12、eness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving.

David Helfgott seemed meant from childhood to be “one of the truly great p
31、ianists,” but the pressures of performing (and pleasing his father) resulted in a complete breakdown. Ten years in a mental institution didnt weaken Helfgotts musical gift: When he was rediscovered, he was playing concertos(协奏曲) in a bar. Shine received seven Oscar nominations(提名), and Geoffrey Rush
32、 won best actor for his performance of Helfgott.Life Is Beautiful (1997)Nothings more powerful than the love between a parent and a child. In this heartbreaking Italian film, a father (Roberto Benigni) makes an unbelievable sacrifice for his 4-year-old son: trapped in a Nazi concentration camp in 19

38、all won Academy Award for best actor. D. The main characters are sick to some degree but succeed.DFor many of us, a little time with our smartphones or iPads before sleep is the highlight of the night. But would you still think it is relaxing if you knew that it damages or destroys your sleep? Scien
39、tists say thats exactly what it does.In ancient times, when there were no lamps, telephones or smartphones, the sun was the main source of light. When the sun went down, our brains took that as a signal to start producing melatonin(褪黑素), a chemical that helps us sleep.However, a healthy amount of me
40、latonin can only be produced in complete darkness. Any light in your bedroom even the one on the alarm clock or the charging indicator on your cellphone could disturb the process, not to mention something as bright as smartphone and iPad screens. We tend to hold these much closer than a television o
41、r a laptop, which allows them to shoot far more light straight into our eyes.“This is particularly worrisome in populations such as young adults and adolescents, who already tend to be night owls,” said researcher Brittany Wood at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. “Lack of sleep among teens is leadi
42、ng to depression, selfharm, low concentration and poor performance at school,” she added.While all lights are the enemy of sleep, not all colors of light have the same effect. Our eyes are particularly sensitive to blue light, which is common during the day. Most of the light coming from electronic
43、screens is blue light and it fools our brain into thinking its still daytime. By contrast, orange or red light has less influence on melatonin production, because our brains recognize it as a signal that the day is ending, according to The Telegraph.Asking yourself to keep your hands off your smartp
44、hone before bedtime might seem unreasonable, but you should at least remember to dim the screen or hold it farther away from your eyes. You could also wear a pair of orange sunglasses that take away the harmful blue light.33. According to the passage, we can know _.A. its a good habit to play with s

46、ore melatonin will be produced.B. The lighter it is, the more melatonin will be produced.C. The more melatonin you have, the worse youll sleep.D. The more electrical equipment you have, the more melatonin will be produced.35. In the writers opinion, which is a correct suggestion?A. You should go to
47、bed when the sun goes down.B. You should use an orange or red light electronic screen.C. You should wear a pair of blue sunglasses when sleeping.D. You should avoid blue light as possible as you can before bedtime.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。Identity theft (身份盗用)
