Best Sleep Music Apps
If you want to sleep better at night, trying a sleep music app might be the answer. Here are some ideal sleep music apps to choose from.
Calm
Calm is one of the most popular sleep music apps and its large library of relaxing and sleep-causing tracks is largely responsible for that. This app offers a free version, but to really take advantage of what Calm has to offer, you had better choose the paid version, which costs $69.99 for one year. A lifetime membership is $399.99.
Relax Melodies
Relax Melodies is intended to calm your mind with relaxing sound. The composer is visual and easy to use, and the Discover page gives you access to other app features, like bedtime stories and breathing exercises. Though its free version provides a great introduction to the idea of sleep music, the paid version unlocks a larger library of sounds. Consider paying for it if there're particular sounds or features that really attract you.
Headspace
Headspace is a feature-rich app designed in a simple way that makes it quick and easy to use its library of sleep-specific music. The Sleep icon at the bottom of the app is easy to identify and leads to a library of options that include Sleep Music and Sleep Radio. It's worth noting that nearly everything in Headspace's Sleep Library requires an extra subscription（订阅）. Headspace costs $69.99 annually, or you can pay $12.99 per month.
Pzizz
Pzizz offers sleep music tracks you can use at naptime, bedtime, or to improve focus. One thing that makes Pzizz different is its voice narration (旁白) option. If you find the presence of a calming voice to be comforting or benefit from someone helping you to relax your body and mind, then Pzizz is a good choice for you. Male and female voice options are available and the voice is low and calm. It has a free version but you should pay for extra subscriptions.

22.How much should you pay at least for the one-year subscription of Headspace
A. $12.99. B. $69.99. C. $155.88. D. $399.99.

