Every day, Daisy wakes up next to a man, who has to convince her they are married. When she expresses doubt, he takes out a photo album and shows her pictures of their wedding 13 years ago.

Only then does amnesiac Daisy accept that she has been married, and that everything he has told her is true. The lady's condition was caused by brain injuries suffered in two road accidents, a motorbike crash in 1985 and a car accident in 1990. Daisy can recall everything up to 1994, but since then everything that happens on one day is forgotten the next day.

She has no day-to-day memory after the car crash. And it is not just loved ones Daisy struggles with. She uses hundreds of notes and reminders on her mobile phone's calendar to keep her informed of appointments and everyday duties. Anything she has done or anyone she has met must be logged for future reference. And on the rare occasions when she takes the risk of going out of her home alone, she has to be armed with navigation (导航) programmed with her address.

There are some benefits, however. There is no such thing as a repeat on TV and every joke is funny, because it seemed she has heard it the first time.“It’s like I am living the same day, day after day，said Daisy, who does voluntary work at a charity for people with disabilities three days a week.

Dr Peter Nestor said Daisy was suffering from anterograde(【医】 前进的, 顺行的)amnesia. He added, “It is reasonably rare, but it does exist.

When 15-year-old Louisa Ball takes a nap, she sleeps for days on end, and no amount of shaking can fully wake her up. The British girl has a rare condition called Sleeping Beauty Sickness. Doctors don’t know what causes it or how to cure it — only know that it strikes teenagers and goes away by itself after eight to 12 years.

Louisa’s mum, Lottie, told NBC News that the girl had flulike symptoms just over a year ago. Shortly afterward, she had her first period of long sleeping.

She was eventually diagnosed with Kleine-Levin Syndrome, whose victims worldwide may number no more than 1,000. The victims live normally for weeks or months at a time, with normal sleep patterns and normal energy levels. Then, with little warning, they’ll go to sleep for days or weeks at a time. So far, Louisa’s longest period in bed has been 13 days. Victims will wake briefly, but be disoriented and not fully awake. Louisa’s parents force her awake so she can use the bathroom and eat.

Now, Louisa’s friends can tell when a period is coming on. She stops talking and she may be annoyed easily. That’s when she knows she has to get home to her bed. Louisa has slept through family vacations, the dance recitals(表演会) she loves to perform in, and school tests. Now it becomes increasingly difficult to catch up on missed schoolwork.

But just as doctors don’t know the cause, they also don’t know why it ends as mysteriously as it began. The illness is unrelated to narcolepsy(嗜眠病), whose victims are constantly tired and drop off for brief periods of sleep at any time.

It’s so dramatic that some people have accused Louisa of making the false symptoms to get attention. Her father, Richard, thinks that’s absurd.

31. The underlined “disoriented ”in the 3rd paragraph probably means________.

A. embarrassed B. disappointed C. confused D. happy

A. The victims usually sleep for days or weeks at a time.

B. There are usually many warning signs before it attacks the victims.

C. The victims are usually tired and in a bad mood.

D. There are more than 1,000 victims in the world.

33. We can learn from the passage that________.

A. doctors have found the cure for Sleeping Beauty Sickness.

B. some people don’t believe in the truth of Louisa’s symptoms.

C. Kleine-Levin Syndrome has no effect on Louisa’s study and life.

D. the narcolepsy victims sleep longer than those with Kleine-Levin Syndrome.

34. What can we learn about Louisa?

A. Louisa is fond of dancing.

B. Louisa can still manage finish her schoolwork without difficulty.

C. Louisa is a British girl who likes sleeping.
