单选题 Sleep Necessary for Memories Burning the midnight oil before an exam or interview does harm to the performance according to a recent research which found that sleep is necessary for memories to he taken back into the brain. A good night's sleep within 30 hours of trying to remember a new task is a required condition of having good recall in the weeks ahead, scientists have found. The research, published in the December issue of Nature Neuroscience, showed that it was the act of sleep, rather than the simple passage of time, that was critical for long-term memory formation. "We think that getting that first night's sleep starts the process of memory consolidation (巩固)," said Robert Stickgold, a sleep researcher at Harvard Medical School who conducted the latest study. "It seems that memories normally wash out of the brain unless some process nails them down. My suspicion is that sleep is one of those things that does the nailing down," Professor Stickgold said. With about one in five people claiming that they are so chronically short of sleep that it affects their daily activities, the latest work emphasizes the less well-understood side effect—serious memory impairment (损害). Volunteers in an experiment found it easier to remember a memory task if they were allowed to sleep that night. But for those kept awake, no amount of subsequent sleep made up for the initial loss. Professor Stickgold's team trained 24 people to identify the direction of three diagonal (斜线形的) bars flashed for a sixtieth of a second on a computer screen full of horizontal (水平的) stripes. Half of the subjects were kept awake that night, while the others slept. Both groups were allowed to sleep for the second and third nights to make up for any differences in tiredness between the volunteers. Those who slept the first night were significantly and consistently better at remembering the task while the second group showed no improvement despite enjoying two nights of catch-up sleep.

单选题 The Choice of an Occupation Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training. Ideally, therefore, the choice of an occupation should be made even before the choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually, {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}, most people make several job choices during their working lives, {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}because of economic and industrial changes and partly to improve {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}position. The "one perfect job" does not exist. Young people should {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}enter into a broad flexible training program that will fit them for a field of work rather than for a single {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}. Unfortunately, many young people have to make career plans without benefit of help from a competent vocational counselor or psychologist. Knowing {{U}} {{U}} 6 {{/U}} {{/U}}about the occupational world, or themselves for that matter, they choose their lifework on a hit-or-miss basis. Some drift from job to job. Others {{U}} {{U}} 7 {{/U}} {{/U}}to work in which they are unhappy and for which they are not fitted. One common mistake is choosing an occupation for {{U}} {{U}} 8 {{/U}} {{/U}}real or imagined prestige. Too many high-school students or their parents for them choose the professional field, {{U}} {{U}} 9 {{/U}} {{/U}}both the relatively small proportion of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal {{U}} {{U}} 10 {{/U}} {{/U}}The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a "White-collar" job is no good reason for choosing it as life's work. {{U}} {{U}} 11 {{/U}} {{/U}}, these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large proportion of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the {{U}} {{U}} 12 {{/U}} {{/U}}of young people should give serious {{U}} {{U}} 13 {{/U}} {{/U}}to these fields. Before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants {{U}} {{U}} 14 {{/U}} {{/U}}life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people desire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want security; others are willing to take {{U}} {{U}} 15 {{/U}} {{/U}}for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demands as well as its rewards.
