问题     Sleep is part of a person’ s daily activity cycle. There are several different stages of sleep, and they too occur in cycles. If you are an average sleeper, your sleep cycle is as follows. When you first drift off into slumber (安睡) , your eyes will roll about a bit, your temperature will drop slightly, your muscles will relax, and your breathing were slow and become quite regular. Your brain waves slow down a bit too, with the alpha rhythm of rather fast waves predominating for the first few minutes. This is called stage 1 sleep. For the next half hour or so, as you relax more and more, you will drift down through stage 2 and stage 3 sleep. The lower your stage of sleep, the slower your brain waves will be. Then about 40 to 60 minutes ’after you lose consciousness you will have reached the deepest sleep of all. Your brain waves will show the large slow waves that are known as the delta rhythm. This is stage 4 sleep.
    You do not remain at this deep fourth stage all night long, hut instead about 80 minutes after you fall into slumber, your brain activity level will increase again slightly. The delta rhythm will disappear, to be replaced by the activity pattern of brain waves. Your eyes will begin to dart around under your closed eyelids (眼皮) as if you were looking at something occurring in front of you. This period of rapid eye movement  lasts for some 8 to 15 minutes and is called REM sleep. It is during REM sleep period, your body will soon relax again, your breathing will grow slow and regular once more, and you will slip gently back from stage 1 to stage 4 sleep -- only to rise once again to the surface of near consciousness some 80 minutes  later.
In the second paragraph the word "dart" means ______.
选项 A、glare
B、move rapidly or suddenly
C、stop moving
D、gaze
答案B
解析 dart的后文说“眼睛好像看着发牛在眼前的事”，又说“这种快速移动眼睛的阶段叫REM sleep”，据此可知dart意为move quickly or suddenly (飞快地移动)。glare 怒目而视；gaze凝视。
