"Many of the people we help are actually really nice and just a little kindness matters in their lives," Liam said.

Today, we talk about expressions that began behind the wheels of automobiles. Now they are common expressions that we use in everyday conversations.Well, let's not delay any longer. Let’s get ' thi s show on the road!“To get the show on the road" means to begin something as soon as possible. It's a casual expression that we use when we want to start something, anything an activity or project or an actual road trip.Well, not any activity. You would not likely use this expression to begin something sad, such as a funeral. It is a lighthearted expression.So, the person who says "hey, let's get this show on the road in is taking charge. They want to start things. They want to get things going. You could say they are in the driver's seat. Just as the driver is in control of their vehicle, the person in the driver's seat of an activity, event or project is also in control, Feel free to use this phrase in any situation, formal of informal.Speaking free, most rides are not. They cost money. When you take a taxi you must pay for it. If you drive a car, you must pay for gas, repairs and insurance. It is great when you get a free ride to where you are going.However, in life, to get a free ride means to gain from something without having to do anything in exchange. It can be annoying to have a friend or co-worker who is always trying to get a free ride. They do not give. They just take, take, take!Now, when we are actually driving, the phrage go down that road simply means to drive down a road, We would say this when we give directions. “Go down that road for about a mile and you’ll see your destination on the right." But in conversations, it has an interesting meaning. To go down that road means to make a decision. But it is more than that.

Our brains need good sleep to remember what we do and learn during the other two thirds of our lives when we are awake.Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have found that sleep helps improve brain performance by shrinking（收缩）synapses in the brain. A synapse is the area where cells pass messages to other cells.Scientist Chiara Cirelli is a leader at the school 's Center for Sleep and Consciousness. She told the reporter that sleep is when the human brain mixes information it has learned while awake into its general collection of knowledge. Meanwhile, the brain forgets unimportant details. This forgetting is important. It makes space for new learning and new memories.Cirelli said that the Centers research began with this hypothesis（假设）: We sleep so that our brain can repair and refresh itself, She said the idea seems simple and reasonable. However, testing and discovering how it works has been extremely difficult.Synapses are only about 20-40 nanometers wide. The team began their study by measuring（测量）the size of the synapses to look for changes in these already tiny spaces between nerve cells. Cirelli says the process（过程）is difficult because "all the actual measurements of the synapses have to be done by hand.” The team had to wait until improvements in laboratory technology made it possible to see these tiny changes. A University of Wisconsin press release called the research a "huge job.” Many research specialists worked for four years to photograph, rebuild and study certain areas of a mouse brain. The report also said the scientists measured 6,920 synapses.Cirelli says they found that our synapses shrink as our brains clean themselves during sleep. We wake up refreshed and ready to fill those synapses with new information. The research findings are the result of years of hard work at the University of Wisconsin Madison. The researchers published their findings in the journal Science.32. How does the brain help improve our memory while we are sleep?A. By not forgetting any learnt knowledge.B. By keeping learning new information.C. By repeating information learnt before.D. By adding new knowledge to its old collection.33. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?A. The size for the synapses.B. The preparations for the measuring work.C. The difficulties in the measuring work.D. The result of the measuring work.34. What can we infer about the research work?A. The synapses were found bigger after a good night’s sleep.B. The researchers carried out their work with a human brain.C. The team began their research as soon as they decided to.D. The findings proved their hypothesis was right.35. What is the result of the research?A. Sleep helps us keep healthy.B. Sleep helps us learn better.C. Sleep helps the brain shrink.D. Sleep takes one-third of our lifetime第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
