Over a third of one’s life is spent sleeping with one’s head on a pillow(枕头). A good pillow, in its right height and composition has important effects on one’s sleep and health. There is an old way of medical treatment called “smell the medicine to cure the disease” which means that people smell medicines while asleep for disease treatment.
In China, since ancient times, people have put plants into pillows for their health. Medicinal pillows get medical treatment closely with people’s life and keep people working in the process. Back in the Tang Dynasty (A.D. 618—907), the famous Chinese doctor Sun Simiao made medicinal pillows to treat aches in the neck and head, getting good results. The medicine that should be put into the pillow should be carefully chosen according to one’s illness.
Pillows filled with the skins of beans, seeds, dried flowers and wheat are good for the eyesight and keep the mind clear, since their smell helps one go to sleep. Furthermore, in South China, a strange pillow has long been popular during hot seasons. Peasants collect silkworm excrement (排泄物) and fill pillows with it. Such pillows then fetch a high price, because people believe they can successfully cool their babies.
11. If a man can live to be 80 years old, how many years will he spend on a pillow?
A. About 26 years.
B. About 50 years.
C. About 10 years.
12. What does the underlined word “composition” (in Paragraph 1) mean?
A. The color of a pillow.
B. What is filled inside a pillow.
C. The pictures drawn on a pillow.
13. What kind of pillows are good for eyesight?
A. Those filled with medicine.
B. Those filled with silkworm excrement.
C. Those filled with the skins of beans, seeds, dried flowers and wheat.
14. Why do the pillows full of silkworm excrement sell well?
A. They are clean and good for the eyesight.
B. People believe babies feel cool with the heads on the pillows in hot weather.
C. They look nice.
15. What’s the best title for the passage?
