4.Toronto Public Library is conducting a program allowing users to access light therapy lamps at two branches,Malvern and Brentwood.
Light therapy lamps are designed to imitate spring and summer light levels as a way to treat the"winter blues"or seasonal affective disorder (SAD),a type of depression with symptoms that include fatigue,anxiety,weight gain and sleep disorders.
The Places to use it.
The branches participating in the program are Malvern and Brentwood.These lamps are placed in the branch for use in the library.Each location has two lamps,available on a first-come,first served basis.The lamps cannot be taken out of the library.
The reason to provide it through the library.
Research by the Canadian Mental Health Association suggests that 2-3% of the general population of Ontario have SAD and another 15% have a less severe experience.
Light therapy lamps can be expensive for most people to purchase.This service provides all Torontonians with the opportunity to use light therapy if they need it.
The use of a light therapy lamp.
Turn the lamp on and sit,read or work in front of it for 20-30 minutes.For sensitive users,gradual exposure is recommended.Sit about 2 feet away.Face the lamp and allow the light to shine on your face but not directly in your eyes.Do not stare directly into the light.Adjust the angle of the lamp to suit your position.
The effect of the light therapy.
Light therapy is considered to be safe.Side effects are rare and if they occur they are usually mild and can include nausea,headaches and/or eye strain.There nre no known long-term side effects of light therapy.If you experience discomfort,stop using the lamp and contact your doctor.
The light therapy lamp should not be viewed as a cure,and other measures including staying fit,sleeping well and eating healthy are also very beneficial for treating the symptoms of mood disorders.Use of the lamp is at your own judgment.Toronto Public Library is not responsible for any health issues related to the use of the lamp.

17.Going green seems to be fad (时尚)for a lot of people these days.Whether that is good or bad,we can't really say,but for the two of us,going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.
      On April 22,2011,we decided to go green every single day for an entire year.This meant doing 365 different green things,and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things.Rather than recycle and reduce our energy,we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.
      With the idea of going green every single day for a year,Our Green Year started.My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment.We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.
     Over the course of Our Green Year,we completely changed our lifestyle.We  now shop at organic(有机的)stores.We consume less meat,choosing green food.We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need.We have given away half of what we owned through websites.Our h ome is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice,with no chemical cleaners.We make our own butter,enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread.In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.
  Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year.We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others.We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.

1.We can make all the jokes we want about taking baths ourselves,but if we are ill in bed and can't get up,we'll be thankful to the nurses who help us get clean.While I am not a nurse,and have never given anyone a bath,I would imagine that it would take a lot of sympathy (同情) and patience to do so.Yet those who attended the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems last month were introduced to Cody,a robot that can bathe human beings.
The robot has a base that can be turned to all directions,two humanlike arms,and movable wrists (腕).It uses a camera to locate parts of the human body.It then uses bath gloves to clean with a little pressure.
The robot was designed at the Georgia Institute of Technology.Charles Kemp of the Healthcare Robotics Lab is the senior researcher for the project.In a test run,Cody was able to remove 96% of a test subject's dirt-not bad for a robot.
But don't go asking for Cody yet-he's still a model.Yet researchers believe that one day Cody may take the place of nurses for this task.Researchers say that Cody will give patients dignity and protect their personal information.I suppose that would depend on the patient.I'm not sure whether a robot using a camera would make me feel very dignified.
Even so,I can appreciate the need.We don't have enough nurses to go around,and those places that are the most shorthanded,for example,nursing homes,are those that have the most patients who are unable to bathe themselves.Still,before I get there,I hope they think of a better way to solve the problem.

21.The writer thinks bathing others mustC.
A.be a lot of fun B.make you feel thankful
C.take a lot of patience D.make you feel dignified
22.What is the third paragraph mainly about?D
A.Why and where Cody was designed.
B.What Cody looks like and who designed it.
C.What Cody can do and where it will work soon.
D.How Cody works and what has made that possible.
23.We know from the fourth and fifth paragraphs thatC.
A.Cody can bathe patients better than a real nurse can
B.robots like Cody are being produced in large numbers right now
C.Cody can take the place of nurses completely in hospitals
D.researchers think Cody can protect patients'personal information

A.people are becoming lazier
