Tips to Ease Migraines

If you've ever experienced migraine headache, you know that it's no walk in the park. Migraines are very painful type of headache, often felt on one or both sides of a head. Some people experience migraines every now and then, while others get them more than once a week. 【1】 Although they are not dangerous to life, migraines can seriously affect one's ability to function throughout the day. Here are four tips for easing migraines:

1. Learn to manage. Migraines are often caused by stress, so try not to get stressed out easily. 【2】 Learning stress management techniques can reduce and even prevent the pain of a migraine headache. You can do this by taking a yoga lesson. If you prefer to practice relaxation at home, then try lying down on your bed or sofa and closing your eyes. Take slow, deep breaths and focus on relaxing each muscle group one at a time until you hate relaxed every single muscle in your body.

2. Use ice massage(按摩). Another solution is the "ice massage". Put your fingers into ice-cold water and then press your temples(太阳穴) until the pain decreases. 【3】

3. Drink lots and lots of water. You can also get migraines if your body lacks water. Avoid dehydration by staying out of the sun and drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Carry a water bottle with you. 【4】

4. 【5】 When you have a migraine, lights and sound can sometimes be your worst enemy. Close your curtains, turn out the lights, and remember to turn off the TV.

A . Add a few drops of peppermint(薄荷) oil for an even stronger effect.

B. Create a dark space to rest.

C. But never drink coffee, tea, or soda, for these may cause migraines.

D. But never wear headphones for too long, since it may cause migraines.

E. Avoid bright lights and loud noises.

F. Avoid using the computer for too long and going to bed late at night.

G. About 6 in every 100 people regularly experience migraine headaches.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每小题后所给的四个选项(A.B.C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并将答案填写在答卷上。

Many pets got separated from their families almost two years ago, when Superstorm Sandy hit the East Coast. A New Jersey family was one of them. They lost their dog. He got away from their backyard during the storm.

Chuck James said that his family searched for the brown-and-white dog named Reckless for months after the October 2012 storm. Reckless was a cute dog which brought much pleasure to the whole family, and the youngest daughter Tiffany loved him most. They played together, watched TV together, ate popcorn together and Reckless even saw Tiffany off when she headed for the kindergarten every morning. Chuck James kept searching for the lovely dog in every possible way, but no luck

"We reported him missing and called the shelters from time to time, just hoping they had him," James said. "We always kept our hopes up, but finally it was time to move on.”

James said the family had planned to get a new dog. The dog was to be a tenth birthday surprise for their eldest daughter, Ally. The family of five went to the Monmouth County SPCA( Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) to adopt a new animal. When James and his wife walked close to the first cage, they saw a familiar face inside.

“He was a little bigger than I remembered because they had fed him well," James joked. "But then he was lying on my wife's feet and I knew it was him. It was unbelievable. I know this dog is meant to be with our family.”

When SPCA officials asked if they could prove the animal was their dog, a friend sent a selfie showing the family, with their dog before Sandy hit the East Coast.

“We’re all so happy to have him back." James said. The family is living in hotel while their home is being repaired. This weekend, the James went on camping trip with Reckless to celebrate the dog’s return

【题目】The World Health Organization reports a number of people have died of the Ebola virus in central Africa during the last few months. Ebola, also known as Ebola hemorrhagic (出血) fever or Ebola viral disease, is a rare and deadly illness with high death rates in humans and primates. The natural source of Ebola virus remains unknown, although bats seem to be the most likely source.

The Ebola virus began spreading after victims were discovered in northeastern Gabon. So far, it is the third time Ebola has spread through Gabon since 1994. Health officials believe people moving across the border spread the disease from Gabon to Congo. Ebola is highly infectious and kills up to 80% of its victims. Researchers do not know the method with which the virus first appears in humans, but they believe it is through infected animals. The disease then spreads from person to person through blood and other body liquids.

Ebola victims treated early have the base chance of survival. Signs of Ebola include a high temperature, diarrhea, muscle pains and bleeding inside the body, in severe cases, victims experience chest pains and death. There is no known cure for the disease and no way yet to prevent it.

Scientists at the American National institutes of Health are working to develop a vaccine(疫苗) to prevent Ebola. Doctor Cary Nobel is leading the research effort at N-l-H testing center in the eastern state of Maryland. He says that during the past two years, the vaccine has been tested on small animals and monkeys for safety and effectiveness.

In the most recent study, four monkeys who had been given the vaccine were completely protected from a deadly injection of the Ebola virus. The study was described in November in Nature magazine. Doctor Nobel says the tests appear to have moved scientists one step closer to a vaccine for humans.

【1】Where does the Ebola virus come from?

A. Bats. B. Monkeys. C. Infected humans. D. Something unknown.

【2】When infected with Ebola virus, people may experience the following except ____.

A. heart attack B. a rise in temperature

C. chest pains D bleeding inside the body

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Once infected with the Ebola virus, people can never survive.

B. Half of the Ebola victims will lose their lives.

C. No cure has been found for the disease.

D. Scientists have succeeded in preventing Ebola.

【4】What is Doctor Nobel's attitude towards the tests?

A. Discouraged. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Not mentioned.

【题目】“Mommy, I’m a funny bird,” Jack, my almost-4-year-old tells me. He moves his little fingers like wings.

“You are?” I say. I’m sitting across from him while he eats breakfast at our table. I smile; he says the greatest things. A week ago, however, when he had chocolate on his face and I licked (舔) my finger to wipe it off, he said, “Don’t put your dirty water on me.”

A week ago, I wouldn’t have been sitting here with him during breakfast. I wouldn’t have been up, emptying the dishwasher, cleaning the kitchen, or answering emails. We always had dinner together at the table, but other meals got much less attention. I work from home, and my husband owns an advertising agency and often travels. We were so busy that we had to do the chores during breakfast or lunch.

Why was I not sitting down with my son? It could take Jack an hour to eat a meal, during which I could feel the tug (猛拉) of unanswered emails, a deadline, and the unswept floor each minute.

Then we went to visit friends for a weekend. They have two kids. They are busy, professional, and good parents. And at every meal -- not just dinner -- we all sat down at the table and ate. When we got home, my husband said, “Maybe we should be doing that.”

I took this as criticism. My husband works a lot, so mealtimes are mostly under my charge. The “we” he was talking about was me.

Then, I remembered myself that I’m a big girl, and took his comment the way it was meant. We both want what’s best for Jack. Yes, I thought. I’m home. I have to eat, too. My husband is Jack’s favorite, which delights and moves me, but I am Jack’s constant. Constants are there. Constants sit down.

So I’ve been sitting. And, surprise, I haven’t missed a deadline. The house has been clean. And Jack seems to like having me there. Two days ago, over lunch, he smiled and stared at me.

“What?” I asked, amused.

“Mommy, I love you so much and I can’t stop loving you.”

I could have missed that.

God, I could have missed that.

【1】 Before visiting the friends, Jack _________.

A. didn’t like chocolate

B. couldn’t eat by himself

C. was sometimes rude to his mom

D. preferred his mother to his father

【2】After visiting the friends, the author _________.

A. was determined to learn to cook

B. asked her husband to have every meal with her

C. decided to have dinner together with her family

D. was advised by her husband to learn from the friends

【3】What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. The best time to visit friends.

B. Jack saying sweet words to his mom.

C. A deadline for answering emails.

D. Jack having lunch with his mom.
