We are sitting at lunch when my friend casually mentions that she and her husband are thinking of “starting a family. ” What she means is that her biological clock has begun its countdown and she is considering the possibility of motherhood.

“We’re taking a survey，’’ she says，half jokingly. “Do you think I should have a baby?”

“It will change your life，’’ I say carefully.

“I know，” she says, “No more sleeping in on Saturdays，no more relaxing vacations. ”

But that is not what I mean at all I look at my friend，trying to decide what to tell her.

I want her to know what she will never learn in childbirth classes. I consider warning her that she will never read a newspaper again without asking “What if that had been my child?” That when she sees pictures of starving children, she will look at the mothers and wonder if anything could be worse than watching your child die.

I feel I should warn her that no matter how many years she has invested in her career, she will be professionally disturbed by motherhood She might successfully arrange for child care, but one day she will be waiting to go into an important business meeting, and she will think about her baby’s sweet smell. She will have to use every ounce of discipline to keep from running home，just to make sure he is all right.

I want her to know that however decisive she may be at the office, she will second- guess herself constantly as a mother. That her life，now so important, will be of less value to her once she has a child. That she will give it up in a moment to save her child, but will also begin to hope for more years，not so much to realize her own dream，but to watch her child realize his.

My friend’s surprised look makes me realize that tears have formed in my eyes. “You’ll never regret it，” I say finally.

A. She will never read a newspaper again.

B. She will become less disciplined at work.

Last summer，Uber finally started allowing its customers to tip their drivers. Nothing actually prevented them from tipping before. At the end of the ride a passenger could have pulled out his wallet，fished around for change and handed the driver a few dollars. But it would have seemed foolish to do so，when everything else about the deal was handled through a few taps of the app. The app didn’t enable tipping, so riders didn’t tip.

All of this stresses the difficult problem for hotel housekeepers. Increasingly，people book hotel rooms through their computers or phones. They pay，and often pre-pay，with their credit cards. There’s a good chance they don’t even carry cash. And yet to tip the housekeeper—or the bellhop or concierge—there’s no choice but cash.

It is probably no coincidence, then, according to the New York Times，that fewer than one in three hotel guests in America now leave tips for the people who clean their rooms. It’s not as if hotel guests can’t afford them.

Hotel pay varies widely, but some housekeepers rely on tips for their life. Housekeepers in some cities made as low as $10 an hour last year. After the Marriott chain started leaving envelopes in 160,000 rooms for housekeeper tips，tipping seemed to have increased, according to the Times. But Marriott ended the practice a few weeks later, finding it unpopular with guests, some of whom felt pressured into tipping.

A better solution would be to go the Uber route. Upon checkout (or electronic checkout)，guests could be asked if they’d like to tip their housekeeper. This would be similar to what happens at the end of a ride on ride-hailing apps，or on tablet screens in shops.

8. Why does the author mention Uber in the first paragraph?

A. To introduce the topic. B. To advertise the app.

C. To arouse an argument. D. To make a comparison.

9. Why do fewer hotel guests leave tips?

A. They can’t afford them.

B. They prefer to pay cash tips.

C. They can’t tip on the app.

D. They’ve paid tips in advance.

10. What can we learn from Marriot’s practice?

A. People didn’t tip. B. Some felt forced to pay.

C. Room service improved. D. Guests preferred to tip by card.

11. What is the text mainly about?

A. Nothing stops customers tipping.

B. Housekeepers live happily on tips.

C. Tipping on apps is the only solution.

D. Cash-free deals make it harder to tip.

D

Sleep problems in early childhood may be linked to the development of certain mental health disorders in adolescence, according to a new research.

A study of 7,155 children in the United Kingdom found that waking up frequently during the night and irregular sleep routines as babies and toddlers was linked to psychotic experiences in children aged 12 and 13. Also, children who slept for shorter periods at night were more likely to be associated with borderline personality disorder at ages 11 and 12.

The research, published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry, was the first time possible links between early childhood sleep problems and adolescent psychotic experiences and borderline personality disorder (BPD) symptoms have been examined.

“We know from previous research that persistent nightmares in children have been associated with both psychosis and borderline personality disorder,” said lead author Isabel at the Institute of Mental Health at the University of Birmingham.

“But nightmares don’t tell the whole story. We’ve found that, in fact, a number of behavioral sleep problems in childhood can point towards these problems in adolescence,” she said.

Adolescence, typically defined as the ages between 10 and 19, is a key period in human development because of brain and hormonal changes, and it is now thought to be when many mental health problems start.

Prior research in Australia found that babies with persistent severe sleep problems in their first year were at greater risk for anxiety and emotional issues in later childhood. Sleep problems in children and adolescents have been shown to predict the development of various emotional and behavioral problems, including depression, anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, risk-taking and aggression. However, findings have been inconsistent, especially when based on objective measurements of sleep, rather than parental reports.

Sleep and mental health are closely connected in adults, with sleep problems increasing the risk for developing particular mental illnesses as well as resulting in mental health issues.

12. What can we know from paragraph 3?

A. Childhood sleep problems probably cause youth mental health problems.

B. Severe sleep problems in childhood lead to emotional issues.

C. Persistent nightmares in children are closely related to psychosis.

D. The research has not been known to the public.

13. What does “it” refer to in paragraph 6?

A. Adolescence. B. Key period. 

C. Human development D. Hormonal change.

14. According to the Australian research, older children who had long-term serious sleep issues at one year old are more likely to ________.

A. grow slowly B. develop attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder

C. do badly in lessons D. suffer from anxiety

15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. A Study About Childhood Sleep Problems Is Under Progress

B. Pay Attention to Children Who Lack Sleep

C. Childhood Sleep Issues Linked to Adolescent Mental Health Problems

D. How to Help Children Develop a Good Sleep Habit

How do we rid ourselves of the negative (消极的) thoughts and return to a place of peace and acceptance? Read on for some expert-guided tips.

First, don’t suppress (抑制) the negative thought. “Research shows that it’s important not to suppress negative thoughts as this only makes it worse. ___16___ Then, select a positive thought or visual to engage with in place of the negative thought that you set free,” Dr. Carla Marie Manly, and author of Joy from Fear, tells She Knows.

___18___ “Just because you have a thought doesn’t mean it’s true. When you notice you’re being hard on yourself or thinking very negatively, take a step back and question the thought you’re having,” suggests Touroni. “___19___ Are you jumping to conclusions?”

Try a positive message mantra (咒语). When negative thoughts get a hold on you, Manly recommends focusing on a positive message or mantra that feels strong and calming for you. “For example, your mantra might be, ‘All will be well. ___20___’ ” Manly suggests keeping a copy of your mantra in your wallet, on your mirror, and on your desk for a handy reminder during stressful moments.

52. A recent survey shows most middle school students often communicate with their parents, but there are still some who think it embarrassing to share their ideas with parents.

Actually everyone should attach importance to family communication. It can strengthen the bond of the whole family and bridge the gap between children and parents. Besides, sharing your personal problems and emotions will greatly help reduce the pressure on you and build up your confidence.

As for my family, we have a special dinner together every Saturday evening, over which everyone present takes turns to share his/her problem while the others try to suggest solutions. In this way the whole family can enjoy every single bit of life. I think my family will stick to the tradition forever.
