【题目】阅读理解
Many little girls like flowers, watching butterflies and riding small horses. A lot of them also like cars, robots and spaceships. But most girls' clothing only has pictures of flowers, butterflies or horses.
Two mothers decided to make clothes that include all the things that little girls do and love.
Six-year-old Bella loves to play with cars. So her dress has pictures of cars on it.
“We haven't found this type of dress in the store,” Cathy, Bella's mother, says.
The car dress is from a new girl's clothing line called Princess Awesome. Rebecca Melsky set up the business. She says its products (产品) for girls have some designs normally found on boys' clothes.
It all started two years ago when Rebecca was hoping to buy clothing for her two-year-old, who liked robots, trucks and spaceships.
“One day when I walked through a girls' store. I thought to myself I wish they'd make one of those beautiful dresses that also have a robot on it because she will love that. And I thought someone should do that. Maybe I should do that.” Rebecca said.
Her friend Eva St. Clair believed she should, and their business was born. The women sold the first 70 dresses they made at a market. So they decided to expand(扩展)their business online. Their products sold very well there, too.
“They sold out so fast that I could not make them fast enough. We decided it was time to think about a factory,” Rebecca said.
So they started to raise money from people over the Internet. The women raised more than $215,000 within days, far more than the $35,000 they expected.
“Our biggest challenge (挑战) is going to be how we expand as rapidly as people seem to want us to,” Rebecca said.
The women hope Princess Awesome will expand into products for girls of all ages and all interests.
(1)Bella's clothing is special because it has pictures of ________.
A.flowers
B.horses
C.cars
D.butterflies
(2)Princess Awesome was started ________.
A.by Cathy and Rebecca
B.because of six-year-old Bella

(3)The dresses made by Rebecca and her friend ________.
A.sold better online than at the market
B.helped them get a job in a factory
C.were popular among girls
D.were sold expensively
(4)What is the most difficult thing Rebecca and her friend will face?
A.Meeting the needs of all girls.
B.How to make interesting products.

【题目】阅读理解
A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night's sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off(打瞌睡)—if it is milked from a cow at night.
Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety(焦虑).The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder(奶粉) made from cows milked both during the day and at night. Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.
Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.
While the effect of cow milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who have trouble falling asleep at night.
Previous (以前的)studies have also showed that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.
(1)According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.
A.started sleep more easily
B.were more anxious
C.were less active
D.woke up later
(2)Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?
A.It's been tested on mice for ten years
B.It can make people more energetic

D.It's used in sleeping drugs
(3)What can be a suitable title for the text?

D.Milk Drinking and Health
(4)How does the author support the theme of the text?
A.By giving examples.

Profi Cheese Slicer
Uses a thin wire to slice up to medium-hard cheeses in four inch sections.
I may own every cheese slicer ever made.I prefer a wire type cheese cutter so I can cut slices that work well on a piece of bread and sandwich.
This cheese slicer is great for both tasks.It even has adjustable tension on the two cutting wires.A point of information: I did break a wire cutting a very hard piece of cheese with black pepper.Good news,the wire is replaceable,and I was able to purchase new wires to fix it.Maybe best to use on softer cheeses.Lessons learned.But, highly recommended for every other use except for those extremely hard cheeses.
