Most human beings are kind, good-natured beings who will help someone out in need if they are able to, especially if that someone is a little kid. Travis Sattler is one of those human beings.
The 18-year-old didn't think twice about helping a little boy who walked up to the counter at Freddy's Frozen Custard where he'd been working for a year. The little boy named Johnny Smith had just finished eating with his mother when he walked up to the counter where Travis was working as the cashier. He ordered an ice cream. "once I told
him the total, he was counting his change and all of his money, and then he handed everything to me. But he didn't have enough money to pay for it. He was maybe $2 short," Travis said.
But Travis wasn't about to let this boy walk out of the restaurant without his ice cream. So, he pulled out his credit card and told the boy to take the ice cream away. "He had a big smile and the widest eyes when he ran back to his mom and told her what happened." Travis said.
About 30 minutes later, the little boy walked up to Travis and handed him a note before walking out of the restaurant with his mom. It says, "Thank you for being so nice and paying for my ice cream. We need more people like you." The note also had a $100 bill folded in it.
"I think I brightened up their day," Travis said. And Travis's boss couldn't be more proud of him. He gave him an extra $100 bill as well and sent him some goodies.

Did you know it's possible to swim with whales in the ocean while lying on a hospital bed? Have you imagined experiencing your 74th birthday as a 20-something? Medical virtual（虚拟的）reality is an area with interesting an attractive possibilities. Although the field is brand new, there are already great examples of VR having a positive effect on health care. Here are some.
Have you ever lain down on a hospital bed counting the days until you leave the hospital? Brennan Spiegel and his team at the Cedars-sinai hospital in Los Angeles introduced VR worlds to their patients to help them reduce stress and pain. With the special glasses, they could escape the four walls of the hospital and enjoy amazing scenery in part in the work of an art studio or swim together with whales in the ocean. So the hospital experience is improved.
As we know, the experience in a hospital is even more stressful for small children who miss their parents and friends. Now, a Dutch company made their dream possible. Through a smart and virtual glasses, VisitU makes live contact （联系）possible with a 360 degree camera at the patients home, school or special occasions like a birthday celebration or a football game. Though staying in hospital, young patients can relax and still enjoy their lives.
Did you wonder what it feels like to grow old? Embodied Labs created "We Are Alfred" by using VR to show young medical students what ageing means. Everyone can be the imagined Alfred for 7 minutes, and experience what it feels like to live as a 74-year-old man. Thus it's possible to solve the disconnection between young doctors and elderly patients due to their huge age difference.
Mindmotionpro, produced by the Swiss Mindmaze allows patients with a brain injury to "practice" how to lift their arms or move their fingers with the help of virtual reality. The app makes the practice of repetitive movements fun for patients. The mental effort helps their damaged nervous systems to recover much faster than lying help less lying bed.

A.The imagination about medical VR.
B.The popularity of medical VR.

A.Being together with familiar people.
B.Having access to various activities.
C.Being given a smart phone.
D.Having fun in the hospital.
（3）What is the real purpose of "We Are Alfred"?
A.To help doctors experience the life of an elder.
B.To increase doctors' interest in their work.
C.To make doctors trust their patients.
D.To help young doctors know much about elderly patients.
（4）Which example is intended to show that medical VR speeds up recovery?
A.The creation of "We Are Alfred".
B.The use of MindMotionPro.
C.Spiegel special glasses.
D.The application of VisitU.

Sleep deprivation（缺失）is an important hidden factor in lowering the achievement of school pupils, according to researchers carrying out international education tests.
It is a particular problem in richer countries with sleep experts linking it to the use of mobile phones and computers in bedroom late at night. Sleep deprivation is such a serious problem that lessons have to be dragged down to a lower level to suit sleep-deprived learners, the study found. The international comparison, carried out by Boston
College, found the United States to have the highest number of sleep-deprived students, with 73% of 9- and 10-year-olds and 80% of 13- and 14-year-olds identified by their teachers as being negatively affected.
In literacy（读写能力）tests there were 76% of 9- and 10-year-olds lacking sleep. This was much higher than the international average of 47% of primary pupils needing more sleep and 57% among the secondary age group.
Other countries with the most sleep-deprived youngsters were New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Australia, England, Ireland and France. High-performing Finland is also among the most lacking in sleep. Countries with the best records for getting enough sleep include Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Japan and Malta.
The analysis was part of the huge date-gathering process for global education rankings, the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study（TIMSS）and Progress in International Reading Literacy Study（PIRLS）.
"I think we underestimate the impact of sleep. Our data show that across countries internationally, on average, children who have more sleep achieve higher in maths, science and reading. That is exactly what our data show," says Chad Minnich of the TIMSS and PIRLS International Study Center.
"It's the same link for children who are lacking basic nutrition, " says Mr Minnich, based at the Lynch School of Education, Boston College. "If you are unable to concentrate, to attend mentally, you are unable to achieve at your best level, because your mind and body are in need of something more basic. Sleep is a fundamental need for all children. If teachers report such large proportions of children suffering from lack of sleep, it's having a significant impact. But worse than that, teachers are having to adjust their instruction based on those children who are suffering from a lack of sleep. The children who are suffering from a lack of sleep are driving down instruction."
That means that even the children who are getting enough sleep are still suffering from this sleep-related lowering.
（1）What did the researchers of Boston College try to find?
A.The relationship between sleep and health.
B.The relationship between sleep and test results.
C.Why children don't get enough sleep.
D.How many hours children sleep every night.
（2）Many children suffer from sleep deprivation because ________.
A.modern technological devices consume a lot of their time
B.their homework occupies too much of their time
C.they sit in front of the TV for too long
D.they can hardly sleep soundly and deeply
（3）Which of the following countries has the most sleep-deprived students?
A.Portugal.
B.Finland.
C.Japan.
D.Malta.
（4）Why are children who get enough sleep also victims? A.Because the teachers waste time disciplining sleep-deprived students.
B.Because they have to spend time helping sleep-deprived students.
C.Because they are disturbed by sleep-deprived students.
D.Because teaching is driven down by sleep-deprived students.

My boyfriend and I had been dating for almost a year and both felt it was time for us to join our lives together in holy marriage.
The month of January was spent planning our perfect June wedding. My mother, two sisters and I went to town to buy the gown that would play the leading role on my special occasion. We went from one shop to another, still no sign of the dress of my dreams. We were about to give up when we entered one more shop.
I had a good feeling as we entered the quiet little shop filled with the scent of fresh flowers. The shop owner announced she had one dress in the back that was expensive and not even my size, but perhaps I might want to look at it anyway. When she brought it out, I screamed in delight This was it!
Even though it was too large and more costly than I had expected, I talked Mom into buying it. My excitement assured me I would be able to get it resized in my hometown.
A friend gave me the number of a lady who worked at home changing clothes. When I arrived at her house, she carefully inspected my dress and asked me to try it on. Then she told me to pick it up in two days.
When the time came to pick it up, I was excited but a little nervous What would have become of my wedding gown?
Thank goodness. The dress still looked exactly the same, but it now fitted as if it had been made especially for me.
But on Valentine's Day, my fiance called and said he was to call off the wedding. He said he wanted to travel and experience life for a few years before settling down. He apologized for it and then quickly left town. My world turned upside down, I was heart-broken and had no idea how to recover. Day by day I survived.
