Do you remember the game “Telephone”? A message gets passed from person to person, and everyone laughs at how distorted(曲解) it becomes. As a game, telephone can be fun. In real life, sending messages through third parties fouls things up. It is important for family members who have “business” with other family members to take it up directly.

       When tension arises in a relationship between two people, a frequent way of dealing with this is to send messages through a third person. Family doctors refer to the process as ‘triangulation”. Following a quarrel, a mother may say to her son, “Tell your father to pass the salt”, which may be answered by, “Tell your mother to get her own salt.” In many long cases of triangulation, the middleman becomes severely disturbed.

       Two years ago, Ruth and Ralph Gordon brought their 17-year-old daughter for treatment. Lucille was not doing well in school, using drugs heavily. When I began to work with her, she was uncommunicative and aggressive. After some time, however, she opened up and told me her parents rarely talked to each other, but both used her as a middleman. Mrs. Gordon was sexually unsatisfied and suggested to Lucille that she ask her father to go for marriage advice. Mr. Gordon told Lucille that he was seeing another woman, and he urged Lucille to speak to her mother about improving her behaviour. Caught in this confusing situation, Lucille became more and more troubled. It wasn’t until she refused to play middleman that she began to improve. When either parent began to send a message through her, she learned to say, “Tell him/her yourself!”

You’ll find that when family members learn to dial each other directly, there’s rarely a busy signal or wrong number. With direct dialing, a sense of freshness is created.

The underlined words “foul things up” in the 1st paragraph means ________.

A. create things  B. improve things  C. remove things  D. ruin things

“Triangulation” in the 2nd paragraph refers to _________.

A. the process of sending messages through a 3rd person

B. the middleman who becomes severely disturbed

C. the tension in a relationship between 2 people

D. the argument between a mother and a father

Through the example of Lucille and her parents, the writer hopes to tell the readers that _______.

A. family members should learn to get their messages across directly

B. parents should send their children taking drugs for treatment

C. children can hardly get used to their parents’ troubles

D. children should refuse the requests of their parents

　　Going to sleep may seem pretty boring compared with all the fun things there are to do while you're awake．But there's a lot going on in your mind and body while you're tucked under those covers．

　　Sleep, in fact, is as important to your survival as eating and drinking．Sleep improves your mood, makes you a better athlete, and helps you remember and understand what you learned during the day．During sleep your temperature drops．Your heart rate slows．Down goes the pressure of the blood moving through your veins．A chemical that controls growth(called a hormone)surges into your bloodstream．Scientists think sleep restores energy and improves your immune(免疫)system．We know what happens while we're asleep because scientists study volunteers who sleep in laboratories．The sleepers are hooked up to machines that measure brain waves, eye movements and muscle activities．

　　Sleep is like a school day：it's divided into different periods, or stages．When you're awake, your brain waves fire rapidly．As you begin to relax and drift into the first stage of sleep, your brain produces slower-moving waves and you lose awareness of your surroundings．As you slide to deeper sleep, your body repairs itself from the normal wear and tear of daily life．Then, as you begin to drift back up to a lighter sleep, your mind becomes more alert(機(jī)警), and your dreams begin．You're in REM sleep．

　　REM was names far the“rapid eye movement' that happens while you're dreaming．During REM sleep, your eyes move back and forth behind your timed lids, as though you were washing a movie．During other stages, you might move at that in bed, but during REM sleep you're still．That's probably because if you could move, your body would act out your dreams．As you get closer to morning, you spend more time in REM than in deep sleep, so you dream more．Researchers know that during REM sleep the part of the brain that handles learning and thinking is very active．

　　Getting too little sleep can affect your personality．Experts recommend that children get at least nine hours d sleep a night．So sleep fight．
