Your beloved pet maybe hurting your sleep, new research finds.
Though pets can be helpful for health, pet owner was likely to have poorer sleep, according to a study.
The researchers corrected factors that could influence sleep, including race(种族) and income(收入), as well as age, gender(性别) and BMI, and focused on whether a person had a sleep disorder and whether a person had a cat or a dog.
The findings showed that having a dog was connected with a greater chance of having a sleep disorder and having trouble sleeping, while having a cat was connected with having a higher chance of leg jerks (抽搐) in the night. “The age of the pet has a big influence on whether or not they keep you up at night,” van Egmond said. “If you have many pets, they can egg each other on.”
With dogs, it depends a lot on the kind and the activity level it needs. Making sure a pet gets plenty of physical activities and mental stimulation(刺激) during the day can help animals—and their owners—get better rest.
Unlike dogs, cats are more active at night and it is easier to use up their energy. If you play with your cat before it is ready for bed, you would make it hard for cats to fall asleep. If you feed your cat after playing with it, your cat would feel that it has successfully hunted its food and is rewarded with a nice meal in return. Then it goes to sleep quickly.
The new study shows that pets can influence your sleep, but we have to really think about that pets are much more than a pet in our family.

Valentine’s Day Card
Valentine’s Day is time to show special people in your life that you care about them. One way to mark the day is to give Valentine’s Day cards. Homemade cards can be especially fun to share because you can make your friends and family feel extra loved. Here’s how to get started.
Collect supplies (something available to be used) Instead of buying something new, start with what you already have at home. Look in your craft area for colorful paper, stickers, markers, ribbons, and glitter. You can also use recycled supplies, such as flyers you’ve gotten in the mail or colorful packaging from items you’ve purchased. Get elegantOnce you have your basic card and message, it’s time to layer on more shapes cut from paper. Use fun craft scissors (like waves or zigzags) to cut out hearts, stars, or other shapes of various sizes and glue them onto the card, either on top of one another or in different spots. If you like, you could even tape a small candy or toy to the card.
Start with a baseChoose a piece of thicker paper. You can pick a classic Valentine’s Day color, like pink or red, or any shade you prefer. Fold it in half to make a card with a front and an inside. Or cut the paper into a shape (like a heart) to make a flat card with designs on the front and back. Add a noteAfter you have the shape of your card ready, write a message on it. You can write a longer note about why you appreciate the person you’ re giving the card to, including an inside joke, or a Valentine’s Day saying. For example, you could write “Our friendship is blooming” and then decorate your card with flowers.
Fun facts about Valentine candy The first heart-shaped candy boxes were produced for Valentine’s Day in 1861. Conversation hearts, another popular candy for the holiday, were originally produced in 1800s. Although roses are popular gifts, 69% of Americans would prefer chocolates.

With easy access to cameras on mobile phones and other devices, many people take photos every day. Phone cameras have many fun features. You can add colors to the photos that make them artistic and full of life. Even with a wide variety of filters(滤镜) and features, it still takes skill to capture amazing pictures.

Tip 2 Keep your background simple with all white or black to make your subject standout.
Tip 3 Hold your camera steady. This may be harder than it seems, but don’t let shaky hands ruin your pictures.

Tip 5 If you are taking nature shots, use leading lines to draw the viewer’s eye into the scene. Examples might be railway tracks, fences, or a row of trees.
Tip 6 Give your subject space to move. For example, if a dog is running across the lawn, frame the shot so that there is room in front of the animal for it to run into that empty space. Don’t cut it off too closely.

