Lead researcher Bob Stickgold at the Harvard Medical School said, "Sleep helps us draw rules from our experiences. It's like knowing the difference between dogs and cats. even if it's hard to explain. "
The US research team studied how well students remembered connections between words and symbols (象征) , reports New Scientist. They compared how the students performed if they had had a sleep between seeing the words and having the test, and if they had not slept. They found that people were better able to remember lists of related words after a night' s sleep than after the same time spent awake during the day. They also found it easier to remember themes (主题) that the words had in common. But they forgot around one in four more themes if they had been awake. Prof. John Groeger, of Surrey University's Sleep Research Centre, said, "People have been trying for years to fard out what the purpose of sleep is, as we know that only certain parts of it have a restorative (有助恢复的) value. "
" We form. and store huge numbers of experiences in the head every day, and sleep seems to be the way the brain deals with it all. "

We found that bar at last. I didn ' t have to ask again, for there it was in big red neon letters over the window-Star Bar. There were some iron tables outside with plastic chairs around them. A few people sat around, looking at a portable television set that someone had brought out of the bar.
They were all in thin summer dresses or short shirts; even at that late hour it was stifling. Two thin dogs lay under one of the tables with their tongues out, and some of the women were fanning them-selves unenthusiastically (无精打采地 ) with magazines.
" He ' s not here , " I said , after a quick look around. The television was speaking out an adver- tisement for a detergent(洗衣粉) , and the people sitting round had their eyes glued to the picture of a woman proudly showing how white her husband' s underwear was after having been washed.They took no notice of us at all. .
" Well, what did you expect?" replied Fergus, yawning(打呵欠 ) . " It ' s only half past nine,
and he said he would be here at nine. You ought to know Graig by this time. He' ll turn up some-
time after ten. "

[A] had never been to that bar before
[ B ] did not know if they had come to the right place
[ C] asked somebody the name of the bar
