When US student Olivia Priedeman, 17, woke up one morning, she thought she had had a dream about making plans with a friend.
But it wasn’t a dream. Her phone showed that during the night, Priedeman had read a text message from her friend. She did it while she was fast asleep.
Reading and sending text messages while asleep called ─ "sleep texting"─ is an unusual sleep behaviour, similar to sleep walking. It’s also a growing problem among doctors: young people can’ t live without their cell phones.
One in three teenagers sends more than 100 text messages a day, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project. And at least four out of five teenagers said they sleep with their phone on or near their bed.
Elizabeth Dowdell, a professor at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, has studied sleep texting. She said that having a phone nearby all night is a big part of the problem.
Andrew Stiehm, a sleep medicine researcher with Allina Health in Minnesota, agrees. It’s possible for the part of the brain that controls skills to wake up, while the part of the brain that controls memory and judgment(判断) may be still asleep. That’s why some people can perform basic movements — such as walking, talking, texting or even driving while they’re sleeping. Some of Dowdell’s students said that they’re disturbed by their nighttime texting behaviour. But because sleep texting is unconscious, it’s a difficult habit to break. Dowdell said she knows of some students who wear socks on their hands to keep themselves from texting.
Marjorie Hogan, a doctor at Hennepin County Medical Centre in Minneapolis, Minnesota, suggests keeping all electronic products outside the bedroom.
( )1. What happened to Olivia Priedeman
A. She sleepwalked to a friend’s house.
B. She dreamed of making plans with a friend.
C. She phoned one of her friends during the night.
D. She read a text message from her friend while asleep.
( )2. What does the underlined word "unconscious" mean
A. 无意义的 B. 无意识的 C. 无反应的 D. 无规律的
( )3. What can we learn from the passage
A. It’s easy to give up a sleep texting habit.
B. One in three teenagers has a sleep texting habit.
C. Sleep texting can reduce the quality of one’s sleep.
D. Sleep texting does more harm to one’s health than sleep walking.

A few days ago Linda had a cold. Her mother took her temperature and found she had a fever. She asked Linda to go to hospital. On the way to People's Hospital Linda saw a little boy lying on the road. He fell down and hurt his knee. At that time a man passed by and he bandaged the boy. Linda was so moved that she made a decision to take the boy to the hospital. Thanks to the man and Linda, the boy was saved in time.

Last Friday, I agreed to meet some friends at 6:00 p.m. in a coffee shop. The weather was sunny, so I decided to walk there. I arrived ten minutes early. I ordered a cup of coffee and sat watching people. There were some boys playing football on the street, and a small boy was running after the ball as it rolled (滚) across the road.
Suddenly (突然), there came a car. It was going very fast. When the driver saw the boy in his way, he braked (刹车) hard. But it was too late ... The small boy was lying on the street without moving. To everyone’s surprise, the car didn’t stop. It drove away quickly.
People ran to the boy. There was a cut on the boy’s head and he lost a lot of blood. The coffee shop owner (主人) telephoned the police. Soon an ambulance (救护车) arrived and took the boy to the hospital.
At 6:30 p.m., the police arrived and started questioning people. About half an hour later, they asked me to go to the police station because I saw everything. I gave them all the information I knew because I really wanted them to catch the driver. I didn’t leave the police station until 8:00 p.m. After that I went home because I didn’t feel like talking to anyone.
The next day, the boy’s parents called me to say thanks. They also told me their boy was fine and the driver was in the police station now.

Dear Jill,
I’m sorry to hear that you are getting headaches these days. You said you went to the doctor, but you didn’t feel better. From what you told me, I think the reason is that you’re too tired. Here is my advice. First, you should get enough sleep every day, at least 8 hours at night. And you should do sports. Second, you should eat more fruit and vegetables. Try to eat less meat. Third, try putting your feet in hot water for an hour before going to bed.
Hope you will be better soon.
Dr. Meng
