Believe it or not, that decision could make a world of difference in the rest of your day.About 85 percent of Americans use an alarm clock to wake up in the mornings, according to sleep researcher Till Roennenber. And while there are no official numbers on snoozing (打盹), a quick survey of social media makes it clear that hitting the snooze button is a popular pastime.As to how the snooze button will affect your day, scientists have mixed opinions. Some scientists think people who hit the snooze button in the mornings are actually clever, creative and happy while some said that hitting the snooze button will ruin your life, or at the very least your day. “I feel that hitting the snooze button has got to be one of the worst things that ever happened to human sleep, researcher Jonathan Horowitz said. “The chances of you snoozing and actually experiencing a meaningful rest are close to zero.According to some sleep experts, when hitting the snooze button, you are in fact confusing your body and mind, and throwing yourself into a deep state of being sleepy. The body needs some time to wake up, so, when returning to what will be a light sleep for a brief period of time, you are putting your body back into a sleep mode (模式) before waking it again. At that point your body wont know what it wants, resulting in a sort of half awaken state.If you really want to take advantage of an alarm clock, the key is to form a healthy sleep cycle. Focus your efforts on getting enough sleep each night and waking up at the same time each day so that when your alarm goes off you feel rested.14. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1? A.

People will have a meaningful rest.D. People will become more creative.17. The authors suggestion on getting the best out of alarms is _.A. using an extra alarmB. trying to relax ourselvesC. making use of willpowerD. forming a good sleep habitCFacial recognition is becoming increasingly common in China, where it has been installed at ATM machines and KFC restaurants. Now the technology has arrived in university classrooms to track student attendance. Shen Hao, a professor with Communication University of China, is using facial recognition in his six courses to keep track of the attendance of more than 300 students. Before every class, Shen activates a new attendance system installed on his tablet computer. Students stand in front of the screen one by one to have their photos taken and matched with those in the schools database. The system is based on facial recognition technology from Chinese Internet giant Baidus open AI platform. Currently, the platform has offered more than 80 different technological services to the public, helping program developers like Shen to develop their own applications. “The traditional way of tracking attendance is through a roll call. The new system saves time and reduces the workload of teachers, said Shen. Students have joked that facial recognition is harsh as it doesnt allow for skipping classes. “But they support the technology to enter colleges, said Cui Yuqin, a student majoring in data journalism with the university. Chinas Forward-looking Industry Institute said that the facial recognition market in China surpassed 1 billion yuan (about 150 million U.S. dollars) in 2022 and is expected to hit 5.1 billion yuan by 2021. Facial recognition technology has already been put to creative use. Beijings Temple of Heaven has used it in toilets to deter toilet paper theft. In east Chinas Jinan, traffic police installed facial scanners at intersections to catch and shame jaywalkers, and a Beijing university has used the technology to guard its dorms. Still, if you see one, stay away!18. What are the advantages of using facial recognition in college courses? a. It makes it difficult for students to skip classes.b.

You may go to a restaurant and order a nice meal. But your order is wrong or not cooked properly. You may buy a wrong product that breaks the next day. _21_ However, if you speak angrily to people, they will become defensive.
