(40 points)Text 1The old traditional saying about sleeping with one eye open in an unfamiliar place may not be too far off the mark. Over the course of three experiments on 35young and healthy volunteers, researchers in a new study measured brain activity during two continuous nights of sleep.Sasaki and colleagues performed a series of lab tests by stimulating the left and then the right hemisphere(大脑的半球)with sounds. On the second night, there wasnt any difference in reactions to tests between the left and right hemispheres, even during deep sleep. This suggests that there is a first-night-only effect specifically in one hemisphere of the brain during deep sleep, the authors conclude. The way participants responded to the sleep lab tests points to the potential for the brain to be on high alert for danger during the first night in unfamiliar surroundings. While this may be bad news for business travelers who regularly make brief overnight trips, it may not be as troublesome for people who go away for longer periods of time, Sasaki added by email. “Frequent travel may lead to unrestful sleep,” Sasaki said. “But if you stay for a few days at the same place, your sleep might catch up.”Some birds have been found to actually sleep with one eye open and one side of the brain awake when theyre in a dangerous setting, and some marine mammals have similar abilities, the authors note. But the new study focuses on healthy volunteers but not people with insomnia or other sleep disorders, the authors note.“The clinical implications havent been confirmed at the moment,” Finan, a psychiatry (精神医学)and behavioral health researcher said. “However, the level of specificity provided by these analyses could be an important first step in understanding what sleep disorders like insomnia(失眠) arise from, which is thought to be driven in many patients by continuing having a lot of worries.”1、What do the underlined words “may not be too far off the mark” in Paragraph 1 mean?AMay make senseBMay be ridiculous.CMay cause argumentsDMay be disturbing.2、What can we know from Paragraph 3?APeople are used to waking up and going to bed early when travelling.BBusiness travelers usually have a brief sleep at night.CIt brings much trouble to those who stay far away from their homes.DIt takes time for
