On a local level, the damage of the forest required by full-sun fields affects the area’s birds and animals．The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other species that depend on the trees’ flowers and fruits．Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home．As a result, many species are quickly dying out．
On a more global level, the destruction of the rainforest for full-sun coffee fields also threatens human life．Medical research often makes use of the forests’ plant and animal life, and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases．In addition, new coffee-growing techniques are poisoning the water locally, and eventually the world’s groundwater．
Both locally and globally, the continued spread of full-sun coffee plantations could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology．The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world’s climate, and studies show that the loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming．Moreover, the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic soil conditions．
It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects of life, from the local government to the global ecology．But consumers do have a choice．They can purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible, although at a higher cost．The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee． 33．The purpose of the passage is to ________．
A．persuade B．advertise C．entertain D．instruct 34 What can we learn about full-sun coffee production from Paragraph 4?
A．It improves the local soil conditions． B．It leads to air pollution and global warming． C．It slows down the loss of the shade trees． techniques．
35．Which of the following shows the structure of the whole passage?
D．It limits the spread of new growing

How to Sleep Better
If you’re having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning, waking up more than once, for example), this text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep． Get on schedule．Changing our sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality． 36 For example, if you normally wake up at 6 a．m．on weekdays to get to work, you might go to bed around 10 p．m．, because that’s when you start to feel sleepy, and it’s also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep．If, on the weekend, you sleep until 9 a．m．, you probably won’t be able to fall asleep that night until 1 a．m．
37 Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep．Digestion slows down while asleep, and a full stomach may interrupt sleep．Similarly, you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach, as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns．
38 Exposure to light during the time when you’re supposed to be sleeping can disturb your body’s internal clock．Turn your light off, or use a very dim night light． 39 They include windows, LED clocks, computer lights and cable boxes．
Change your sleeping position．You may think that it’s impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren’t fully aware of what you are doing, but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference． 40
A．If you wake up in the middle of the night, try to make an effort．

C．Only have a balanced diet in the evening． D．Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed．
