The siesta competition took place in a supermarket, with plenty of shoppers, screaming babies, talking voices, and footsteps to take the competitors’ attention away from their after lunch sleeps.
Five bright blue sofas were laid out, and five competitors at a time were allowed to take a 20-minute sleep. A doctor measured their pulse to time how long they actually spent on asleep. Competitors earned extra points for snoring (打
鼾),sleeping in strange positions, or wearing silly pajamas (睡衣).The winners of each round advance to the next stage in the competition.
It’s amazing that any of those people would fall asleep in the middle of such a busy place, while on couches that they are not used to. Yet, many of them did. They hugged pillows or soft toy bears. They covered their eyes with sleep masks, too. Whatever it took to help them fall asleep fast and stay asleep.
The siesta is a tradition in Spain that many feel is becoming forgotten. It used to be that people would take a brief nap after lunch every day. This would energize them, and keep them going for the rest of the day. Not to mention the health benefits of a good nap. But, that’s all changing. People are too busy making money or watching
gossip shows on TV after lunch to care about taking a nap.
The National Association of Friends of the Siesta wants to bring Spain back to their traditional roots. They are doing this by having the siesta competition. They set up the competition to reward the best sleepers with money. Actually, they were paid to sleep.
There are really health benefits to a midday nap. We could all learn from this tradition. It’s a much better way to get more energy than drinking a cup of coffee. It is also believed that a nap, and in fact a good night’s sleep, can help reduce heart disease. The more rested we are, the less stress we feel with day-to-day life.
24. The underlined word “ siesta 〞here probably means“ _____ 〞
A. oversleep
B. night sleep
C. a short sleep after supper
D. a short sleep after lunch
25. In what situation did the competition take place?
A. In a noisy place.
B. In a quiet place.
C. In a comfortable place.
D. In a familiar place.
26. When the competitors went to sleep, they could ____.
A. have their own beds
B. use nothing to cover their eyes
C. have doctors to help them
D. use something to help them sleep
27. The competition is held because the Association wants to _____.
A. know if people still know the traditional habit
B. call on people to have their traditional habit
C. do some research on how people sleep
D. give people money in this way
C
For Kim Duffy，sending away her teenage daughter was the best hope for saving the girl's life.
Corinne, then 17, had been struggling with bulimia(贪食症)and anorexia(厌食症)for more than five years. Duffy and her husband, Terry, found a residential facility in Virginia，and Corinne signed on for a two-month stay in the summer of 2021.
Today，Corinne's healthy and pursuing a master's degree in Colorado. She and her parents believe the holistic(整体)approach and individualized focus were key to her recovery. And they know they had access to unique resources. "We were fortunate, "says Duffy. "We could pay for everything."
But many can't. According to a report released in November 2021 by the Standing Committee on the Status of Women，between 600,000 and one million Canadians suffer from an eating disorder. Public in patient programs often won't admit patients until they're in life-threatening condition. Private clinics often have a long waitlists and high costs at Homewood, in Guelph, Ont., a room is $ 305 to $ 360 per day.
The Duffs' struggle led then to connect other families with the quality of care they received in the United Sates. In late 2021, he founded the WaterStone Clinic，a private eating disorder center in Toronto.
Since the facility opened, 170 clients have received treatment. They take yoga, do art therapy and participate in meal preparation, building real-life skills with
a support team. Programs run weekdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and notably, so far WaterStone has no waiting list.
But this approach is costly: approximately $ 650 per day. Realizing that the price tag puts WaterStone out of reach for many, the Duffys created the WaterStone Foundation-a charity that provides aid to patients who can't afford treatment the following year. Candidates are assessed by two committees that make a decision based on clinical and financial need. Since 2021,the foundation has helped 100 people.
Duffy also wants to change the public system. In June of this year, the foundation awarded $170,000 to four Ontario hopitals offering creative treatment to eating disorder patients. "Yes, people need private treatment," she says, “but it's important to help out on a broader scale,too."
28. Why did Duffy think they were fortunate?
A. They had enough money to travel abroad.
B. They could afford the medical resources.
C. They happened to find a right hospital.
D. They met very experienced doctors.
29. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. Public hospitals cannot treat patients with eating disorder.
B. Many people die from eating disorder in Canadian public hospitals.
C. A lot of eating disorder patients have no access to proper treatment.
D. In private clinics eating disorder patients will receive timely treatment.
30. Which of the following patients will receive help from WaterStone Foundation?
A. Poor ones who suffer from the disease.
B. Ones who are rejected by public hospitals.
C. Ones who are facing death.
D. old ones who are poor.
31. What do we know from Duffy's words in the last paragraph?
A. Only private clinics can give proper treatment to the patients.
B. Treatment of the disease in public hospitals should be improved.
C. She wants to cooperate with public hospitals to help the patients.
D. Public hospitals should do more to help people with eating disorder.
D
Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle. Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon.
The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype (原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton, marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics, says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly." It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed," he adds.
Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors to power the vehicle.
The company is testing a full-size prototype of the Hoverbike, which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.
In New Zealand, Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying device, called the Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1, 000meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.
Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said the Jetpack "is built around safety from the start". In his words, “Reliability is the most important element of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car.
The Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute that would be used, if there should be an emergency. "It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot," he adds. Mr. Coker says the Jetpack will be ready for sale soon.
32. We can learn from the passage that the Hoverbike
A. can hardly get in and out of small spaces quickly.
B. can fly for over 30 minutes, up to l, 000 meters high.
C. has been used by the police and emergency rescue teams.
D. can be transported quickly after being folded and packed.
33. Peter Coker uses the example of Formula One racing car to show that
A. the Jetpack is very safe and reliable.
B. the engine of the Jetpack is powerful.
C. the actual structure of the Jetpack is unique
D. the Jetpack can reach a great speed and height
34. The underlined word "It" in the last paragraph refers to .
A. the jet stream
B. the engine
C. the Jetpack
D. the parachute
35. What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?
A. To describe the problems of inventing flying vehicles.
B. To introduce the latest development of flying vehicles.
C. To show the differences between two flying vehicles.
D. To advertise the two personal flying vehicles.

A worker there gave us a detailed introduction or showed us to the pine woods. We choose a beautiful pine tree and the worker tied a adoption card to it. When my name was seeing on the card, I was so proud and felt a sense of responsibility at the same time. To memorize the excited moment, we took photos with our new family member—the pine tree. In one of the photos, we both smiled from the bottom of our
hearts.