B. It provides low and calm music.
C. It offers voice narration choices.
D. Its focus is sleep-specific music.

In childhood we re told not to talk to strangers. But now we ve grown up, and it s time to forget that, because having a chat with someone we don t know could change our whole day.
Gillian Sandstrom, a lecturer in psychology, would often talk with a woman working on a hot dog stand. “I started nodding and smiling at the lady. When she replied, the small connection made me feel seen, safe and part of the community,” says Sandstrom. This positive connection led her to study the effect of simple social communication. She found that people were about 17 percent happier on the days when they started a chat over a coffee machine, or said hi to a neighbour. “My work clearly shows that talking to strangers makes you more positive,” she says. “It also encourages you to trust other people more, which makes the world friendlier and safer.”
The reason is simple. We want to connect with others. The more people we do this with, the happier we are. In fact, according to a study from Harvard Business School, people who talk within more different relationship levels, including friends, family members, co-workers and strangers, are happier than those with a less broad mix of communication.
The problem is that many of us find the idea of beginning a conversation with strangers a bit frightening. Humans are naturally afraid of being refused. As a result, even though we can sense deep down that nothing too bad could happen if we start a conversation with a stranger, a part of us is afraid of getting hurt doing it.
The good news is that what we fear most rarely happens. In Dr Sandstrom s work, she found that only ten percent of contact received no answers. The more often we speak to people, the easier it becomes, “Doing it time and time again was the key,” says Dr Sandstrom. “The more people talked to strangers, the less worried they felt about being refused and more confident they became in their ability to start and continue a conversation.”
24.What drove Sandstrom to start her study
A. Her personal experience. B. Her childhood memories.
C. Her interest in social study. D. Her chats with co-workers.
25.What does the study from Harvard Business School suggest people do
A. Talk more with friends. B. Group different people.
C. Enlarge their social circle. D. Select their favorite partners.
26.Why are many people unwilling to talk with strangers
A. They fear getting physically injured.
B. They are not used to making friends.
C. They worry about being turned down.
D. They have no idea how to start a talk.
27.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Skills Necessary for Social Life B. Tips on Leaving Comfort Zones
C. The Key to Building Connections D. The Power of Talking to Strangers
C
If Confucius were still alive today and could celebrate his 28 September birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China will remember Confucius on this special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It s nothing personal. Most Americans don t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn t mean that Americans don t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades（十年）, the Chinese studies programmes have enjoyed huge popularity（普及） in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes（孔子学院） in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy. Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks（弊端） of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker s ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture and customs to the West.
As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.
28.What is the opening paragraph mainly intended to do
A. To provide some key facts about Confucius.
B. To attract the readers interest in the subject.
C. To show great respect for the ancient thinker.
D. To prove（证明）the popularity of modern birthday celebrations.
29.What can we learn about American students from paragraph 4
A. They have a great interest in studying Chinese.
B. They take an active part in Chinese competitions.
C. They try to get high scores in Chinese exams.
D. They are eager to join the Chinese Club.
30.What is the best title for the passage
A. Forgotten Wisdom in America B. Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
C. Chinese Culture for Westerners D. Old Thinker with a Big Future
31.Where is the passage probably taken from
A. A biography（传记）. B. A history paper.
C. A newspaper. D. A philosophy textbook.
D
I became aware of my stutter（结巴）when I was around 9, in the fourth grade. I began to see how other people viewed me. When the teacher asked the whole class questions, I never raised my hand though I knew the answer, because I knew I would stutter. Some kids would tell me that I talked funny, ask why I didn t talk normally, or laugh at me. As soon as that started to happen, I became more introverted（内向的）.
It wasn t until the summer of 2015, before freshman year at high school. All my friends and my parents encouraged me to join the high school football team. I owed much to them, especially coach Lane who taught me how to play football. He took the time—and had the patience—to actually teach me what to do, how to do it and how to understand the concepts of play.
In junior year, I started my first game for the high school team. I had a very good season and in January 2018, I signed the University of North Carolina. The older we get, the more of an understanding we have about the world and other people. So the first time my teammates in college heard me talk and heard that I stuttered, they did not say a thing. That was a big deal to me because I was so used to people making comments. My teammates actually tell me to slow down because talking faster causes me to stutter more. It s really helped me develop confidence.
Whenever I go back home to Georgia, I volunteer with children at my church, including those who have learning disabilities. I like to do that to inspire them with confidence. I had confidence issues when I was a kid because of my stutter, so I just don t want them to have to go through what I did. In the future, I would like to start a foundation to give back to people who stutter and create a program where kids all across the world who have a stutter can have a safe space.
32.Why did NOT the author raise his hand in class
A. He didn t know the answer.
B. He was too shy to speak in public.
C. He was afraid of classmates comments.
D. He showed no interest in the question.
33.What was one cause of the author s decision to play football
A. Guidance from coaches. B. Great interest in football.
C. Expectations（期望） from parents. D. Encouragement from friends.
34.Which of the following can best describe the author
A. Grateful and caring. B. Helpful and talkative（善于言谈的）.
C. Athletic（运动的） and generous. D. Confident and patient.
35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. An Unconfident Child B. An Introverted （内向的）Volunteer
C. An Admirable（令人钦佩的） Coach D. An Inspiring Footballer

How Similar Are Language and Music
Language is part of our daily life, no matter where we live in the world. It is the same with music, whether you listen to it on the radio on your drive to work or sit before an orchestra（管弦乐队）. Both language and music play a huge role in our culture. (36)
·Both language and music have a writing system.
In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Musicians read notes and create meanings in the form of music. (37) By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. We can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago.
· (38)
You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation.
·Both share emotions.
(39) Of course you may be able to see it on my face, but you will know for sure through my words. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness. (40) I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of lyrics.
A．Both are expressive.
B．Both vary with culture.
C．Here are some of their similarities.
D．How do you know that I am angry
E．We use language to express our thoughts.
F．So just as you read English, you can also read music.
G．In contrast, you probably also listen to sad music when you are feeling down.

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow(乌鸦) perched(栖息) on their window．
The father asked his son, "What is this " The son replied, "It is a crow."
After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, "What is this " The son said, "Father, I have just now told you. It's a crow!"
After a little while, the old father again asked his son for the third time, "What is this "
At this time some expression of irritation(恼怒) was felt in the son's tone when he said to his father with a rebuff(生硬回绝). "It's a crow, a crow." A little while later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, "What is this "
This time, the son shouted at his father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this "
A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered(发皱的) diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:
"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not feel irritated（生气的） at all but I rather felt affection for my innocent son."

