18.Are you having difficulty falling asleep?Try drinking a glass of warm milk.If that doesn't work,listen to soft,beautiful music.Still no luck?Try thinking about sheep jumping over a fence.If you are still awake,take a sleeping pill.But people who take pills often become dependent on the drugs.So you lie awake knowing that the new workday will soon arrive.If you have been in such condition for at least one month,you may have primary insomnia(失眠症).
A new study has found that you might fall asleep more quickly and stay asleep longer if you try"cerebral hypothermia".It is not a complex medical process.It just means cooling down your brain.Eric Nofzinger and Daniel Buysse from the University of Pittsburgh Medical School led the study.They examined twelve people who had sleeping problems.Twelve others had no sleep problems.Each of them wore a soft plastic cap on their head at bedtime.
The caps had tubes inside filled with water.The researchers moved the water through the tubes and then changed the temperature of the water.Other studies showed that people who had sleeping problems often had more chemical reactions in the front of their brain.The researchers thought cooling down the brain might help.
On the first two nights of testing,the patients wore caps with no water.On the next two nights,the caps were worn,but the water was not cooled.Then the researchers cooled the water a little for another two nights.On the final two nights of the study,the temperature of the water was made much cooler.
The researchers found that the water caps didn't help the patients until the temperature was about 14℃.Most of the patients fell asleep faster and slept better when the coolest water was moving around their heads.
Dr Nofzinger and Dr Buysse noted that this was only the beginning of the brain temperature study.But they believed they had discovered something important that needed more research.

36.The first paragraph is written toB.
A.explain how serious insomnia is
B.bring forward the topic of the passage
C.tell us the causes of sleeping problems

A.a complex medical process

D.a difficult scientific theory

C.cooling down people's brain might be harmful
D.the results of their study would be made use of soon.
10.In life,we will succeed and fail often for reasons that are entirely out of our control.For instance,we can be incredibly nice and love someone deeply,and they may not love us back.We can work harder than anyone else in the office and still not be promoted to management.We can eat healthy food,exercise and stay away from alcohol and cigarettes,and still get sick.
The bottom line is that life is not fair.
That is a tough pill to swallow for many of us.As a result,some people shut down after being hit by even one unfair blow from life.They can't handle the fact that our efforts don't always get the results that we expect.But if we let life's unfairness defeat us,we will never receive the beautiful blessings (幸事) that life has in store for us.
For example,my first marriage ended in divorce.To me,it felt very unfair.I had worked hard to be a good wife and mother.However,no matter what I did,I could not make the relationship work.
I could have been shut down by that experience.I could have decided that if one person didn't appreciate me as a wife,then no one would.I could have given up.But I knew that I wanted to be married.I knew that I wanted to experience traditional family life.So I didn't let one seemingly unfair experience stop me from believing that I could one day be happily married.And then one day,I met this kind,thoughtful,generous man with whom I now have a wonderful friendship and marriage.But that wouldn't have happened if I had decided to give up after one failed marriage.
What I've learned over the years is that we can do all the things that deserve a good outcome,but get bad things in return instead.
When we are faced with life's seeming unfairness,our faith needs to jump in.When life doesn't go according to plan,we have to let go of the outcome that we are looking forward to and keep trying,working hard and doing the right thing.Please don't be discouraged.Accept that life is neither fair nor straightforward.And by knowing that if we remain confident,we can drive our unfair experiences away and use them for our benefit.

27.We can learn from the first three paragraphs thatA.
A.life doesn't often turn out the way we expect
B.the author thinks life should reward us for our efforts
C.unsatisfactory results simply mean your effort is not enough
D.people should focus on the process rather than the outcomes
28.The author wrote about her unsuccessful marriage toD.
A.complain about the unfairness of her life and marriage
B.tell readers how she met her second husband and became happily married
C.express how proud she is for not being shut down by a blow from life
D.show that we need to have faith and continue working for our goals

B.tell us how to deal with life's seeming unfairness

17.To be financially secure and spiritually pleased,a man who has an occupation ought to have two or three hobbies.It tends to make people laugh by saying:"I will develop hobbies when I am retired."Such a promise is like a bubble which will burst in the end,leaving pleasure forever beyond.On the other side,if a man is only interested in acquiring knowledge and abilities irrelevant(不相干的) to his daily work,it is also hard to get true pleasure in the long run.
Broadly speaking,hobbies for those who have jobs should be practical.For example,it is impractical for a construction worker,after a hard week's manual labor,to develop the interest of playing football on Saturday afternoon.It is also unlikely for a politician or a business man,who has been working or worrying about serious things for six days,to attend drama courses at the weekend.
It may also be said that laborers are divided into two classes:first,those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure; and secondly,those whose work is everything and pleasure just exists in work.The former are the majority.They have their compensations.The long hours in the office or the factory bring them money,not only as the means of livelihood,but as a driving force for pleasure beyond their work.But for the second class,the working hours are never long enough.Each day is enjoyed like a holiday,and when real holidays come,they see them as interruptions.To both classes,the need of changing the angle of viewing work and pleasure is essential.Those who find it hard to enjoy their work are not fully enjoying the world they live in.However,it is more urgent for those whose work is their all pleasure to drive the work occasionally off their minds and develop hobbies.

24.What can we learn from paragraph 1?C
A.The best choice for a person is having three hobbies
B.To relax one should broaden his knowledge in other fields
C.Pleasure is acquired by enjoying work and hobbies
D.Pleasure lies in how much one is involved in other fields
25.Which hobby do you recommend to a software programmer?D
A.Playing Chinese chess
C.Learning watercolor painting
B.Writing poems
D.Joining in Mobike riding
26.Which can substitute the underlined word in paragraph 3?B
A.working hours
B.real holidays
C.means of livelihood
D.drama courses
27.What is the best title of the passageA
A.Work and Pleasure
C.Holidays and Interruptions
B.Hobbies and Relaxation
D.Manual Work and Brain Work.
14.Chinese students are the largest group of international students in the United States,Britain,Australia,Canada and several other countries.
Data (41)released(release) by the Chinese Ministry of Education shows that the number of Chinese students studying abroad has reached more than 500,000.Chinese students make (42)up  the majority of international students around the world.More Chinese students studied abroad in 2016 than in 2015,and this is a trend,(43)whichmay continue in the following years.
Quite a few nations have relaxed(放宽) their visa policies(44)to attract(attract)more international students.For instance,Australia has created(45)a new procedure to simplify the visa application process,(46)hoping(hope)that international students in Australia will increase a lot by 2025.
"The majority of foreign universities do not have strict admission requirements.(47)However,students should reach higher standards for graduation.It means that students have to meet standards for language ability and academic performance,"stated Li Rongyu,vice president of the University of Canberra(堪培拉大学副校长).
A craze(狂热) for studying abroad has led to strong (48)competition(compete) among international applicants at many universities.The latest data shows that the admission rate (录取率) for Ivy League universities(常青藤大学) reached the lowest point in 2016.
"The decreased admission rate has something to do with the(49)increasing(increase)applicants."experts say.As a consequence,elite U.S.universities(精英大学)can continuously raise(50)their(they)admission requirements.
