Article: With all the responsibilities we face in our daily lives, it's often hard to get a good night's rest. The problem really lies in the stress that many of us experience. Stress robs you of the rest that you need by putting you in a state of pressure and worry. There are, of course, some methods that can help you relax, but only a few of them give you a good night's sleep. One of them is soothing music for sleep. Sleep music is not just for encouraging relaxation, it also can be used for various situations. Want to have a relaxing evening by yourself? Practice yoga in a comfortable environment? Think over something important? Then put on your favorite sleep music. Sleep music is not only fit for adults, but has also been known to be good for children. Soothing music helps your children go to sleep more easily. Massage therapists can also benefit from using soothing music for sleep in their clinics . This allows clients to benefit more from the session. For example, massage therapists can provide the relaxation of the body through their techniques, and the music helps clients relax their minds, helping them to relax deeper and feel more refreshed after the session. You'll never run out as there are some artists and companies that make sleep music. Choosing the right music is important as well. Like most music that you can find and buy in stores, sleep music has different styles, sounds, and subjects. There are those that are specifically for relaxation, while some are intended to help you go to sleep. The great thing about sleep music is that it will be something you'll be using for months, even years to come. If you want a deeper relaxation and better sleep, give some soothing music for sleep a try. Question: According to the text, people often don't sleep well because _ .

Article: Robots have proved to be valuable tools for soldiers,surgeons and homeowners hoping to keep the carpet clean. But in each case,they are designed and built specifically for the job. Now there is a movement under way to build multipurpose machines-robots that can move about in changing environments such as offices or living rooms and work with their hands. All-purpose robots are not,of course,a new idea."It's been five or 10 years from happening for about 50 years,"says Eric Berger,co-director of the Personal Robotics Program at Willow Garage,a Silicon Valley organization. The delay is in part because even simple tasks require a huge set of capabilities. For a robot to fetch a mug,for example,it needs to make sense of data gathered by a variety of sensors-laser scanners identifying potential blocking objects,cameras searching for the target,force feedback in the fingers that grasp the mug,and more. Yet Berger and other experts are confident that real progress could be made in the next decade. The problem,according to Willow Garage,is the lack of a common platform for all that computational effort. Instead of enlarging the capabilities of a single machine,everyone is designing robots and the software to control them,from the ground up. To help change this,Willow Garage is currently producing 25 copies of its model PR2 (for"Personal Robot 2"),a two-armed,wheeled machine that can switch off the electricity,open doors and move through a room. Ten of the robots will stay in-house,but 10 more will go t o outside research groups,and everyone will share their advances. This way,Berger says,if you want to build the robotic equivalent of a Twitter ,you won't start by constructing a computer."You build the thing that's new." Question: The multipurpose robot may be identified as a machine that_. Yes or no, is the answer "can move about in changing environments and work with their hands"?
No

Article: The airline lost your baggage. The hotel laundry ruined your favorite shirt. The taxi driver asked for more money. When you're abroad, sometimes things go wrong. Now you can do something about it! Use these tips when you want to express an effective complaint in English. No matter how unfair the situation is, it's best to express your complaint politely. In English, you'll sound more polite if you use indirect language. Here are some examples: "I'm sorry to bother you..." Starting a complaint like this puts the listener who may have heard many complaints that day at ease. Use this phrase if the situation isn't that serious. For example, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I wanted a baked potato, not fried." "Can you help me with this?" Everyone would rather be asked to do something than told! So try expressing your complaint as a request for help: "Can you help me with this? My shirt came back from the laundry without buttons." "I'm afraid there may be a misunderstanding." This is a polite way of saying, "Your information is wrong. Please fix it now." You'll most likely use this phrase if you made reservations for a flight, hotel or restaurant, and when you arrive, it's not what you expected. For example, "I'm afraid there may be a misunderstanding. I requested a non-smoking room." "I understand it's not your fault..." Often when you make a complaint, you deal with a person who was not directly responsible for the problem. But the problem isn't your fault, either! This phrase is helpful when you need swift action. Tell the person you're dealing with that you understand they're not at fault and then directly state the problem: "I understand it's not your fault, but the airline promised they would deliver my baggage yesterday." "Excuse me, but I understood that..." Using this phrase lets the person know you're well-informed and doubt they might be trying to take advantage of you. Don't say, "Hey! You're trying to cheat me!" Instead, start indirectly by stating what you know to be true: "I understood that the taxi... Question: Several effective complaints in English are mentioned above EXCEPT _ . Yes or no, is the answer ""Hey! You're trying to cheat me!""?
No