Gillian Sandstrom, a lecturer in psychology, would often talk with a woman working on a hot dog stand. “I started nodding and smiling at the lady. When she replied, the small connection made me feel seen, safe and part of the community,” says Sandstrom. This positive connection led her to study the effect of simple social communication. She found that people were about 17 percent happier on the days when they started a chat over a coffee machine, or said hi to a neighbour. “My work clearly shows that talking to strangers makes you more positive,” she says. “It also encourages you to trust other people more, which makes the world friendlier and safer.”
The reason is simple. We want to connect with others. The more people we do this with, the happier we are. In fact, according to a study from Harvard Business School, people who talk within more different relationship levels, including friends, family members, co-workers and strangers, are happier than those with a less broad mix of communication.
The problem is that many of us find the idea of beginning a conversation with strangers a bit frightening. Humans are naturally afraid of being refused. As a result, even though we can sense deep down that nothing too bad could happen if we start a conversation with a stranger, a part of us is afraid of getting hurt doing it.
The good news is that what we fear most rarely happens. In Dr Sandstrom s work, she found that only ten percent of contact received no answers. The more often we speak to people, the easier it becomes, “Doing it time and time again was the key,” says Dr Sandstrom. “The more people talked to strangers, the less worried they felt about being refused and more confident they became in their ability to start and continue a conversation.”
24.What drove Sandstrom to start her study
A. Her personal experience. B. Her childhood memories.
C. Her interest in social study. D. Her chats with co-workers.
25.What does the study from Harvard Business School suggest people do
A. Talk more with friends. B. Group different people.
C. Enlarge their social circle. D. Select their favorite partners.
26.Why are many people unwilling to talk with strangers
A. They fear getting physically injured.
B. They are not used to making friends.
C. They worry about being turned down.
D. They have no idea how to start a talk.

If Confucius were still alive today and could celebrate his 28 September birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China will remember Confucius on this special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It s nothing personal. Most Americans don t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn t mean that Americans don t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades（十年）, the Chinese studies programmes have enjoyed huge popularity（普及） in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes（孔子学院） in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy. Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks（弊端） of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker s ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture and customs to the West.
As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.
28.What is the opening paragraph mainly intended to do
A. To provide some key facts about Confucius.
B. To attract the readers interest in the subject.
C. To show great respect for the ancient thinker.
D. To prove（证明）the popularity of modern birthday celebrations.
29.What can we learn about American students from paragraph 4
A. They have a great interest in studying Chinese.
B. They take an active part in Chinese competitions.
C. They try to get high scores in Chinese exams.
D. They are eager to join the Chinese Club.
30.What is the best title for the passage
A. Forgotten Wisdom in America B. Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
C. Chinese Culture for Westerners D. Old Thinker with a Big Future
31.Where is the passage probably taken from
A. A biography（传记）. B. A history paper.
C. A newspaper. D. A philosophy textbook.
【答案】B、A、D、C
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了西方人纷纷学习中国文化的现象，并告诉我们中国古代伟大的思想家——孔子的思想仍然受到人们的追捧。
28. 根据第一段中的“If Confucius were still alive today and could celebrate his 28 September birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.”可知，作者是以孔子生日这个话题吸引读者的兴趣，引出本文要讨论的真正话题。故选B项。
29. 根据第四段中的“In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programmes have enjoyed huge popularity in Western universities.”和“Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese.”可知，美国学生对中国文化很感兴趣。故选A项。
30. 本文向我们介绍了孔子思想对西方的影响，以及将来可能产生的影响。由此可知，D项Old Thinker with a Big Future（前程远大的老思想家）适合作本文最佳标题。故选D项。
31. 文章介绍了中国的思想家孔子及其所代表的东方文化仍然被西方所推崇，而并没有讲孔子这个人具体如何，也没有谈及历史或者哲学内容，由此可推断这篇文章很可能出现在介绍文化类的报纸上，故C项最符合。
D
I became aware of my stutter（结巴）when I was around 9, in the fourth grade. I began to see how other people viewed me. When the teacher asked the whole class questions, I never raised my hand though I knew the answer, because I knew I would stutter. Some kids would tell me that I talked funny, ask why I didn t talk normally, or laugh at me. As soon as that started to happen, I became more introverted（内向的）.
It wasn t until the summer of 2015, before freshman year at high school. All my friends and my parents encouraged me to join the high school football team. I owed much to them, especially coach Lane who taught me how to play football. He took the time—and had the patience—to actually teach me what to do, how to do it and how to understand the concepts of play.
In junior year, I started my first game for the high school team. I had a very good season and in January 2018, I signed the University of North Carolina. The older we get, the more of an understanding we have about the world and other people. So the first time my teammates in college heard me talk and heard that I stuttered, they did not say a thing. That was a big deal to me because I was so used to people making comments. My teammates actually tell me to slow down because talking faster causes me to stutter more. It s really helped me develop confidence.
Whenever I go back home to Georgia, I volunteer with children at my church, including those who have learning disabilities. I like to do that to inspire them with confidence. I had confidence issues when I was a kid because of my stutter, so I just don t want them to have to go through what I did. In the future, I would like to start a foundation to give back to people who stutter and create a program where kids all across the world who have a stutter can have a safe space.

