In October,2021,three Chinese astronauts,Wang Yaping,Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu,

object movement.They were quite curious about what it's like to live in space.

节)
famous as the first Chinese woman to go on a spacewalk.She had before spent several hours outside
the station with Zhai,fixing equipment and doing tests.

and found that our 'space classroom'is now bigger,the content of the class is more colourful and

Do you know how many kinds of breakfast cereal (there are in my local supermarket?
165 kinds!That's just one product.Think about all the varieties of biscuits,yoghourt,and chocolate
bars.We have so much choice these days.It's unbelievable!
So all this choice must be a good thing,right?It makes us happier,right?Well,not necessarily.
People like the idea of having a choice,and many people think more choice must be a good thing.
But,in fact,too much choice can cause us problems.If there are too many different things to choose
from,we can't know what to choose.If you offer me a choice of three cookies,I can decide quickly
which one I want.But if you offer me a choice of 33 cookies,my brain crashes.
Another problem with too much choice is that we think there must be the perfect cookie
somewhere.The fact is,there isn't-so when we have spent half an hour deciding which cookie we
want,we feel dissatisfied,because it's not as good as expected.It's not cookie perfection.And then
we begin to regret all the other cookies we didn't choose,thinking one of them might have been
better.
So there can be such a thing as too much choice.We need to recognize that while some choice
is good,too much can leave us at a loss.We should focus on being pleased with what we choose.I
am going to remember this next time I'm offered a cookie-choose one and enjoy it!
9.What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A.To sell a product.
B.To express surprise.
C.To introduce the topic.
D.To answer a question.

You drove ten hours to your aunt's house,and you're ready to get some sleep in the guest
room.But though you're so tired,sleep just docsn't come.You turn from side to side in bed all
night.And finally,when you do fall asleep,you wake up just an hour later.It's so easy to fall asleep
in your own bed.So why can't you sleep well here?
Martha Hotz Vitaterna,a brain scientist,knows all about this problem."In some sleep research
circles,this is called the 'first night effect',"she says."People do not sleep well the first night.There
is less slow brainwave activity,meaning not as much time in deep sleep.In animal studies,we see
his phenomenon(现象)as well.”
The fact that this happens in other animals,too,makes scientists think that bad sleep in new places
is the result of a very old process inside your brain.It may date back to the time long before humans
evolved ()When you're in your own bed,your brain knows it's home and you will be safe.It can
relax and fall into a deep,healthy sleep.But when you sleep in an unfamiliar place,your brain stays
slightly attentive to make sure no dangers are nearby.Even familiar sounds still make you worried.
What's that?Is it dangerous?It wakes up the brain to keep you ready to escape if you need to.
But there's good news:for most people,after just one or two nights in a new place,our
anxious brains start to feel safe again.And finally we can have a full night of sleep.
13.What is the "first night effect"?
A.Poor sleep on the first night.
B.Less rapid brainwave activity.
C.Long deep sleep all night.
D.Good habit of sleeping.
14.From paragraph 3 we know that bad sleep in new places
A.brings danger to health
B.exists only in humans
C.has bad effects on the brain
D.has a very long history
15.Why is it harder to sleep in new places?
A.There are real dangers nearby.
B.New beds feel uncomfortable.
C.People feel unsafe and worried.
D.The brain stops working normally.
