Does this sound familiar? It’s 3:00 am and you’re still awake and staring at the clock. You can’t sleep , and you’ve already tried all the familiar tricks – taken a warm bath , drunk a glass of heated milk ,tried counting sheep, and read a book –all with no success. If you are such a sufferer, remember you’re not alone. Experts said that one in every four Americans have trouble falling or staying asleep.

Lack of sleep can hurt your quality of life in so many ways. Short temper, impatience, poor decision-making, and mood swings are common among those with sleeping problems. Besides, relationships with family, friends, and co-workers may suffer as a result. Improper sleep can also put your safety at risk by reducing your awareness.

When you’re awake in the middle of the night, you can start to feel desperate for a way out . However, it makes sense to weigh the available treatments before choosing the one that’s right for you. Other sleep aids may seem like a quick fix, but it turns out that there are many disadvantages of these drugs. For one thing, they may require expensive, time-consuming trips to your physician. They may also be habit-forming or have unpleasant side effects like dizziness( 眩暈) dry mouth, and next-day sleepiness. Plus , they become less effective over time.

So what is the best sleep aid available on the market today? The answer is Somnapure , a product that represents nature and science coming together. This all-natural sleep aid which comes from Peak Life allows you to fall asleep quickly and remain asleep through the night . With Somnapure, you wake up feeling refreshed and energetic. Somnapure is currently giving away a 14-day trial here. Get your Somnapure trial for better, deeper sleep that you deserve.

A．easy to make a sufferer lonely

B．common but hard to deal with

C．severe throughout the world

D．widespread only in the USA

2.The underlined words“ a quick fix”(in paragraph3)most probably means____.

A．a waste of money

B．a quick repair

C．an easy way out

D．a cheap aid

3.The purpose of the passage is to _______.

A．ask people with sleep problems to try and use Somnapure

B．introduce a kind of medicine to help sleep better

C．draw people’s attention to the bad effects of the lack of sleep

D．talk about what the main causes of the sleep problems are

閱讀下面的短文,然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
                                                           Growing Good Corn
      There was a Nebraska farmer who grew award-winning corn. Each year he entered the district's
farming competition where his corn always came out on top and won the blue ribbon.
      One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he
grew it. To his great surprise, the reporter discovered that each year the farmer shared his corn seed
with his neighbors.
      "Why do you share your best seed with your neighbors when they are competing against you?"
the reporter asked. The farmer's reply made everything clear.
       "Why sir, said the farmer, "didn't you know? The wind will blow corn pollen (花粉) from field
to field. If my neighbors grow poor corn, it will affect the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good
corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn."
     His corn cannot improve unless his neighbors' corn also improves. And so it is in life. If we
co-operate and help each other out, life can get better for everyone, and the benefits can be shared
by all. But if we think only of ourselves, our selfishness will not only hurt others but it may come back
to hurt us.
