17、ast week, Carol Hill wrote to us about her sleep problem:I am a 16yearold high school student and ever since I was 11, I have had difficulty falling asleep. When I go to bed at night, I lie awake for hours. I hate the sound of my alarm clock going off in the morning, almost always falling asleep aga
18、in after I hear it.During school, I feel sleepy all the time, and sometimes I have to battle to stay awake. Although I am generally a straight-A student and my teachers are happy with my work, my inability to sleep is seriously affecting my studies.By the time I get home from school, I am so worn ou
19、t that I fall asleep while Im doing my homework, which just exacerbates the problem. People are very sympathetic, and always telling me that “counting sheep is a good way to fall asleep.” But it is not helpful at all. If you dont have this problem, you dont know how annoying it can be. And this is w
20、hat the readers answered:Hello Carol!I am 18 years old and I suffered in pretty much the same way as you in High School. I couldnt concentrate or pay attention because I was always tired. At first, doctors thought I had learning difficulties! Thankfully, I met a specialist in sleep disorders and he
21、gave me a simple herbal remedy（草药）which helped me a great deal. After just 10 days, my sleeping patterns were back to normal and it continued even after I stopped taking the remedy. My advice is to find a doctor who knows about sleep problems. Good luck!Larry Hi Carol!Your symptoms are the same as m
22、y daughters. When she was 11, she started walking up with a start time and time again during the night. She was always worn out and often had black circles under her eyes. Finally we went to a sleep research laboratory and a doctor discovered that she had a problem with her tonsils which was affecti
23、ng her breathing and suggested a tonsillectomy（扁桃体切除术）. It worked! Now she falls asleep seconds after putting her head on her pillow.

BShe should see a sleep specialist.CShe should have her tonsils out
26、. DShe should take some sleeping pills.BIt was the small hours of the morning when we reached London Airport. I had phoned London from Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happening before I reached my flat. In all my travels I have never, but for that onc
27、e, been required by the British customs to open a single bag or to do more than state that I carried no goods to declare. It was, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed my diplomacy （处事之道）. I was, for whichever reason, so tired that I could hardly
28、 stand, and to the question, “have you read this?” I replied with extreme foolishness, “yes, hundreds of times.”“And you have nothing to declare?”“Nothing.”“How long have you been out of this country?”“About three months.”“And during that time you have bought nothing?”“Nothing but what is on the lis
29、t I have given you.”He seemed momentarily at a loss, but then he attacked. The attack, when it came, was completely unexpected.“Where did you get that watch?”I could have kicked myself, two days before, when playing water games with a friend in the bath, I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER,
30、and it had, not unnaturally, stopped. I had gone into the market and bought, for only six pence, an ugly time piece that made a strange noise. It had stopped twice, without any reason, during the journey.I explained, but I had already lost face. I produced my own watch from a pocket, and added that
31、I should be grateful if he would confiscate（没收）the replacement.“It is not a question of confiscation, ” he said, “there is a fine for failing to declare dutiable goods. And now may I please examine that Rolex?”It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband(走私品);
32、then he began to search my luggage.60The writer arrived at London airport .Aat one oclock in the morning Blate at nightCin the early morning Dearly in the evening61From the questions asked by the customs officer we can infer that .Ahe wanted to embarrass the writerBhe was just doing his dutyChe must
33、 have noticed the writers ugly watch Dhe must have noticed the writers tiredness62Why did the writer buy the watch in the market?AIt was a Rolex. BHis own watch didnt work.CHe didnt like his own watch at all. DThe watch was cheap.63What do you suppose will probably happen to the writer in the end?AH
34、e will be let go through the customs without any punishment.BHe will be given a fine as a punishment.CHis Rolex will be confiscated.DHis cheap watch will be confiscated.CArt is considered by many people to be no more than a decorative（装饰）means of giving pleasure. This is not always the case, however
35、; at times, art may be seen to have a purely functional side as well. Such could be said of the sandpaintings of the Navaho Indians of the American Southwest; these have a medicinal as well as an artistic purpose.According to Navaho traditions, one who suffers from either a mental or a physical illn
36、ess has in some way disturbed or get in touch with the supernatural-perhaps a certain animal, a ghost, or the dead. To break away from this, the sick person or one of his relatives will employ a medical man called a “singer” to perform a curing ceremony which will attract a powerful supernatural bei
37、ng. During the ceremony, which may last from 2 to 9 days, the “singer” will produce a sandpainting on the floor. On the last day of the ceremony, the patient will sit on this sandpainting and the “singer” will rub（按摩）the. sick or injured parts of the patients body with sand from a specific figure in
38、 the sandpainting. In this way the patient absorbs the power of that particular supernatural being and becomes strong. After the ceremony, the sandpainting is destroyed so its power wont harm anyone.The art of sandpainting is handed down from old “singers”. The materials used are easily found where
39、the Navaho settle: brown, red, yellow, and white sandstone, which is ground（研磨）much as corn is made into flour. The “singer” holds a small amount of this sand in his hand and lets it flow between his fingers onto a clean, flat surface on the floor, with a steady hand and great patience. He is thus a
40、ble to create designs of stylized people, snakes and other creatures that have power in the Navaho belief system. The traditional Navaho doesnt allow copying sandpaintings, since he believes the supernatural powers that taught him the craft（技艺）have forbidden this; however, such reproductions can in
41、fact be purchased today in tourist shops in Arizona and New Mexico. These are done by either Navaho Indians or by other people who wish to preserve this craft.64Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?AThe Navaho Indians BThe Ancient “Singer”CFunctions of Art DThe Navaho Sandp
42、aintings 65How did the “singer” treat the patient according to the passage?ABy passing his supernatural power on to the patient.BBy applying a magic substance to the patients body.CBy rubbing the patients sick parts with sand from a sandpainting figure.DBy destroying the sandpainting figure.66The tr
43、aditional Navaho does not allow copying of sandpaintings because .Aanything copied has no effect Bthe craft only belongs to the supernaturalCits against Navaho belief system Dthe copying may do harm to other Navahos67That the reproductions of sandpaintings are now commercially available shows .Apeop
44、le have realized the artistic value of sandpaintingsBpatients have benefited from the powerful effect of sandpaintingsCmore people have come to believe in supernatural powerDmodern technology has helped the production of sandpaintingsDChinas human spaceflight program plans to build on the success of
45、 the Shenzhou VII mission（任务）. The country will set up a simple space lab by 2011 and a station nine years later.The space lab will be manned for short periods. Scientists will use it to learn docking and other skills needed for long-term tasks including possibly landing on the moon.The United State
46、s and Russia have set up space labs since the 1970s. scientists use space labs to study space and to do experiments they cannot do on Earth.We all know that Earth has gravity. And the force cannot be changed on the ground. But in space everything and everyone will be in a weightless condition. It is
47、 like when you are parachuting（降落伞降落）in space, but theres no destination. So astronauts float in the spaceships , and when they drop something, that floats too. Weightlessness provides scientists the opportunity to explore gravitys effects on the biological and physical systems.In 1973, the United States launched its first space lab, Skylab, into orbit. Skylab carried out experiments in human behavior to study the effects of long time periods on the human body when in space.They also learned much about solar flares（太阳耀斑）. Solar flares happen on the sun when energy e
