Yet no one knows exactly why or how people sleep.Until the early 1950s, most scientists thought the body and brain rested during sleep. Then a scientist watched people sleep. He noticed that during periods of between 5 and 30 minutes each, sleepers eyes made rapid movements, as if they were watching something. He called these periods REM sleep, for Rapid Eye Movement. Periods when sleepers eyes did not move he called non-REM sleep.Whenever the scientist woke people during REM sleep, they were having vivid dreams. Measurements showed that sleepers pulses（脉搏）went up quickly during REM sleep. Their breathing, heartbeat, and the blood going to the brain also increased. Far from being a time of rest, REM sleep is a time when the body is hard at work. Scientists still dont know the reason for this. Some believe REM sleep makes learning easier. Babies spend a lot of time in REM sleep. Because of this, some scientists believe that REM sleep helps the brain grow. Others think REM sleep is a time for the brain to empty the days garbage.One thing all the scientists agree on is that sleep is necessary. Without enough sleep, people make mistakes. Most major car accidents happen during the early morning hours, when people are sleepiest.（1）During REM sleep, a persons breathing and heartbeat _.A . stopB . increaseC . decreaseD . stay the same（2）Which word in paragraph（段落）3 means “colorful and lively”?A . easier.B . empty.C . vivid.D . quickly.（3）Which paragraph tells what happens when people dont get enough sleep?A . 1.B . 2.C . 3.D . 4.（4）What is the main idea of the article?A .
