What is the perfect condition forsleep

根据以下材料，回答40-43题

Tom was aged four but he was talkinglike a two-year-old baby. He was saying such things as"kick ball" and"want car", and using lots of one-word sentences. He should have beensaying some really long sentences and telling stories with them. He wasn't.Something had gone terribly wrong.

Quite a few children have what is called a"language delay". For some reason they don't learn to speak asquickly as they should. Their friends shoot ahead and they're left behind. As aresult, they get very lonely. Nobody wants to talk to you if you can't talkback.

Can anything be done to help thesechildren Yes. They can go to see a speech therapist--a person who's speciallytrained to work out what's wrong and who knows how to teach language tochildren. This is what happened to Tom. The speech therapist played some gameswith him and heard how he talked.She made a recording of his speech,and chatted to his morn and dad about his background. They'd taken Tomto see a doctor, but the doctor hadn't found anything wrong with him.

He seemed perfectly normal in everyway--except he just wasn't talking.

After Tom and his parents had gone home,the therapist listened carefully to the recording she'd made. Then she lookedat a chart which showed how language developed in children aged two, three,andfour. She could see Tom was a long way behind.

The next step, she decided, was to teachTom how to say some new sentences like "kick a red ball, " and"the clown is kicking a ball. " Tom didn't get the new sentencesright straight away. But the therapist was very patient, and after a few morevisits he started to make some progress.

He seemed perfectly normal in everyway--except he just wasn't talking.

After Tom and his parents had gone home,the therapist listened carefully to the recording she'd made. Then she lookedat a chart which showed how language developed in children aged two, three,andfour. She could see Tom was a long way behind.

The next step, she decided, was to teachTom how to say some new sentences like "kick a red ball, " and"the clown is kicking a ball. " Tom didn't get the new sentencesright straight away. But the therapist was very patient, and after a few morevisits he started to make some progress.

What did the speech therapist do tohelp Tom

根据以下材料，回答40-43题

Tom was aged four but he was talkinglike a two-year-old baby. He was saying such things as"kick ball" and"want car", and using lots of one-word sentences. He should have beensaying some really long sentences and telling stories with them. He wasn't.Something had gone terribly wrong.

Quite a few children have what is called a"language delay". For some reason they don't learn to speak asquickly as they should. Their friends shoot ahead and they're left behind. As aresult, they get very lonely. Nobody wants to talk to you if you can't talkback.

Can anything be done to help thesechildren Yes. They can go to see a speech therapist--a person who's speciallytrained to work out what's wrong and who knows how to teach language tochildren. This is what happened to Tom. The speech therapist played some gameswith him and heard how he talked.She made a recording of his speech,and chatted to his morn and dad about his background. They'd taken Tomto see a doctor, but the doctor hadn't found anything wrong with him.

He seemed perfectly normal in everyway--except he just wasn't talking.

What is the best title for the passage

根据以下材料，回答44-44题

On a dry and cold Friday afternoon lastOctober, Sharon Seline exchanged text messages with her daughter who was incollege. They "chatted" back and forth, with the mom asking howthings were going and the daughter answering positively followed by emoticons(表情符) showingsmiles, b-i-g smiles and hearts.

Later that night, her daughter attemptedsuicide.

In the days that followed, it came to lightthat she'd hidden herself in her dorm, crying and showing signs ofdepression--a completely different reality from the one that she conveyed intexts and Facebook posts.

As human beings, our only real method ofconnection is through real communication. Studies show that only 7% ofcommunication is based on writing and speaking. The majority of 93% is based onbody language. Indeed, it's only when we can hear a tone of voice or look intosomeone's eyes that we're able to know when "I'm fine" doesn't meanthey're fine at all.

This is where social media gets risky.

With modern technology, anyone can hidebehind the text, the e-mail, or the Facebook post,projecting any image they wantand creating a false image of their choosing. They can be whoever they want tobe. And without the ability to receive body language, their audiences are nonethe wiser.

This presents a paradox which doesn't existbefore. With all the powerful social technologies at our fingertips, we aremore connected--and potentially more disconnected--than ever before.

Every relevant metric(衡量标准) showsthat we are interacting at a great speed and frequency through social media.But are we really communicating With 93% of our communication context(语境) lost, weare now attempting to establish relationships and make decisions based onphrases or emoticons, which may or may not accurately represent the truth.

Alan Lakein, a time management expert,thinks that nothing is a total waste of time, including doing nothing at times.If you arrange things so that you find time to relax and "donothing", you will get more done and have more fun doing it.

One of his clients, a space engineer,didn't know how to " do nothing ". Every minute of his leisure timewas scheduled with intense activities. He had an outdoor-activities schedule inwhich he switched from skiing to tennis. His girlfriend kept up with him inthese activities, although she would have preferred just to sit by the fire andrelax once in a while. Like too many people, he felt the need to be doingsomething all the time, for doing nothing seemed a waste of time. His"relaxing by the fire" consisted of playing chess, reading magazines,or checking emails.

For an experiment, Alan asked him to"waste" his time for five minutes during one of their sessionstogether. What the engineer ended up doing was relaxing, sitting quietly anddaydreaming.When he was finally able to admit that emotional reasons caused himto reject relaxing as a waste of time, he began to look more critically at thatway of thinking. Once he knew that relaxing was a good use of time, he became less serious about being busyand started enjoying each activity more.

Previously he had been so busy doing thathe had no time to have fun at anything. He began to do less and have more fun.When Alan saw the client about three years later, he still had as busy aschedule as ever, but he was able to balance his activity with relaxing so thathe came back to work Monday morning not feeling tired out from a busy weekendbut refreshed.

What can be inferred from the passageabout "doing nothing"

Socrates is often referred to as one ofthe founders of Western philosophy, and yet he wrote nothing, established noschool, and held no particular theories of his own. What he did do, however,wasfrequently ask the questions that interested him, and in doing so developed a new way of thinking.This method proceeds(展开) as a dialogue between opposing views, and it earned him manyenemies in Athens, where he lived.

As a young man, Socrates is believed tohave studied natural philosophy, looking at the various explanations of thenature of the universe, but then became involved in the politics of thecity-state and concerned with more down-to-earth moral issues, such as thenature of justice.

However, he was not interested in winningarguments, or arguing for the sake of making money.

Nor was he seeking answers or explanations.He was simply examining the basis of the concepts we apply to ourselves ( suchas "good", "bad", and "just"), for he believedthat understanding what we are is the first task of philosophy.

He was sentenced to death on charges ofcorrupting the young with bad ideas. But he also had many followers, and amongthem was Plato, who recorded Socrates' ideas in the written works, called dialogues,in which Socrates sets about examining various ideas.Socrates' central concern,then, was the examination of life, and it was his cruel questioning of people'smost valued beliefs ( largely about themselves) that earned him hisenemies--but he remained committed to his task until the very end. According tothe account of his defense at his trial, Socrates

chose death rather than face a life ofignorance: "The life which is unexamined is not worth living. "
