AWhen I was 4, my parents decided they could no longer live together. That same year, my mom moved to Los Angeles (L.A.) and a therapist (治疗师) was hired to decide where I would live. Playing with a dollhouse in her office, I showed her the mother’s room on one side and the father’s room on the other. When she asked me about thelittle boy’s room, I told her the little boy didn’t know where to sleep.The therapist finally decided I would stay with my dad during the school years and visit my mom on long holidays and for summers. I began flying between two cities and leading two different lives. I remember my last school day in Grade Six. My friends mad e plans to go to the beach together, but I couldn’t join them because I had to fly to L.A. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to see my mom and stepdad; I just didn’t want to leave my friends. It wasn’t easy to put up a wall, and pretend I didn’t hate saying goodbye to them. In the morning, my dad drove me to school with my packed bags, and after school, my friends went off together, and I went to the airport.What has come of this in the end is that I’m always missing somebody. When I’m in northern California, I miss my mom and stepdad, while in L.A. I miss going out with my friends, my dad, and my little brother and sister. But after so many flights, I’ve learned that it’s also fun traveling between two cities and experiencing different lives. Other children may not have the opportunity to experience so much.21.

Post office branches usually open at 8 a.m.CAlmost everyone stood when the bride walked down the aisle (过道) in her white dress，but not the wedding conductor, because she was fixed on her chair.The wedding was led by “I­Fairy”, a 1.5­meter tall seated robot with flashing eyes and plastic hair. Sunday’s wedding was the first time a marriage had been led by a robot，according to manufacturer, Kokoro Co.“Please lift the bride’s veil (面纱),” the robot said in a tiny voi ce, waving its arms in the air as the newly-married couple kissed in front of about 50 guests.The wedding took place at a restaurant in Hibiya Park in central Tokyo, where the I­Fairy wore flowers and directed a rooftop ceremony. Wires led out from beneath it to a black curtain a few feet away, where a man clicked commands into a computer.Japan has one of the most advanced robotics industries in the world, with the government actively supporting the field for future growth. Industrial models in factories are now standard, but recently Japanese companies have been making a push to inject robots into everyday life.Honda makes a walking child­shaped robot, and other firms have developed robots to entertain the elderly or play baseball. Kokoro, whose corporate goal is to “touch the hearts of the people”, also makes giant dinosaur robots for exhibitions and lifelike Android models that can smile and laugh. The company is a sub­company of Sanrio Co., which owns the rights to Hello Kitty and other Japanese characters.“This was a lot of fun. I think that Japanese people have a strong sense that robots are our friends. Those in the robot industry mostly understand this, but people mainly want robots near them to serve some purpose,” said the bride, Satoko Inoue, 36, who works at Kokoro.The I­Fairy sells for about 6.3 million yen ($68,000) and three are in use in Singapore, the US and Japan, according to company spokeswoman, Kayako Kido.28.

What does the text mainly convey?A. Robot wedding conductors are becoming popular.B. The manufactur ing industry in Japan is booming.C. The Japanese pay a lot of attention to robots.D. Robots are increasingly entering everyday life.DWe all know the benefits of a good night’s sleep. Not only do you wake up bright-eyed and feeling rested, but your mind is more alert and functions better. But a new scientific study also suggests that getting undisturbed sleep could lower your risk of developing Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆症) later in life.Researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden say their findings, published in the Alzheimer’s and Dementia journal, suggest that improved sleep quality as you get older could help protect men from the memory-robbing disease. “We demonstrate that men with self-reported sleep disturbances run a 1.5-fold higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease than those without reports of sleep disturbances during a 40-year follow-up period,”lead researcher, Christian Benedict, said in a statement. “The later the self-reported sleep disturbance was found, the higher the risk was for developing Alzheimer’s disease.”The study followed over 1,500 men, who were 50 at the start of the study, for 40 years. Researchers looked for the incidence of dementia (痴呆) at follow-up intervals as well as the subjects’reports of their sleep disturbances. The highest risk of developing dementia was found among men who reported sleep disturbances starting at age 70. While the risk of developing Alzheimer’s was around 50 percent higher for men with sleep issues, it was also a third higher for dementia in general.The sleep-dementia link has been widely studied by Alzheimer’s researchers. Another study conducted by Uppsala University researchers pointed to sleep deprivation (剥夺) with an increase of molecules (分子) in the brain, which are found in instances of brain damage. An increase in these molecules was seen after just one night of missed sleep.In 2013, researchers at Johns Hopkins University found that not only a short sleepduration but also low sleep quality was seen to increase the risk of Alzheimer’s in older people. They say the key is to instill the value of getting adequate, restful sleep in older adults.32. The new study mainly suggests that having a good night’s sleep can _______.A. make your eyes feel restedB. increase your alertness to the outside worldC. make your mind function betterD. reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s33. The study published in the Alzheimer’s and Dementia journal _______.A. followed over 1,500 female participantsB. tested a group of people about 40 years oldC. continued over a 40-year follow-up periodD. was conducted by researchers in Johns Hopkins University34. It seems that _______.A. men without self-reported sleep disturbances won’t develop Alzheimer’sB. it is better to find self-reported sleep disturbances at an earlier ageC. men at 70 years old are most likely to develop Alzheimer’sD. the chance of developing Alzheimer’s is lower than for dementia35. Which word can the underlined word in the last paragraph be replaced by?A. Apply.B. Introduce.C. Practice.D. Reward.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处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
