A
Christmasis certainly a favorite holiday, especially among childreneverywhere. I remember
believingin Santa when I was a very young girl. However, as I grew older, Iteamed many facts that "proved" his existence as false.Always inquisitiveby nature, I was determined to use tests and observations todetermine whether Santa Claus was real.

Thefirst year of tests happened when I was 5. I decided that if I stayedup all night on Christmas Eve, I could see

ifSanta really did come down the chimney. However, that was a pointlessattempt. I fell asleep that year, and when I .woke up I saw that themilk and cookies left for Santa were all gone and I had a beautifullywrapped present under the tree.

Thenext year, I was able to test if location was an issue with Santa'sdeliveries. That year, my family spent Christmas with the family ofone of my mother's friends. At the time, I decided that if
Santawas all-knowing ,he would know I wasn't home. Sure enough there was apretty pinkpackage waiting for me the next morning, and inside was apretty pink bathrobe(浴衣).

Atage 7, I came up with my final test to see if Santa was real. Thatyear, I didn't send out my
Christmasletter to Santa. That year was interesting, because on Christmas Eve,my mother dragged me to our local Wal-Mart and led me around the toysection. I refused to say a word, but did let my eye fixed on aballet set. I figured that "Santa" wouldn't know what toget me because he shouldn't be able to read my mind. However, motherwould know everything that caught my eye in the store.If I got theballet set the next morning, I would have my evidence. Christmasmorning, there was the ballet set, sitting under the tree. As Ididn't use it much, mother ended up returning it a few days later Sheclaimed Santa was generous enough to leave a receipt. That was theend to my task to discover he existence of Santa.

A.found that Santa Claus was not real
B.doubted whether Santa knew everything
C.got a pretty pink bathrobe from Santa Clause
D. spent Christmas with her mother's friend at home

A.she wanted to help the writer to test his idea
C.she thought the writer liked it
B.the ballet set was very beautiful
D.the writer asked her to buy it

Getrid of addictions while you sleep?Weizmann Institute researcher Dr.Arzi is not
promisingthis yet, but she and Prof.Sobel have shown that changing bad habitsthrough sleep conditioning could someday

bepossible
Afterjust one session in the Neurobiology(神经生物学)Department'ssleep lab, volunteers reported smoking on average 30% fewercigarettes over the course of a week. Volunteers given the sameconditioning while awake did not reduce theirnicotine(尼古丁)coqsumption.

Arziand Sobel had first presented true sleep Teaming in 2012. This is thesame conditioning that Pavlov, a Russian physiologist is bestknown,for discovering the conditioned response,discovered when hetrained dogs to salivate(过量分泌唾液)atthe sound of a bell: Teach the mind to subconsciously associate onesense with another. Their twist was to use smell instead of the bell:We can register and even react to smells while we sleep withoutwaking up. So when the volunteers were exposed throughout the nightto the smell of cigarette smoke together with that of rotten fish didnot remember it in the morning. And yet their need for a “ciggy”
wasnot as strong as it had been.

Thesecond trick was to monitor the sleepers' brain waves and give thesmells at the right stage
ofsleep. The group's previous research had suggested that theassociations are formed and firmed in the brain duringnon-rapid-eye-movement(NREM) sleep一thestage in which researchers believe
thatmemories from the previous day are being strengthened. The new studysupported this finding quite strongly. Arzi points out that theresearch has proven a point about the workings of the sleeping brainShe will be pleased, of course, if clinical researchers adopt themethod and improve on it.

68.According to the passage, volunteers smoked 30% fewer cigarettesprobably because A. Arzi and Sobel tried to prevent them fromsmoking too much
B. they were exposed to the smell of cigarette smoke while awake
C. smoking too much will reduce the effect of their sleep learning
D. they were exposed to the smell of smoke and rotten fish whilesleeping
69.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Arzi is best known for discovering the conditioned response.

B.We can respond to smells while we sleep without waking up C. Pavlovtrained dogs to ring bells and recognize cigarette smells.

D.Memories from the previous day will lose during NREM sleep.

70.The underlined word "ciggy" in Paragraph 2 probably means“”

71.What would be the best title for the passage?

A.Sleep Learning with Bell Could Reduce Salivation B. Sleep Learningwith Smell Could Reduce Addiction C. How Arzi and Sobel Succeed inGiving Up Smoking D. How to Change Bad Habits Through SleepConditioning
