Researchers have foundthat REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is important to human beings. This type ofsleep generally occurs four or five times during one night of sleep lastingfive minutes to forty minutes for each occurrence. The deeper a person’s sleepbecomes, the longer the periods of rapid eye movement.
There are physical charges in thebody to show that a person has changed from NREM (non-rapid eye movement) toREM sleep. Breathing becomes faster, the heart rate increases, and, as the nameimplies, the eyes begin to move quickly.

The Mother GooseStories, so well known to children all over the word, are commonly said to havebeen written by a little old woman for her grandchildren. According to somepeople, she lived in Boston, and her real name was Elizabeth Vergoose. Herson-in-law, a printer named Thomas Fleet, was supposed to have published thefamous stories and poems for small children in 1719. However, no copy of thisbook has ever been found, and most scholars doubt the truth of this story-anddoubt, moreover, that Mother Goose was ever a real person. They point out thatthe name is a direct translation of the French “Mere I’ Oye.” In 1697 theFrenchman Charles Perrault published the first book in which this name wasused. The collection contains eight tales, including “Sleeping Beauty,”“Cinderella,” and “Puss in Boots.” But Perrault did not originate thesestories; they were already quite popular in his day, and he only collectedthem.

PassageThree
Banks are notordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors (储户)not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fearthat a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then thatfear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, thebank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once,then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their moneywhen they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank runthat she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to openin a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day,and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller hadenough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told thetellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and onthe sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bankcould not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight forplaces near the tellers’ windows, The power of the panic atmosphere was suchthat two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and couldpay all depositors, drew their own money from the bank. Mrs Vaught says thatshe had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.
71. A bank run happenswhen _______.

PassageFour
One of the greatest problems forthose settlers in Nebraska in the last quarter of the previous century wasfuel. Little of the state was forested when the first settlers arrived and itis probable that by 1880, only about one-third of the originally forested arearemained, down to a mere 1 percent of the state’s 77,000 square miles. Withwood and coal out of the question, and with fuel needed year-round for cooking,and during the harsh winter months for heating, some solution had to be found.
Somewhat improbably, the buffaloprovided the answer. Buffalo chips (干粪块) were found toburn evenly, hotly, and cleanly, with little smoke and interestingly, no odor,Soon, collecting them became a way of life for the settlers’ children who wouldpick them up on their way to and from school, or take part in competitionsdesigned to counteract their natural reluctance. Even a young man, seeking toimpress the girl he wanted to marry, would arrive with a large bag of chipsrather than with a box of candy or a bunch of flowers.

A The solution to theNebraska settlers’ fuel problem.
