It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That's what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin. Al Herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.

　 Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made.But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one．

 　The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers.

　 The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer.They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure．

B

    All her life, my mother wanted busy children. It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy. You could turn your back for a moment in my mother’s house, leave a half-written letter on the dining room table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had “put it back where it belonged,” as she explained.

    My wife, one of her first visits to my mother’s house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Confused, she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks, so as not to make water rings on the end tables. Now she knows better.

    These disappearance had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to (有……的倾向) forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find that every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. “ Do you remember what I was doing?” was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered.

Now my sister has developed a second-hand love of cleaning windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.

We have all become busy persons.

6. Which of the following is TRUE about my mother?

A. she enjoyed removing others’ drinks.

7. My wife could not find her biscuits and drink in my mother’s house because _______.

A. she had already finished them          

B. my mother had taken them away

C. she forgot where she had left them   

D. someone in my family was holding them

8. The underlined part suggests that my sister ______.

   A. is happy to clean windows         

B. loves to clean used windows

   C. is fond of cleaning used windows      

D. likes cleaning windows as my mother did

9. How many persons are mentioned in the passage?

   A. Six.     B. Seven.    C. Five.    D. Four.

10. This passage mainly tells us that ______.

  A. my mother often made us confused

 B. my family members had a poor memory

  C. my mother helped us to form a good habit

D. my wife was surprised when she visited my mother
