21、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.
22、Pocket Tape-Recorders “Family and Home Magazine” test what’s on the market now.
1)Pearlcorder S702 $64
This simple model at the bottom of the Olympus range scored the most points for its excellent quality of recording. Background noise hardly affects the sound and recording from a pocket is perfectly possible, but it doesn’t turn off automatically.
Tape length: 30 minutes per side. Weight:240g.
2)Sony M9 $49.95
Small and very good looking, sony’s latest offering scored most for appearance. Sounds clear, but there is slight machine noise.

Tape length: 60 minutes per side. Weight: 195g.
3)Sony M400 $115

4)Imperial OEM. MC $29.95
Cheap and simple compared with the rest, but recording was good as long as there was no background noise. Use only its own make of cassette. No light to show it is on; no fast forward button and the record button makes a loud noise.
Tape length: 30 minutes per side. Weight: 285g.

23、Children learn by example. It has been said that the values and ideas we want to teach the children should be done in the early years. If this teaching-learning period is handled responsibly by parents and guardians, a lot can be achieved. 【1】 Simple politeness should be shown right from the beginning. Parents must talk politely to their children and expect the same from them. All rude responses must be firmly rejected.
【2】 This can be done by giving them simple duties as early as possible. Duties can be as simple as putting toys away when the children are done playing with them. They can be taught to put away their clothes or shoes in the respective places on a daily basis. Children are quick to learn. 【3】
Children should be taught to sit down and play quietly or read a book if they can. In creating this habit, parents play a vital role as they also have to sit down and occupy themselves. 【4】 They want things to be exciting and fast-moving. If parents themselves do not read or spend time quietly, it is hard to expect the children to do so.
Of course, we must also realize that some children will be different. 【5】 They will want to test the limits set and want to be individualistic. Parents may have to allow some space so that creativity and inventiveness can be developed. While some amount of discipline is good, it must not be allowed to destroy their imaginative nature.
A.It is not an easy task but it can be done.
B.Good habits can be taught in the early years.
C.Children must be taught to be part of the family.
D.In this fast world, everyone expects to be entertained.
E.Good habits formed during this time will stay for a lifetime.
F.They will not always follow what parents instruct them to do.
G.Children are not expected to do things for themselves in some homes.
24、Four years ago, we asked ourselves: what if we could create a shopping experience with no waiting in lines and no checkout? Or could we create a physical store where customers could simply take what they want and go? Our answer to those questions is Amazon Go, where you could experience the idea of “just walk out shopping”.
Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. We created the world’s most advanced shopping technology, so you never have to wait in line. With our “just walk out shopping” experience, simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store, take the products you want, and go! No lines, no checkout.
Our checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars: computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning. Our “just walk out technology” automatically detects when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in your virtual cart(虚拟购物车). When you’ve done shopping, you can just leave the store. Shortly after, we’ll charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt(收据).
We offer delicious ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh every day by our on-site chefs and favorite local kitchens and bakeries. Our selection of foodstuff ranges from bread and milk to cheeses and locally made chocolates. You’ll find well-known brands we love, plus special finds we’re excited to introduce to customers. For a quick home-cooked dinner, pick up one of our chef-designed Amazon Meal Kits, and you can make a meal for two in about 30 minutes.
Our 1,800-square-foot shopping space is conveniently compact(紧凑的), so busy customers can get in and out fast. It is located at 2131, 7th Ave, Seattle, WA, on the corner of 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street. All you need is an Amazon account, a supported smartphone, and the free Amazon Go app.
Amazon Go is currently only open to Amazon employees in our testing program, and will be open to the public soon.
