Dolphins sleep this , scientists at Indiana State University have discovered that ducks sleep this way found that ducks sleep half awake so they can rest and watch for danger at the same time. After putting their ducks in a row and videotaping them, some researchers found ducks on the end of each row spent more time asleep with one eye open, apparently looking for predators. “ The more the ducks felt threatened, the more they slept with one eye open， ” said lead author Niels C． Rattenb, a graduate student at Indiana State University, Terre Haute. “ The unique aspect is not that they do it， but that they control it. When they sleep at the edge of a group， they tend to realize greater danger, so they spend more time sleeping with one half of their brain.” Ducks with one eye open were still awake enough to detect predators, said the authors of the study, which appears today in the journal Nature. The researchers studied four groups of four ducks held in plastic boxes， which were arranged in a row. Ducks on the end were found to sleep with one eye open percent of the time, pared to percent of the time for ducks in the central position. Also, ducks in the central position did not open one eye more than the others, while ducks on each end kept the eye facing away from the group open percent of the time. Brain wave readings of the ducks showed that the half of the brain receiving signals from the closed eye indicated that half of the brain was sleeping. Signals from the half of the brain receiving signals from the open eye showed a state between fully awake and asleep. 36． It was discovered that ________.

It is generally used to describe how a cool outlook often disguises (偽裝 ) a kind heart. However， Yale University researchers seem to disapprove of the old saying.
