Appeal to Emotion（情感）

My childhood left three months ago on a plane to Austria．

It was a day when my baby cousins moved away．My cousins were a fundamental part of my life; they were not with me，they were on my mind．They brought back the untroubled days of my childhood， games，adventures and silliness，but they also helped me from an at-times selfish teenager into a responsible adult．

My aunt and uncle moved here from Boston with their 1-year-old daughter Yasmeen．They lived in an apartment on the side of our house and I was to have our family，especially a baby girl，so close to us．Yasmeen had close friendships with each of my sisters，but I knew the one that between us was the strongest．As she began to walk on her own and talk in full sentences，I realized my great upon her．I noticed that she’d some of my unpleasant actions， with her mother after I had done the same．Yasmeen made me realize what being a good really was．

When Maya was born，Yasmeen had a hard time ．She was jealous（妒忌）of the attention we all paid to her new younger sister，so I did my best to keep her company when she might have not been ．Once Yasmeen overcame her jealousy，she was able to Maya’s presence，like we all did．I tried to take advantage of our times together，doing my best to my schedule for my two favorite people．

My with Yasmeen and Maya has taught me the importance of influential people．I know that I have helped Yasmeen and Maya ，but “the babies” have had an even greater influence on my own life．They have shown me how to be a parent，a sister，a child，and most importantly，a friend．Our has made me a better person—a more patient person，with the ability to endless questions and spilled（灑）juice; an person，able to have fun and be happy with others; a role model， the babies ideas about right and wrong，and a compassionate person，able to forgive and love．

This is a story told or read to children of young ages．The heroine（女主人公）, Cinderella, treated cruelly by her stepmother and her two ugly stepsisters, is helpless until the right magic comes along．She meets her prince and they live together happily．

Just a sweet, pretty tale? Not in the view of Ellen Macintosh, who has written much about fairy tales．Ellen' s main concern is with what the story implies．

"Instead of standing up to her cruel stepmother and stepsisters, Cinderella just waits for a fairy godmother to appear and solve her problem．But wouldn't you want a daughter of yours to show more spirit?"

The story is long lasting, whatever its shortcomings, and it does' t take much to see its influence on a number of recent Hollywood productions．In these versions for the silver screen, the Cinderella character no longer has to clean the house and has no sisters to make her life terrible, though she keeps the way of not showing much courage．The character of the rich and handsome stranger, however, is kept, and in some cases really is a prince．The role of the fairy godmother is often played by luck; we live in a civilized age when even very young children might reject the idea of fairies．In the majority of film versions, the heroine has a profession and is even permitted to continue working after marrying her prince this is the twenty first century, after all．

Doesn't the success of these films indicate that the story has relevance to children even today?” Yes,, admits Ellen, who sees its message as being rooted in a fundamental childhood desire for love and attention．" Most children experience a sense of inner loneliness as they are growing up and empathize with （與…共鳴）the character who faces some sort of challenge．This can be seen in the original story of Cinderella, where the fairy godmother tells the heroine that she must learn to be gracious and confident if she is to go to the ball．She has to grow spiritually, and by maturing, she becomes attractive to the prince, thus ensuring that the ending of the story will be happy．" "In the later versions, thus element（因素）is missing," says Ellen, " and the theme of the story is simply that a girl' s role in life is to be more beautiful than other girls so that she can carry off the prize: the handsome prince．Is this really what we want girls to grow up believing?"

1.Why does Ellen disapprove of the Cinderella story?

A．The plot is too simple．

B．The description is not vivid．

C．The heroine is not brave enough．

D．The story is unfit for the children today．

2.In the film versions of the Cinderella story,_________．

A．luck plays an important role in the heroine' s happy life

B．Cinderella’s family background remains unchanged

C．the heroine becomes a successful career woman

D．the character of the prerace is removed．

3.According to Even, the film versions of the story _________

A．succeed because of the happy ending

B．ignore the children's psychological need'

C．deliver a mistaken message that beauty is everything

D．reflect modem people' s attitude towards challenges in life

4.What is the purpose of the passage?

A．To analyze the characters of the Cinderella story．

B．To introduce different versions of the Cinderella story．

C．To explain the changes of the Cinderella story over time．

D．To present a different understanding of the Cinderella story．

Lights Out at Bedtime

There are plenty of good reasons to power up a personal desktop or laptop computer in the evening — writing e-mails，chatting on social networks or making purchases over the Internet，for instance．But various studies indicate that people who stare at a PC’s bright monitor shortly before going to bed probably sleep less soundly than they would otherwise because the light seriously affects their natural wake-sleep cycle．"They haven't proved it though，" says Dieter Kunz，the team's director at Charite's Psychiatric Clinic in St．Hedwig's Hospital in Berlin．

Similarly，exposure to just 10 minutes of normal bathroom lighting is enough to free the sleep hormone melatonin，which regulates people's natural wake-sleep cycle and makes them sleepy at nightfall．

Ten years ago，a team of British and American researchers detected a photo-pigment（光敏色素） in the human eye that signals to the body whether it is day or night，summer or winter．The photo-pigment is especially sensitive to blue light．

"The blue light more or less tells the body，'It's daytime，be awake，'" Kunz says．Monitors have a mostly cold white light content and scientists suspect the photo-pigment may react similarly to it．So the longer people look into the bright light，the more awake they become - and then sleep poorly．

A lot of people have difficulty "switching off" in the evening．About half of the women in Germany and a quarter of the men sleep poorly．

Environmental factors are only one of the possible causes．Job stress as well as personal and health concerns are also the main reasons for their sleep problems．

In addition，electronic objects' standby lights and indicator lamps can be annoying in the dark and affect sleep．"Sound scientific evidence is still lacking on this matter，" Kunz notes．

According to Kunz，those who cannot go without their computer in the evening should turn down the blue content if possible and lower the brightness somewhat．"But nobody does that because，after all，you want to concentrate while working at the computer and the light helps the brain．"

1.The passage is mainly about ____________．

A．natural wake-up cycles

B．the effect of light on sleep

C．personal and health concerns

D．functions of computer monitors

2.The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 2 refers to_____．

A．normal bathroom lighting

B．10-minute exposure to lighting

C．the release process of a chemical

D．a chemical affecting one’s sleep cycle

3.We can learn from the passage that ______．

A．the blue light has a calming effect．

B．the photo-pigment tells people day or night

C．women in Germany use computers more often than men

D．it has been proved that standby lights affect people’s sleep

I am writing to ask for whether you are able to do me a favor. I want to have a pen pal, hopefully a girl in the early twenties, and with interests similarly to mine. In my mind, he is someone interesting in traveling, swimming, and playing table tennis. Beside, it will be better for her to have a pet dog as I have been keeping one at home for some time. With such pen pal, I hope I can share with her my experiences in traveling, taking care of pets, or whichever we have in common. I believed I will improve my English by doing so and learning more about her country. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
