21、 Millions of people are familiar with if -snoring(打鼾). The number one annoyance in the bedroom at night. About one i two men and one in four women of middle age or older snores in their sleep. Previously dismissed as just an annoying disturbance of the peace, snoring is now recognized as a serious sleep and health disorder. These nightly problems in sleep can even be life-threatening!
When snoring, loud breathing noises occur in the upper airways during sleep, as loud as a passing truck. That' s the sound many people fall asleep to, Men over 50 years old, especially snore. As many as 60 to 80 Percent in this age group are affected.
Now there's a revolutionary helper that immediately improves nasal( 鼻的)breathing and can thereby prevent snoring. It is called the SilentSnore, and its the first small and easy-to-use device for combating bothersome snoring noises. Tens of thousands of people have already used this little wonder to sleep better and more peacefully at night. And indeed-snoring can easily be combated with this method!
The SilentSnore gently widens the nostril(鼻孔) to reduce respiratory(呼吸系统) resistance in the nose in other words, air can flow better into the lungs through the nose. As soon as the body registers that nasal breathing is working without restriction again, it unconsciously switches to (much healthier)nasal breathing. In contrast to things like chinstraps, SilentSnore docs not disturb you while you sleep.
This ingenious little device controls snoring when sleeping without interfering the normal sleep cycle. A normal and healthy sleep cycle should include at least 25% at deep sleep, by relieving snoring effectively, stop disturbing your sleeping partner immediately, and/ guarantee your body rest and regenerate well. You can place your order online through the official website in China. Your SilentSnore will be delivered to your doorstep.

23、 Mr. Buxton taught me Shakespeare in 10th grade. We were reading Macbeth. Mr. Buxton, who probably had better things to do, nonetheless agreed to meet one night to go over the text line by line. The first thing he did was point out the repetition of themes. For example, the reversals of things.
What Mr. Buxton didn’t tell me was what the play meant. He left the conclusions to me. The situation was much the same with my religious studies teacher in 11th grade, Mr. Flanders, who encouraged me to have my own relationship with the Gospels.
High school was followed by college, where I read Umberto Eco’s The Role of the Reader, in which it is said that the reader completes the text, that the text is never finished until it meets this voracious (渴求的) and engaged reader. The open texts, Eco calls them. In college, I read some of the great Europeans and Latin Americans: Borges and Kafka, Genet and Beckett, Artaud, Proust-open texts all. I may not have known why Kafka’s Metamorphosis is about a guy who turns into a bug: but I knew that some said cockroach, and others, European dung beetle.
There are those critics, of course, who insist that there are right ways and wrong ways to read every book. No doubt they arrived at these beliefs through their own adventures in the stacks. And these are important questions for philosophers of every stripe. And yet I know only what joy and enthusiasm about reading have taught me, in bookstores new and used.
There is not now and never will be an authority who can tell me how to interpret, how to read, how to find the pearl of literary meaning in all cases.
Supposing the truth is not hard, fast, masculine, simple, direct? You could spend a lifetime thinking about this sentence ,and making it your own. In just this way, the freedom to see literature,history, truth unfolding ahead of me like a book whose spine has just now been cracked.
【1】When did the author begin to read Shakespeare’s work?.
A.In primary school. B.In 11th grade.
C.In secondary school. D.In college.
【2】What can we know about The Role of the Reader from the text?
A.It w as written by the readers.
B.It is about a guy turning into a bug.
C.It insists that the reader completes the text.
D.Some great Europeans and Latin Americans wrote it together.
【3】What is the main reason of the author loving reading?
A.Being an excellent student.
B.Mr. Buxton’s teaching method.
C.The joy and enthusiasm from his reading.
D.His admiration for literature masters like Shakespeare.
【4】What can be inferred about the author from the text?

25、 I was ready to pay for my bananas at the grocery one night, when fear seized me. My wallet was gone. I could only have left it on the G9 bus, which was now speeding in the dark to some unknown station.
The _________ moment was quickly followed by mental math. How much time and money would it cost to replace the contents of that little wallet? The credit cards, the driver’s license, the cash, all lost to the bus.
Two hours later, back at my house, I heard a knock on the door. My husband _________ it while I was on the phone in the dining room. "Does Jennifer live here?" I heard a lady say. In my husband’s hand was my wallet, with not a penny _________. She left before I could _________ make it to the door to offer my thanks.
After sharing the story online, I heard from someone, who identified the lady as Erin Smith. Without _________, I called to thank her. She said she _________ my wallet on a bus seat. She calculated that going to a stranger’s house was a risky move, but she decided to take the chance. "If I were in that situation, I would want someone to try to find me," she said.
This one stranger responded beautifully to my small _________, but she actually wasn’t the only one. Right after Erin took possession of my wallet on the bus, she posted a picture of my driver’s license to an online forum(论坛), trying to see _________ anyone knew me.
