21、Time for Kids (TFK) gets the great news on the coolest toys for 2014 at the 111th American International Toy Fair.
What’s four days long, bigger than seven football fields, and filled with thousands of toys? It’s Toy Fair 2014!
Each year, hundreds of toy companies from across the country come together in New York City. All kinds of products are shown as a way to know what’s to come in the new year. This year’s trends (款式) include oversize toys. “In 2014, everything is really big and really out there,” says Adrienne Appell, a toy-trends expert.
Toy Fair is the largest toy trade show in the Western Hemisphere (西半球). Toy-store buyers go to the event to decide which toys they may want to sell during the holiday season. Members of the media, like TFK, go to the fair to report back on all the cool trends. Unfortunately, Toy Fair is not open to the public.
This year’s Toy Fair was the biggest in its 111-year history. More than 1,000 toy companies showed products from simple card games to high-tech robots. “Larger Than Life” was a Toy Fair favorite. This trend is all about big toys with a big play value.
Though it is all fun and games at Toy Fair, we saw lots of products making a push towards education, with STEAM. That stands for science, technology, engineering, art, and math. This trend includes word games. And of course, we saw some super cool, high-tech games. “Technology is always going to influence toys,” says Appell. “This year we saw lots of 3D games, and robots.”

22、What’s wrong with being an amateur? While reading a recently published report saying “many people who attend plays are themselves involved in a form of amateur drama”, August Schulenburg of the Flux Theatre Ensemble questioned the divide between amateurs and professional artists.
One reason for the barrier, he suggests, is fear. “When professional arts organizations perceive their value under threat, they must draw rigid lines to protect it. Amateurs are pushed aside out of fear that they will somehow endanger the professional brands.”
But for Schulenburg, it’s an outmoded attitude towards amateurs. “The professional artist must be among them and of them; the amateur must be an equal partner at the table.” It sounds a lot like he is advocating the kind of large-scale community work. If so, he might have a point.
The importance of forming a community rather than a passive audience is something Douglas MacLennan also picked up on recently over a blog. In a post headlined “Pay attention! If selling tickets is your business model, you’ve got a problem”, he argues that theatres and other arts institutions will only survive if they “build community rather than audience”. The idea is that you give the public reasons to engage with your company, you build loyalty so that their support is more than just a consumer transaction (交易). Abigail Katz, a regular theater-goer, wonders whether theatres offer good value for money. She has written recently in a post at the Playgoer blog that much of the theatre “doesn’t do anything … doesn’t make me feel anything”.
Lynn Conner, one author of the report, also mentioned “I believe what today’s potential arts audiences most want out of an arts event is the opportunity to co-author meaning. They don’t want the arts; they want the experience. They want to gain the cultural rights by forming and exchanging opinions that are valued in the community.”
【1】What do the two underlined pronouns “they” respectively refer to?
A．rigid lines; professional brands
B．amateurs; professional arts organizations
C．professional brands; rigid lines
D．professional arts organizations; amateurs
【2】Which of the following does August Schulenburg agree with?
A．Rigid lines must be drawn to protect professional arts.
B．It is unwise for theatres to overlook amateur audience.
C．Theatres must produce serious plays to attract the audience.
D．The artists should dine together with the amateurs at the table.
【3】In paragraph 4, the words of Abigail Katz are cited __________.
A．to highlight the necessity of surveying customers’ feelings
B．to emphasize the importance of advertising through blogs
C．to indicate the failure of theatres to engage the audience
D．to complain about the high price of the theatre plays
【4】According to this passage, theatres should put ____________ first.
A．the audience’s sense of participation
B．the quality of professional plays
C．the actors’ personal experiences
D．the control of cultural rights
23、Is there anything worse than desperately needing sleep and not being able to get it? It is not just a matter of feeling tired. 【1】 . The silent sleep-loss epidemic is the greatest public health challenge we face in the 21st century. Fortunately, science has begun solving sleep’s mysteries. We’ve compiled many of the ideas here. Our prescription: Read it and sleep.
Don’t Go Towards the Light.
【2】. Our brains react to the blue light emitted by computers, smartphones and even LED bulbs much as they do to daylight – as a signal to reduce melatonin production and stay alert. If you can’t avoid screens in the two or three hours before you head to bed, try wearing amber-tinted glasses. It shows that those who wear blue light -blocking glasses before bedtime sleep 30 minutes more at night. You can find them online for less than $40.
Meditate
Besides decreasing the anxiety that can keep you from falling asleep, meditation may actually help your brain in much the same way sleep does. In a small 2010 study, research found that people improved their sleep after only 40 minutes of meditation, while people who meditated for several hours a day appeared to need less sleep than non-meditators. The researchers’ theory is that in both meditation and non-REM sleep, neurons in the brain fire in a more synchronous pattern than they do during waking hours. 【3】.
Check for the serious cause
In obstructive sleep apnea, the muscles in the back of the throat relax too much, blocking breathing. 【4】. When left untreated, sleep apnea can strain the cardiovascular system and raise the chances of developing heart problems. If you think you may be at risk, ask your doctor about taking a home sleep test. Your doctor also may suggest a deep-breathing practice, losing weight, quitting smoking or training yourself to sleep on your side. A dentist can fit you with an oral appliance that relieves the problem by bringing your jaw forward. 【5】.
A．That is because this synchronicity may reset neurons and reduce information overload.
B．All seem like small sacrifices to give you a full night’s sleep for a change.
C．Tapping on your phone or laptop right up until bedtime is definitely a bad way.
D．One common treatment for this disorder is a continuous positive airway pressure machine, which uses a hose and mask to deliver constant air pressure.
E．This causes drops in blood-oxygen levels—a common sleep disrupter and potentially a dangerous one.
F．Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia helps you identify and address the root of your problem.
G．Over the long run, sleep deprivation can contribute to depression, obesity, diabetes, stroke and cancer.
24、 What if you could take your drawing pen and simply scan any color you want and then turn around and draw with it? This new pen design allows you to do that. That is Scribble. And it’s very easy to use.
·How does Scribble work?
The built-in RGB sensor (传感器) lets you easily get any color — simply point it at an object and press the button! Red, green and blue inks are then mixed — much like in a traditional printer — to create your desired color.

The Scribble Stylus Pen comes with two different tips — hard tip and soft tip. It works on more than just paper; it can be used for drawing or writing on your mobile device.
·Rechargeable battery
Scribble’s battery is rechargeable and lightweight. The Scribble Pen’s battery lasts seven hours. And the Scribble Stylus Pen’s battery lasts as long as 15 hours.
·Price
The regular price of a Scribble Pen is US$400. Now, you can have it at 40% off the regular price. And you can have a Scribble Stylus Pen at US$119 (save US$80). You also need to pay US$15 for postage. Remember to choose the color you want. At present, we offer five colors for you to choose from. If you are an artist, you really need a pen like this.