【解析】语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者小时候结巴，性格内向。上高中后，在朋友的鼓励下加入校足球队。后来上大学后，他变得自信，并学会了帮助他人。
1. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的Some kids would tell me that I talked funny, ask why I didn t talk normally, or laugh at me.可知，作者课堂上不举手是因为害怕同学们的评论。
2. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的All my friends and my parents encouraged me to join the high school football team.可知，作者加入足球队的一个原因是朋友们和父母的鼓励。
3. 推理判断题。根据第二段中的I owed much to them, especially coach Lane who taught me how to play football.可知，作者很感激朋友和父母，特别是教练。根据第三段中的So the first time my teammates in college heard me talk and heard that I stuttered, they did not say a thing.可知，作者对队友们的理解表示感激。根据最后一段中的Whenever I go back home to Georgia, I volunteer with children at my church, including those who have learning disabilities.可知，作者成为一个乐于助人的人。由此可知，作者是一个懂得感恩和乐于助人的人。

How Similar Are Language and Music
Language is part of our daily life, no matter where we live in the world. It is the same with music, whether you listen to it on the radio on your drive to work or sit before an orchestra（管弦乐队）. Both language and music play a huge role in our culture. (36)
·Both language and music have a writing system.
In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Musicians read notes and create meanings in the form of music. (37) By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. We can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago.
· (38)
You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation.
·Both share emotions.
(39) Of course you may be able to see it on my face, but you will know for sure through my words. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness. (40) I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of lyrics.
A．Both are expressive.
B．Both vary with culture.
C．Here are some of their similarities.
D．How do you know that I am angry
E．We use language to express our thoughts.
F．So just as you read English, you can also read music.
G．In contrast, you probably also listen to sad music when you are feeling down.
【答案】C、F、B、D、G
【解析】【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了语言和音乐的相似之处。
36. 根据文章标题及上文It is the same with music可知，语言和音乐有相似之处，下文介绍了语言和音乐的一系列共同点。C项(以下是它们的一些相似之处)承上启下，符合语境。
37. 根据设空处前三句可知，英语和音乐都是可以被记录下来并且能读取的。 F项(所以正如你读英语一样，你也能读音乐)承接上文。故选F项。
38. 本空为段落主旨句，该空下面的段落的主要内容是音乐和语言都随着文化而变化。段落中的关键词是cultures。故选B项。
39. 根据空后的Of course you may be able to see it on my face, but you will know for sure through my words. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy.可知，这里是说人们可以通过语言和音乐表达气愤和其他情绪，D项(你怎么知道我生气了？)引出下文，符合语境，空后一句中的it指代D项中的I am angry。故选D项。
40. G项中的sad music及feeling down与空前一句中的happy song及feel happy相对应，符合语境，故选G项。

The father asked his son, "What is this " The son replied, "It is a crow."
After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, "What is this " The son said, "Father, I have just now told you. It's a crow!"
After a little while, the old father again asked his son for the third time, "What is this "
At this time some expression of irritation(恼怒) was felt in the son's tone when he said to his father with a rebuff(生硬回绝). "It's a crow, a crow." A little while later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, "What is this "
This time, the son shouted at his father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this "
A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered(发皱的) diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:
"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not feel irritated at all but I rather felt affection for my innocent son."

【答案】
After reading the diary, the son was filled with tears and began to reflect on the days when he used to sit together with his father. His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling irritation while his father asked him the same question just four times! The son thought to himself: If I attain old age, how will my son look at me Will he think of me as a burden Will he shout at me because of my poor sight, poor hearing or poor understanding
Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. He made an apology to his father, begging his father to forgive him for his bad behavior. He said this aloud, "I promise to see you happy forever, Dad. It is you who have cared for me ever since I was a little child, showering your selfless affection on me. You worked hard to make money so that I could afford to go to university. I will serve you in the best way no matter how you behave."
