and youre still awake and staring at the clock. you cant sleep, and youve already tried all the familiar tricks taken a warm bath, drunk a glass of heated milk, tried counting sheep, and read a book all with no success. if you are such a sufferer, remember youre not alone. experts said that one in every four americans have trouble falling or staying asleep. lack of sleep can hurt your quality of life in so many ways. short temper, impatience, poor decision-making, and mood swings are common among those with sleeping problems. besides, relationships with family, friends, and co-workers may suffer as a result. improper sleep can also put your safety at risk by reducing your awareness. when youre awake in the middle of the night, you can start to feel desperate for a way out. however, it makes sense to weigh the available treatments before choosing the one thats right for you. other sleep aids may seem like a quick fix, but it turns out that there are many disadvantages of these drugs. for one thing, they may require expensive, time-consuming trips to your physician. they may also be habit-forming or have unpleasant side effects like dizziness（眩晕）, dry mouth, and next-day sleepiness. plus, they become less effective over time. so what is the best sleep aid available on the market today? the answer is somnapure, a product that represents nature and science coming

just lay in our houses without any purpose. every day dozens of new cell phone models appeared. today, you can find what was regarded as a fantasy yesterday in a store and you will buy it tomorrow.

climate change and great changes in sea temperatures. while ocean warming has been the primary focus for scientists and ocean policy managers, cold events can also whiten corals. a new study by scientists compared damage to corals exposed to heat as well as cold stress. the results show that cool temperatures can cause more damage in the short term, but heat is more destructive (破坏性的) in the long run. climate change is widely known to produce warming conditions in the oceans, but extreme cold-water events have become more frequent and serious as well. in 2010, for example, coral reefs around the world faced one of the coldest winters and one of the hottest summers on record.during a unique experiment, corals under cold temperatures suffered greater damage in just days compared with heat treated corals. yet the researchers found that corals were eventually able to adjust to the cold conditions, make their health stable and continue to grow. however, over the long term corals subjected to heat suffered more greatly than those in cold, with evidence of severe whitening and growth stoppage, which leads to death.the corals ability to adjust to cool temperatures surprised the researchers, who say the studys results show the complexities (复杂性) of monitoring coral health in response to different environmental factors (因素).“global warming is associated with increases but also decreases of temperatures,” said deheyn, one of the researchers. “not much has been known about the comparative effects of temperature decrease on corals. these results are important because they show that corals react differently to temperature differences, which is important for future management of coral reefs in the field of climate change.”68. we can learn from the passage that_.a. scientists used to pay no attention to the effect of cold events on coralsb. 2010 witnessed one of the greatest temperature differences on recordc. corals prefer warmer conditions to cold temperature in the long run d. global warming has nothing to do with the decrease of temperature.69. according to the research, _.a. corals may continue to grow in cold events after a few daysb. cold events help corals grow more quickly in a short timec. corals shows no response to hot temperatures in the first daysd. corals are whitened mainly because of warm temperatures70. scientists reached the conclusion through_.a. news report b. scientific study c. great imagination d. natural conditions第二节：阅读下列材料, 从所给的六个选项（a、b、c、d、e 和 f）中, 选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余选项。a. prepare for rainy days b. watch your spendingc. get
