(40 points)Text 1Your alarm goes off on your phone, and instead of turning it off and going on sleeping, you pick it up and stupidly say, “Hello?”You are, to use the technical term, suffering sleep drunkenness(迷糊), those first few confused minutes people sometimes experience after waking, according to a just-published paper in Neurology( 神经学). For the first time, the phenomenon has been studied in a general adult population.In telephone interviews the researchers conducted with more than 19,000 healthy individuals, about 25 percent reported experiencing some sort of sleep-drunk episode(插曲) in the last year, and 12 percent said this happens to them at least once a week.Most of their stories were actually pretty funny, said Stanford University School of Medicine psychiatrist(精神病学家) Maurice Ohayon. One man picked up his alarm clock and mistook it for his phone, holding a two-minute conversation on it. Another participant woke in the middle of the night and couldnt find the bathroom in her own home. Other common examples are that foggy feeling you get when you first wake up with a start on a Saturday before realizing its the weekend, or when you wake up in a hotel room and cant immediately figure out where you are.Ohayon explains that an abrupt awakening, to our poor, half-asleep brains, signals an emergency a time for action, not reason.“For most people, and especially if this only happens to you every once in a while, its nothing to worry about. But for people who experience sleep drunkenness once a week or more, you might as well refer to professional help to have a sound sleep.”1、The intended readers of the passage are probably _.Aadults who dont sleep wellBteenagers who dont have enough sleepCpeople who suffer sleep drunkennessDresearchers who are fond of sleep disorder2、We can know from the first 3 paragraphs that _.Aits stupid to leave the alarm on when sleepBafter waking all pe
