Like a lot of people who want to get through a checkout line, I found my thoughts on speed, nothing more. The line I was standing in wasn't moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier, who was busy receiving money from customers. He was an old man in his sixties. I thought, well, it probably took him a little longer to get the jobs done. For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before he began scanning the goods they were purchasing. Sure, his words were the usual, “How's it going?”But he did something different-he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and talk with them briefly. I thought it was strange, but I guessed I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of a conversation without thinking. Usually, after a while, you don't give any thought to the question and just say something back quietly. This old cashier seemed sincere about wanting to know how people were feeling.Meanwhile, the high-tech cash register rang up their purchases and he announced what they owed.When customers handed money to him, he pushed the appropriate keys, the cash drawer popped open, and he counted out their change. Then magic happened. He placed the change in his left hand, walked around the counter to the customers,and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. As their hands met,the old cashier looked the customers in the eyes. “I want to thank you for shopping here today,” he told them. “You have a great day. Bye- bye.”The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. Now it was my turn. I glanced down at the name tag on his red waistcoat, the kind experienced Wal-Mart cashier wore. It read,“Marty.” Marty told me how much I owed and I handed him some money. The next thing I knew he was standing beside me,offering his right hand and holding my change in his left hand.His kind eyes locked onto mine. Smiling, and with a firm handshake... 21.While the author in the checkout line,she felt A.comfortable B. warm C.impatient D.embarrassed 22. In the opinion of the author,people tended to A. talk about unimportant topics B. face communication problems C. remain calm while having a talk D. develop a mindless conversation 23. The author thought Marty special because A. he expressed his sincerity while giving back the change B. he spent as much time as possible serving customers C.he was patient with all the questions from customers D. he showed particular interest in customers' personal life 24.What can we infer from the passage? A. Marty was a talkative man. B. Marty cared a lot about what he did. C. The author failed to get along well with others. D.The author was dissatisfied with such a waste of time. B Want to have a better sleep?You may just need more noise. While that may sound strange, it is scientifically proven that certain types of noise can help you get some sleep. Thinking of it this way: When you are lying in bed,every single noise---from the creak (嘎吱声） of the bed to a whistle in your partner's nose-may keep you awake. But some types of noise, specifically white, pink and Brown noise, can mask these sounds, creating a more harmonious background. White noise contains sounds of all frequencies that humans can hear. But it comes across as a high-pitched buzz(声调高的嗡嗡声）。 That's because of the way your ears hear it. Basically,your brain strengthens sounds in higher pitched frequencies. So while you may be hearing sounds from a variety of frequencies, the highest ones tend to drown(淹没）the lower pitched notes. Pink noise takes the human tendency to hear only some frequencies into account and balances out the noise so that sounds of all frequencies are heard equally. The higher the frequency, the more its volume is weakened. To your ears, the sound is deeper and softer than white noise. In a study at China's Peking University, researchers found that when participants were exposed to either pink noise or no noise during nighttime sleep and naps,75% reported more restful sleep with the pink noise. Brain activity monitors confirmed this, showing that participants had 23% more restful brain activity at night with pink noise and 45% more restful sleep during naps. Brown noise takes this concept to the next level, further weakening higher frequency noise to produce an even deeper and richer sound. It's not named after the color brown but rather after the botanist Robert Brown, who in the 1800s discovered random particle motion( 随机粒子运动）． Brown noise is similar to random particle motion in that the changes in sound signals from one moment to the next occur randomly. When it comes right down to it,the color of noise that will help you sleep mostly is the one you like best. While pink noise and Brown noise are deeper and more balanced than white noise, your personal sleep preferences will dictate which one gives you the best sleep. 25.How can some noise help us have a better sleep? A.By making us think of some special colors. B.By confusing our brain with different colors. C.By reducing the effects of disturbing sounds. D.By copying the sounds that we are familiar with. 26. What is special about white noise? A. It sounds louder than it really is. B.It leaves low-frequency sound
