    "We still don’t know the【C2】______mechanism of the memory process that occurs during sleep, but the【C3】______of this research suggest it is possible to【C4】______up memory consolidation," Karni said.
    Long-term memory【C5】______to  memories that stay with us for years, such as "what" memories -- a car accident that happened yesterday -- or " how to " memories, such as one’s learned【C6】______to play the drums.

选项 A、snack
B、nap
C、sleep
D、exercise
答案 B
解析 名词辨义题。全文第一句说明：naps(小睡，打盹)help lock in sometimes fleeting long-term memories。该句是对首句的补充说明，即白天小睡90分钟对巩固记忆最有效。故应选择nap。snack意为“小吃，点心”；sleep虽也表示睡觉的意思，但是含义过广，不能体现出该文强调的“白天小睡”；exercise“运动”，与原义无关。
