　　that sold only ice cream．His sister's husband, Burton Baskin, also opened hiscream stores．

　　In 1948 they combined their six stores into one business．Baskin and Robbins realized that they were too busy to operate each store well．So, they decided to sell part of each operation the manager of that store．This permitted the company to grow quickly． they renamed their company Baskin-Robbins．They advertised that they sold 31 kinds of ice cream to show the many choices buyers had．There was one flavor for every day of．

　　Robbins and Baskin sold "Lunar Cheesecake" the day after astronauts landed on the moon in 1969． flavors included "ChaChaCha", for cherry chocolate chip, and Robbins' personal favorile "Jamoca Almond Fudge"．They said: "We sell fun, not just ice cream．"

　　Few of us make money by losing sleep．But three graduate students at Brown University in Providence built a company around sleep deprivation （）．

　　Jason Donahue, Ben Rubin and Eric Shashoua were working late nights in Brown's business and engineering schools．They began thinking about ways to sleep better．They discovered they weren't alone in burning the midnight oil．Around 20of Americans get less than six hours of rest a night．

　　The friends imagined a smart alarm clock that could track how much time people spend in the most restorative （） stages of the sleep cycle: REM （rapid eye movement） and deep sleep．What would it cost to design such a thing? Five years of research, 20 employees, $14 million and a whole lot of doubting from investors and scientists．

　　Their company, Zeo, based in Newton, Mass, launched its product in June, 2009．The Zeo device uses a headband with tiny sensors （） that scan your brain for signs of four sleep states- REM, light, deep and waking sleep．The smart alarm clock displays a graph of your sleep pattern and wakes you as you're not in REM sleep （which is when you're least groggy）．In the morning you can upload the data to the company's Web site, and so track your sleep over time．Most of the feedback comes in the form of Zeo's ZQ score showing how well you've slept．

　　"Zeo allows people to unlock this black box of sleep," says Dave Dickinson, a health-care CEO．

　　Whether any of this actually improves sleep is up to the consumer, who will also need to make lifestyle changes like cutting out alcohol before bedtime or caffeine after 3 pm．

　　For now the company is selling Zeo online only．Dickinson also plans to spread it to countries such as Australia, where sleep deprivation approaches US levels．

　　60．Who will support Zeo?

　　A．People full of imagination．

　　People suffering sleeping problems．

　　C．People having access to the Internet．People having bad lifestyles．

　　61．Why did the three graduate students imagine a smart alarm clock?

　　A．To wake them up on time in the morning．

　　To earn enough money for their study．

　　C．To improve the quality of people's sleep．

　　D．To enjoy their life while working at night．design the Zeo device, the three graduate students ____．

　　A．spent much time and money

　　B．were widely supported by scientists

　　C．worked by themselves all the time

　　D．attracted many investors

　　．What can we know from the passage?

　　A．Zeo has a direct effect on users' lifestyles．

　　It needs more personal efforts to make Zeo function better．

　　C．A large quantity of Zeo devices have been sold in Australia．Consumers can go to the Zeo company to purchase Zeo in person．

　　Sitting by her Pinocchio lamp, she smiled at me as her tiny hands' shadow danced on the bedroom wall．"A rabbit!" she laughed with all the delight of a four-year old．Her blue eyes with pride as she showed me the animated image she had created．"Daddy, will you me how to make a tiger?" she asked．"Sure," I said, "and then we'll read a story and tell your angels goodnight．"To my youngest daughter, that meant her bedtime prayer．

　　Today my daughter is seven, and I no longer get to read the story．She reads it to me, complete with expressive accents for the story characters．

　　To say I'm proud of our relationship would be an understatement．We have shared days joy as well as tragedy．Our time together has strengthened the relationship of love and spe "life stuff" that is all our own．

　　I am richer for having planted the spirit of trust in this gentle little person; we have grown together spiritually, learning much from each other．The special times we spend together, like nights by a Pinocchio lamp, create memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives．

　　So it is with all of our relationships．The trust factor is vital for relationships to develop．Think of one of your fondest memories, and you will no doubt find a remarkable relationship its center--one with a spiritual quality that shines outward from the heart．

　　Time together, caring acts, and unconditional love build trust．I suggest that we each spend plenty of time with our personal "Pinoechio lamps"--those special ways that we choose to strengthen our relationships．

　　Relationships take time to develop and maintain．It is not always easy, but the results are priceless．"Nights by a Pinoechio lamp", wherever those might be for you, will create enduring relationships of golden "life stuff", spiritual gifts that no one can take away．

　　6．The underlined words in the third paragraph refer to all EXCEPT A．hands' shadow dancing on the wallB．reading bed stories

　　C．sharing each other's tragedypraying to the angels for goodnight

　　65．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

　　A．The author thinks the relationship with his daughter is so simple that he can't describe with plenty of words．

　　B．If you take time to attempt to build relationship, you will find it easy to get the satisfactory results．

　　Plant the spirit of trust into others and you will create valuable memories for each other．

　　It's not worth spending time developing relationship if you meet the failure at last．

　　6．Why does the author write the passage?

　　To recall his fondest memories．

　　B．To stress the importance of trust in building relationships．

　　C．To explain how to create valuable memories．

　　To tell the readers how to educate children．7．Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?

　　A．Life Stuff Of Your Own B．Nights by a Pinocchio Lamp

　　C．Unconditional gifts-Love

　　D．A spiritual quality shining outward from the heart

　　D

　　M：May I help you?

　　W：Yes, I’d like to take a one-day sightseeing tour around town．

　　M：About seven hours．Where are you staying?

　　W：At the Hyde Park Hotel．

　　M：Let’s see．The bus stops there at 9:50．You should be back by 5:30 in the afternoon．

　　M：I think we’re going to miss the train．Must we go so slowly?

　　W：Yes, we must．As they say, “It’s better to be safe than sorry．”

　　M：What does that mean?

　　W：It means we don’t want to have an accident．

　　M：Mary, I think you’ll miss the train．

　　W：No, Grandpa．There are still four or five blocks to go．Then we have to turn right．

　　M：Doesn’t Ellen always turn next to the school?

　　W：Sometimes, Grandpa．But that’s a slow way to go．We’re in a hurry．

　　M：Oh, no! There are more traffic lights ahead．I hope the light stays green．

　　W：Oh, no! There it goes．A red light and we have to stop for the green light．

　　M：Do you think we’ll make it to the station in time?

　　W：I don’t know．How long will we wait at this light? What time do you have, Granddad?

　　M：Ten minutes to three．

　　W：Oh, no．I don’t think we’re going to make it．Bad luck!

　　M：Time to eat!

　　W：Coming．Oh, I’m so hungry that I could eat a horse…[Good, good] Oh yuck! What’s that?

　　M：It’s pizza．I just followed an old family recipe here, and …

　　W：Let me see that…Oh, Dad．[What?] you’re missing a page!

　　M：Oh, uh, well, uh…well I couldn’t find the second page of the recipe, but don’t worry．I have plenty of experience around the house．Plenty of experience in cooking．

　　W：That’s not what mom says．

　　M：Well, wait , wait, here let me try a piece first．Here, let me, let me cool this off first．Ohhh, yeah．Oh, this is great stuff．

　　W：Yeah right．Why are you making that face?

　　M：Well, it’s just, just a little rich for me．That’s all．

　　W：Let me try it Dad．Uh, Dad．You put a little too much salt in it and besides it’s burned．

　　M：Well, okay, well, so what? Uh, what can we do now?

　　W：W
