Nicole Delian, 17, suffers from a condition that makes her sleep up to 19 hours a day and as  much as 64 days in a row. Nicole Delian is tired of sleeping.
This 17-year-old teenager from North Fayette, Pa., has a rare condition called Kleine-Levin  Syndrome -- or "Sleeping Beauty Syndrome" -- that makes her sleep 18 to 19 hours a day.
And when she does wake up, she is often so tired out that she is in a sleepwalking state and  doesn't remember doing basic things like eating, according to KDKA-TV.
Nicole's sleepwalking state has been so severe that she once slept through the holidays, awaking one day in January when she finally opened Christmas gifts alongside her family,  according to ChartiersValley.Patch.com.   .
"She's never really adjusted to it," her mother, Vicki Delien told the website. "She's 17 now  and it really upsets her. She's missed out on a lot."
Delien told talk show host Jeff Probst that the teen has at times slept 32 to 64 days in a row,  waking only in sleepwalking mode to eat.
Kleine-Levin Syndrome is incredibly rare, only affecting about l,000 people worldwide, and very hard to diagnose.
In Nicole's' case, it took 25 months for doctors to diagnose her, according to ChartiersValley.Patch.com, and everything from a virus, to epilepsy(癫痫) to West Nile was mentioned, including, unfortunately, the possibility she was faking it for attention..
When a typical episode of Sleeping Beauty Syndrome begins, the patient becomes progressively drowsy(昏昏欲睡的) and sleeps for most of the day and night, waking only to eat or go to the bathroom, according to the Klein-Levin Syndrome Foundation website. "When awake, the patient's whole behavior is changed, often appearing “stupid" or childlike. When awake he experiences confusion, complete lack of energy, and lack of emotions."
Patients also report that everything seems out of focus, and that they are hypersensitive to noise and light. Some patients also have intense food cravings(渴望).
The Delians did not say whether Nicole has experienced these symptoms.
There is no known cure, but Nicole's family is using a combination of epilepsy and narcolepsy(发作性嗜睡病)medication to minimize the incidents to just two a year.
【小题1】What's the reflection of Nicole's sleepwalking state?

A.Being forgetful.B.Missing Christmas.
C.Sleeping around the clock.D.Being exhausted and bad-tempered.
【小题2】According to the passage, Kleine-Levin Syndrome         .
A.is not impossible for doctors to diagnose
B.affects approximately l,000 people all round the country
C.is also known as Sleeping Beauty Syndrome which only affects females
D.makes those suffering this condition sleep as much as 64 days in a row without eating
【小题3】Frorn the passage we can infer that        .
A.the disease will change the patients' behavior for good
B.the case of Nicole has been covered several times by different media
C.the.patients of this kind are more and more sleepy when the syndrome begins
D.the patients of this kind become too sensitive to being exposed to any noise and light
【小题4】According to the passage, Nicole           .
A.was once suspected of lying about her condition
B.has a good appetite for food because of the disease
C.has adapted to the condition and can well cope with it
D.will be cured of the disease by using the combined medication

     When I was 17 years old I had surgery because of a disease. The day after the surgery, I
awoke to find a friend of mine sitting in a chair across from my bed. I don't remember much
about his visit. But I will not forget that he visited me on that day, and sat there for I don't know
how long, while I was under the influence of a morphine drip(输液). We benefit greatly from
our close friendships, but they are not a matter of calculable gain or loss.
     Our age, what we might call the age of economics, is strongly influenced by two types of
relationships that reflect the lives we are encouraged to lead. There are consumer relationships,
those that we participate in for the pleasure they bring us. They are focused on the present. It is
what brings immediate pleasure that matters. And there are entrepreneurial(商业的)relationships,
those that we invest in, hoping they will bring us some return.
     Aristotle thought that there were three types of friendship: those of pleasure, those of usefulness,
and true friendship. In pleasure friendships, he said, "It is not for their character that men love
ready-witted people, but because they find them pleasant." About the usefulness friendships, he
said, "Those who love each other for their utility(效用)do not love each other for themselves, but
because of some good which they get from each other."
     Although we benefit from our close friendships, these friendships are not a matter of calculable
gain and loss. Consumer pleasures are lasting for only a limited time. They surround us for a short
period and then they fade, like a drug. Entrepreneur friendship, when successful, leads to the victory
of personal gain.
It is precisely this non-economic character that is threatened in a society in which each of us is
offered only the choices of ownership, shopping, competition and growth. It is threatened when we
are led to believe that friendships without obvious recognizable gain are, in the economic sense,
irrational(不合理的). Friendships are not without reason, perhaps, but they are certainly without
that particular reason. Shared experience, not just everyday amusement or advancement, is the true
basis of friendship.
1. The author mentions his operation i the first pa ragraph to

