Sevenhugs HugOne
Do you want to improve the quality of your sleep? Sevenhugs has created HugOne that tracks different sleep patterns to help families consistently rest better. There are dozens of devices and tools devoted to monitoring the sleep. But, HugOne is the world’s first family smart home sleep system, which integrates a calculation rule for sleep patterns of children and adults.
HugOne is a well-designed product, full of a sense of science and technology. It connects to a number of smaller sensors called “minihugs”, which are placed on the edge of each bed. They monitor the sleep patterns and other data coming from the person sleeping in that bed. The data arethen sent to an app on the smartphone.
● The benefits of HugOne include:
* Having a smart alarm clock on the app as HugOne learns your sleep cycle and automatically sets and sounds to when the best moment in your sleep cycle is identified.
* Monitoring temperature and humidity in your bedroom as well as indoor air quality for the main living space.
* Linking with smart lamps and thermostats, allowing users to fall asleep with sunset light and preferred nighttime temperatures, and wake up to sunrise light and preferred daytime temperatures.
* Ensuring safety from electronic transmissions when you sleep-when the minihug senses a presence in bed, it shuts off its electronic transmissions and starts recording sleep data and sending them to the app.
● The following are selected from customers’ comments:
I prefer HugOne, since it’s convenient to use. I simply place the minihug in the corner of my bed under the sheet and it goes to work monitoring my sleep cycle. It’s really good.
—Robert Compton
● HugOne available for purchase includes:
I think HugOne is a humanized product. It’s shareable, and I’ve connected eight minihugs to the HugOne base in my house. All my family members think highly of it.
—Chris Hanawalt
HugOne will provide maximum protection for your sleep. If you want to get more detailed information, please call the sellers at 1-800-576-1899 or .

My first week working in a restaurant, one of the servers said something that stuck with me: Everyone should work in a restaurant for at least a year. At the time, I didn't get it, but I took the advice to heart and worked in restaurants on and off for the next eight years. Before realizing it, I mastered many important skills, one of which is communication skill.
When I was little, I was so shy that I used to hide behind my mom whenever someone spoke to me. And when I first started in restaurants, I had two personalities: Restaurant Lizzy and Home Lizzy. It was easier to pretend to be a different person while at work, since it was so different from who I actually was. But gradually, the skills I learned working in restaurants helped Home Lizzy come out of her shell in the real world.
When you work in a restaurant, you don't have the luxury of hiding behind your parents to avoid talking to people. I'm still 110% an introvert, but restaurant work helped me communicate. Working in a restaurant not only helped me speak clearly, deliberately and directly but also taught me how to talk about almost everything. Some guests don't want their servers to interact too much with them, and that's fine. But some sit at the bar simply to
chat with you. You learn how to judge your guests' level of interest in communicating with you, and how to exit a conversation at the appropriate time.
My restaurant work is something that I'm most proud of and I know I wouldn't be the person I am today without those eight years of experience. If you're still on the fence about working in a restaurant for that long, start with one year. I doubt that you'll look back.
4. What did the writer think of the server's words?
A. Impressive.
B. Ridiculous.
C. Amusing.
D. Logical.

