听力原文:M: Hi, Sandy. I heard you'd been to the West Coast.
W: Yes, I was home yesterday.
M: Welcome back. How was your trip?
W: Terrific. I had a wonderful time. It was really nice to get away from the city for a while.
M: Where did you go first?
W: Los Angeles. We stayed there for a week.
M: What did you think of it?
W: It was all right. I liked it better than I had thought I would. It was very clean and spacious, and it had lots of trees. The problem was transportation. The bus service was terrible, and of course, they didn't have a subway, so it was a little difficult to get around. We had to rent a car.
M: And what did you see?
W: Oh, the usual things. We took a drive around Hollywood and looked at the stars' homes, and then we went to Universal Studios and Disneyland.
M: How did you like Disneyland?
W: It was great! We really enjoyed it. We took all the fides, some of them twice, and bad lots of fun. I felt just like a kid again.
M: Was the weather good?
W: Oh, yeah. It was nice and warm in Los Angeles and cool but comfortable in San Francisco.
M: Cool in San Francisco? That's surprising.
W: Yeah, it surprised us a bit, too. We didn't take any sweaters. But they say it's always like that in August. Anyway, I just loved it. It's probably the most beautiful town in the U.S. with all those hills, the bay, and those charming old Victorian houses.
M: So, you like it better than Los Angeles?
W: Oh, yes. There's so much to see and do. And because it's smaller than Los Angeles, it's a lot easier to get around. There're lots of buses and cable cars.
M: Well, I can't wait to have a look with my own eyes.

Scientists say they now have proof to support the old-fashioned advice that it ' s best to sleep on aproblem. They say sleep strengthens the memory and helps the brain organize the masses of infor-mation we receive each day.
Lead researcher Bob Stickgold at the Harvard Medical School said , " Sleep helps us draw rules from our experiences. It' s like knowing the difference between dogs and cats even if it' s hard to explain. "
The US research team studied how well students remembered connections between words and symbols(象征 ) , reports New Scientist. They compared how the students performed if they had had a sleep between seeing the words and having the test, and if they had not slept. They found that people were better able to remember lists of related words after a night' s sleep than after the same time spent awake during the day. They also found it easier to remember themes(主题) that the words had in common. But they forgot around one in four more themes if they had been awake.
Prof. John Groeger, of Surrey University ' s Sleep Research Centre, said, "People have been trying for years to find out what the purpose of sleep is, as we know that only certain parts of it have a restorative (有助恢复的 ) value. "
" We form. and store huge numbers of experiences in the head every day , and sleep seems to be the way the brain deals with it all. "
68. The phrase " to sleep on a problem" in Paragraph l most likely means to _________ .
[A]pay full attention to a problem
[B] wait until later for a decision
[C] sleep to forget a problem
[D] have difficulty sleeping
Men still did not know how to make a fire. When they had a fire they did not let it stop burning. If it went out, they could not start it again. They had to wait for lightning to start another fire! Sometimes they had to wait for years.
Later they discovered how to make a fire. If you rub pieces of wood together, they become hot and burn. You have to rub very fast! One way of doing it is to make a little hole in a piece of wood. Pieces of wood or dry leaves are put into the hole. Then you put the end of a stick into the hole. You rub the stick between your hands. This makes it turn very quickly. The end in the hole becomes very hot. The small pieces of wood and dry leaves begin to burn.
Another way of making a fire is to knock two stones together. This makes a spark. You can use this spark to start a fire. Nowadays we have matches. We can carry them in our pockets and make a fire when we want to. We also have cigarette lighters. They are, perhaps, handier and more useful than matches. There are, of course, other advanced methods of making a fire. Many people use heaters to keep warm. Oil heaters bum oil. Gas heaters burn gas. Electric heaters use electricity. We also use oil, gas and electricity for cooking.
