Sound sleep occurs when one's internal clock is regulated. Circadian rhythms (生理节奏) can become compromised quite easily. Many people with sleep troubles tend to vary bedtimes. To avoid this common problem, sleep sufferers should go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. To help improve circadian rhythms,sufferers should enjoy 15 minutes of sun exposure the first thing in the morning.
A bedtime routine can help prevent insomnia(失眠). One hour before bedtime, one should lower the lights and relax.Reading a book or listening to calm music can help prepare the body for a good night's sleep. Taking a warm, candlelit bath or drinking a cup of warm milk can also help you prepare for deep sleep at night.
Stress can have a bad effect on the body and the ability to sleep. A daily exercise routine can help lower the body's stress naturally. One can also manage stress by writing diaries. Writing diaries can help people express their anxieties, plan for the future and improve sleep. Other ways to lower stress include deep breathing exercises and progressive muscle relaxation.
The light sending out from computers, cellphones, tablets and televisions can cause sleep problems.Therefore, these items should be turned off at least an hour before bedtime.Additionally,lowering the backlight on these electronic devices earlier in the evening can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer once bedtime arrives.
A perfect bedroom invites sweet sleep. Most people sleep better ina cool, dark, and quiet room. Lower the temperature in the room to 16 -20 degrees for a peaceful night's sleep. A dark room can be accomplished by installing light blocking curtains or wearing a sleep mask. Noise can be reduced with either earplugs or a white noise machine. Finally, a comfortable mattress(床垫) and pillowsare essential to a good night's sleep.
22、What is the passage mainly about?
A、How to get a sound sleep.
B、How to lower body stress.
C、How to regulate internal clocks.
D、How to manage anxieties.

Tom was aged four but he was talking like a two-year-old baby. He was saying such things as"kick ball" and"want car", and using lots of one-word sentences. He should have been saying some really long sentences and telling stories with them. He wasn't.Something had gone terribly wrong.
Quite a few children have what is called a"language delay". For some reason they don't learn to speak as quickly as they should. Their friends shoot ahead and they're left behind. As aresult, they get very lonely. Nobody wants to talk to you if you can't talk back.
Can anything be done to help these children? Yes. They can go to see a speech therapist--a person who's specially trained to work out what's wrong and who knows how to teach language to children. This is what happened to Tom. The speech therapist played some games with him and heard how he talked. She made a recording of his speech, and chatted to his morn and dad about his background. They'd taken Tomto see a doctor, but the doctor hadn't found anything wrong with him.
He seemed perfectly normal in everyway--except he just wasn't talking.
After Tom and his parents had gone home,the therapist listened carefully to the recording she'd made. Then she looked at a chart which showed how language developed in children aged two, three,andfour. She could see Tom was a long way behind.
The next step, she decided, was to teachTom how to say some new sentences like "kick a red ball, " and"the clown is kicking a ball. " Tom didn't get the new sentences right straight away. But the therapist was very patient, and after a few more visits he started to make some progress.
23、How did the author introduce the topic of this passage ?
A、By describing grammar errors made by kids.
B、By sharing experiences of speech therapists.
C、By using Tom, s case as an example.
D、By stating his personal views to readers.

