22、   Social networking websites are an important tool for us to keep up with the world, make new friends, and share pictures, videos, or bits of interesting news.

The following are examples of specialized websites for these people.

Stache Passions

23、The Ostrich Pillow was created by a European designer, who wanted to find a creative way to provide people with the health and productivity benefits commonly associated with power napping (小憩). Power napping is as important as normal sleep. Only when you’re done with a power nap, are you expected to actually work better.

When you wake up from a normal nap, it’s completely OK to glance around the room, confirm that John Hodgman riding a unicorn (独角兽) was just an amazing dream, and then roll over to fall back asleep.

But the Ostrich Pillow is specifically designed for those shorter periods of rest-the power naps-and the creators say that their invention allows you to sleep anytime, anywhere by creating a “little private space within a public one, to relax and rest.”

Perhaps this says a lot about people’s attitudes toward napping and the importance of taking a little nap during the busy workday. The advertisement for the Ostrich Pillow even claims that a 20-minute power nap can increase productivity by 37％.

Amazing! I can only dream of all the things I would get done at the office if I actually worked at 37％ productivity. And to think, all I need is a quick nap as soon as I get to my desk!

In general, the Ostrich Pillow seems like a great idea. It’s convenient. It’s comfortable. It has a place for your hands. But the big question is whether people will actually wear it in public.

Nevertheless, I’m still hoping to get my hands on one of these to give it a proper test drive. But, until then, if you need me, I’ll be sleeping buried on my desk!

【1】According to the passage, we can learn that ________.

A．the Ostrich Pillow can help people sleep longer

B．power napping can help people work better

C．people from a normal nap usually dream about a unicorn

D．John Hodgman invented the Ostrich Pillow

D．He dislikes it.

【3】Which of the following best describes the Ostrich Pillow?

B．Productive and relaxing.

C．Convenient and comfortable.

D．Special and attractive.

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．The writer has got an Ostrich Pillow.

B．The writer is willing to have a drive test.

C．The writer will be sleeping on his desk without that.

D．The writer expects to own an Ostrich Pillow.

【5】What might be the author’s purpose of writing the text?

A．To introduce an invention for power napping.

B．To advertise a new invention — the Ostrich Pillow.

C．To inform people the importance of power napping.

D．To tell people a better way of keeping power napping.

24、It is said that a great many things about languages are mysterious, and many will always be so. But some things we do know.

Firstly, we know that all human beings have a language of some kind. There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language, no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one another. In historical times, there has never been a race of men without a language.

Secondly, there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many people whose cultures are underdeveloped, who are, as we say, uncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive. In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing.

This has not always been well understood; indeed, the direct contrary has often been stated. Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate. Many people have guessed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises. Study has proved this to be nonsense. There are, or were, hundreds of American Indian languages, and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old. They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with, but they are no more primitive than English and Greek.

A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate. This means each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language.

Finally, we know that language changes. It’s natural and normal for language to change; the only languages which do not change are the dead ones. This is easy to understand if we look backward in time. Change goes on in all aspects of language. Grammatical features change as do speech sounds and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.

【1】In the 2nd paragraph the author thinks that ________.

A. some backward races don’t have a language of their own

B. some races in history didn’t possess a language of their own

C. any human race, whether backward or not, has a language

D. some races on earth can communicate without a language

【2】As the author says, people of underdeveloped cultures can have ________ languages.

A. complicated   B. uncivilized

C. primitive   D. well-known

【3】American Indian languages are mentioned to prove that they are ________.

A. as fully developed as some well-known languages

B. more primitive than some well-known languages

C. more complex than some well-known languages

D. just as primitive as some well-known language

【4】According to the author, language changes are most likely to appear in ________.

A. grammar   B. vocabulary

C. intonation   D. pronunciation

But, _________, I needed him less. I got married and moved away. My husband had most of the knowledge I _________ about the household chores (家务杂活).

I loved my dad, of course, but I wondered if maybe he had already shared everything I _________ to know. Maybe I’d heard all his _________. Maybe, after knowing a man for 40 years, there’s_________ left to say.

Then, two years ago, my husband and I_________ with my parents while our house was being repaired. They own a lake house, and Dad asked me to help __________ the bulkhead (隔板) at their dock.

I didn’t baulk (退缩)—it was the least I could do for __________ rent—but I was anxious. It was__________ labour.

But as we put the new bulkhead together piece __________ piece, my dad knowing exactly what __________ where, I looked at him. “How do you know how to build a bulkhead?” “I spent a summer while I was at university building them.”

I suddenly realised that maybe it’s not that there’s nothing left to say. Maybe it’s just that I’ve spent my life asking him the __________ questions.

A few weeks later, after moving back, I called my father. We __________ talking about everything. To anyone else, it would sound like a normal __________ between a dad and his daughter. But to me, it was a__________ beginning. I __________ the first part of my life needing to talk to my dad. Now I talk to him because I__________ to.
