The OM Man and the Sea ，for which Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature,
is one of the most influential novels of the literary treasure of the world. Famously known for his
brief and short sentences ，Hemingway created ah interesting and unique style of writing that still
appeal to readers today.
Santiago was an aged Cuban fisherman, and many thought that he could no longer fish. For eighty-four days ，he set out to sea and returned empty-handed. So unlucky was he that the parents of his young, devoted apprentice (徒弟）and friend , Manolin , forced the boy to leave the old man in order to fish in a more profitable boat On the eighty-fifth day ，the fisherman set out into the open sea to go fishing. At noon ，a big Marlin took hold of one of the lines, but the fish was far too big for him to handle.
Santiago let the fish have enough line, so that it wouIdn9t break his pole；but he and his boat were dragged out to sea for three days. Finally ，the fish grew tired. Santiago killed it Even this final victory didn’t end his journey. He was still far, far out to sea. To make matters worse, Santiago dragged the Marlin behind the boat and the fish blood attracted sharks.
Santiago did his best to beat the sharks away ，but his efforts were not enough, The sharks ate the flesh off the Marlin ，and Santiago was left with only the bones. Santiago was tired out He got back home with nothing to show for his pains but the skeletal (骨骼的）remains of a large Marlin. Even with just the bare remains of the fish, the experience changed him, and charged the opinions others had of him. Manolin , who had been worried over the old man’s absence, was moved to tears when he found Santiago safe in his bed, When the old man woke ，the two agreed to fish as partners once more.
With Santiago5S struggle to catch the Marlin and his journey home ，Santiago’s courage was obvious as he faced challenges that just didn’t seem to end. He didn’t give up and even though he felt he had been very unlucky, there was hope to keep going on. He was destroyed but not defeated.

Several years ago ，Masaru Ibuka ，chairman of Sony ，was at a company planning a meeting. Suddenly he hδd a brilliant idea. He stopped the meeting and asked everyone present what would happen if Sony removed the recording function and 'speaker and sold headphones with a tape player instead. Almost everyone thought he was crazy. Still ，Ibuka kept thinking about his idea
and worked at improving it The result, of course, turned out to be the wildly successful Sony Walkman.
Good ideas often start with a seemingly silly question. Bill Bowerman was making breakfast one day. As he stood there making waffles (烘饼）for his son, he wondered what would happen if he poured rubber into his waffle iron. Later ，he tried it and the result looked something Like the bottom of most sports shoes we see today. Still, when he took this idea to several existing shoe companies, he was laughed at In fact, every single company turned him down. Though rather discouraged, Bowerman insisted and went on to form his own company, making NBKE athletic shoes.
Sometime good ideas grow out of frustration (受挫）.When Fred Smith was a student at Yale University, he had some paperwork that he needed to have delivered across the country the next day. Smith was amazed to find out that overnight delivery was impossible. He sat for a long while ，lost in thought Why couldn’t there be a reliable overnight mail delivery service? He decided to design one. Smith did just that and turned his design into a class project His business professor ga ve him only a C for his efforts. However, Smith was not through. He improved the idea in that class project and finally turned them into one of the first and most successful overnight mail service in the world — FedEx.
We know that each of these ideas led to a very successful product or service that has changed the way many of us live. The best questions are usually open-ended and are often silly, Children aren’t afraid to ask such questions，but adults frequently are. Think how different the world might be if people neve r asked “ silly” questions!
68. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Sony Walkman achieved great success with its recording function and speaker.
B. Bill Bowerman was experimenting with rubber for large shoe companies.
C. Shoe companies rejected Bill Bowerman as they failed to see the potential of Nike.
D. Fred Smith got the idea of an overnight mail service from his own experience.

A. They were all determined about carrying out their ideas.
B. They were good at answering other people’s silly questions.
C. They started their own company after discussing with others.
D. They had a very clear plan for their new ideas at the very start
70.We can conclude from the passage that_______.
A. asking others for their silly questions leads to inventions
B. lots of creative ideas usually end up as “silly” questions
C. adults usually ask more silly questions than children
D. crazy ideas sometimes contribute to great inventions

Sleep is a basic human need, as basic as the need for oxygen. Getting a good night’s s leep is not only directly related to how we feel the next day, but to our long-term health as well. Still, many of us suffer from at least occasional insomnia (失眠).Even more of us report at least one night of restless sleep per week that leaves us feeling ill and irritable ,This is a serious problem, If you think otherwise, consider this. People who sleep four hours or less per night are twice as likely hot to survive in six years as those who sleep the normal eight hours or so.
Given the seriousness of sleep, how can we make sure that we rest well and stay healthy? While there are no one hundred percent reliable methods, here are some suggestions from sleep experts. K you do have trouble sleeping and these methods d o n’t help ，i t’s important that you see a doctor before insomnia causes your health to suffer. Start with these suggestions, though.
. I f you c a n’t sleep in the middle o£ the night，d o n’t get up. Exposing yourself to bright light will affect your body clock and worsen your insomnia.
. Avoid naps(小睡），except for a brief ten-to-fifteen-minute nap between 2:00 and 4:00 PM.
. Get regular exercise each day, but finish at least six hours before bedtime. Exercising in the evening can help keep you awake.
. Take a hot bath for thirty minutes within two hours of bedtime. The bath will warm you, relax you ，and make you .feel sleepy.
. Keep your bedroom dark, quiet, and well ventilated (通风的）.
. Keep a regular schedule seven days a week. Sleeping late on the weekends can lead to insomnia during the week.
. Get at least half an hour of sunlight within thirty minutes of waking. Without the sunlight, your body doesn’t know it’s awake.
. Keep the face of the clock in your bedroom turned away, and d o n’t find out what time it is when you awaken in the night
