26、For some people, getting a good sleep is a challenge. Even if you were sleeping like a baby during the pandemic, you may now find yourself tossing and turning as anxious thoughts affect your ability to get a good sleep. 【1】 Fortunately, here are some tips which may help with your poor sleep.
Stick to a sleep schedule. You’d better go to bed and get up at the same time every day, even in holidays. This is beneficial to your body’s sleep-wake cycle. If you don’t fall asleep within about 20 minutes of going to bed, leave your bedroom and do something relaxing. 【2】 And then go back to bed when you’re tired.
【3】 Nowadays, it might be impossible to stop browsing headlines. If you’re suffering from insomnia (失眠), browsing headlines and social media before bed can make your sleep worse. Try setting one to two hours before you go to bed where you turn off your electronic devices to slow down for the night.
Don’t nap too long. If you like to take a nap every day, try limiting it to 10 or 15 minutes. 【4】 Napping too long or too often can have a negative effect on sleep patterns and cause sleep inertia (惯性).
Cut down on coffee. Coffee drinkers may find it harder to fall asleep than people who don’t drink coffee. Once they fall asleep, their sleep is shorter and lighter. For some, a single cup of coffee in the morning means a sleepless night as caffeine blocks the effects of a chemical which promotes sleep. 【5】
A．Cut screen time.
B．Turn your electronic devices up.
C．You can read or listen to some light music.
D．It means waking up to use the, restroom in the middle of the night.
E．That makes it easier to be energetic when you wake up.
F．If lack of sleep rules your nights, it can really mess up your days.
G．Therefore, those who have sleep problems should drink less coffee.

28、University students have three questions that can provide a gateway to a conversation with their new peers: “What do you study?”, “What year are you in?”, and “Where are you from?” The final question can be the most difficult for many like me. I was born in Switzerland, grew up in the United States, spent my teenage years in Denmark, and now study in Edinburgh in the UK. So, how do I reply to that question?
Living abroad, my family and I spent our summers in a small Danish town considered “home”. As a child, I only saw Denmark through rose-tinted glasses; summer was never-ending; I was surrounded by family, and I didn’t have school. This image changed when we moved from the United States to Copenhagen.
Our views about physical places change throughout our lives, as new memories are formed in the same locations.
When I came across the term third-culture kid, I realized this concept of feeling rootless is a more widespread phenomenon than I’d thought. A third-culture kid is someone who has spent their formative years in a country different from their parents’ homeland.
These children often form tighter bonds with their family, as everything else is uncertain while family is the only thing unchanged. These kids find it difficult to relate to their peers because of their different childhoods. Worldwide, most people spend their lives in the same country, if not the same town, as they were born in. This creates a sense of community and unity, which third-culture kids can often feel excluded (被排斥的) from.
The psychological walls many third-culture kids put up to protect themselves emotionally can be equally as frustrating for those around them as it is for themselves. Third-culture kids may not put effort into friendships and they might unintentionally neglect these friendships because they don’t believe they will last forever.
I was never fully aware of my unwilling to let people in until my new friends insisted on getting to know me. I found a true home in Edinburgh, unlike anything I’d known before. My familial home will always be Denmark, but Edinburgh is now the place where I finally feel like I belong.
【1】How did the author feel after she moved from the US to Copenhagen?
A．Confident.
B．Homesick.
C．Lost.
D．Relieved.
【2】Who could possibly be considered a third-culture “kid”?
A．A teenage boy who grew up in a third world country.
B．An American boy who was raised in different countries.
C．A Chinese kid who has traveled to more than two countries.
D．A girl who has accepted the mainstream culture in her country.
【3】Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word “neglect” in the 6th paragraph?
A．Guard against.
B．Draw on.
C．Care little about.
D．Make fun of.
【4】Where does the author feel a sense of belonging?
A．In Edinburgh.
B．In Denmark.
C．In the United States.
D．In Switzerland.
29、Nothing seems to brighten up a room faster than a bouquet of flowers. While bringing a touch of nature inside, fresh flowers make a room look and smell better. Perhaps that’s why people who are limited to hospital rooms appreciate flowers so much.
Larsen Jay experienced this for himself. After falling from a building in 2007, Jay was in the hospital for weeks. He faced numerous surgeries and began losing hope. Jay’s friends and family members, though, came to his rescue. They delivered fresh flowers each day and something wonderful happened. Jay’s mood began to improve, and he looked forward to the future with increased hope.
He soon realized that others around him weren’t receiving the same type of emotional support. This drove him to go from room to room, giving away his flowers. The results were amazing! He found that people’s misery quickly turned to happiness.
After leaving the hospital, Jay couldn’t forget the power of his flowers. Within six months, he came up with the idea for Random Acts of Flowers.
Random Acts of Flowers accepts donations of previously used flowers, often from weddings, and rearranges them. The flowers are then given to people in hospitals and nursing homes. In their first year, the organization served fewer than 100 people. But by 2018 they had given out close to 300,000 bouquets.
According to many studies, fresh flowers and plants can help with the healing process. A Harvard study found that flowers bring health benefits, including reduced stress. A different study found that patients with flowers had shorter hospital stays and lower levels of pain. A 2001 Rutgers study discovered that flowers help reduce depression. The University of Tennessee Medical Center did a study on Random Acts of Flowers in 2016. Almost 95 percent of the patients who had received flowers reported an improvement in their emotional condition.
Time spent in hospitals and nursing homes is no bed of roses. But groups like Random Acts of Flowers are making a difference. They give away fresh flowers to show kindness and promote healing.
【1】Why did Larsen Jay have to stay in hospital for a long time?
A．Because he got injured in an accident.
B．Because he wanted to cheer others up.
C．Because he had to look after other patients.
D．Because he needed to carry out operations.
【2】What inspired Jay to set up Random Acts of Flowers?
A．The frequency of his friends’ visit.
B．The flowers he gave out to others.
C．The changes of other patients when they got flowers.
D．The experiences of his own when he received flowers.
【3】How does the author organize Paragraph 6?
A．By listing statistics.
B．By making comparisons.
C．By quoting research results.
D．By analyzing cause and effect.
【4】What can we learn about Random Acts of Flowers
A．It is well received.
B．It cures the patients.
C．It needs more support.
D．It is highly profitable.
