If you ask some people，“How did you learn English so well？” you may get a surprising answer: “In my sleep！”
These are people who have taken part in one of the recent experiments(实验) to test the learn while you sleep method(方法)，which is now being tried in several countries，and with several subjects. English is among them.
Scientists say that this sleep study method greatly speeds language learning. They say that the ordinary person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period during the day—and this does not affect(影响) his rest in any way. However，sleep teaching will only put into your head what you have studied already while you are awake.
In one experiment，ten lessons were broadcast over the radio for two weeks. Each lesson lasted twelve hours—from 8 pm to 8 am The first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary(词汇) were given with the students awake. At 11 pm a lullaby(催眠曲) was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next three hours the radio in a soft and low voice broadcast the lesson again into his sleeping ears. At 2 am a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to go over the lesson. The soft music sent him back to rest again while the radio went on. At 5 o'clock his sleep ended and he had to go through the lesson again for three hours before breakfast.
根据文章内容，选择正确答案：
1. By the learn while you sleep method，one ________.
A. starts to learn a new lesson in sleep
B. learns how to sleep better
C. is made to remember his lesson in sleep
D. can listen to the radio broadcast while lying in bed
2. In the experiment，lessons were given ________.
A. in the night time B. after lullabies were broadcast
C. while the student was awake D. all through the twelve hours
3. Before each lesson finishes，the student has to ________.
A. get up and take breakfast B. be woken up by a loud voice
C. listen to the lesson again in sleep D. review(复习) the lesson by himself
4. The sleep study method is being tried in many countries to teach ________.
A. the English language B. grammar and vocabulary
C. a number of subjects D. foreign languages

五、阅读理解（15分）
What is language for Some people seem to think it's for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists, the better. That's wrong. Language is for the exchange（交流）of ideas and information. It's meaningless knowing all about a language if you can't use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can't speak correctly or fluently（流利地）. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard saw once wrote, "Foreigners often speak English too correctly." But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They're English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history, they make language. But a people can only make its own language. It can't make another people's language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldn't overdo（做过头）it. They should put communication（交际）first.
1. Language is used to ________.
A. express oneself B. practice grammar rules
B. talk with foreigners only D. learn lists of words
2. Generally, when an American or an Englishman speaks English, he ________.
A. never makes mistakes B. often makes mistakes
C. can't avoid making mistakes D. always makes mistakes
3. "Foreigners often speak English too correctly." This sentence means that ________.
A. foreigners speak correct English
B. foreigners speak incorrect English
C. foreigners speak English according to the grammar rules
D. foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English
4. If too many native speakers break a rule, ________.
A. what they use will become right B. they are against the law
C. they should say sorry to others D. they will become heroes
5. When we speak a foreign language, we should ________.
A. speak in Chinese way B. speak by the rules
C. speak to native speakers D. not be afraid of making mistakes
