4、 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
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.

Is forgiveness against our human nature? To answer our question, we need to ask a further question: What is the essence of our humanity? For the sake of simplicity, people consider two distinctly different views of humanity. The first view involves dominance and power. In an early paper on the psychology of forgiveness, Droll (1984) made the interesting claim that humans' essential nature is more aggressive than forgiving allows. Those who forgive are against their basic nature, much to their harm. In his opinion, forgivers are compromising their well-being as they offer mercy to others, who might then take advantage of them.
The second view involves the theme of cooperation, mutual respect, and even love as the basis of who we are as humans. Researchers find that to fully grow as human beings, we need both to receive love from and offer love to others. Without love, our connections with a wide range of individuals in our lives can fall apart. Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions. For example, how well has slavery worked as a mode of social harmony?
From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans, forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and psychological integrity of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through scientific studies, is the decreasing of hatred and the restoration of harmony. Forgiveness can break the cycle of anger. At least to the extent the people from whom you are estranged accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments. Forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people.
As an important note, when we take a Classical philosophical perspective, that of Aristotle, we see the distinction between potentiality and actuality. We are not necessarily born with the capacity to forgive, but instead with the potential to learn about it and to grow in our ability to forgive. The actuality of forgiving, its actual appropriation in conflict situations, develops with practice.
(1)、What is Droll's idea about forgiveness?A、People should offer mercy to others. B、People who forgive can have their own welfare affected. C、Forgiveness depends on the nature of humanity. D、Aggressive people should learn to forgive.(2)、What does the example in Paragraph 2 illustrate?A、To forgive is to love. B、To fight is to grow. C、To dominate is to harm. D、To give is to receive.(3)、What is the writer's attitude toward forgiveness?A、Objective. B、Reserved. C、Favorable. D、Skeptical.(4)、What is message of the last paragraph?A、It takes practice to forgive. B、Forgiveness grows with time. C、Actuality is based on potentiality. D、Forgiveness is in our nature. -
