the street , and an ambulance rushed him to the nearest hospital. there, when he came to now and again, the old man repeatedly called for his son. from a worn letter located in his pocket, an emergency-room (急救室) nurse learned that his son was a sailor stationed in north carolina camp. obviously there were no other relatives. someone at the hospital called the red cross office in brooklyn, and a request for the son to rush to brooklyn was sent. because time was shortthe patient was dying, so they found the young man and rushed him to the airport in time to catch the only plane that night enable him to reach his dying father. it was dusk when the nurse took the tired, anxious sailor to the bedside. “your son is here,” she said to the old man. she had to repeat the words several times before the patients eyes opened. the medicine he had been given because of the pain from his heart attack made his eyes weak and only saw the young man in uniform(制服 ) standing outside the oxygen tent. he extended his hand. the sailor wrapped his strong fingers around the old mans, releasing a message of love and encouragement. the nurse brought him a chair, so the sailor could sit by the bed. nights are long in hospitals, but all through the night the young sailor sat there, holding the old mans hand and offering words of hope and strength. it was nearly dawn when the patient died. the sailor placed his lifeless hand he had been holding on the bed, and went to inform the nurse.“who was the man?” the sailor asked.“he was your father.” the nurse answered surprisingly.“no, he wasnt,” the sailor replied.” i never saw him before in my life.”“why didnt you say something when i took you to him?” she asked.“i knew immediately thered been a mistake, but i also knew he needed his son, and his son just wasnt here. when i realized he was too sick to tell whether or not i was his son, i guessed he really needed me. so i stayed.” two days later a message came in that there had been two sailors with the same name and similar number in the camp. someone in the personnel office had pulled out the wrong record. but the wrong sailor had become the right son at the right time.

roommate kate was extremely organized. each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. she even labeled (贴标签 ) everything. i always looked for everything. over time, kate got neater and i got messier. she would push my dirty clothing over, and i would lay my books on her tidy desk. we both got tired of each other.war broke out one evening. kate came into the room. soon, i heard her screaming, take your shoes away! why under my bed! deafened, i saw my shoes flying at me. i jumped to my feet and started yelling. she yelled back louder.the room was filled with anger. we could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. kate answered it. from her end of the conversation, i could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. when she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬 ) under her covers, weeping. obviously, that was something she should not go through phone. all of a sudden ,a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart, slowly, i collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. i got so into my work that i even didnt noticed kate had sat up. she was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. i looked up into her eyes. she smiled at me. thanks. kate and i stayed roommates for the rest of the year. we didnt

basic human need, as basic as the need for oxygen. getting a good nights sleep is not only directly related to how we feel the next day, but to our long-term health as well. however, many of us suffer from insomnia (失眠). even more odf us report at least one night of restless sleep per week. this is a serious problem. well, how can we make sure that we rest well and stay healthy? here are some suggestions. if you cant sleep in the middle of the night, dont get up. the bright light will affect your body clock and worsen your insomnia. stay in bed! avoid short sleep during the day, except for a brief ten to fifteen-minute sleep between 2:00 and 4:00 p.m. limit your time in bed to the average number of hours you ve actually slept per night last week. dont try to make up for lost sleep. it cant be done. 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 our bedroom dark, quiet, and well ventilated (通风). keep a regular schedule seven days a week. avoid sleeping late on weekends. although it may feel good while youre doing it, sleeping late on weekend can lead to insomnia during the week. dont drink alcohol (酒精). although, having a drink before bed makes you sleep, alcohol loses its effects after a while. the secondary effects of alcohol can wake you up during the second half of your nights sleep. keep the face of the clock in your bedroom turned away, and dont find out what time it is when you awaken in the night.59. the first paragraph serves as a(n) _. a. comment b. argument c. explanation d. introduction60. which of the following is not advised for a good nights sleep? a. dont exercise six hours before sleeping. b. preventing the wind from blowing into your room. c. staying in bed after failing to sleep. d. dont drink alcohol before sleeping.61. to sleep well, you need to _. a. sleep during the day sometimes b. get up late on weekends c. avoid looking at your clock d. have a bath in the morning62. the text mainly about_ . a. some effects of bad nights sleep b. some advantages of having a good sleep c. some reasons for insomnia d. some keys to a better nights sleep d as a recipe for losing weight, taking a slice of chocolate cake at breakfast would seem an unlikely fantasy. a team from tel aviv university found that eating pudding as part of a balanced 600-calorie breakfast that also included proteins and carbohydrates (碳水化合物), could help dieter to lose more weight-and keep it off in the long run. attempting to avoid sweets entirely can create a psychological addiction to these same foods in the long term. so adding desserts to breakfast can control craving(渴望) throughout the rest of the day. over the course of a 32-week-long study, participants, who added desserts to their breakfast lost about 40 pounds more than a group that avoided such foods. whats more, they kept off the pounds longer. a meal in the morning provides energy for the days tasks, aids in brain functioning, and kick-starts the bodys metabolism (新陈代谢), making it decisive to weight loss and maintenance. and breakfast is the meal that most successfully regulates ghrelin, the hormone that increases longer. while the level of ghrelin rises before every meals, it is controlled most effectively at breakfast time. the researchers hoped to determine whether meal time and composition had an impact on weight loss in the short and long term, or whether it was a simple matter of the caloric count.63. according to the passage, the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 probably refers to _. a. the calorie b. the brea
