There are only 24 hours in a day，and usually about a third of that is spent sleeping.So is it possible to make use of this time and learn a new skill or even a language？In other words，is sleep learning possible？
Many studies have found that a basic form of learning called conditioning can happen during sleep.In a 2012 study published in the magazine Nature Neuroscience，for example，Israeli researchers found that people can learn to connect sounds with smells during sleep.The scientists played a tone to sleeping study participants while putting some rotten（腐烂的）fish beside their beds.Once awake when hearing the tone.The people held their breath in anticipation of a bad smell.
"This was a dear finding showing participants formed new memories during sleep， " said Andrillon，a scientist in this held.
Although the now memory was implicit （暗示性的），it could influence how people behave，researchers found in a 2014 study published in the Journal of Neuroscience.In that research，after spending a night in a room full of cigarette（香烟） smell mixed with rotten eggs or fish，smokers use fewer cigarettes.
Andrillon and his team members have found that learning in sleep can also go beyond simple conditioning.In their 2017 study published in Nature Communications，participants were able to pick out sound features that they had heard during sleep.
Learning abilities in sleep may spread to learning of words.In a study published in Current Biology，researchers played pairs of made﹣up words and their supposed meanings like "guga" means elephant，to sleep participants.After this，when awake，the participants did better in picking the right translation of made﹣up words in a multi﹣choice test.
So far，research suggests it may be possible to learn about the tone and pronunciation of a language or even the meaning of words while sleeping，although it is to a weaker level than what we do during the day without noticing.
（1）What is the main purpose of the text？
A.To show that sleep learning is possible.
B.To study how to make use of sleep learning.
C.To report some famous research findings.
D.To prove sleep learning is implicit and weak.
（2）What does the phrase ''new memories'' in the third paragraph refer to（指的是）？
A.Connection between participants and scientists.
B.Connection between sounds and smells.
C.The tone's influence on the rotten fish.
D.The rotten eggs' influence on cigarettes.
（3）What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs？
A.Sleep can do good to learning.
B.Language learning can happen in sleep.
C.People learn in sleep in a different language.
D.Sleep learning is better than daytime learning.
Durbeyfield sat down upon the grassy land by the roadside，putting his basket before him.In a few minutes，a youth from his village appeared in the distance.On seeing him，Durbeyfield held up his hand，and the boy quickened his steps and came near.
"Boy，take up that basket!I want you to do something for me. "
The skinny boy frowned（皱眉）， "Who are you then，John Durbeyfield，to order me about and call me 'boy'？You know my name as well as I know yours!"
"Do you，do you？That's the secret — That's the secret!Now obey my orders，and Fred，I don't mind telling you that the secret is that I'm one of noble race（贵族） —it has been just found out by me this present afternoon." And as he made the announcement，he luxuriously（奢侈地） lay himself upon the land among the flowers.The boy stood before Durbeyfield，and looked at him from head to foot.
"Sir，John D' Urberville — that's who I am， " continued Durbeyfield. " Do you know such a place as Greenhill？ "

"Well，under the church of that city there lie my ancestors（祖先） —hundreds of them — in coats of jewellery.There is not a man here who's got greater and nobler ancestors than I. "
"Oh？ "
"Now take up that basket，and go on to the Pure Drop Inn，telling them to send a horse and carriage（马车） with a servant（仆人） here quickly，to carry me home.And when you've done that，go on to my house with the basket，and tell my wife to put away that washing，because she needn't finish it，and wait till I come home，as I've news to tell her. "
As the boy stood in doubt，Durbeyfield put his hand into his pocket.And produced a shilling （a unit of money used in Britain until 1971）.
