If you struggle to fall asleep quickly, you’re not alone! Fortunately, thereare plenty of solutions you can try. With a few changes, you can fall asleep fast every night!
Keep your room dark. Turn off all the lights above your head when you go to bed. Any bright light can make you believe it is too early in the day for sleep. If you want to read or write before bed, try using a small book light. Now that blue lights can keep you awake, red ones are a great choice.
If you can, keep noise in and around your room the lowest at night. If you have an old clock that ticks loudly and keeps you awake, replace it with a silent one. If you share your home with anyone else, request that they keep noises like talking, music, or TV shows at the lowest while you are trying to sleep. It is difficult to fall asleep if you live near a busy road or hear other boring sounds after bedtime. You could get a white noise machine or play recordings of nature sounds, like waves or whales’ singing. You could also listen to soft, relaxing music.
Read a book in bed if you have difficulty in falling asleep. Staying in bed doing nothing when you’re having trouble falling asleep may keep you wide awake. While reading in bed may be slightly harmful to your eyes, it can distract (分散) you from your thoughts and help you feel sleepy. But remember to read from a print book rather than something with a screen. The light from electronic screens can keep you awake.
Lowering your body temperature helps you sleep, so set the room temperature between 15.5℃-21℃could do the trick.
4. What color1 book light should you choose toread before bed?
A. Red.
B. Blue.
C. White.
D. Orange.
5. What is the author’s attitude towards reading in bed?
A. Doubtful.
B. Worried.
C. Favorable.
D. Uncaring.
6. What can we inferred from the text?
A. Reading on cellphones sometimes helps you fall asleep.
B. The lower your temperature while sleeping is, the better.
C. Bright lights are better for your reading before going to bed.
D. Playing recordings like birds’ singing can improve your sleep.
7. How does the author organize the text?
A. By givingexamples.
B. By asking questions.
C. By offering suggestions.
D. By listing research results.
C
She is one of mankind’s oldest ancestors and is more than three million years old. New analysis of the arm bones of Lucy, an early hominid, suggests she was a tree climber. Lucy’s remains were uncovered in Ethiopia in the 1970s, with the 3.18 million-year-old skeleton(骨骼)being the most complete of any upright, walking human ancestor. Since she was discovered, researchers have debated whether she spent her life in the trees or spent time walking on the plains as well.
The new evidence from scans of her arm bones proves she spent time climbing and used her arms to pull herself up. The scans were compared with cross sections of humans and chimpanzees, which spend a mixture of time in trees and walking on all fours on the ground. They found that the arm bones were more heavily built, similar to those of chimps, while her lower limbs(下肢)would have meant she walked less efficiently than modern humans. Professor John Kappelman, atUniversityofTexas, believes the advantage of his study was that it focused on characteristics that reflect actual behavior during life, suggesting that evenwhen Lucy walked upright, she may have done so less efficiently than modern humans, limiting her ability to walk long distances on the ground.
Previous studies suggested that Lucy was just 4 feet tall and weighed just 65 pounds. Combining the new data paints a picture of an ancestor who may have spent a great amount of her time in trees. It also expands on evidence from earlier this year which claimed that Lucy may have died from a fall, most likely from a tree. The evidence suggests Lucy may have spent time on the ground, returning to the safety of the trees for food and to sleep, to avoid her enemies.
8. What did the researchers argue about after Lucy was discovered?
A. Where she lived.
B. How long she lived.
C. What she ate.
D. How she worked.
9. How could people tell Lucy spent time climbing?
A. By her walking style.
B. By her heavily built arm bones.
C. By her strong lower limbs.
D. By her large cross sections.
10. When Lucy walked, she may________.
A. have walked with bigger steps
B. have walked at a faster speed
C. have walked more efficiently than us
D. have walked a shorter distance than us
11. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Guesses about Lucy’s characteristics.
B. Some evidence of Lucy’s health.
C. The safety of Lucy.
D. The ancestor of Lucy.
D
It’s a big change from homeless teen to Yale (耶鲁)medical school student, butperseverancepaid off for Chelesa Fearce of Clayton County, Georgia.
Fearce was a fourth grader when her mom was diagnosed (诊断) with Lymphoma (淋巴瘤).That began a hard time for the family. They had to move in and out of shelters,hotels and even the family car.
“I know I have been made stronger. I was homeless. My family slept on the floor and we were lucky if we got more than one full meal a day. Getting a shower, food and clean clothes was an everyday struggle,” Fearce said in a speech she gave at her high school graduation ceremony. Fearce overcame her day-to-day struggles by focusing on a better day. “I just told myself to keep working, because the future will not be like this anymore. And that helped me get through,” she told WSBTV.
Fearce was determined to be a good role model for her younger sister. She found inspiration in her late grandmother, struggling with deadly diseases, who gave Fearce emotional support. In her junior and senior year, Fearce took both high school and college courses, missing out on the free meals she depended on so she could get to her college classes. Despite having to use her cellphone to study after the shelter lights were turned off at night, she not only graduated as valedictorian (毕业生代表) of her 2013 class with a 4.5 grade average, but was also given a ride scholarship—including a meal plan to Spelman College in Atlanta.
After graduation, she worked full time for two years at the National Institutes for Health inBethesda,Maryland,doing research on drugs. Last fall, she entered Yale and set a course to earn both a PhD and medical degree.
12. What does the underlined word “perseverance” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. instant passion.
B. continuous efforts.
C. great patience.
D. selfless ambitions.
13. How did Fearce feel facing the sufferings?
A. Sad and disappointed.
B. Stressed and defeated.
C. Determined and confident.
D. Joyous and contented.
14. What can we know about Fearce’s learning experience?
A. Her grandma encouraged her to study medicine.
B. Her high school offered her free meals and courses.
C. She failed to study late due to frequent power cut.
D. She gained remarkable high school achievement.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. From Homeless to Yale
B. Meet American’s Top Girl
C. Disabled but not Defeated
D. Chelesa Fearce: A Girl of Many Talents
