Lying awake for hours before falling asleep is a common problem. Even if you can finally fall asleep, taking too long to fall asleep can lead to too few hours of sleep altogether. So people having trouble falling asleep always wonder how they can sleep well.
Parents know from experience that gentle music can help babies fall asleep. Science supports this, showing that children of all ages, from babies to elementary school children, sleep better after listening to comfortable music. Fortunately, children aren't the only ones who can benefit from gentle music before bedtime.
Listening to music likely improves sleep for more than one reason. Music can promote sleep directly by affecting your physiology (生理机能). Besides, it can also promote sleep by becoming a healthy bedtime habit. Many people can't fall asleep quickly because stressful and worrying thoughts keep them awake at night. By listening to music, the mind has something else to focus on. With time, the practice of listening to music at bedtime becomes more effective as the brain positively associates music with sleep.
Studies have looked at many types of music and playlists but there isn't a clear answer about the best music for sleep. What we do know is that researchers have typically used either a self-made playlist or one that has been designed especially with sleep in mind. One of the most important things on how music affects a person's body is their own musical preferences. For those who don't want to design their own playlist, online music services have stepped in and usually offer playlists for sleep or relaxation.
A.It can guarantee sufficient sleep.
B.It's natural to wonder about the best type of music for sleep.
C.The quality and quantity of our sleep become poor as we age.
D.Listening to music can reduce your stress and inspire positive feelings.
E.This can have a serious effect on a person's quality of life if it continues.
F.People across age groups report better sleep quality after listening to soft music.
G.Useful personal playlists may include relaxing songs that have helped with sleep in the past.

Damian Stefaniuk and his colleagues at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a novel energy storage device—a supercapacitor— using three basic, inexpensive materials: water, cement, and a soot (煤灰), which can carry electricity.
Supercapacitors are highly efficient at storing energy but differ from batteries in some important ways. They can charge much more quickly than a lithium (锂) battery and don't experience the same level of performance decline over time. But supercapacitors also release the power they store rapidly, making them less useful in devices such as mobile phones, laptops or electric cars where a steady supply of energy is needed over an extended period of time.
Yet according to Stefaniuk, these supercapacitors could make an important contribution to efforts to reduce carbon emissions and make the global economy more environmentally friendly. "If it can be scaled up, the technology can help solve an important issue— the storing of renewable energy," he says.
He and his fellow researchers at MIT envision several applications for their supercapacitors. One might be to create roads that store solar energy and then release it to recharge electric cars wirelessly as they drive along a road. The rapid release of energy from the supercapacitors would allow vehicles to get a rapid boost to their batteries. Another application would be using supercapacitors in the foundations or walls of houses, so that these parts of the house not only support the structure but also store energy.
"But it's still early stages. Right now, the supercapacitor made from building materials can only store just under 300 watt-hours per cubic meter, enough to power a 10-watt LED light for 30 hours. The power might seem low compared to regular batteries, but a foundation made from 30-40 cubic meters of this material could meet the daily energy needs of a house," says Stefaniuk. "Since this material is used so widely around the world, it has the potential to be very competitive and useful for energy storage."
(1)、 What might be an advantage of supercapacitors?A、They require little care. B、They are lighter in design. C、They release power in a stable manner. D、They continue to work effectively over time.(2)、 How does the author highlight the application of supercapacitors?A、By providing examples. B、By giving instructions.C By making comparisons.D. By presenting cause and effect.(3)、 Which of the following can be inferred about the supercapacitor technology?A、It is still developing and has great potential. B、It will be limited to small-scale applications. C、It is efficient enough to help replace batteries. D、It will become widely used in everyday devices.(4)、 What is the purpose of this text?A、To present a difficult problem. B、To advocate a timely action. C、To introduce a possible solution. D、To explain a complex process. -

