Gratitude is how you relate to others, when you see yourself in connection with things larger than yourself.Last year, I felt compelled (强迫的)to bake cookies for complete strangers to say “thank you”. However, what occurred later changed my view about it. One day, I had to call 999 because I found my partner unconscious on the floor. Within minutes, a police car and an ambulance arrived, filled with first responders who took my partner away to the nearest hospital, where he received the critical care he needed.A week later, still impressed by the kindness of the strangers, I wrote (hank-you notes to those helpful first responders and baked for them. It was a small gesture with a big impact.When I dropped off still-warm cookies a( (he police and the fire station, they thanked me for delivering gifts. Thanking me? All I'd done was baking, however, they'd saved a life.I drove away feeling light and happy, partly because I'd done a good deed, but mostly because I was amazed that there are great people who do life-saving work and expect nothing in return.Laler、 I realized (hat my nalural high mighl have been more (han whal it sccmed.

Then there are weighted blankets that press around 10% of your body weight down as you take a nap. And there are apps, such as supermodel Natalia Vbdianova's Loona, designed to create a “sleepscape” by combining visual and aural storytelling with relaxation-based activities such as colouring in. These are just some of the products at the heart of the “sleep aid revolution”.Sleep occupies almost as much of the national conversation as weather-how much, when, how deep it isand we are more than prepared to spend our money on more, and better, shut-eye.In the past 12 months, sales of sleep-related products have soared. At John Lewis, silk pillowcase sales have increased by 533%. At weighted blankets company Mela, sales are up by 250%, while at Holland & Barrett sales of products in the sleep and relaxation category have grown by over 30% year on year. "Sleep” is the third most common unique search term for visitors to Neal's Yard Remedies' site.But there are some dissenting voices. "The sleep aid industry steps in with claims that we're not sleeping because it's time for a new mattress, and offers us products to enable sleep, " says Darian Leader, author of Why Can't We Sleep? ” However, v he points out, “ what wc arc seeing is a depoliticizing of sleep-ignore the socioeconomic burdens and internal pain that people face and see lack of sleep as a separate problem with a ' separate solution'.”The growing interest isn't limited to those suffering from diagnosable sleep issuessleep has become a pillar of the wellness market and tracking it has become another symptom of the rise of the quantified self, a movement that sees people tracking their every step.Sleep expert Dr. Neil Stanley distrusts the market: "It is a trick to scare everybody because nobody's going to make any money if you just go around saying it's common sense, and you know how to sleep.”While rebutting any scientific evidence for many of the products, he admits that anythinga silk pillowcase, camomile tea, yoga or listening to Pink Floyd really loudlycould, in theory, help.But, he says, many are overlooking the simple things. 4kYou need three things fbr a good night's sleep: a bedroom that's comfortable, a relaxed body and a quiet mind.you need to make space in your life fbr sleep.”8. What does the underlined word “dissenting” probably mean?A. Approving.B. Opposed.C. Indifferent.D. Pessimistic.9. What message does Darian Leader intend to convey in Paragraph 4?A.

Now it appears that some can count, too.Jennifer Vbnk, of Oakland University, in Michigan, and Michael Beran, from Georgia State University, set three American black bears the task of distinguishing between numerically larger and smaller groups of dots （点）on a computer screen. In return for a food reward one bear, Brutus, would touch the more heavily dotted pattern with his nose. The others, Bella and Dusty, would touch the screen with （heir claws （爪）.As the researchers report in Animal Behaviour, the bears did best with patterns where the coloured dots did not move and where more of them also took up a larger coloured area. This could be explained by the bears' distinguishing the different areas of colour rather than truly counting the dots. However, the three bears managed to pick out the bigger number of dots even in pairs of patterns where fewer dots took up a larger area.Moving patterns, where each dot followed its own path around the screen, were more of a challenge. But Brutus, least, was not defeated. He seemed to be counting mobile dots even when the scientists tried to mislead him by moving the total coloured area of the dots at the same time.It is not entirely surprising that bears should have a high degree of intelligence. They face a lot of challenges when trying to get food. They arc, however, always alone, and so do not have the complex social systems that contribute to animal smarts. Perhaps, then, their maths skill develops because they cannot count on their friends for help.12. What （ask did the scientists sei fbr the three bears?A. Distinguishing different dot patterns.B. Figuring out different colours of dots.C. Putting the dots into differently coloured groups.D. Picking out the group with a larger number of dots.13. For the bears, the task was easier when.A. the coloured dots were moving slowlyB. the dot patterns were regular in shapeC. the dots followed a path on the screenD. more dots covered a larger coloured area14. What may explain the bears' high degree of intelligence?A. They learn skills from other animals.B. They face life challenges on their own.C. They feed on a diverse range of food.D. They have complex social networks.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Bears Taught to Distinguish ColoursB. New Evidence of Bear Intelligence Was FoundC. Three Bears Learned How to CountD. The Smartest American Black Bear Brutus第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。2022河北六校联考Consistently doing what you need to do to succeed, with total focus and determination, is incredibly difficult.
