单选题Art is considered by many people to be little more than a decorative means of giving pleasure. This is not always the case, however, at times, art may be seen to have a purely functional side as well. Such could be said of the sand paintings of the Navaho Indians of the American Southwest; these have a medicinal as well as an artistic purpose. According to Navaho traditions, one who suffers from either a mental or physical illness has in some way disturbed or come in contact with the supernatural--perhaps a certain animal, a ghost or the dead. To counteract this evil contact, one of his relatives will employ a medicine man called a "singer" to perform a healing ceremony which will attract a powerful supernatural being. During the ceremony, which may last from 2 to 9 days, the "singer" will produce a sand-painting on the floor of the Navaho Hogan. On the last day of the ceremony, the patient will sit on this sand-painting and the "singer" will rub the ailing parts of the patient's body with sand from a specific figure in the sand-painting. In this way the patent absorbs the power of that particular supernatural being and becomes strong like it. After the ceremony, the sand-painting is then destroyed and disposed of, so its power will not harm anyone. The art of sand-painting is handed dawn from old "singers" to their students. The materials used are easily found in the areas the Navaho inhabit; brown, red, yellow and white sandstone, which is pulverized by being crushed between 2 stones much as com is ground into flour. The "singer" holds a small amount of this sand in his hand and lets it flow between his thumb and forefingers onto a clean, flat surface on the floor. With a steady hand end great patience, he is thus able to create designs of stylized people, snakes and other creatures that have power in the Navaho belief system, the traditional Navaho does not allow reproduction of sand-paintings, since he believes the supernatural powers that taught him the craft have forbidden this; however, such reproductions can in fact be purchased today in tourist shops in Arizona and New Mexico. These are done by either Navaho Indians or by other people who wish to preserve this craft.

单选题People who do sleep research tell us that a person is a sort of "information processor." We have two ways to use the information we get each day. 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 right 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.
