Directions for questions 1 to 5 : Read the following passage carefully and then
answer the questions that follow.
When you go to sleep at night, you probably think that you are not doing much.
Your body is in one place, your eyes are closed and you don’t talk to people. But
your body is doing more than you think it is! Scientists have used special
sophisticated machines to study the way people sleep. They have found that your
brain is actually very busy when you sleep. There are several stages of sleep in a
sleep cycle. You go through the sleep cycle multiple times each night. The activity
level of your brain is a little different in each stage. The final stage of the cycle is
called rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. During REM your eyes are moving even
though you are asleep. This is how this stage got its name. Most of your dreams
occur during REM sleep.
