22、Last night at work, a girl came in and sat at the bar. She asked for a cup of water and a menu and eventually ordered a bacon cheeseburger which costs roughly $12 at my restaurant.
After eating for a few minutes, she asked me for a napkin (餐巾) and a pen. I saw her writing on the napkin but didn’t think anything of it. When I turned around, she was gone. As I went to clear her plate, I noticed that she had left a $100 bill along with a note that read, “Today marks my 14th day of chemo (化疗) along with my 26th birthday. Life’s been good to me so far, and I think I will pass my luck on to someone else. Have a great night!”
I have never been so touched by a stranger in my entire life. About 3 months ago, my own mother was diagnosed with lung cancer, so this hit very close to home. Having just witnessed my mother completed her first 5-week cycle of chemo, I know the pain and exhaustion this young woman is feeling. On top of the chemo, she was selfless enough on her own birthday that she gave a stranger a gift.
This young woman has completely touched my soul and has affected my life in a way that I will never forget. I hope to see her again one day, so I can tell her how much her random act of kindness has touched me and finally changed my life.
Thank you for being such a beautiful person and I pray that you get well.

23、 For a good night's sleep, here is some expert advice: Turn off, turn in and drop off. Anyone who does the opposite—turning on an iPad or other similar electronic readers in bed— may have a harder time both dropping off to sleep and shaking that weak feeling the next morning, a new study found.
Sleep experts at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, found that the light from a tablet computer upsets the body's internal(体内的)clock while reading a printed book does not have the same effect.
An internal clock helps regulate when we sleep. Exposure to the light of day and darkness of night keeps its timing set to a roughly 24-hour cycle. Starting about two hours before bedtime, our brains start to produce a hormone called melatonin(褪黑激素),which signals our internal clock that darkness has fallen and prepares the body for sleep.
Scientists have known for long that light at night can mess with that internal clock. And it does so by suppressing(抑制)melatonin, thus preventing the body from getting the message that bedtime is near.
For their new study,, the researchers recruited(招募)six men and six women, all in their mid-20s. Over two weeks, each spent four hours reading each evening before a 10: 00 pm bedtime. The volunteers read on an iPad for five nights in a row. On another five evenings they read a printed book.
Participants took nearly 10 minutes longer to fall asleep, on average, after reading on the iPads. They also spent less time in rapid-eye movement sleep which appears important for learning and storing memories.
There was no difference in hours spent sleeping after reading from either the iPad or a printed book. But how volunteers felt the next day did differ.
“Our most surprising finding is that participants using the e-reader would be more tired and take longer to become alert(警觉的)the next morning, says sleep researcher Ann-Marie Chang.
【1】What is paragraph 3 intended to stress?
A.The significance of the internal clock for sleep.
B.The relationship between internal clock and time.
C.The necessity of going to bed earlier regularly.
D.The importance of melatonin for new lifestyles.
【2】What does the underlined word “it" in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.The sleep disorder. B.The delayed message.
C.Light at night. D.An internal clock.
【3】How did the researchers try to show the results of the study?
A.By making comparisons. B.By giving some examples.
C.By explaining the principles. D.By telling causes and effects.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.An Internal Clock Has Control Over Sleep
B.Electronic Readers Should Be Formally Avoided
C.Reading Before the Night Sleep Leads to Health Problems
D.Screen Time Before Bedtime Can Disturb the Body's Clock
24、 Thousands of tiny baby penguins starved after changing weather forced their parents to walk across Antarctica in search of food.
18,000 pairs of Adelie penguins in Terre Adelie, Antarctica suffered the terrible breeding (繁殖) failure earlier this year, according to WWF.
The event happened because unusually plenty of sea ice forced their parents to travel further in search of food, leaving their chicks at home to starve, a reminder of the fearful effects of the changing climate.
Though Adelie penguins are generally doing well in East Antarctica, they are decreasing in the area, where the effects of climate change are already being felt.
Four years ago, the same area had another, similar shock. 20,196 pairs suffered, and not a single one was able to produce a chick.
That time around, unusual numbers of sea ice combined (结合) with warm weather and rain, before a rapid drop in temperature. Many of the chicks froze to death.
“Adelie penguins are one of the hardiest and most amazing animals on our planet, said Rod Downie, head of polar programmes at WWF.
“The risk of opening up this area to krill fisheries (磷虾渔场), which will compete with the Adelie penguins for food as they recover from two breeding failures in four years, is unthinkable. So a new Marine Protected Area for the waters off East Antarctica needs to be found to protect the home of the penguins.”
“A Marine Protected Area, or MPA, will allow the penguins to be kept from activities that can further affect their numbers,” scientists who work there say.
【1】What is the original reason for 18,000 pairs of Adelie penguins suffering breeding failure earlier this year?
A.They had to leave home further for food.
B.The effects of the changing climate.
C.Their chicks were left at home to starve.
D.There was plenty of sea ice.
【2】What should people do to protect the home of the Adelie penguins?
A.To open up that area to krill fisheries.
B.To produce much more food for them.
C.To find a new MPA for them.
D.To let them as they are, nothing done.
【3】What is Rod Downie’s attitude to opening up this area to krill fisheries?
A.Opposed. B.Unconcerned. C.Supportive. D.Doubtful.
