This is just part of what makes her great, though.She is my best friend and can immediately notice when I am unhappy. She helps me solve problems that my friends do not understand.

But now a study has found it really does help people nod offif it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素),which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.28.

Here are some amusing stories about him.When he arrived in New York to be a professor at Princeton University, Einstein felt stressed about visitors and newsmen. So his friends took him off the ship secretly before it docked (靠上码头) and hurried him away by car.Einstein said that only twelve people at that time understood his Theory of Relativity (相对论),although more than nine hundred books had been written to explain it.Mrs. Einstein admitted that even she did not understand the Theory of Relativity; but she understood something far more important for a wife; she understood her husband.She used to invite some friends in for tea and then she would ask her husband to come downstairs and join them.“No!” Einstein would say with anger. He simply couldnt stand those “interruptions (打扰)”.But Mrs. Einstein persuaded her husband with great patience and had him drink tea with them and take a good rest.Mrs. Einstein said that her husband liked order in his thinking, but he didnt like it in his life. He did whatever he wanted to.Einstein had only two rules of conduct (行为准则):one was “Dont be restrained (限制) by any rule”, and the other was “Be independent from the opinions of others”.Einstein led a very simple life. When he went out, he was always in old clothes, and seldom did he wear a hat. He liked to whistle and sing in the bathroom.He shaved with the same soap as he used for his bath. It seems strange that the great scientist trying to solve the mysteries of the universe should consider that using two pieces of soap made life too complicated.Einstein said he was happy because he didnt want money or titles or foolish praises. He made his own happiness out of such simple things as playing the violin and sailing his boat.Einsteins violin brought him more joy than anything else in his life. He said he often thought in music and made his day-dreams in music.32.Albert Einstein was taken off the ship secretly by his friends because .A. he dared not see anyone B. he didnt want to meet visitors and reportersC. he wanted to save the time D. he was afraid of being stopped by someone33.Usually Einstein would refuse to join some friends, for .A. he couldnt stand being disturbed B. he was ashamed to meet friendsC. he disliked making friends D. he was angry with his friends34.Why did he shave with the same soap as he used for his bath?A. It was his special habit of shaving. B. He was lazy.C. He wanted to be an independent man. D. He didnt want life to be complicated.35.What do you think of Einstein?A. He was a strange scientist. B. He liked order in his life.C. He was a simple man with great achievements. D. He didnt like order in his work.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Each New Year, we wish others happiness and success.36 There are severala smile, freedom, the willingness to share and the confidence that you will get what you need in life.37 As you turn over the calendar, keep turning over your mind as well.
