16．（5分）It is often said that the best way to get to the bottom of a hard problem is to sleep on it．Does this make sense？A new study shows that it does．
A team of researchers at Northwestern University，US，found that sleeping is useful in
both strengthening（增强）and reorganizing（重组）memory．（1）
The researchers did an experiment on 57 university students．They asked students to solve 42 difficult puzzles （谜题）on the first day．（2）The researchers encouraged students to remember the music they heard while solving the puzzles．By the end，there were six puzzles that the students still hadn't solved．
（3）They were given special sleep﹣monitoring（睡眠监测）and music devices （设备）．The devices played music linked with the unsolved puzzles while the students were in the slow﹣wave（慢波sleep stage （阶段）．This stage is when people are likely to dream
and reorganize their memories．
The next morning，the students tried the unsolved puzzles again．（4）The music activated（激活）the memories they had of the puzzles while they were sleeping．It allowed them to " work" on the puzzles in their sleep．
Former studies of both people and animals have shown that sleep can not only strengthen memory，but also help us organize and send information．（5）So the next time you face a difficult problem，sleep on it．Play some music to remind yourself of the problem．
A．Researchers found they were 55 percent more likely to solve them
B．This can help you solve problems
C．This study is more evidence（证据）of these findings
D．The students then went back home to sleep
E．Students worked on each puzzle while listening to different music

【能力选练】 A （2019 中考选练）
Are you a good receiver? It might sound like a funny question but it is an important one that each of us should ask ourselves.
Strangely, most of us are better givers than receivers. We give to our family, our friends and even charities, and opposite to what we might think, most of us are actually very good at giving. But receiving is another matter. We often feel a little uneasy when receiving, although it is not very noticeable. Even praise gets deflected（转向）when it comes our way. When someone praises us for helping him move or clean up the house, we will possibly say, “Ah, it was nothing.” When someone praises the coat we are wearing, we may mention how we bought it at a discount instead of simply enjoying the praise. Actually, the praise is a gift to us, and when we don’t receive it properly, we are dishonoring the giver.
Giving is easy, as there is much pleasure in giving, but receiving is an art that takes practice. To be a good receiver requires a sense of close relationship with the giver. It is always a pleasure for a giver to see the gift received in a pleasant way. And this is also the best way for a receiver to honor the giver and give him something back.
Many relationships are not so good not because people are not giving to each other, but because they are not receiving from each other well. We should receive the love, respect the praise, and give thanks every time giving happens. We should practice receiving all the pleasures that happen to us every day, instead of taking them for granted. Think of how many simple everyday gifts we are being given all the time: the beauty of nature, art and inspiring（激励人的）conversations. But are we truly receiving them when they happen to us, or are we busy with other matters, not noticing? We should master the art of receiving: accept the gifts life offers us and show our appreciation for them.
We are taught that it is better to give than to receive. But this suggests that there is something wrong with receiving. There is nothing wrong with receiving. It is better to give and receive. Let life shower us with gifts, pleasures, joys, surprises, both large and small, and let us take notice of all these things and accept them happily and thankfully. The more we can receive, the more we can give back, but giving more does not necessarily mean receiving more. We must remember it is harder to receive than to give, and try to practice receiving. This practice will benefit us greatly, making us become good receivers as well as good givers. 1. According to Paragraph 2, what do we possibly do when we are praised?
A. Honor the giver publicly. B. Show our pleasure clearly.