On a dry and cold Friday afternoon last October, Sharon Seline exchanged text messages with her daughter who was in college. They "chatted" back and forth, with the mom asking how things were going and the daughter answering positively followed by emoticons(表情符) showing smiles, b-i-g smiles and hearts.
Later that night, her daughter attempted suicide.
In the days that followed, it came to light that she'd hidden herself in her dorm, crying and showing signs of depression--a completely different reality from the one that she conveyed intexts and Facebook posts.
As human beings, our only real method ofconnection is through real communication. Studies show that only 7% of communication is based on writing and speaking. The majority of 93% is based onbody language. Indeed, it's only when we can hear a tone of voice or look into someone's eyes that we're able to know when "I'm fine" doesn't mean they're fine at all.
This is where social media gets risky.
With modern technology, anyone can hide behind the text, the e-mail, or the Facebook post,projecting any image they want and creating a false image of their choosing. They can be whoever they want tobe. And without the ability to receive body language, their audiences are nonethe wiser.
This presents a paradox which doesn't exist before. With all the powerful social technologies at our finger tips, we are more connected--and potentially more disconnected--than ever before.
Every relevant metric(衡量标准) shows that we are interacting at a great speed and frequency through social media.But are we really communicating? With 93% of our communication context(语境) lost, weare now attempting to establish relationships and make decisions based onphrases or emoticons, which may or may not accurately represent the truth.
{TS} Why does social media get risky according to the author?
A、The users' social connection is lost.
B、The users' messages may be ignored.
C、The users' real emotion may be hidden.
D、The users' voices can hardly be heard.
25、What phenomenon does the underlined word "paradox" ( Paragraph 7) reflect?
A、People can be both happy and unhappy.
B、People can be both connected and disconnected.
C、People can end up being both wise and stupid.
D、People can form both true and false impressions.
26、What is true about today's communication through social media?
A、It causes more health risks.
B、It gives little communication context.
C、It leads to better relationships.
D、It improves the quality of interaction.
27、What is the best title for the passage?
A、Social Media and Its Function
B、Social Media and Its Abuses
C、Social Media and Its Future
D、Social Media and Its Risks

Alan Lakein, a time management expert,thinks that nothing is a total waste of time, including doing nothing at times.If you arrange things so that you find time to relax and "donothing", you will get more done and have more fun doing it.
One of his clients, a space engineer,didn't know how to " do nothing ". Every minute of his leisure time was scheduled with intense activities. He had an outdoor-activities schedule in which he switched from skiing to tennis. His girlfriend kept up with him in these activities, although she would have preferred just to sit by the fire and relax once in a while. Like too many people, he felt the need to be doing something all the time, for doing nothing seemed a waste of time. His"relaxing by the fire" consisted of playing chess, reading magazines,or checking emails.
For an experiment, Alan asked him to"waste" his time for five minutes during one of their sessions together. What the engineer ended up doing was relaxing, sitting quietly and day dreaming.When he was finally able to admit that emotional reasons caused himto reject relaxing as a waste of time, he began to look more critically at thatway of thinking. Once he knew that relaxing was a good use of time, he became less serious about being busy and started enjoying each activity more.
Previously he had been so busy doing that he had no time to have fun at anything. He began to do less and have more fun.When Alan saw the client about three years later, he still had as busy aschedule as ever, but he was able to balance his activity with relaxing so thathe came back to work Monday morning not feeling tired out from a busy weekend but refreshed.
28、What did "doing nothing" mean to the space engineer at first?
A、Outdoor activities.
B、A waste of time.
C、Few daily schedules.
D、More family hours.

Socrates is often referred to as one ofthe founders of Western philosophy, and yet he wrote nothing, established no school, and held no particular theories of his own. What he did do, however,was frequently ask the questions that interested him, and in doing so developed a new way of thinking.This method proceeds(展开) as a dialogue between opposing views, and it earned him many enemies in Athens, where he lived.
As a young man, Socrates is believed to have studied natural philosophy, looking at the various explanations of the nature of the universe, but then became involved in the politics of thecity-state and concerned with more down-to-earth moral issues, such as the nature of justice.
However, he was not interested in winning arguments, or arguing for the sake of making money.
Nor was he seeking answers or explanations.He was simply examining the basis of the concepts we apply to ourselves ( suchas "good", "bad", and "just"), for he believed that understanding what we are is the first task of philosophy.
He was sentenced to death on charges of corrupting the young with bad ideas. But he also had many followers, and among them was Plato, who recorded Socrates' ideas in the written works, called dialogues,in which Socrates sets about examining various ideas.Socrates' central concern,then, was the examination of life, and it was his cruel questioning of people'smost valued beliefs ( largely about themselves) that earned him his enemies--but he remained committed to his task until the very end. According tothe account of his defense at his trial, Socrates chose death rather than face a life of ignorance: "The life which is unexamined is not worth living. "
29、What is true about Socrates?
A、Socrates solved the problems of Western philosophy.
B、Socrates tried to find answers to his questions.
C、Socrates forced his enemies to accept his ideas.
D、Socrates cared about the meaning of life.
