But three graduate students at Brown University in Providence built a company around sleep deprivation(睡眠不足).Jason Donahue, Ben Rubin and Eric Shashoua were working late nights in Browns business and engineering schools. They began thinking about ways to sleep better. They discovered they werent alone in burning the midnight oil. Around 20% of Americans get less than six hours of rest a night.The friends imagined a smart alarm clock that could track how much time people spend in the most restorative( 有恢复作用的) stages of the sleep cycle: REM (rapid eye movement) and deep sleep. What would it cost to design such a thing? Five years of research, 20 employees, $14 million and a whole lot of doubting from investors and scientists.Their company, Zeo, based in Newton, Mass, launched its product in June, 2009. The Zeo device uses a headband with tiny sensors(传感器) that scan your brain for signs of four sleep states-REM, light, deep and waking sleep. The smart alarm clock displays a graph of your sleep pattern and wakes you as youre not in REM sleep. In the morning you can upload the data to the companys Web site, and so track your sleep over time. Most of the feedback(反馈) comes in the form of Zeos ZQ score showing how well youve slept.“Zeo allows people to unlock this black box of sleep,” says Dave Dickinson, a health-care CEO.Whether any of this actually improves sleep is up to the consumer, who will also need to make lifestyle changes like cutting out alcohol before bedtime or caffeine after 3 P.M.For now the company is selling Zeo online only. Dickinson also plans to spread it to countries such as Australia, where sleep deprivation approaches US levels.27. Who will support Zeo?A. People full of imagination. B. People suffering sleeping problems.C. People having access to the Internet. D. People having bad lifestyles.28. Why did the three graduate students imagine a smart alarm clock?A. To wake them up on time in the morning.B. To earn enough money for their study.C. To improve the quality of peoples sleep.D. To enjoy their life while working at night.29. To design the Zeo device, the three graduate students _.A. spent much time and money B. were widely supported by scientistsC. worked by themselves all the time D. attracted many investors30. What can we know from the passage?A. Zeo has a direct effect on users lifestyles.B. It needs more personal efforts to make Zeo function better.C. A large quantity of Zeo devices have been sold in Australia.D. Consumers can go to the Zeo company to purchase Zeo in person.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Different groups around the world are working to expand the uses for mobile technology in health care.In the world, there are six billion mobile phone users in a population of seven billion people.31 Africa has widespread adoption.

These health messages may also be sent to a pregnant womans husband and mother-in-law. 34 .Messages can be text or voicemail. You can have a pregnant woman in Bangladesh registered into a system that provides messages that help her know what to do and when to do certain things. Simple text messages can be important sources of information to people without Internetaccess. 35 They have to be able to read through thousands of entries that come back to them on Google, for example, and then figure out what that information means to them. And thats not something that someone in a poor and uneducated kind of situation can do. A. That way they too can understand what needs to be done.B.

Its hard to imagine that the other woman was my mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but I am too busy to visit her often. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.“Whats wrong? Are you well?” she asked. My mother is the type of woman who suspect that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.“I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you,” I responded. “Just the two of us.”That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up, I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as beautiful as an angels.“I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed,” she said, as she got into the car. “They cant wait to hear about our meeting.”We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Halfway through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me with a smile on her lips.“It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,” she said.“Then its time you relax and let me return the favor,” I responded.During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation-nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie.Paragraph 1:As we arrived at her
