Why is sleep so important? During the day, you spend a lot of time running,

jumping, laughing, eating, and talking. You use up a lot of energy, and by the end of the day you’re tired. Sleep gives your body a chance to rest. But your mind and body are not completely at rest during sleep. They’re actually working hard to “recharge your batteries” so that you will wake up feeling good and ready to go.

While you sleep, your brain sorts out all the things that happened during the day. It stores away the important events as memories. It also goes over things you were wondering or worrying about, and you may wake up with answers to some of your problems.

You also grow while you sleep. A chemical called “human growth hormone” is released in the body during sleep to help the growth of cells and tissues. This growth hormone also helps the body to repair itself—to heal cuts, bruises, and sore muscles. Sleep helps your body to conserve energy, too. You use up a lot of energy during your daily activities. But when you sleep, your body temperature falls, and your

“metabolism” (the chemical reactions that use up energy in the body) slows down. You are still using some energy, but much less than when you are awake and active. Have you ever stayed up past your bedtime? Did you get cranky? Did you have trouble getting up the next morning? Maybe you had problems seeing clearly or your mind was in a fog. That was your body’s way of saying, “I need sleep!” Getting the right amount of sleep is very important. A lack of sleep can keep your body and mind from working properly.

57.What is this article mainly about? (A) How the brain sleeps. (B) How much sleep you need. (C) How sleep affects your body. (D) How many ways to go to sleep.

58. What does “human growth hormone” do while people sleep? (A) It helps repair the body.

(B) It helps store memories.

(C) It helps answer problems.

(D) It helps slow the body down.

59. What does the word “conserve” most likely mean? (A) Grasp. (B) Move. (C) Save. (D) Trade.

60. Why did the author most likely write this passage? (A) To entertain readers with a story about sleep. (B) To convince readers to enjoy sleeping.

(C) To share ideas about how to go to sleep. (D) To explain the importance of sleeping.