D. talk about the experience of surgery

C. personal gain or personal loss    
D. immediate pleasure
3. The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument by              .
A. explaining three types of friendship
B. discussing questions
C. analyzing causes and effects
D. providing examples and facts
4. The author seems to support the idea that              .
A. friendships are a matter of calculable gain or loss
B. there are no specific reasons for friendship
C. short-term pleasure is the center of friendship
D. everyday amusement is the true basis of friendship
5. The best title for the text would be              .
A. Friendship in Modern Times
B. Friendship in Economic Recession
C. Friendship in the Age of Economics    
D. Friendship in a Fast Paced Life

As a disabled person, I often feel I have two jobs.There's my normal job working as a radio producer and there’s my role managing a team of carers (otherwise called personal assistants).Of the two jobs, being a radio producer is considerably easier.One of the hardest aspects of being a PA employer and needing 24-hour care is that you never feel “off duty”.At any time a PA could present me with an issue or concern that needs handling.

There was an occasion when a previous PA came into my bedroom one morning to get me up and began complaining straight away that I had paid her the wrong amount that week.Another former PA once called me on a Saturday evening to ask if she could book some annual leave.

Once the booking is confirmed, the worry about not having a carer at all is replaced by concern over who the carer is.My agency tries very hard to send me carers who’ve helped me before, but obviously if you book agency care at short notice you just have to accept whoever is available.When an agency sends me a carer who is new to me, I have to explain my needs from scratch.

Of course, no organisation is never wrong and care agencies are no exception.When an agency makes a mistake and a carer fails to turn up, the impact on my life can be frustrating and distressing.It might mean I’m unable to get up in the morning and am stuck in bed for hours staring at the ceiling, waiting for a carer to arrive.It might mean I’m late for work or have to miss an appointment.Fortunately, over the last decade I’ve seen a considerable improvement in the quality of service care agencies provide.Most of the time, I’m pleased to say, the agencies I use are caring, organised and reliable.

When a home PA is off sick, life can be stressful but when a work PA is ill, the consequences can be more serious.At home it doesn’t matter if tasks don’t get done or take longer because the agency carer is less experienced at helping me than my permanent PAs.The only person affected is myself.However, at work I have to meet deadlines and if I don’t do my job properly, then not only will it create extra problems for my colleagues but it could also affect the quality of the programme I'm working on.

Luckily, I employ two full-time permanent PAs so when one is absent I usually still have the other one with me.On a normal day the work PAs share out the hours equally between them.

Covering a PA’s sickness not only creates practical problems, it can also be a financial headache.Agency care is expensive.For this reason, a PA who doesn’t need much sick leave is worth her weight in gold.

1.The passage is mainly about __________________.

      A.social relation                        B.housework and work

      C.social care                         D.sickness and treatment

2.Being a PA employer, the author feels she is always “on duty” because__________________.

      A.she takes up two jobs---- working as radio producer and managing a team of carers.

      B.some employees are either less experienced or considerably lazy.

      C.she has to get up early in the morning and go to bed late at night.

      D.a personal assistant may bring much trouble to her anytime.

3.What does the author think of the service of the care agencies?

      A.The quality of service care agencies offer has improved a lot.

      B.Her care agencies never make any mistakes.

      C.Her care agencies take good care of her.

      D.The service her care agencies provide needs considerable improvement.

4.Why can the consequences be more serious when a work PA is ill?

      A.Because a work PA is less efficient than a home PA

      B.Because the author’s poor work has an effect on her colleagues with no care.

      C.Because on a normal day a work PA has much important work to do.

      D.Because the absence of a PA can cause financial problems.
