6．Why People Get Tattoos
Jack lay，quiet and unmoving，for thirty minutes while a stranger repeatedly stabbed （刺） him with sharp needles，causing blood to pour steadily out of his leg．Jack was getting a tattoo．His friend Tony had recently gotten a tattoo，and Jack was so impressed by it that he decided to get one too．Peer pressure，media influence，and personal expression are some of the common reasons for wearing tattoos today．
The desire to be accepted by one's friends or peers can have a great influence on what a person does．Sometimes，wearing a tattoo can be a sign that you belong to a certain group．Gangs often use special clothes and tattoos to identify their particular group．Some of these groups wear only brand-name clothes．Others wear tattoos．When a person's friends are all doing something，that person in more likely to do the same thing．
The media is another big influence behind the popularity of tattoos in North America．A wide variety of media images（人物，圖象） show tattoos-people appearing in commercials selling expensive cars，famous sports heroes with tattoos in magazines，fashion models wearing designer clothes that show their bodies tattooed with detailed and colourful patterns．These media images link tattoos to ideas of wealth，success，and status．As a result，many people decide to get a tattoo for its fashion and status value．
Many people decide to wear tattoos in order to express their artistic nature，their beliefs，or their feelings-in other words，to show their individuality（個性）．A musician in a rock band may get a tattoo of a guitar on the arm．Some environmentalists may tattoo pictures of endangered animals on their shoulders．A tattoo can be a public sign to show what is important in a person's life．
As you can see，there are many reasons why young North Americans get tattoos．A tattoo can be part of a group's uniform，a sign of fashion．or an expression of individuality．The decision to get a tattoo is most often a result of the influence of friends or media or the desire to express oneself．For Jack，it was a mixture of all three．

17．Dear Mr．King，
I'm Bob Watson，one of the customers in your grocery store．I'm writing to express my idea about your goods．
Your Supermart is outstanding in many ways．First I enjoy the selection of produce and fresh bakery items．Second your low prices and excellent customer service keep me coming back to Supermart．I have found，however，that I must make a separate shopping trip to one of your competitors because there are many items your store does not carry．This becomes inconvenient for me，as my time is valuable，and I don't like to make two trips．I have been a long time Supermart shopper and hope to continue for many years．If I could find all the items I need in one place，I would be a more satisfied customer．
Specifically，I have never been able to purchase nacho cheese soup at your store．I can find other flavors （味道） of soup，but your store does not carry nacho cheese soup，a common ingredient （原料） in many of my recipes．In addition，I can only find large wonton wrappers，while many other stores carry both large and small and offer a more varied selection for their customers．Another example is Regent Brand Chili Seasoning．Though it is not a leading brand，it is still common on the shelves of other grocery stores in this area and is superior in flavor to its competitors．
I sincerely hope to continue a relationship with your store，and I hope that you will consider the possibility of expanding your goods to be more competitive．
Yours truly，
Bob Watson

1．It is common to have difficulties sleeping during the day．Humans are naturally wired to sleep best at night and be awake during the day．However，modern work schedules require some people to try to accommodate the unnatural schedule of shift（輪班）work-being awake at night and sleeping during the day．
In order to make this adjustment，you need to pay special attention to your sleep environment and your preparation for sleep．If shift work is a necessary part of your work life，here are some suggestions that may help．
Arrange to sleep uninterrupted in a quiet，dark room．This means you may have to turn off or unplug your phone，hang darkening curtains on the windows or wear a sleep eye mask，and train your family and friends to leave you alone while you sleep．
Fit in a nap（小睡）．When your daytime sleep period is too short，taking a short nap of less than 30 minutes just before work or on a break has been shown to improve alertness and enhance performance．
Develop and follow a sleep routine．It's best if you go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day．Try not to vary this too much on weekends．Your body likes routine．
Take extra care to make healthy choices．You may be tempted to reach for unhealthy foods or nicotine to stay awake or alcohol to try to sleep．But ultimately these choices are more harmful than helpful．
If you have tried all these things and are still having problems getting enough quality sleep during the day，talk to your doctor or a sleep specialist．Sometimes medications（藥物治療）may be helpful and safe．In other cases，there may be an underlying sleep disorder that needs to be addressed．
72．The purpose of the text is toD．
A．persuade workers to have a god sleep．
B．a(chǎn)dvise night workers to keep healthy
C．encourage workers to do day work
D．help night workers to sleep well
73．What does the author recomusend？B
A．A suitable account of alcohol to help sleep．
B．A regular life on weekday's and weekends．
C．A dark room without phoebes to sleep in．
D．A break for sleeping anytime during the day．
74．On which condition should a person turn to a sleep specialist for help？C
A．If he suffers from a sleep disorder for the first time．
B．If a good sleep environment is greatly needed for him．
C．If he falls to get quality sleep through his own efforts．
D．If he has the problem of bailing to sleep in the daytime．
75．We can learn from the test thatD．
A．night workers need a long time to fall asleep
B．constant breaks at work help to improve performance
C．it is difficult to create a good sleep environment
D．night work requires people to adjust their body clocks．

15．Even the hardest days contain lessons that will help you be a better person，F(xiàn)eeling down？Consider these things to remember when you're having a bad day．
No one promised life would he perfect．If you look for perfection，you'11never be  content．Don't condition your happiness on meeting every expectation you set for yourself．It is good to be ambitious，but you'11never be perfect．If you expect otherwise，your life will be filled with disappointments．
Success doesn't happen overnight． Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit．Don't kid yourself into thinking success will come quickly．It isn't easy to be patient．But anything worth doing requires time．If you get frustrated，remind yourself why your goal is important．
There is a lesson in every struggle．And once the storm is over，you won't remember how you made it through or how you managed to survive．But one thing is certain．When you come out of the storm，you won t be the same person who walked in．That's what this storm's all about．Don't complain about how terrible your life is．If you search for the lesson in your present struggle，you'11be able in make positive changes that would prevent similar situations in the future．
Without hard times，you wouldn'l appreciate the good ones．Strength does not come from winning．Your struggles develop your strengths．When you go through hardships and decide not to give in，that is strength．It is hard to find much to smile about when you fail，but how else would you improve yourself？If you look at failure as part of your evolutionary process，you'11stay positive and pursue your goals for as long as it takes．

24．Which is the best title of this passage？D
A．Every person has to go through hard times．
B．We can learn a 1ot from our struggles．