A casual walk along the Beijing Central Axis, connecting the Drum Tower and the impressive Forbidden City — this was Zhao's first city-walking journey in the spring of last year. Since then, the 21-year-old student from Beijing Foreign Studies University has remained a city-walk fan, believing it to be the best way to "rediscover a city".
"I visited Beijing before the start of my college life here, and it was a typical package tour during which going to scenic spots and taking photos was a big thing. The crowded tourist attractions gave me the impression that Beijing was a noisy place," Zhao said.
With the increasing variety of travel choices, traditional group tours no longer satisfy people who are looking for a more personal and different travel experience and hoping to explore every part of the city in a more immersive (沉浸式的) way.
Compared with tightly scheduled routes (路线) and picture-taking tours, city-walking focuses on free, casual and spontaneous (自发的) experiences. The trending city-walk culture, which encourages experiencing urban life with no transportation means except one's legs and feet, has also made splashes on various social media platforms.
On the video-sharing app Douyin, the Chinese version of Tik-Tok, a recent video about citywalk routes in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, has gained more than 171,000 likes, with 72,000 viewers of all ages adding the video to their favorites. According to a report from lifestyle-sharing platform Xiaohongshu, in the first half of this year, searches about city-walks increased 30-fold from the previous year. "The route offers a glimpse (瞥见) into the culture and landscape in different historical stages, as well as its beautiful natural scenery," it said.
Following his experience in Beijing, Zhao has also explored Wuhan in Hubei province, Hangzhou in Zhejiang province and other cities through city-walking tours. "City-walking is all about doing whatever you want in your own exploration of a city, and it is actually the kind of slow-paced, low-carbon lifestyle that I relate to so much," he said.
(1)、Why do Zhao call city-walking the best way to "rediscover a city"?A、The variety of travel choices is limited. B、Traditional group tour totally satisfies people's need. C、It is a more enjoyable and personal way to explore the city. D、Common tour wastes much time in taking pictures.(2)、What do we know about city-walk culture?A、It refers to a 30-minute walk on the video-sharing app Douyin. B、It encourages the experience of free urban life without transportation. C、It offers practical travel tips through social media platforms. D、It shows historical moments of life-sharing platform Xiaohongshu.(3)、What can we learn in the last but one paragraph?A、City-walk has gained popularity on the Internet. B、City-walk is only loved by young people. C、City-walk recommends the shortest route from one city to another. D、City-walk has both advantages and disadvantages.(4)、What is the best title of the passage?A、Walking Out from Home B、Culture of Walking Catching on in Cities C、A Popular Social Platform D、Going Free to Explore the World -

The idea of climbing Mt.Qomolangma disgusted me. The mountain came to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing. What had once been the final mountain climbing goal became the focus of a commercial guiding industry. Over the years, the crowds at Base Camp grew, leaving behind tons of trash. Whenever I was asked whether I'd climb Mt. Qomolangma, my answer was always the same: not interested.
That was probably where my personal Mt. Qomolangma story would have ended, were it not for an old friend Thom Pollard and his obsession (迷恋) with one of the greatest mysteries. In 1999, he began to explore and found the remains of George Mallory, the celebrated British climber who disappeared while he was attempting to be the first to climb Mt. Qomolangma. But Mallory's partner, Sandy Irvine, and the camera he had likely carried, were not found. The mountain climbing world has been wondering whether they might have reached the top in 1924.
Pollard's story moved me. I began to pack for the climb and expected that our advanced equipment would make it manageable, perhaps easy. I was wrong. On the highest point on the planet, I was more tired than I'd ever been in any climbing. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory and Irvine but to anyone who has the drive to push himself or herself up this route. My search was in vain, but I began to reconsider Mt. Qomolangma.
I witnessed many climbers, who were much more than just self-centered tourists. We shared route information, weather forecasts, and family photos — all united around a common goal.
I went to Mt. Qomolangma to seek Irvine. But in the end, I found something more difficult to get: the spirit that Irvine and Mallory shared. It was hiding in plain sight, right where it has always been: inside the brave souls who risk so much to follow in storied adventurers' footsteps up Mt. Qomolangma.
(1)、 Why did the author once hate climbing Mt. Qomolangma?A、Because the mountain was overcrowded. B、Because his original climbing goal changed. C、Because climbing it became a profit-driven industry. D、Because he had to brave the elements on the mountain.(2)、 What motivated the author to climb Mt. Qomolangma later?A、The influence of Thom Pollard. B、The results of the previous climbing. C、The development of advanced equipment. D、The spirit of George Mallory and Sandy Irvine.(3)、 What does the underlined phrase "tipped my hat" in paragraph 3 mean?A、Relieved my tiredness. B、Showed my respect. C、Expressed my gratitude. D、Proved my determination.(4)、What message does the passage mainly convey?A、The search for missing adventurers holds great value. B、Modern climbing lacks respect for the natural environment. C、Spirits of the climbers of Mt. Qomolangma are worth respect. D、Experienced climbers are qualified to conquer Mt. Qomolangma. -

