An unusual thing happened to me a few years ago. I spoke casually with a woman who served tables at a restaurant. We knew each other by first name only, but usually chatted for a few minutes each time I ate there.
“Do you have a son about eight years old?” One day, she asked me.
“What has he done?” As a mother, I thought it for a while out of my child’s safety. Then I nodded yes.
“Does he play soccer?” She went on asking.
When I said that he did, she asked if he played in a game the previous week at a particular field. Again, I answered yes.
“I thought so,” she smiled, “I saw him and thought he must be your son.”
“I didn’t know he looked that much like me!” I was amazed and said since there were tens of thousands of young boys in the city.
“Oh, I didn’t see his face,” she said, smiling as if she were keeping a secret.
“Then how did you know he was my son?” Now I was puzzled.
“I was just siting in the car, and I saw a little boy in a baseball cap walking across the field to join his team. He walks like you.”
Walks like me? Now I was curious. How do I walk? Perhaps I can’t help how I walk down a street, but I want to know how I walk through life.
Through life, I want to walk gently. I want to treat all of life: the earth and its people with admiration. I want to walk lightly, even joyfully, through whatever days I am given. I want to laugh easily. And throughout life, I think I would like to walk with more modesty and less anger, more love and less fear. If life is a journey, then how I make that journey is important, but still I wonder how I look when I walk down a street.
1.How did the author feel when she heard the woman’s first question?
A. Angry. B. Proud.
C. Worried. D. Understanding.
2.How did the woman know that the boy was the author’s son?
A. By his age. B. By his face.

B. The woman worked in a restaurant.
C. The author’s son didn’t like the woman.
D. The author didn’t believe in the woman.

To help someone fall asleep, you must first consider the type of environment that would be ideal for rest, You should start by trying to create the perfect atmosphere for sleep.
Comfortable Sleeping Temperature
The National Sleep Foundation suggests that the temperature to encourage sleep should be somewhere near 18 degrees, which is cooler than the average（平均的）room temperature for most homes. It is just cool enough to need a cover, but keep in mind that the “right” temperature for sleep can be different from person to person.
Consider Sound in the Room
Sound can affect people in different ways. Some prefer total silence and the slightest noises will keep them awake. On the other hand, some people can sleep better if there is a settled sound, such as a fan running or light music. People who like a surrounding sound may also enjoy a sleep sound machine that can provide various noises, such as gentle rainfall or low, classical music;
Create the Right Lighting
Light is one of the most important outside basics that can affect sleep. Light can trick your mind into believing that it is time to be awake. If you are trying to put someone to sleep, it is usually best to get rid of light in the room as much as possible. Hang heavy curtains over natural light sources, close the door to the bedroom, and try to avoid using a lamp or bright nightlight. Some people do sleep better if there is a weak light source that provides just enough illumination to make out surroundings as it makes them feel safe.
Make Creative Use of Movement
While most people only think of movement to help a small child sleep, repeated movement or swing may help a full-grown adult. For a less expensive choice, an indoor hammock（吊床）can be used to provide light movement while someone is going to sleep.
1.What’s the best temperature for sleep?
A. A little higher than indoor temperature.
B. A little lower than outdoor temperature.

Beer is one of the world’s most popular drinks. One of beer’s most important ingredients（成分）is water. Beer makers say you need up to five liters（升）of water to make one liter of beer. If water becomes limited, then, will people have to stop making beer? Beer makers have already thought of that possibility. So, in some cities, people are testing out beers made from collected and filtered rainwater.
They are also collecting rainwater and water from the beer-making process for use inside the beer factory. Sierra Nevada is a well-known beer factory in California. It uses rainwater for cleaning and washing toilets. Beer makers understand the importance of saving water. If there is no water, there is no beer.
That is why Stone Beer Company, near San Diego, California, worked with a local water treatment program to make beer. The program is called Pure Water San Diego. It wants to provide one-third of the city’s water by 2035.
Working with Pure Water, the beer factory used purified water that came from wastewater. Wastewater is water that has already been used for showers, washing dishes or toilets.
Stone is a large beer factory. It has customers across the U.S. and Europe. Some of their beers are among the best in the United States. So it was a big deal when Stone released a special beer called Full Circle Pale Ale in March. Many websites and newspapers wrote about the beer. They reported that it was made from “toilet water.” Local television stations recorded people's reactions as they tasted the beer.
Stone later wrote a blog post saying it was not happy with all of the news coverage-especially reports that centered on the idea of “toilet water.” But it was happy that the experiment was a success.
The beer was only made for a special event. Stone Beer is not permitted to sell in stores or at the restaurants.
1.Why do some beer makers use rainwater to make beer?
A. To try new sources of water.
B. To make special taste for beer.
C. To reduce the cost of production.
D. To give up pure water in production.
2.What did Stone Beer Company want Pure Water San Diego to do?
A. Help it to develop new kind of beer.
B. Supply the majority of water to the city.
C. Make waste water clean enough to make beer.
D. Deal with its waste water from the beer production process..
3.What do we know about the special beer?
A. It was welcomed by the public.
B. Few people dared to taste it.
C. It will be sold in large quantities.
D. It received great attention from the media.
4.What did Stone Beer Company think of the reports about the beer?
A. They are satisfying. B. They are disappointing.
C. They are surprising. D. They are beneficial.
