For light sleepers
Millions of people have trouble falling asleep each night, which is why Light Sleeper was created.
Developed in the United Kingdom, LightSleeper"s makers say it can help a person fall asleep and also
help a person fall back to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night.
LightSleeper works by projecting(投射) a light onto the ceiling while the person is lying down.The
idea is to watch the light, because the light moving in a circle has a relaxing effect.

Stop the snoring(打鼾)
Here"s a new product designed to slow down the frequency and level of your snoring.The Snore
Stopper has a sensitive instrument that will detect when you"re snoring.Once it does that, it will send a

from snoring.The Snore Stopper won"t cause any damage to your body.
Get your true colors
Photoshop features a pen that will copy the color settings of what you are monitoring onscreen to use
as a color in your program.Now an offline product allows you to pick a color when not using the computer software.
The Color Picker is a concept pen.After placing the pen against an object, the user just presses the
scan button.Color sensors(感应器) inside the pen send information to a box, which then mixes red,
green and blue to produce the desired ink color.
Keep it fresh
More high technology products are showing up in the kitchen.A new Bagel dome(圆顶形物)

| The parents of a troubled teen may feel unsure as to whom to turn to in order to find help for their child. They may feel as if they have exhausted all of their options, and sometimes they are on the verge of giving up. But there is hope. Schools for troubled teens offer discipline and in some cases, drug treatment programs that can provide important life skills, and more importantly, a fresh start. The following is a list of the most effective types of schools for troubled teens. Not every facility is a match for every child, but by knowing the differences between them, parents can make a better educated decision about where to send their teenager. Boarding Schools When a child is unable to deal with the relative freedom of a standard school day, boarding schools might be a good choice. At boarding schools, the child lives in a dorm setting, where almost every minute of the day is scheduled by school administrators. Treatment Centers When a teenager has an addiction to drugs or alcohol, a residential center that specializes in young people is an outstanding way to help them break the cycle of addiction. Treatment centers feature individual and group counseling to help identify the root causes of the drug problem and help develop the life skills needed to stay clean when the program is over. Wilderness Programs Designed to help improve the discipline and self-reliance of the child, wilderness programs send kids back to nature. By placing them in a foreign and sometimes uncomfortable setting, wilderness programs hope to improve children"s behavior. Programs generally include hikes, exercise programs and team building exercises. Boot Camps Boot camps are the most extreme style of school for troubled teens. These facilities are modeled after actual military boot camps, where the individual must get into shape, work as part of a team, and follow a long, hard set of rules and regulations. However, boot camps might not be the best choice for a teen with a drug addiction. | |||
| 1. Who would be the intended readers of the passage? | |||
| A. Teachers. B. Parents. C. Students. D. Experts. | |||
| 2. As the author suggests schools for troubled teens______. | |||
| A. can be a good choice for some desperate parents B. are becoming more and more popular with teens in trouble C. can completely change troubled teens D. care more about discipline than life skills | |||
| 3. According to the passage, boarding schools_____. | |||
| A. provide children with more freedom B. have their students" time managed carefully C. pay much attention to team building exercises D. can make children feel safer | |||
| 4. What"s the purpose of this passage? | |||
| A. To introduce schools for troubled teens. B. To show some problems of troubled teens. C. To teach parents how to educate their children. D. To remind parents to care for their children. | |||

| You get all sorts of demands, and the mark of a good hotel is to supply whatever is asked for without sounding surprised. If a guest asks for rubbers gloves, you don"t ask why. You say, "No problem. What color do you want?" There have been some demands which, much as I would have liked to fill, I couldn"t. A Japanese businessman, for example, thought the manager of a hotel was like his girlfriend so he asked me to marry him to the woman he loved. There was one time, however, we did help out. A young man thought that if he asked his girlfriend to marry him at the Ritz(瑞士著名的豪华酒店)she would say yes. He asked us to put the ring in a cake, and she accepted. Top hotels are used more and more to impress. They are used for doing business. If you"ve got something to sell, take your clients(客户) to the best hotel where the surroundings are quite helpful. A friend of mine working at Savoy Hotel tells the story about a man who gave him 5 pounds to say " Good morning, Mr. Smith saying, "I do wish they would leave me alone at this place." According to Julian Payne, the most powerful people in any hotel are the porters, who carry bags for hotel guests. "Porters can do almost anything. They can get you tables at the best restaurants or tickets for a popular concert. Don"t ask me how they do it or what their deal is because I don"t know. Most of them have been there for years. They know more about the history of the hotel and the guests than anyone else. They are invaluable. A head porter will come in even on his day off so he can say hello to someone he remembers visiting the hotel years ago." | |||
| 1. When guests ask for something strange, the manager of a good hotel would think _____. | |||
| A. how he can meet their needs B. why they have such demands C. what problems the hotels has D. who is the best person to go to | |||
| 2. Why are the porters considered the most powerful people in expensive hotels? | |||
| A. They sell tickets for concerts B. They can complete difficult tasks C. They know the history of hotels D. They usually work in a hotel for a long time | |||
| 3. Which of the following examples explains "we did help out?" | |||
| A. The hotel bought a ring for a young lady B. A Japanese married the woman he loved C. The manager once acted as a captain D. A young lady agreed to marry her boyfriend | |||
| 4. By saying "I do wish they would leave me alone at this place", Mr. Smith_____. | |||
| A. showed that he disliked such people at the hotel B. gave the impression that he was a constant guest C. tried to make his clients feel sorry for him D. sounded as if he was tired of such greeting |