The digital industry is developing rapidly. There are over seven million jobs in the computer science and technology industries in the United States alone. Yet there is still a gender gap (性别差异) when it comes to women in technology. These women face many challenges (挑战) and 41% of them give up trying. So what can be done to close this gender gap
First, women need to be encouraged to enter the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), as well as computer science. It’s said that 74% of young women express interest in STEM subjects and computer science. However, women hold only 18% of undergraduate (本科) computer science degrees and 26% of technology jobs. Early education must convey (传递) technology as a tool that can be used to solve problems in real life.
Many young women are put off because they regard the technology as men’s job. Women are short of role models. Only 5% of tech leaders are women. They can play a huge role for young women by giving them encouragement, support and guidance. They can also help attract more women to get into the field. However, men working in the tech industry have a duty to listen to women and keep a comfortable work culture as well.
If we go on to empower (授权) women in the tech industry, it will be good for everyone.
30．What is the rate of women who give up trying in technology
A．5%. B．18%. C．26%. D．41%.
31．What is not included in STEM
A．Science. B．English. C．Technology. D．Mathematics.
32．Why are young women discouraged from working in technology industries
A．Because they regard the technology as men’s job.
B．Because there are many women role models in IT.
C．Because they are not interested in computer science.
D．Because technology is useless in solving real life problems.
33．What do men need to do
A．Be tech leaders. B．Replace women. C．Listen to women. D．Attract more men.
34．What is the passage about
A．Gender gap in IT. B．Computer Science. C．More Encouragement. D．Tech Work Culture.
【答案】30．D 31．B 32．A 33．C 34．A
【导语】本文主要介绍了女性在科技行业包括数字行业中的占比少的情况，并给出了如何缩小科技行业中的性别差异的建议。
30．细节理解题。根据第一段中“These women face many challenges (挑战) and 41% of them give up trying.”可知，这些女性中有41%的人放弃了在科技方面的尝试和努力。故选D。
31．细节理解题。根据第二段中“First, women need to be encouraged to enter the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), as well as computer science.”可知，STEM不包括英语。故选B。
32．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Many young women are put off because they regard the technology as men’s job. Women are short of role models. Only 5% of tech leaders are women.”可知，因认为科技是男性的工作，许多女性就此被劝阻了前往科技行业的脚步，且女性缺乏在科技行业中的榜样。故选A。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段中的最后一句“However, men working in the tech industry have a duty to listen to women and keep a comfortable work culture as well.”可知，就职于科技行业的男性有责任去倾听女性的意见，并且要维持一个舒适的工作文化。故选C。
34．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Yet there is still a gender gap (性别差异) when it comes to women in technology. These women face many challenges (挑战) and 41% of them give up trying. So what can be done to close this gender gap ”及通读全文后可知，文章介绍了科技行业中的性别差异——女性在此行业中占比少，并给出了如何缩小此性别差异的建议，所以本文是一篇关于科技行业（信息行业等）中的性别差异的文章。故选A。

Brittany Hawley graduated this weekend — but she didn’t cross the stage alone. Her loving golden retriever, Griflin, was right beside her to collect his very own honorary degree.
Brittany was diagnosed with CRPS at 16, which has made her unable to walk. She is now in a wheelchair. Brittany got Griflin through “paws4 prisons”, a program that teaches prisoners in West Virginia to train high-level assistance dogs. “They allow many dogs to come up to you and let the dog choose you,” she said. “Some dogs were scared of the wheelchair, Griffin jumped right into my lap and licked me across the face.”
Then the pair pursued 100 percent together a graduate degree in Occupational Therapy at Clarkson University attending all the same classes, lectures, research projects, etc. “Gnffin does a lot for me.” Brittany said, “including opening doors and turning on lights … If I fall, he’d get a person or a phone to help. But the most important is the comfort he provides when I feel painful.”
So when Brittany was honored with her master’s degree, Griffin was once again at her side — with an honorary degree of his own.
“I pushed from day one for Griffin to graduate with me.” Brittany said, “He did everything I did!”
The Board of Trustees honored the 4-year-old golden retriever at the ceremony, saying he’d shown great endeavour and loyalty to his owner. “I don’t like to be defined as a disabled person. I want to define myself.” said Brittany. “And my loyal dog would always be by my side in my journey.”