You must have heard of "city bu city"(meaning city or not city), an internet buzzword(流行语)created by foreign blogger Baobaoxiong. It's used to ask if a place feels like a big, fashionable city.
Millions of foreigners like Baobaoxiong are visiting China and posting their travel videos. The visa-free transit policy(过境免签政策) plays an important role in this trend(潮流). Travelers from 54 countries can stay in China for up to six days without a visa as long as they have a travel document(文件)and a connecting ticket(联运机票) to leave.
The visa-free transit policy started in 2013. Back then, it allowed travelers to stay for 72hours in seven different big cities in China. Now, travelers can stay for 144 hours in 41 places across provincial areas. It has attracted more travelers to China. In the first three months of this year, 266 percent more foreigners came to China through visa-free policies compared with the same period last year, according to the National Immigration Administration of China(国家移民管理局).

"This is the whole reason why we decided to come to China. We want to see exactly what it's like by ourselves, " said Irish YouTuber Luke in his online video. He thought Chengdu was fun believably good, beautiful and modern", totally different from what ho had heard about China from Western media.
Yuyuantantian, a new media account(账号) under China Media Group, looked at 100 China travel videos made by foreigners. It found foreigners used to visit famous spots like the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. But now they prefer experiencing everyday activities like shopping at markets, riding shared bikes and joining square dancing in parks. These activities give foreigners a closer look at everyday life in China, said Yuyuantantian.

My phone rang. It was a text from an unfamiliar number, showing a photo of a smiling man in his 30s. "What a strange picture to receive!" I thought to myself.
For the past three years, I have been getting texts meant for this man, Jared. When the second text came, I was a playful sixth grader.
"My Mom just told me that the Football Club will host a free barbeque dinner on Saturday! Hope you all will enjoy it, " it said.
"YUMMMY!" I carefully responded.
The story of Jared became deeper. I learned that he was part of the" Bowery Mission, " which sounded like a gaming group. Looking it up, I realized it was an organization that helped poor families. This was around the same time I stopped volunteering in my community. I spent more time taking art classes and trying different sports. I then joined the group texts. When a message came about donating food, I texted back, "Count me in!"
However, I started to feel bad about this lie. A man sent a long message, talking about the hopeless moments in his life. As I imagined what a good friend Jared could be, I felt ashamed that I was unable to provide the support this man needed and realized that I was not even a good listener to my own friends.
Throughout this time, I noticed how much Jared's life has changed and I have also been discovering who I am. Learning from Jared, I have grown out of the naughty self, made more efforts tor my community, and become a more understanding friend. Last month, I received another text. Yet, I replied:" Hey, sorry, this is-not Jared, but I hope he is doing well. "

When I was a little girl, I was crazy about snow and winter was my favorite season. I still remember playing with my friends and family with the snow falling all around. I loved to watch the snowflakes flying in all directions.
There was a strong desire inside me that I was eager to have my own snow as a special gift on my birthday. To my great disappointment, the snow disappeared before my birthday and started after it. I was completely mad. I just hungered for my birthday snow. I asked my beloved grandmother why it didn't snow on my birthday over and over again. She laughed, telling me I had asked the same question for too many times. At the same time she promised that she would make it snow when I was enjoying life to the fullest and we agreed to keep it our secret. When I begged her for my next birthday snow with eagerness, she just patted me on the shoulder gently, not giving a definite reply.
That cold winter, before my birthday, my grandmother died. I was deeply sad, but a bit angry because she had promised me to make it snow. The day of my tenth birthday, I wok e up and ran to my window, hoping to see just one snowflake. No luck. I cried and cried, thinking about my grandmother and the dream promise. There were still friends, gifts and a big dinner; there was still no snow. What's worse, there was no my beloved grandmother.
I would pray for my birthday snow in the following years, but it never came. Never!
By my sixteenth birthday, I had lost all hope of getting my snow, even though I still wished for it. During my party, I had the best time ever! I enjoyed the company of my friends and family, and I was truly happy.

