it doesn't necessarily mean that at all. On the contrary, it could equally suggest that being in prison actually makes people more likely to commit crimes. After all, prisons are full of criminals, and this means that someone going to prison for the first rime is going to meet a lot more criminals than he's met before. So he'll probably learn a lot about crime during his stay there. The fact that so many people are getting re-arrested also suggests that prisons aren't doing enough to train people for jobs they can do when they get out. If they were given this training, ex-prisoners wouldn't need to turn to crime again to make a living.
(20)
A.Because he doesn't want to make a living like ordinary people.
B.Because only the prison can help him to control himself.
C.Because once being in prison, he is more likely to commit crimes.
D.Because he can't find a job when he gets out of the prison.