Your beloved pet maybe hurting your sleep, new research finds.
Though pets can be helpful for health, pet owner was likely to have poorer sleep, according to a study.
The researchers corrected factors that could influence sleep, including race(种族) and income(收入), as well as age, gender(性别) and BMI, and focused on whether a person had a sleep disorder and whether a person had a cat or a dog.
The findings showed that having a dog was connected with a greater chance of having a sleep disorder and having trouble sleeping, while having a cat was connected with having a higher chance of leg jerks (抽搐) in the night. “The age of the pet has a big influence on whether or not they keep you up at night,” van Egmond said. “If you have many pets, they can egg each other on.”
With dogs, it depends a lot on the kind and the activity level it needs. Making sure a pet gets plenty of physical activities and mental stimulation(刺激) during the day can help animals—and their owners—get better rest.
Unlike dogs, cats are more active at night and it is easier to use up their energy. If you play with your cat before it is ready for bed, you would make it hard for cats to fall asleep. If you feed your cat after playing with it, your cat would feel that it has successfully hunted its food and is rewarded with a nice meal in return. Then it goes to sleep quickly.
The new study shows that pets can influence your sleep, but we have to really think about that pets are much more than a pet in our family.
1．What can make a great difference to your sleep
A．Food. B．Pets. C．Work. D．Noise.

A．We should see the pets as our family.
B．Cats are very active in the daytime.
C．All the dogs can influence your sleep.
D．No matter how much a cat eats, it is always full of energy.
5．In which part of a newspaper may this passage appear
A．Travel. B．Animals. C．Culture. D．Health.
Jacky feels different these days. He isn’t as playful as usual and doesn’t like to talk much. Some of us may feel like Jacky sometimes. When unexpected things happen, we can feel like this. There are also some other things that can put us in bad moods. Here are some examples. We might feel bad if we’re not getting along well with our friends, or if we do poorly on an exam.

Valentine’s Day Card
Valentine’s Day is time to show special people in your life that you care about them. One way to mark the day is to give Valentine’s Day cards. Homemade cards can be especially fun to share because you can make your friends and family feel extra loved. Here’s how to get started.
Collect supplies (something available to be used) Instead of buying something new, start with what you already have at home. Look in your craft area for colorful paper, stickers, markers, ribbons, and glitter. You can also use recycled supplies, such as flyers you’ve gotten in the mail or colorful packaging from items you’ve purchased. Get elegantOnce you have your basic card and message, it’s time to layer on more shapes cut from paper. Use fun craft scissors (like waves or zigzags) to cut out hearts, stars, or other shapes of various sizes and glue them onto the card, either on top of one another or in different spots. If you like, you could even tape a small candy or toy to the card.
Start with a baseChoose a piece of thicker paper. You can pick a classic Valentine’s Day color, like pink or red, or any shade you prefer. Fold it in half to make a card with a front and an inside. Or cut the paper into a shape (like a heart) to make a flat card with designs on the front and back. Add a noteAfter you have the shape of your card ready, write a message on it. You can write a longer note about why you appreciate the person you’ re giving the card to, including an inside joke, or a Valentine’s Day saying. For example, you could write “Our friendship is blooming” and then decorate your card with flowers.
Fun facts about Valentine candy The first heart-shaped candy boxes were produced for Valentine’s Day in 1861. Conversation hearts, another popular candy for the holiday, were originally produced in 1800s. Although roses are popular gifts, 69% of Americans would prefer chocolates. In Japan, only women hand out chocolates or other gifts on Valentine’s Day. A month later, On March 14, it’s the men’s turn to give gifts to the women in their lives.
12．Valentine’s Day is celebrated to ________.
A．show love and care B．remember someone special
C．share delicious food D．welcome the new year
13．Which of the following is the right process to make a homemade card
A．make a base → collect supplies → get elegant → add a note
B．add a note → collect supplies → make a base → get elegant
C．get elegant → make a base → add a note → collect supplies
D．collect supplies → make a base → add a note → get elegant
14．The underlined word elegant is the closest in meaning to ________.

