B
Having a good sleep is always my dream. Ever since I was a teenager, I've had problems falling and staying asleep. When I do fall asleep, an hour later I'm right back up, worrying about study of the kids or something stupid I did in high school. It was like I couldn't turn my brain off.
The doctor told me that I couldn't sleep well because of anxiety (焦虑). But I considered myself a positive (积极的) person, and my sleep problems have given me too much trouble. So I decided to do something about it, and I carefully found the solutions to the problems.
I read lots of research. Along the way, I learned a surprising fact. A study found that about 25% of all Americans experience insomnia (失眠) each year. That's awful! So I started trying different methods and recording my results.
First, I got a white noise machine. My mind just focused on the noise, and it ended up having an opposite effect (作用). Then I tried earplugs (耳塞). However, it was hard to fall asleep with earplugs because they were very uncomfortable! After that, I tried to take Xanax. But once again, I didn't love it. Even though it helped me get to sleep and stay asleep, it left me feeling weak the next day. If I kept taking it, I thought it would do harm to my health.
Recently, I have kept reading articles about how a new blanket might be good for sleep and anxiety. I didn't pay much attention to it at first. But the more I read, the more it seemed like this blanket might be of good help.
(
A. She didn't do well in high school.
B. She can't have a sleep for more than one hour.
C. She has been troubled by the problem for many years.
D. Taking care of her kids didn't allow her to get enough sleep.
(
A. A machine to help fall asleep.
B. Soft music to help calm down.
C. A tool used to cover the face.
D. Medicine used to help fall asleep.
(
a. The writer took Xanax.
b. The writer found earplugs couldn't help.
c. The writer tried a white noise machine.
d. The writer found a blanket that might help.
e. The writer knew about a quarter of Americans experience insomnia every year.
A. e-c-a-b-d
B. c-b-a-e-d
C. e-c-b-a-d
D. e-d-a-b-c
(
A. How she fought against insomnia.
