六、任务型阅读。
阅读短文，回答下列问题。
Everybody knows that cats like to sleep. They spend more than half of their lives sleeping and enjoy every minute of it. Other animals have different sleeping habits, however. Horses may not look like they are asleep. But they are! Horses spend about six hours sleeping every day and they do it standing up!
Fish also sleep every day but they have a strange habit. They don’t close their eyes when they are sleeping. When ducks sleep they keep one eye open and half of the brain awake. It helps them stay alert(警觉的) and watch out for dangerous animals.
So what about humans? Well, most people sleep for about a third of their lives. The number of hours you sleep, however, has to do with your age. Most newborn(新生的) babies sleep a lot. They spend about 75% of their time sleeping every day! As you get older, you need less sleep. Children need about eleven hours of sleep and adults sleep about eight hours every night. So, you spend many hours a year doing nothing—just sleeping in bed!
But you’re not just asleep—you’re not really doing nothing. Your body and your mind relax during this time, and a lot of things happen during sleep. Dreams are one way that the mind relaxes after a busy day. A person spends about 20% of every night dreaming. That means you have about four or five dreams every night and about 1,600 dreams a year.
注：每题答案不超过 5 个词。
1. How do horses sleep?
2. How long do most newborn babies sleep one day?
3. How many hours do adults sleep less than children?
4. How do fish sleep?
5. According to the writer, what’s the way that the mind relaxes after a busy day?

阅读短文，回答下列问题。
每个人都知道猫喜欢睡觉。它们一生中有一半以上的时间都在睡觉，并且享受每一分钟的睡眠时光。然而，其他动物有着不同的睡眠习惯。马看起来可能不像在睡觉，但实际上它们是在睡！马每天大约睡六个小时，而且是站着睡的！
鱼每天也会睡觉，但它们有一个奇怪的习惯。它们睡觉的时候不会闭上眼睛。鸭子睡觉的时候会睁着一只眼睛，并且大脑的一半保持清醒。这有助于它们保持警觉，留意危险的动物。
那么人类呢？嗯，大多数人一生中有大约三分之一的时间在睡觉。不过，你的睡眠时间和你的年龄有关。大多数新生婴儿睡得很多。它们每天大约有75%的时间都在睡觉！随着你年龄的增长，你需要的睡眠会变少。儿童每晚大约需要睡11个小时，成年人每晚大约睡8个小时。所以，你每年会花很多时间什么都不做——只是躺在床上睡觉！
但你不只是在睡觉——你并不是真的什么都没做。在这段时间里，你的身体和大脑会放松，并且睡眠期间会发生很多事情。做梦是大脑在忙碌的一天之后放松的一种方式。一个人每晚大约有20%的时间在做梦。这意味着你每晚大约会做四到五个梦，一年大约会做1600个梦。
1. 马是怎么睡觉的？
它们站着睡觉。
2. 大多数新生婴儿一天睡多久？
大约18个小时。
3. 成年人比儿童少睡几个小时？
三个小时。
4. 鱼是怎么睡觉的？
它们睁着眼睛睡觉。
5. 根据作者的说法，大脑在忙碌的一天之后放松的方式是什么？
通过做梦。