15．Conversation hearts were originally produced ________.

With easy access to cameras on mobile phones and other devices, many people take photos every day. Phone cameras have many fun features. You can add colors to the photos that make them artistic and full of life. Even with a wide variety of filters(滤镜) and features, it still takes skill to capture amazing pictures. With a few tips, you can improve your photos and follow in the steps of great photographers.
Tip 1 Choose your subject. It could be a landscape, people, animals or objects.
Tip 2 Keep your background simple with all white or black to make your subject standout.
Tip 3 Hold your camera steady. This may be harder than it seems, but don’t let shaky hands ruin your pictures.
Tip 4 Remember the rule of thirds. Imagine your picture is divided into three equal parts. Place the subject to the side rather than in the middle of the frame.
Tip 5 If you are taking nature shots, use leading lines to draw the viewer’s eye into the scene. Examples might be railway tracks, fences, or a row of trees.
Tip 6 Give your subject space to move. For example, if a dog is running across the lawn, frame the shot so that there is room in front of the animal for it to run into that empty space. Don’t cut it off too closely.

The digital industry is developing rapidly. There are over seven million jobs in the computer science and technology industries in the United States alone. Yet there is still a gender gap (性别差异) when it comes to women in technology. These women face many challenges (挑战) and 41% of them give up trying. So what can be done to close this gender gap
First, women need to be encouraged to enter the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), as well as computer science. It’s said that 74% of young women express interest in STEM subjects and computer science. However, women hold only 18% of undergraduate (本科) computer science degrees and 26% of technology jobs. Early education must convey (传递) technology as a tool that can be used to solve problems in real life.
Many young women are put off because they regard the technology as men’s job. Women are short of role models. Only 5% of tech leaders are women. They can play a huge role for young women by giving them encouragement, support and guidance. They can also help attract more women to get into the field. However, men working in the tech industry have a duty to listen to women and keep a comfortable work culture as well.
If we go on to empower (授权) women in the tech industry, it will be good for everyone.
30．What is the rate of women who give up trying in technology
A．5%. B．18%. C．26%. D．41%.
31．What is not included in STEM
A．Science. B．English. C．Technology. D．Mathematics.
32．Why are young women discouraged from working in technology industries
A．Because they regard the technology as men’s job.
B．Because there are many women role models in IT.
C．Because they are not interested in computer science.
D．Because technology is useless in solving real life problems.
33．What do men need to do
A．Be tech leaders. B．Replace women. C．Listen to women. D．Attract more men.
34．What is the passage about
A．Gender gap in IT. B．Computer Science. C．More Encouragement. D．Tech Work Culture.

Brittany Hawley graduated this weekend — but she didn’t cross the stage alone. Her loving golden retriever, Griflin, was right beside her to collect his very own honorary degree.
Brittany was diagnosed with CRPS at 16, which has made her unable to walk. She is now in a wheelchair. Brittany got Griflin through “paws4 prisons”, a program that teaches prisoners in West Virginia to train high-level assistance dogs. “They allow many dogs to come up to you and let the dog choose you,” she said. “Some dogs were scared of the wheelchair, Griffin jumped right into my lap and licked me across the face.”
Then the pair pursued 100 percent together a graduate degree in Occupational Therapy at Clarkson University attending all the same classes, lectures, research projects, etc. “Gnffin does a lot for me.” Brittany said, “including opening doors and turning on lights … If I fall, he’d get a person or a phone to help. But the most important is the comfort he provides when I feel painful.”
So when Brittany was honored with her master’s degree, Griffin was once again at her side — with an honorary degree of his own.
“I pushed from day one for Griffin to graduate with me.” Brittany said, “He did everything I did!”
The Board of Trustees honored the 4-year-old golden retriever at the ceremony, saying he’d shown great endeavour and loyalty to his owner. “I don’t like to be defined as a disabled person. I want to define myself.” said Brittany. “And my loyal dog would always be by my side in my journey.”
