2. When counting down the days until homecoming, some women choose to track paydays, school days, or Mondays. Me? I always counted trash days. Each time I rolled the green, heavy bin down the driveway, I considered it one of the most intolerable jobs of a Navy wife.
Occasionally, a neighbor would take pity on me and replace my trashcan back to the side of the house after the garbage men were done with it. And once, when I had maggots in the bottom of the bin, a few men from the neighborhood were nice enough to dispose of them and Clorox, the trashman, did not tell me about the whole incident until a year later.
“It takes a village to do Sarah’s trash,” one neighbor, Stanford, joked. “And sometimes it also takes a village to change Sarah’s flat tire, to kill big bugs in her living room, and to fetch her son’s toy airplane that landed on the roof.” Hearing his words, I wondered if I wasn’t being strong enough and if I shouldn’t take my title of “Navy dependent” so literally as to mean I was, well, dependent.
“Don’t be silly,” my neighbors would say. “We’re glad to help.” More than hanging a flag from their doors, they said helping a Navy family made them feel like they were doing their part.
Surprisingly to me, despite doing my lawn every week and occasionally my trash and home repairs, these neighbors often told me I was far from “dependent”. Instead of focusing on the things I was not doing myself, my neighbors were in awe at the things I had done alone. And most of these things (caring for sick babies in the middle of the night, dealing with emergencies), I had done without my realizing it or giving myself credit.
I learned that being strong and independent doesn’t necessarily mean doing it all. There are few people who can do everything themselves. Most people are eager to offer help, which they think rewarding. So don’t decline help.

A．Proud. B．Lighthearted. C．Annoyed. D．Ashamed.
2. Why were the neighbors willing to help the author?
A．The author was easy to get along with.
B．They felt like they were doing something for Navy.
C．The author was incapable of doing any housework.
D．The housework in the author’s house was easy to do.
3. What kind of a person was the author in her neighbours’ eyes?
A．Respectable. B．Dull. C．Generous. D．Dependent.
4. What does the author convey in the last paragraph?
A．Every man has his hobbyhorse. B．A constant guest is never welcome.
C．Accepting help brings happiness to helpers. D．Being strong and independent contributes to success.
3. When thinking about sleep and its relationship to the senses, most people think of sight, sound, and touch. Few immediately think of smell. While it might not be as immediately apparent, smell can directly affect sleep. The connections between smell and sleep are subject to the continuing research.
Learning more about what has been discovered so far provides opportunities to make the bedroom environment favor quality sleep.
Smell and sleep have a bidirectional relationship. Sleep can affect the sense of smell. One factor that influences the sense of smell is the circadian rhythm, which is known for how it promotes sleeping during the night and wakefulness during the day. Sensitivity to smell can change throughout the day, and lower sensitivity at night helps encourage sleep. Smell can also affect sleep, including how long it takes to fall asleep, overall sleep quality and quantity.
Distinct smells may do a lot of good regarding sleep. Because of the power of the sense of smell, certain fragrances (芬芳) may contribute to better sleep, some of which promote relaxation that makes it easier to fall asleep and feel well rested the next day.
Despite the aromatherapy (芳香疗法) for sleep, there is no guaranteed fragrance that will help everyone wake up, but the research has highlighted a few fragrances that may be beneficial. Drinking coffee is one of the most popular pick-me-ups, but not everyone likes the flavor or wants to consume caffeine. Another option may be just breathing in the smell of coffee without drinking it.
The research has also found that external stimulating factors during sleep, including smells, can affe
ct dreams. Positively associated smells promoted more positive dreams while unpleasant smells increased negative dreams.
Memories are strengthened during sleep. In a study of school children, they were exposed to a specific fragrance while awake and learning new words. Then, they were exposed to that same fragrance during sleep. It turned out that memory recall on a vocabulary test the next day was improved.
1. What impact will the research bring about?
A．Creating a good visual effect for bedrooms.
B．Balancing senses while trying to fall into sleep.
C．Improving sleep in an appropriate bedroom environment.
D．Encouraging experts to conduct further study on environment.
2. What does the underlined part “circadian rhythm” in paragraph 2 probably refer to? A．Sleeping medicine. B．Biological clock.
C．Sleeping environment. D．Mental state.
3. Why does the author mention coffee?
A．To highlight its side effects. B．To encourage people to drink it.
C．To instruct how to pick right flavors. D．To show its smell can make people refresh.
4. What does the study of school children imply?
A．Adequate sleep benefits children’s health.
B．Smell helps memory formation during sleep.
C．Fragrances in bedrooms determine exam results.
D．Memory at night is better than that during the day.
4. It was a sight you don’t normally see: a jellyfish lying dead in the middle of a parking lot partly flooded in water. But this was no ordinary parking lot. This particular section downtown Annapolis, Maryland, is among a growing number of areas easily affected by frequent high-tide flooding in the s
easide town.
High-tide floods, also known as sunny-day floods, occur when tides reach anywhere from 1.75 to 2 feet above the daily average high tide and start spilling onto streets. These floods are usually not related to storms.They typically occur during high tides. The
gravitational pull of the Moon drives the tides. Winds can also influence how high the tides come in. Then there are the climate patterns like El Nino (厄尔尼诺现象), which lead to higher-than-normal sea levels along both the U. S. East and West coasts. And, of course, the most powerful driver is sea level rise itself. Because of rising seas driven by climate change, the frequency of this kind of flood has dramatically increased in recent years. The ocean is rising at about 3.3 millimeters, or 0.13 inches a year, mostly due to the melting of land-based ice and the heated expansion of ocean water, according to NASA.
Defenses are built in response to the high-tide floods. Half a mile up the road from Downtown Annapolis, the U. S. Naval Academy is beating back water: a seawall built alongside the river, flood walls protecting campus buildings, and classroom floors and walls made of concrete or painted cinder block — materials more resistant to flooding than carpet, wood and drywall.
Still, David Kriebel, a professor of ocean engineering at the U. S. Naval Academy, said, the water is rising fast, and much of this flood protection will only last for a few decades. At that point, additional measures will have to be taken. “You can build walls, you can add inflow preventers and you can protect areas that are worth protecting, but eventually, water’s going to find its way through the holes,” he said. “You’re not really meant to hold hack the tides.”
1. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A．To introduce the main topic. B．To share an unusual finding.
C．To warn people to protect animals. D．To make a phenomenon convincing. 2. Which of the following contributes most to the increase of high-tide floods? A．Winds. B．Climate change.
C．Moon’s gravity.D．Certain climate patterns.
3. What does David Kriebel feel about the situation in a few decades?
A．Curious. B．Uncertain. C．Confident. D．Worried.
4. What’s the suitable title for the text?
A．The Future World: Worth the Wait B．Climate Crisis: Solutions on the Way
C．Rising Waters: Beating Back the Tides D．Downtown Annapolis: Emerged under Water