Never back away from learning
. Develop a thirst for knowledge. Take new classes, read now books, listen to educational podcasts (播客), and the list goes on and on. If something confuses you, surf the Internet and clear out your problems. All of these activities will strengthen your critical- thinking skills. Meet new people
Limiting yourself to only one type of people who share the same ideology (意识形态) as you can be comforting but it doesn't get you anywhere. . Share what defines you and learn from others, and this will make you wise: Cultivate new friendships and this will be extremely beneficial to your future.
A.It is a good quality to have
B.You have wisdom in yourself
C.Open yourself to diverse viewpoints
D.This will open up new pathways for you
E.In order to survive in it, you need to bè wise
F.You must be the person who learns something new every day
G.You need to know different people and learn what they have to offer

A recent study has found that using wood for construction instead of concrete (混凝土) and steel can reduce emissions (排放). But Tim Searchinger at Princeton University says many of these studies are based on the false foundation that harvesting wood is carbon neutral (碳中和). "Only a small percentage of the wood gets into a timber (木料) product, and a part of that gets into a timber product that can replace concrete and steel in a building," he says. Efficiencies vary in different countries, but large amounts of a harvested tree are left to be divided into parts, used in short-lived products like paper or burned for energy, all of which generate emissions.
In a report for the World Resources Institute, Searchinger and his colleagues have modelled (塑造) how using more wood for construction would affect emissions between 2010 and 2050, accounting for the emissions from harvesting the wood. They considered various types of forests and parts of wood going towards construction. They also factored in the emissions savings from replacing concrete and steel.
Under some circumstances, the researchers found significant emissions reductions. But each case required what they considered an unrealistically high portion (份额) of the wood going towards construction, as well as rapid growth only seen in warmer places, like Brazil. In general, they found a large increase in global demand for wood would probably lead to rising emissions for decades. Accounting for emissions in this way, the researchers reported in a related paper that increasing forest harvests between 2010 and 2050 would add emissions equal to roughly 10 percent of total annual emissions.
Ali Amiri at Aalto University in Finland says the report's conclusions about emissions from rising demand are probably correct, but the story is different for wood we already harvest. "Boosting the efficiency of current harvests and using more wood for longer lived purposes than paper would cut emissions," he says. "We cannot just say we should stop using wood."

In 2009, Kevin Pearce was at the height of his professional snowboarding career and bound for the Winter Olympics. But in an instant, it came to an end. During training, he struck his head on the edge of a pipe, resulting in a traumatic (创伤的) brain injury. It changed the course of the then-22-year-old's life.
He had to relearn how to walk and talk and essentially start over. His older brother Adam quit his job and moved across the country to help him through rehab.
He eventually started doing yoga, and his family saw how it transformed him and gave him a sense of hope: "It was the first time I remember so clearly coming out of a class with him and just seeing in his face this new expression, this new person." Adam Pearce said, "We were like, ‘We need to figure out why and how that just happened.'"
Wanting to bring hope and healing to others through yoga and meditation (冥想). Adain and Kevin co-founded the Love YourBrain Foundation in 2014. The nonprofit offers week-long meditations and community-based yoga classes across the United States for people who are living with long-term brain-related disabilities. "I think people feel isolated after brain injury because they don't feel able, and when you don't feel able, you generally retreat back inside." Adam said, "At these retreats, people are given the space to lean into those deep challenges and express them and talk about them."
Ultimately, the organization aims to create a safe space and supportive community where people with brain-related disabilities can heal together. "Connection happens quickly because there's such a shared common understanding among the group." Adam said. "Once someone sees someone be vulnerable, it instantly allows the next person (to be). By the end, people start to see vulnerability as a superpower."
(1)、What prevented Kevin from career development?A、A severe brain cancer. B、A new training routine. C、A devastating accident. D、A snowboarding test..(2)、Why did Kevin start doing yoga?A、To pick up snowboarding. B、To regain respect. C、To recover from brain injury. D、To learn how to meditate.(3)、Which of the following best describes the Love YourBrain Foundation?A、Costly. B、Ambitious. C、Diverse. D、Healing.(4)、What section of the website might the text be found?A、Nature and universe. B、Social innovations. C、Technological discoveries. D、The magical world.
