A
It happened to be a beautiful summer afternoon, and Mr. Phillip was taking a walk in the downtown area of Paris, capital of France.
When he turned to a street corner, he heard the voice of a lovely French singer coming from a nearby restaurant. The sweet music attracted him, so he went into the restaurant to hear it better. Mr. Phillip sat down quietly at a table near the door. Noticing the waiter come over, he ordered a glass of French wine.
The waiter returned with the glass of wine and put it on the table. Mr. Phillip started drinking the wine slowly and watching other people in the restaurant. There were three customers sitting at a table near him. He could tell by their accents that one of them was an American, one an Englishman and the third man was a funny-looking stranger. The polite waiter served each of the three men a glass of beer. By chance, each glass had a fly in it.
Out of curiosity, Mr. Phillip watched carefully what they were going to do. To his amusement, he found that each of them took a quite different attitude. The American picked up his glass, took a hard look at the fly, and then poured the fly and half of his beer on the floor. The Englishman looked into the glass, noticed the fly and reached for a spoon, with which he took the fly out of the beer and drank the rest of it. And the stranger noticed the fly in the beer, picked it with his fingers, squeezed (挤压) it carefully in order to save every drop of beer, then drank it up.

A. have something to eat after the walk B. wait for a friend there

22. What can we infer about the restaurant where Mr. Phillip had a drink?

Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson. And I learned it in the back of a New York City taxi cab. Here’s what happened.
I got in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane (车道) when all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver used his brakes (车闸), the tires made a loud noise, and at the very last moment our car stopped just one inch (英寸) from the back of the other car.
I couldn’t believe it. But then I couldn’t believe what happened next. The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head around and he started yelling bad words at us. I couldn’t believe it!
And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call: “The Law of the Garbage Truck (垃圾车).” He said: But then here’s what really blew me away. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. So, I said: “Why did you just do that? This guy could have killed us!“Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they look for a place to dump (倾倒) it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you.“So one day when someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me. You’ll be happier.”
So I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the street? It was then that I said: “I don’t want their garbage and I’m not going to spread it anymore.”
I began to see Garbage Trucks. I see the load people are carrying. I see them coming to dump it. And like my taxi driver, I don’t take it personally. I just smile, wave, wish them well, and I move on.

More and more people are taking their iPads to bed with them to surf the web, check facebook or send e-mails before switching off the light. But researchers are warning that the blue light their screens give off can stop users getting a good night’s sleep. That is because this type of light is similar to daylight, convincing the brain that it is still daytime. Blue light prevents the production of a brain chemical called melatonin, which helps us fall asleep. By contrast, light which is more orange or red does not prevent melatonin production, perhaps because our brains recognize it as a cue that the day ends.
Scientists have known for years that staring at screens late in the evening can affect sleep--- they are television screens, computer screens or mobile phone screens. However, because mobiles and iPads are by nature portable --- not to say addictive --- more people are taking them into the bedroom. Users also tend to hold them much closer to their eyes than a computer or television screen.
Researchers are warning that looking at iPad displays for more than two hours leads to lower natural melatonin levels as the devices give off blue light. They say, “Turning off the devices at night is the final solution. But if you have to use these devices at night, dim the display to cut down irritation(刺激，激怒) of the eyes and limit the time you spend on them before bed.”
They wrote in the journal Applied Ergonomics(应用人类工程学) that iPad makers should adjust the spectral power distribution(光谱功率分布) of the devices so that they affect the sleep patterns of users less.
It is not just a good night’s sleep that could be harmed by too much late night screen time. Researchers know that long-term harm to sleep patterns can lead to an increased risk of obesity and even cancers.
32. Why does Blue light prevent iPad users from sleeping well? .
A. Because it can help decrease the production of melatonin
B. Because it is the same as daylight which keeps people awake
C. Because it makes the brain more active
D. Because it is brighter than light that is more orange or red
33. What does the underlined phrase “dim the display” mean? .
A. turn off the display B. keep away from the display
C. make the display less bright D. clean the display carefully
34. In the last paragraph, the author intends to ________ .
A. show how sleep is harmed by using iPads too much
B. warn of the seriousness of long-term poor sleep
C. call on researchers to study sleep patterns
D. show the danger of obesity and cancers
35. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Looking at screens of iPads increase chances of sleeplessness.
B. Scientists are warning that blue light is bad for our health.
C. People should limit the use of electronic devices
D. Using iPads before bed can cause a poor night’s sleep.

I’m sorry to hear that you have such a difficult problem. In your letter, you said you have some difficulties in learning English. This is a normal problem that every student could suffer, so I think I can give you some useful suggestions.
My suggestions are as follows. Firstly, you should keep an optimistic attitude to it. Secondly, the best way to learn English is reading, such as reading the words and sentences everyday to have a better understanding. Thirdly, you can speak and discuss English with your classmates and teachers, which can improve your listening and speaking abilities. Last but not least, what’s the most important is that you can try your best to develop your interest in English, as we all know, interest is the best teacher. I do hope my suggestions will be helpful for you.
Best wishes.
