Tyler Kellogg drove more than 3，000 miles last year. His goal is to help as many people as he can.
Tyler Kellogg calls himself a long time do-gooder， and last summer he really did a lot of good. After collecting together $2，000 and using his car as a sleeping space， the 21-year-old college student hit the road. His goal was to do random （任意的） acts of kindness for 100 strangers.
He drove 1，600 miles， from his parents house in Adams Center， New York， to the Florida Keys， then back again. “The first person I helped was a person fixing a boat lift on a lake in Oneida， New York，” Kellogg remembers. “I was shaking when I asked if he needed a hand.” What if he thought Kellogg was crazy？ “When he said， ‘Can you help me get this lift into the water？ I knew everything was going to be fine.”
He helped a policeman fix a downed barricade （路障） in Washington， D. C. and spread many yards of mulch （林地覆蓋物） in Maryland and North Carolina. And somewhere outside Atlanta， he met a man who was crying because his wife had recently died and he had no one to talk to. “For three hours we sat in his garden，” Kellogg says. “When I left， he said， ‘Thank you. I realize now that my life will go on.”
In 55 days， Kellogg helped 115 strangers and made an exciting discovery. “You dont have to have much money，” he says. “You just have to ask people， ‘How can I help？”

As most people know， sandstorms have swept across some cities and areas around the world， polluting the air and disturbing daily lives of human beings. People look dirty and suffer many kinds of illnesses， such as breath difficulty. The sandstorm is such a serious problem that it has not only weakened the industrial and agricultural development but also caused a lot of trouble to the living conditions of people.
When subjects read on the iPad as compared to the paper books， they reported feeling less sleepy at night and less active the following morning. People also took longer to fall asleep on the iPad nights， and the blood tests showed that their melatonin secretion （分泌） was delayed by an hour and a half.
The researchers conclude that given the rise of e-readers and the increasingly widespread use of e-things among children and adolescents， more research into the “long-term effects of these devices on health and safety is urgently needed”. Czeisler and colleagues go on， in the research paper， to note， “Reading an iPad in bed may increase cancer risk.”
However， software has been developed that can reduce some of the blue light from the screens of phones and computers according to time of day， and there are also glasses that are made to filter （过滤） short wavelengths. While they seem like a logical solution for the nighttime tech users， it needs more research.
32. What were the subjects asked to do in Charles Czeislers experiment？
A. Sit in a row and receive the strict tests.
B. Have their sleep patterns observed all night.
C. Read a paper book and an iPad at the same time.
D. Have their blood tested per hour during the experiment.
33. Paragraph 3 tells us the iPad readers were likely to ___ .
A. feel less tired and sleepy in the day
B. fall asleep more easily after reading
C. have a lot more melatonin secretion
D. become less energetic the next morning
34. The special software recently developed can ___ .
A. be used in all the e-things widely and safely
B. filter the blue light from your iPad completely
C. weaken the harm done by doing nighttime e-reading
D. help prevent eyes being harmed by short wavelengths
35. What can be the best title for the text？
A. No E-reading in Bed Before Sleep
B. New Software for Night E-readers
C. Wrong Behaviors Before Bedtime
D. No Games on iPad in Bed
