We all know that lack of sleep affects our memory, along with other cognitive abilities. Sittingin the office, sleep deprived, it’s difficult to remember your own name, let along theever-lengthening to-do list.
  But now new research shows that not getting enough sleep increases the chances your mind will actually create false memories. The study, published in Psychological Science, allowed one group of participants to get a full night’s sleep, while another had to stay up all night. In the morning they were given a series of photos that were supposed to show a crime being committed. Next, both groups were given some eyewitness statements about the crime. Like many witness statements in real-life crimes, the details were different to those shown in the photographs. For example, in
one instance the photo showed a thief putting a wallet in his jacket, but in the witness statement it said he put it in his pants (that’s ‘trousers’ for British people, not his underwear!). Afterwards, they were asked what they had seen in the original photographs. The results showed that those who’d missed out on their sleep were the most likely to regurgitate the false eyewitness statements they’d just read, rather than remembering the ‘true’ crime-scene photos they’d been
shown moments beforehand.
The lack of sleep had messed with their heads to the extent that all the evidence — right and wrong — had got mixed up.
One of the study’s authors, Kimberly Fenn, said:” People who repeatedly get low amounts of sleep every night could be more prone in the long run to develop these forms of memory distortion. It’s not just a full night of sleep deprivation that puts them at risk.” Indeed, a preliminary study they carried out found that getting just five hours sleep was enough to cause people to start manufacturing false memories.

Which of the following statements is true according the article?

选项 A. A full night of sleep deprivation outs people on the risk of false memory
B. Deprivation of sleep fails to have impact on the ability to memorize list
C. Short-term lack of sleep is more likely to result in memory distortion
D. Your own name will not escape you no matter how long you sleep

答案A

解析A 是说失眠可能导致人们记忆出差,这跟整篇文章所说内容是一致的。就是缺觉对人记忆力的影响。B 选项说的是缺觉对人没有影响,刚好跟文章的论点相反。C 项讲短期缺觉更容易对人产生影响,文章中没有提到短期或者长期缺觉的区别。D 项讲无论睡多久人都不会忘记自己的名字,与文章第一段第二句话内容相反。
