He returned home at 5:30 pm, for dinner at 6:00 pm. I never remember my father having a night out with his children. All he asked from me as a daughter was to hold his hammer while he repaired something, just so we could have some time to talk to each other. For 22 years, after I left home for college, my father called me every Sunday. Nine years ago, my father, 67 years old, spent three days painting my house. He asked me to hold the paint brush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy and I could not take the time to hold the paint brush, or talk to my father. Five years ago, my father spent five hours making a swingfor my daughter. Again, all he asked me to do was to give him a glass of tea, and talk to him. But again, I had some clothes to wash, and the house to clean. On January 16, 1996, my father telephoned me as usual, this time from my sister’s home in Florida. I had to get to church, and I cut the conversation short. The call came at 4:40 pm. That day, my father was in hospital in Florida. I got on an airplane immediately, and on the way, I made up my mind that when I arrived, I would make up for the lost time, and have a nice long talk with him. I arrived in Florida at 1:00 am, but my father had passed away at 9:12 pm. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me.

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 !

56．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

57．What does the writer think about the advertisement?

A．He feels bored． B．He doubts it． C．He believes it． D．He dislikes it．

58．Which of the following best describes．the Ostrich Pillow?

A．Comfortable and cheap． B．Productive and relaxing．

C．Convenient and comfortable． D．Special and attractive．

59．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．

60．What might be the author's purpose of writing the text?

A．To introduce an invention for power snapping．

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

C．To inform people the importance of power snapping．

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

Recent reviews of Chris Anthem by Mona Telor state, “It’s hard to describe a book like this one, it is an inspiring and encouraging story of survival, struggle, change, friendship, love and, basically, life. The relationship between Mona and Chris is one that I think most people can relate to on some level, and I think everyone has someone in their life who inspires them to be who they are. The development of the characters and the journey they take together through some of life’s hardest lessons are so beautifully written that you find yourself wrapped up in their world, and searching for them to overcome hardships and not lose sight of who they are. I highly recommend this book to anyone，especially if you need a little lift, and need to feel a bit better about the world!”

“I swallow Mona’s tale in a short time and didn’t want the story to end — a continuation someday perhaps?”

“Chris-Antem is a delightful story which offers much inspiration. Telor writes beautifully—I love the back grounding of each scene. I can just smell the coffee, taste the wine and see the moms every time they are mentioned. It’s a descriptive，word-picture type of writing that reminds me of Agarba Christie without the British accent！The story deals with the very sensitive subject of bad habits in family but does it in a way that shows love, pity and hope. In the world we live in today，this kind of writing is refreshingly welcome and uplifting.”

　　NO one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance．Uniforms are demanding to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society．Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an individual but only lives to function as a part of a whole．The individual in a uniform loses all self-worth．

　　There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a larger, more important concept．What could be more important than the individual himself?If an organization is so weak that it must rely on cloth and buttons to inspire its members, that organization has no right to continue its existence．Others say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in a school, eliminates all envy and competition in the matter of dress, such that a poor person who cannot afford good quality clothing need not be played down by a wealthy person who wears expensive, quality clothing．Those persons conveniently ignore such critical concepts as freedom of choice, motivation, and individuality．If all persons were to wear the same clothing, why would anyone strive to be better?It is only a short step from forcing everyone to wear the same clothing to forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of house, eat the same types of foods．When this happens, all incentive(鼓励办法)to improve one's life is removed．Why would parents bother to work hard so that their children could have a better life than they had when they know that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life that they had?

　　Uniforms also hurt the economy．Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly．Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating, and marketing different types of clothing．If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary．Sales persons would be unnecessary as well;why bother to sell the only items that are available?The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry which in turn would have a ripple effect(连锁反应)on such industries as advertising and promotion．Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business．One entire information and entertainment industries would founder．
