Question

【題目】Not getting the sleep you need?

Is your pillow the problem?

How well did you sleep last night?

Did you toss and turn all night? Did you wake up with a sore neck or a headache? Do you feel like you need a nap even though you have slept for eight hours? Just like you. I would wake up in the morning with all of those problems and I couldn’t figure out why. Like many people who have trouble getting a good night’s sleep, my lack of sleep was affecting the quality of my life. I wanted to do something about my sleep problems, but nothing that I tried worked.

The pillow was the problem

I bought every pillow on the market that promised to give me a better night’s sleep. None of them worked. Finally, I decided to invent one myself. I asked everyone I knew what qualities they would like to see in their “perfect pillow” and got many responses: “I’d like a pillow that never goes flat,” “I’d like my pillow to stay cool” and “I’d like a pillow that adjusts to me regardless of my sleep position.” I spent the next two years of my life inventing MyPillow.

MyPillow to the rescue

Flash forward ten years and MyPillow, Mike Lindell’s revolutionary pillow design, has helped five million people improve the quality of their sleep. Lindell has been featured on numerous talk shows, including For Business News and Imus in the Morning. Lindell and MyPillow have also appeared in feature stories in The New York Times, MyPillow has been selected as the Official Pillow of the U.S. National Sleep Foundation.

“Until I was diagnosed with various sleep issues, I had no idea why my sleep was so interrupted throughout the night. I watched Imus each morning and heard endless ads about MyPillow. I ordered one and now, I wake up rested and ready to conquer (征服) the day ahead. Thank you for helping me remember what it's like to sleep like a baby!

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】C

【解析】

文是一篇應用文，介紹了一種能夠幫助人們提高睡眠質量的枕頭——MyPillow。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章內容，特別是MyPillow to the rescue部分中的“Flash forward ten years and MyPillow, Mike Lindell’s revolutionary pillow design, has helped five million people improve the quality of their sleep. .”及“Buy now at mypillow.com or call 800-299-4018

”可知，邁克·林德爾革命性的枕頭設計MyPillow已經幫助500萬人提高了他們的睡眠質量，登錄mypillow.com或致電800-299-4018進行購買，由此可知，本文主要介紹的是一種能夠幫助人們提高睡眠質量的枕頭——MyPillow，目的自然是鼓勵人們購買這種枕頭，故B項正確。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)The pillow was the problem部分中的“I spent the next two years of my life inventing MyPillow.”可知，我花了兩年時間來發(fā)明MyPillow，再根據(jù)MyPillow to the rescue部分中的“MyPillow, Mike Lindell’s revolutionary pillow design”可知，MyPillow這種革命性的枕頭是邁克·林德爾設計的，由此可知前兩段是邁克·林德爾寫的，故D項正確。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)How well did you sleep last night?部分中的“Like many people who have trouble getting a good night’s sleep, my lack of sleep was affecting the quality of my life. I wanted to do something about my sleep problems, but nothing that I tried worked.”可知，像許多難以睡好覺的人一樣，我睡眠不足影響了我的生活質量，我想做點什么來解決我的睡眠問題，但我嘗試過的一切都沒有奏效（他睡不好覺）；再根據(jù)The pillow was the problem部分中的“I bought every pillow on the market that promised to give me a better night’s sleep. None of them worked.”可知，我在市場上買了每一個保證能讓我睡個好覺的枕頭。它們都沒起作用（那些承諾能改善睡眠的枕頭對他都不管用），經歷以上兩件事情后，邁克·林德爾決定發(fā)明MyPillow，故C項正確。
