( )56the author argues in the first paragraph that _.awords will never hurt us at allbpositive effects last longer than negative effectscwords have lasting effects on usdnegative words last longer than positive effects( )57why should we not feel embarrassed when talking to ourselves?atalking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health.bit does harm to have “self-talk” when we are

better to think twice before talking to others.cwords always possess long positive effects.dkind words are sometimes not needed at all. b most kids get bored with their toys quickly, even the newest ones.the service of renting toys can save parents from buying lots of new toys for their kids. the new web-based company, baby plays, was invented by lori pope, a mother of twin boys. when her kids toys started taking over all the floor space in her house, she thought that maybe she didnt need to buy so many toys. whats more, her kids seemed to lose interest in each new toy very quickly. finally she realized that she needed a special service. she wanted to borrow one toy at a time. when her kids didnt like it any more she could send the toy back. but she couldnt find any service like that, so she decided to create her own. pope owned a company before. she poured a lot of money into baby plays to buy all the best toys. these toys are for children aged from 0 to 5. under her plan, customers can rent six toys each month. the price for renting a new toy is less than most costs of buying a new toy. generally, families will keep each toy for one month. this period is plenty for most kids to get tired of playing with it. if the kids are really interested in a particular toy, they can keep it till they are attracted to a new one. kids are not good at keeping their toys in perfect condition, but pope doesnt mind a little wear and tear. she thinks that even if the kids dont care about their toys condition, the parents do. and she will not ever rent anyone a low-quality toy.( )60. why did the mother invent a rent-a-toy company?a. because she got bored with her toys quickly.b. because she wanted to make money.c. because she was interested in starting a web business. d.

after a few weeks of too little shuteye may feel refreshing, but it can give a false sense of security.new research shows long-term sleep loss cannot be cured that easily. scientists researched the effects of short- and long-term sleep loss and found that those who suffer long-term sleep loss may function normally soon after waking up, but experience steadily slower reaction times as the day goes by, even if they had tried to catch up the previous night.the research has important safety significances in an increasingly busy society, not just for shift-workers but for the roughly one in six americans who regularly get six hours or less of sleep a night.“we know that staying awake 24 hours without sleep will affect your performance to do all sorts of things, and this effect equals to drinking too much when driving,” said lead researcher dr. daniel cohen of bostons brigham and womens hospital. but when those who suffer long-term sleep loss become all-nighters, “the harm is increased ten times,” cohen said.the national institutes of health says adults need seven hours to nine hours of sleep for good health. regularly getting too little sleep increases the risk of health problems, including memory impairment and a weakened immune system. more immediately, too little sleep affects reaction times; sleepiness is to blame for car crashes and other accidents.it has critically important complicated and unexpected results for anyone who works “crazy hours” and thinks they are performing fine with a few hours of weeknight sleep, said harris, director at new yorks montefiore medical center. “dont think you can just bank up your sleep on the weekend, because it doesnt work that way,” he warned.( )67. people with long-term sleep loss _.a. are quicker in
