Is your pillow the problem?

How well did you sleep last night?

Did you toss and turn all night? Did you wake up with a sore neck or a headache? Do you feel like you need a nap even though you have slept for eight hours? Just like you. I would wake up in the morning with all of those problems and I couldn’t figure out why. Like many people who have trouble getting a good night’s sleep, my lack of sleep was affecting the quality of my life. I wanted to do something about my sleep problems, but nothing that I tried worked.

The pillow was the problem

I bought every pillow on the market that promised to give me a better night’s sleep. None of them worked. Finally, I decided to invent one myself. I asked everyone I knew what qualities they would like to see in their “perfect pillow” and got many responses: “I’d like a pillow that never goes flat,” “I’d like my pillow to stay cool” and “I’d like a pillow that adjusts to me regardless of my sleep position.” I spent the next two years of my life inventing MyPillow.

MyPillow to the rescue

Flash forward ten years and MyPillow, Mike Lindell’s revolutionary pillow design, has helped five million people improve the quality of their sleep. Lindell has been featured on numerous talk shows, including For Business News and Imus in the Morning. Lindell and MyPillow have also appeared in feature stories in The New York Times, MyPillow has been selected as the Official Pillow of the U.S. National Sleep Foundation.

“Until I was diagnosed with various sleep issues, I had no idea why my sleep was so interrupted throughout the night. I watched Imus each morning and heard endless ads about MyPillow. I ordered one and now, I wake up rested and ready to conquer (征服) the day ahead. Thank you for helping me remember what it's like to sleep like a baby!

【题目】阅读理解
The production of coffee beans is a huge, profitable business, but, unfortunately, full-sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage. The change in how coffee is grown from shade-grown production to full-sun production endangers the very existence of, certain animals and birds, and even disturbs the world's ecological balance.
On a local level, the damage of the forest required by full-sun fields affects the area's birds and animals. The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other special(物种) that depend on the trees' flowers and fruits. Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home. As a result, many special are quickly dying out.
On a more global level, the destruction of the rainforest for full-sun coffee fields also threatens(威胁)human life. Medical research often makes use of the forests' plant and animal life, and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases. In addition, new coffee-growing techniques are poisoning the water locally, and eventually the world's groundwater.
Both locally and globally, the continued spread of full-sun coffee plantations (种植园)could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology. The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world's climate, and studies show that loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming. Moreover, the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic(酸性的) soil conditions.
It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects many aspects of life, from the local environment to the global ecology. But consumers do have a choice. They can purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible, although at a higher cost. The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee.

There’s a Museum for Everyone

What comes to mind when you think of a museum? Perhaps you 【1】 an imposing building in a rather conventional（传统的）design made of high-quality stone? Perhaps you imagine a classic 【2】, such as the museum of natural history, the museum of fine art, or the national museum -- its exhibits displayed in a time - 【3】 style and falling in line with tradition.

Some people might consider these customary institutions the best way to 【4】 the future of typical educational topics. A museum of old breadboards, they may say, does not make up an orthodox（正统的）exhibition. But according to the Museum Association, a museum is defined as a place enabling “... people to 【5】 collections for inspiration, learning and enjoyment.” And so of the 2500 estimated museum in the UK, a few are bound to be considered a little unconventional.

What about Neil Cole’s Adventures in Science Fiction? This odd museum of classic science fiction was opened by the 【6】 Neil Cole. “Science fiction has become more mainstream so I thought people might want to see this,” says Mr Cole.

If clocks are more to your 【7】, why not visit the Cuckoo-land Museum? Set up by brothers Roman and Maz Piekarski, this collection of over 600 cuckoo（布谷鸟）clocks is considered to be the largest of its kind in the world -- and all from the Black Forest region in Germany.

Finally, you could visit the Victor Wynd Museum of Curiosities in London. This 【8】 institution reverses the trend of educating visitors through 【9】 explanations alongside its exhibits. Instead, it displays all of its 【10】 treasures, which include dodo bones, shrunken heads and a collection of McDonald’s Happy Meal toys, with no explanation at all.

A Brief History of Ice

Ice is a lot more than frozen water. In ancient days, it was nearly worth its weight in gold. Egyptian pharaohs, Roman emperors, and Mideastern kings ordered thick pieces of ice brought from the snow-covered mountain peak to make their drinks 【1】. Floated on ships, ice soon became a quick business -- not only as refreshment but also to cool houses in an old version of air 【2】. The Chinese of 3,000 years ago built special buildings to 【3】 ice. The Persians enjoyed put ice into fruit juices, which was called sharbia. In time, a craze for sharbia 【4】 throughout Europe.

The best was yet to come. In Italy, around 1550, some 【5】 cooks added milk to the recipe（菜谱）. Presto! The 【6】 of ice cream! But, for centuries, it was 【7】 and expensive. In 1809, Dolly Madison, wife of the fourth president of U. S. A., impressed her dinner guests by being the first to 【8】 ice cream at the White House.

Apart from nice desserts, ice was 【9】 business. It could cool fish, meat, fruits, and vegetables sent all over the world. Since then, we needn’t climb up mountains for ice all year round.

A small ice cube has a big history. Imagine yourself a queen or king of Persia when you put an ice into your lemonade. It’ll 【10】 even better.
