But three graduate students at Brown University in Providence built a company around sleep deprivation （睡眠不足）Jason Donahue, Ben Rubin and Eric Shashoua were working late nights in Browns business and engineering schoolsThey began thinking about ways to sleep betterThey discovered they werent alone in burning the midnight oilAround 20% of Americans get less than six hours of rest a nightThe friends imagined a smart alarm clock that could track how much time people spend in the most restorative （有回复作用的） stages of the sleep cycle: REM （rapid eye movement） and deep sleepWhat would it cost to design such a thing? Five years of research, 20 employees, $14 million and a whole lot of doubting from investors and scientistsTheir company, Zeo, based in Newton, Mass, launched its product in June, 2009The Zeo device uses a headband with tiny sensors （传感器） that scan your brain for signs of four sleep states- REM, light, deep and waking sleepThe smart alarm clock displays a graph of your sleep pattern and wakes you as youre not in REM sleep （which is when youre least groggy）In the morning you can upload the data to the companys Web site, and so track your sleep over timeMost of the feedback comes in the form of Zeos ZQ score showing how well youve sleptZeo allows people to unlock this black box of sleep, says Dave Dickinson, a health-care CEO. Whether any of this actually improves sleep is up to the consumer, who will also need to make lifestyle changes like cutting out alcohol before bedtime or caffeine after 3 pmFor now the company is selling Zeo online onlyDickinson also plans to spread it to countries such as Australia, where sleep deprivation approaches US levels29. Who will support Zeo? _A. People full of imagination. B. People suffering sleeping problems. C. People having access to the Internet. D. People having bad lifestyles. 30. To design the Zeo device, the three graduate students _A. spent much time and money B. were widely supported by scientistsC. worked by themselves all the time D. attracted many investors31. What can we know from the passage? _A. Zeo has a direct effect on users lifestyles.B. It needs more personal efforts to make Zeo function better. C. A large quantity of Zeo devices have been sold in Australia. D. Consumers can go to the Zeo company to purchase Zeo in person.DThe kindly “Chinese Fortune Grandpa” wearing Han Chinese clothing and holding a fortune bag debuted （亮相） at the Imperial Ancestral Shrine in Beijing on the day after Christmas. The final image of the Chinese gift-giver was selected through a global design competition against “Santa Claus”, according to a report by Guangming Daily. Many Chinese cities have been filled with Christmas neon lights, Christmas songs, Christmas trees, and the images of “Santa Claus” in recent days. As a matter of fact, foreign festivals are becoming more popular than certain traditional Chinese festivals among the Chinese people, particularly the youth. “Certain traditional festivals have died out because people have forgotten their spiritual meanings, ”said noted writer Feng Jicai. More and more Chinese people are beginning to exchange gifts on Valentines Day and Christmas. However, many of them know nothing about Chinese New Year pictures or sugarcoated figurines（小糖人）, and have never heard suona music. Certain folk customs on the Dragon Boat Festival, Tomb Sweeping Day, and other traditional festivals have gradually disappeared. Under such circumstances（环境）, even the “Chinese Fortune Grandpa” is unlikely to defeat “Santa Claus”. However, it is not a bad thing to some extent. It constantly reminds people to restore the “true face” of traditional festivals. China has listed traditional Tomb Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival as legal holidays, which brings more paid leaves to the public, and helps to awake the public awareness of traditional festivals. In modern society, festival is a carrier of culture and its meaning largely depends on their understandings and usages by people. Compared with foreign festivals, traditional Chinese festivals are not inferior （次于） in cultural meanings, but lack of fashion sought by modern people. If people do not appreciate the historical culture contained by traditional festivals, and only take pleasure-seeking as the most important, the significance of traditional festivals will fade away and the inheritance （继承） of fine traditional culture will be cut off. 32. The second paragraph implies that _.A. traditional festivals should co-exist with foreign festivalsB. all the Chinese festivals are disappearing in the near futureC. western festivals are constantly impacting on our festivalsD. the Chinese people have the public awareness of traditional festivals33. We can learn from the passage that _.A. an image designed by the Chinese people will be displayedB. the Chinese gift-giver was intended to symbolize traditional cultureC. many foreigners know nothing about Chinese festivalsD. the Chinese are beginning to exchange gifts on the Mid-Autumn Festival34. Many Chinese youth dislike traditional festivals because they think _.A. traditional festivals are out of fashion nowB. the historical culture is more difficult to understandC. western festivals contain more cultural meaningsD. the inheritance will cut off their contact with western festivals35. What would be the best title of the passage?A. Gone are Chinese Traditional FestivalsB. True Face of Chinese Traditional CultureC. Foreign Festivals Popular with ChineseD. Chinese Fortune Grandpa VS.
