III. 阅读下面的短文, 判断下面的句子是否符合短文内容.符合的写（T）, 不符合的写（F）。
(A)
Sleepwalking usually happens in the first few hours of sleep. Not all sleepwalkers walk. Some just sit up or stand in bed or do things like they’re awake, but they’re asleep! Most get up and walk around for a few minutes or half an hour.
Sleepwalkers’ eyes are open, but they see things differently. Sleepwalkers usually go back to bed by themselves and they won’t remember it in the morning.
About 15% of kids sleepwalk regularly. Sleepwalking sometimes happens when a person is ill, worried, or doesn’t get much sleep.
If sleepwalking happens often, then you should see a doctor; if it doesn’t, then you don’t need to worry.
Here are some ways to help stop sleepwalking:
Listen to some light music and relax at bedtime.
Go to sleep at a regular time every night.
Keep your bedroom quiet and dark when you’re trying to sleep.
Don’t drink a lot of water in the evening and be sure to go to the bathroom before going to bed.
