Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep or sleep restfully．It is a problem to nearly everyone at some time ．A person may be awake for an hour in the middle of the night and then , next morning, feel that he hardly sleep all night Normally, worry about not getting enough sleep is the worst aspect of most insomnia．If insomnia is recurrent, however, it is important to find its causes and try to correct them, with the help of a doctor if necessary．
Any of a large number of simple factors may take it difficult for someone to fall asleep or remain asleep．His matters may be too soft or too hard．If there are too many blankets on a hot night, he may be too warm; if the bedclothes are too light he may feel cold during the night．If it is not dark enough, or too noisy, this may cause difficulty in sleeping．Eating shortly before going to bed also be responsible for insomnia．Stimulating drinks, such as tea or coffee, can also keep people awake．
Inability to fall asleep is sometimes a symptom of emotional or mental disorders．Insomnia may also be caused by pain and, very rarely, it can be a symptom of a physical disease．
The cause of insomnia may be easy to correct．The sufferer should check the mattress, bedclothes and bedroom temperature, and make any necessary changes．An eye mask keeps out the night and ear-plugs shut out sound．He should relax for an hour or two before bedtime, perhaps by reading a book; watching TV, or taking a warm bath．If he wakes during the night he should try turning on the light and reading for a while．Taking warm milk and a biscuit or two may be helpful．Above all, he should try not to worry about sleeplessness when someone is tied enough he nearly always falls asleep．
If necessary, a doctor may prescribe tranquillizers or sleeping pills．Take only the dosage he prescribes; any more is dangerous．

Traditionally, customers may consider more about what they buy the product for. However, the image of product and the consuming circumstance have become the key points to attract customer awareness and stimulate(刺激) their buying needs. Frequently, customers buy goods just because they are cute, lovely and unique. With a less emphasis on functional utilities, the experience and imaginative space are placed into an increasingly important role. The image of product is emphasized, as well as the communication between products and consumers. “Customer  behavior, which appears to be focused and directed at the object and at pleasure, in fact responds to quite different objectives: displaced expression of desire, and the production of a code of social values through the use of differential signs”(Baudrillard) . The reason for image-oriented customer behavior is probably that customers’ lifestyle has been continuously virtualized by paying much attention to “Virtual Reality”. The evidences can be traced from computer games and Hollywood movies, in which customers’ preference for fleeing reality is perfectly matched.
This change requires us to take efforts to improve product image by integrating(綜合) style, color, taste, shape and material, and communicate with customers creatively, imaginatively and innovatively, and enable them to enjoy the distinctive experience image brings. “[A] need is not a need for a particular object as much as it is a ‘need’ for difference” (Baudrillard). The typical example is Apple Computer’s IMAC, which has strong visual impact and outstanding dynamics. By this way, customer relationship can be set up through image, and brand can be treated as living that can transform people. Other examples commonly used are Disney Fairyland and Las Vegas, where new experience and imagination are fully demonstrated. In sum, consumption is negotiation, a never-ending conversation held in the languages of advertising, packaging, branding, fashion, and entertainment.

Dr．Sylvia Earle wants you to stop eating fish．It’s not because fish are endangered, though wild fish stocks in many oceans are very low．It’s not because they’re bad for you, though fish in many areas are exposed to poisonous substances in the water．It’s because they’re smart．
“Fish are sensitive, they have personalities,” says the marine biologist．For Earle, eating a fish would be like eating a dog or a cat．“I would never eat anyone I know personally.”
There’s a lot more to fish than meets the eye: they talk to each other, they like to be touched, and they engage in behavior that can seem very human．They can remember things and learn from experience．Earle and a growing number of animal rights activists see these as strong arguments against eating fish altogether．
The activists also point out that fish feel pain and fish suffer horribly on their way from the sea to the supermarket．“While it may seem obvious that fish are able to feel pain, like every other animal, some people think of fish as swimming vegetables,” says Dr．Lynne Sneddon．“Really, it’s kind of a moral question．Is the enjoyment you get from fishing (or eating fish) more important than the pain of the fish?”
Fishermen and (fried) fish lovers are doubtful．“I’ve never seen a smart fish,” says Marie Swaringen as she finishes off a plate of fish at a Seattle seafood restaurant．“If they were very smart,
they wouldn’t get caught.”
“For years, everyone’s been telling us to eat fish because it’s so good for us,” says another diner．“Now I’ve got to feel guilty while I’m eating my fish? What are they going to think of next? Don’t eat salad because cucumbers have feelings?”
64．Dr．Sylvia Earle discourage people from eating fish because _____________.
A．there are not that many wild fish in the ocean
B．fish actually are sensitive and have personalities
C．some ocean fish contain poisonous substances
D．fish are like dogs or cats that people know personally
65．We can infer from the passage that _____________.
A．a(chǎn)ll people don’t agree with the idea to stop eating fish
B．people will be persuaded not to eat fish in the future
C．stopping eating fish will lead to people’s not eating vegetables
D．we shouldn’t care too much about the feeling of fish
66．By saying “There’s a lot more to fish than meets the eye,” the writer means ____________.
A．there are far more fish than other animals in the world
B．there are more fish in the world than people can see
C．people can see more fish if they pay more attention
D．fish are not that simple as they appear to people’s eyes
67．What is the writer’s attitude towards people eating fish?
A．Neutral.    B．Indifferent.      C．Approving.      D．Opposed．

It was here that he met a mulatto （白黑混血）child who was ignored by the Africans and the whites. This was a sourced of inspiration for his play, “Mulatto”.
