5、from a number of items so that they could then exchange for food.Again,the birds then showed that they could plan for the future using this new behaviour.This is different from all of the previous studies in future planning,which have focused on naturally occurring behaviour.These studies have shown

6、 that animals can plan for the futurebut they left an important question open for debate.Are animals only able to plan to use abilities that have evolved to give them a specific advantage,or can they flexibly and intelligently apply planning behaviour across various actions?Most critics would say th

7、e former,as the animals were tested in naturally occurring behaviours.But the new research provides the first evidence that animal species can plan for the future using behaviour that doesnt typically occur in nature.This supports the view that at least some cognitive abilities in animals dont evolv

8、e just in response to specific problems.Instead,it suggests that animals can apply these behaviours flexibly across problems in a similar way to humans.We need to investigate how flexible behaviour evolved.Then we might be able to see how the crows ability to plan for the future fits in with their b

12、_1_One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories._2_We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so th

13、at connections between neurons (神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day._3_Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right._4_The synapses (突触) in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those tak

14、en before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.If Tononis theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a nights sleep, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.Their resear

15、ch also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner.The team discovered that some synapses seemed to be protected and stayed the same size._5_“You keep what matters，” Tononi says.AWe should also try to sleep well the night before.BIts as if the brain

16、is preserving its most important memories.CSimilarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.DThe processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.EThats why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.F“Sleep is the price we p

17、ay for learning，”says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.GTononis team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.一、完成句子1.are shocked2.To begin with3.be a disgrace4.whats more5.have no evidence二、阅读理解1.C 2.B3.A4.B三、阅读七选五1C根据前一句When lab rats are not allowed to sle