C. Communication skills advance your career.
D. Restaurantwork helps to achieve a better self.

Our house was across the street from a big hospital so we rented our spare upstairs room to outpatients (门诊病人). One evening, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a truly sick-looking man.
His face looked terrible — it was swollen and red. Yet his voice was pleasant. He told me that he came for treatment and that he’d been hunting for a spare room since noon, but no one would give him one. “I guess it’s my face...”
For a moment, I hesitated, but his next words convinced me: “I will sleep in this rocking chair on the porch. My bus leaves early in the morning.”
The old man had a huge heart inside his tiny body. He told me that he fished for a living to support his daughter, his daughter’s five children and her disabled husband.
He didn’t complain while telling me his story. He was grateful that no pain accompanied his disease, which was seemingly a form of skin cancer.
The next morning, he said, “Can I come back and stay next time I need treatment?” I told him he was
welcome to come again.
On his next trip, as a gift, he brought a big fish and some large oysters (牡蛎). In the years that he stayed with us, there was never a time that he did not bring us gifts like these.
My neighbour warned me that I could lose potential renters after the old man left.
Maybe we did lose renters once or twice. But if they had known him, perhaps their illnesses would have been easier to bear. I know our family will always be grateful to have known him. From him, we learned what it was to accept the bad without complaint and the good with gratitude.
8. Why did the author let the old man stay after hesitation?
A. The old man looks terrible and frightening.
B. The old man is pitifully undemanding.
C. The old man could’t rent room from others.
D. The old man talked happily with the author.
9. Which of the following shows the old man had a big heart?
A.He had a large family to raise.
B. He could sleep in a rocking chair.
C. He did’t care about his disease.
D. He wanted to come back and stay the next time.
10. What can we learn about the author from the last two paragraphs?
A. He was grateful for the neighbour’s warning.
B. He and his neighbor are good friends.
C. He truly appreciated the old man.
D. He lost potential renters happily.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text ?
A. Kindness makes the world beautiful.
B. Happiness is around thecorner.
C. No pains, No gains.
D. Live positively.
D
To stay healthy and fit, Chinesestudents do group exercises every day at school. Most of you probably do the same set of exercises. But some school exercises have grown popular online due to their local and innovative designs.
Singing in Sichuan dialects with energetic movements and unique mask-changing is not just a Sichuan Opera
performance. It’s the routine exercise for students of Mianyang Foreign Languages Experimental School in Sichuan province.
“Sichuan Opera is a local opera, and it is now facing a gap in inheritance (传承). Therefore, we cooperated with Mianyang Intangible Cultural Heritage Center to create a simple and easy-to-learn Sichuan Opera exercise,” said Shen Junhua, who is in charge of organizing the school’s exercise between classes.
According to Shen, this new type of exercise has been practiced since 2017 and has been popular among students. When students enroll (入学), they will spend several weeks practicing it. At present, almost all of the students and teachers have mastered it.
“In fact, we had hardly heard of Sichuan Opera before teachers taught us how to do the Sichuan Opera exercise,” said Li Yangwenwen, 14, an eighth grade student who also joined the school’s Sichuan Opera club out of interest. “It’s very different from normal exercises. After practicing it, we found it very beautiful and became interested in it. Now, almost all of the students look forward to our daily exercise time and feel excited to do it.”
“By combining opera with daily exercise, the daily class activity allows students to perceive and understand Sichuan Opera’s culture”, Shen said. “After years of continuous effort to spread the seeds of traditional culture, the younger generation is finally catching on.”
12. What do students in Shen’s school do during the group exercise?
A. They do normal exercise .
B. They sing pop songs in Sichuan dialects.
C. They do mask-changing in a Sichuan Opera performance.
D. They combine group exercise with Sichuan Opera.
13. Why do they adopt the new type of exercise?
A. To attract new students to the school.
B. To inherit local culture.
C. To create an easy-to-learn exercise.
D. To make the school’s group exercise popular.
14. How do teachers and students react to the group exercise?
A. Calm.
B. Indifferent.
C. Enthusiastic.
D. Uninterested.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Shen’s continuous effort is highly praised.
B. The younger generation will have a stronger body.
C. The students can better understand their local culture.
D. Students help to spread the seeds of traditional culture toyounger generation.

Can Skipping Dinner Help You Lose Weight?
If your phone needs a software upgrade, you would likely run the operation when its fully charged.____16____A new study finds human energy systems operate in a similar fashion: Our metabolisms likely function best in the morning when our bodies are fresh and fully charged.
Specifically, people who eat larger breakfasts and adopt an 18-hour overnight fast, say from 1 pm to 7 am, have the lowest body weights.____17____
Contrary to the popular belief, these extended overnight fasts seem to help increase metabolic function. Lead author Dr Hana Kahleova finds meals consumed in the evening, compared to those eaten in the morning, result in higher blood sugar, which happens when insulin cannot process glucose into energy.____18____What does this mean for you? Depending on your goals and health status, you may consider rearranging your meals. If you're looking to lose 10 pounds, the 18-to 19-hour overnight fast might work well for you.____19____So you could experiment with skipping one meal each day.
____20____People who maintain highly active lifestyles, for instance, and need adequate fuel to power morning runs or help muscle fibers recover from intense evening workouts like weightlifting might not benefit. Still, the concept provides an insight into how our bodies use fuel efficiently.
A. Of course, this approach isn't for everyone.
B. So, let's say you consume 1,500 to 1,800 calories a day.
C. Those who ate later in the day, after 6 pm, had higher body weights.
D. Otherwise, your phone and its software would take longer to sync.
E. This means eating a larger breakfast, a medium-sized lunch and no dinner.
F. Like a block in a machine extra glucose slows our metabolic process down.
G. The advice to eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar has new science behind it.
