(D)
Full moon nights always seem a little scary. Is there any reason for this? A new study has found that full moons really can cause restless nights.
To test the moon’s effects on humans, a research team in Switzerland studied the sleep of 33 volunteers. In their sleep lab, there were no windows or any other way of telling whether the moon was full outside. The researchers watched volunteers’ brain activity, eye movements and hormone (荷尔蒙) levels. Test
results showed that volunteers’ brain activity during deep sleep dropped by 30 percent on nights closer to a full moon. On these nights, volunteers also took about five minutes longer to fall asleep and slept for 20 minutes less. Their levels of melatonin, the hormone that helps control our sleep cycles (周期), also dropped.
According to Professor Christian Cajochen of Basel University in Switzerland, the effect may be a relic (遗留) of old times when humans had to run from predators (食肉动物). “On full moon nights there was more light and so in our past the risk of predators was higher, so maybe we needed to wake up more easily,” explained Cajochen. “However, it is hard to see a use for it in our modern lives.”
In fact, our sleep is not the only thing that changes with the lunar (月亮的) cycle. Many animals respond (对……有反应) to the cycle too. For example, mosquitoes usually give birth around the full moon. As a result, they bite more on full moon days so that their eggs have enough blood to develop.
37. According to the article, during the test, on nights closer to a full moon, ______.
A. the volunteers could watch the changes of the moon
B. the volunteers’ levels of melatonin dropped by 30 percent
C. the volunteers’ brains were more active during deep sleep than usual
D. the volunteers found it harder to get to sleep and had shorter nights’ sleep than usual 38. From the article, we can know that the full moon’s effects on human sleep ______. A. are because of the moon’s brightness B. may be different in different areas C. may come from some special animals
D. may have something to do with the situation of early humans 39 . According to the last paragraph, ______. A. the full moon is helpful to some animals B. the full moon affects many things
C. there are still many mysteries about the full moon
D. scientists are planning further research on the effects of the full moon 40. What does the article mainly discuss?
A. How full moons affect sleep and why.
B. Why full moon nights are thought to be scary.
C. How full moons affect animals. D. Stories and research about full moons.

What can we do when we meet with a terror attack? There are three things to do to help us survive. First, run as quickly as we can if possible and call the police when we are safe. If it is impossible to run away, try to find a good place to hide. Remember to turn off your mobile phone and keep quiet. Finally, when we can’t run or hide ourselves, we have to fight hard for life.
However, no one knows when and where this kind of thing will happen. Then what should we do to stop this from happening to us? First, pay attention to the people around when we go to crowded places like big shopping malls or railway stations. And whatever happens, we should keep calm and take the right action as soon as possible.
