    Reading
    8 Read the text divided into three parts. Match questions 1–5 with paragraphs A–C.

    Sleepwalking
    A Recent research has uncovered some remarkable facts about sleepwalking. It has been
    established, for example, that most sleepwalkers rise from their beds during the first third of a
    night’s sleep, during a stage of their sleeping cycle called non-REM sleep. During this stage,
    they are in deep sleep, and their brains are very inactive. The fact that the brain is not really
    thinking about anything explains why sleepwalkers walk around with blank expressions and, if
    woken, can’t remember what they were doing. It also proves that the long-held belief that
    sleepwalkers act out dreams is simply not true. Sleepwalkers can’t be dreaming if their brains
    aren’t switched on. Remarkably, though, to my mind at least, the body, unlike the brain, is still
    active during non-REM sleep. Most people toss and turn in bed early in their sleep cycle, and
    pull at the bedsheets. Sleepwalkers simply take this behaviour to another level.
    B While people of all ages may walk in their sleep, the phenomenon is most common in
    young children. It is believed that this is because their brains are still developing, and,
    therefore, more likely to get confused. Sleepwalking has been described as a state of the
    brain in which the boundary between being awake and asleep is uncertain. Something in the
    sleeper’s brain tells the body to move when it should be telling it to rest. It makes sense,
    therefore, that sleepwalking children behave in the way they do. Not only is a child’s brain
    immature, but it is also developing very fast. It is no surprise that it should make mistakes. It is
    no surprise either that most kids soon grow out of sleepwalking. It is harder to explain why the
    phenomenon seems to run in families, though, and why it is much more likely that a boy,
    rather than a girl, should be a sleepwalker.
    C It has been shown that children are more likely to go sleepwalking when over-tired or
    stressed, so a simple remedy is often to make sure they get a good night’s sleep. Cutting out
    certain medicines or food types may also have a positive effect on a person’s tendency to
    sleep walk. Sleepwalking may be a symptom of something more serious in adults, however.
    Indeed, it could be a symptom of Parkinson’s disease. It is also fair to say that walking around
    in your sleep, unaware of what you are doing or where you are going is, naturally, dangerous
    in itself. Many have had accidents, and some have committed crimes. In 2005, a British man
    was found not guilty of murdering his father after he explained to the court that he had killed
    him while walking round the house fast asleep.

    In which paragraph does the author …


    1 explain why people of a particular age group tend to sleepwalk more than others? ___
    2 mention the way people look when sleepwalking? ___
    3 suggest ways of preventing sleepwalkers from behaving in the way they do? ___
