She was the music teacher at my elementary school, the 5 at our church, and a family friend. I was crazy about her and wanted to 6 her more than anything.

(40 points)Text 1To help make up for sleep lost during marathon night flights, migrating( 迁徙 ) birds take hundreds of power nap(小睡) during the day, each lasting a few seconds.Every autumn, Swainsons thrushes(画眉) fly up to 3,000 miles from their breeding grounds in northern Canada and Alaska to winter in Central and South America. Come spring, the birds make the long trip back.The birds fly mostly at night and often for long hours at a time, leaving little time for sleep. So to get through these tiresome periods, thrushes, during autumn and spring when the birds are normally migrating, change their sleep patterns, staying awake at night and resting during day. But instead of sleeping for a long period at a time, the birds took several naps a day, each one lasting only 9 seconds on average.The thrushes also mixed up their shut-eye sessions with two other forms of sleep. In one, called unilateral eye closure, or UEC, the birds rested one eye and one half of their brains while their other eye and half brain remained open and active, protecting them from danger.The birds also occasionally slipped into another state, one that any college student who has ever been stuck in a boring lecture can relate to. Called drownsiness( 睡 意 ), this state is characterized by a partial shutting of both eyes that still allows for some visual processing.“In terms of quality, drowsiness may be less useful than normal sleep, but it may also be safer.” said Fuchs.Whats interesting is that even animals should make up for sleep loss. That a need for sleep cannot be lost even in these birds means the importance of sleep for many, if not all, animals, not to mention human.1、What would be the best title for the text?AMigrating Birds Travel for Long HoursBMigrating Need HelpCHow Birds Migrate during AutumnDMigrating Birds Take Many Daily Power Naps2、According to the text, when having drowsiness, the thrushes_.Awill rest one eye and the other activeBwill often sleep during dayCwill still be careful with the possible dangersDwill not see anything in front of them3、What can we learn from the text?ASleep is im
