Guide to Stockholm University Library
Our library offers different types of studying places and provides a good studying environment.
Zones
The library is divided into different zones. The upper floor is a quiet zone with over a thousand places for silent reading, and places where you can sit and work with your own computer. The reading places consist mostly of tables and chairs. The ground floor is the zone where you can talk. Here you can find sofas and armchairs for group work.
Computers
You can use your own computer to connect to the WiFi specially prepared for notebook computers; you can also use library computers, which contain the most commonly used applications, such as Microsoft Office. They are situated in the area known as the Experimental Field on the ground floor.
Group-study Places
If you want to discuss freely without disturbing others, you can book a study room or sit at a table on the ground floor. Some study rooms are for 2-3 people and others can hold up to 6-8 people. All rooms are marked on the library maps.
There are 40 group-study rooms that must be booked via the website. To book, you need an active University account and a valid University card. You can use a room three hours per day, nine hours at most per week.
Storage of Study Material
The library has lockers for students to store course literature. When you have obtained at least 40 credits, you may rent a locker and pay 400 SEK for a year’s rental period.
Rules to Be Followed
Mobile phone conversations are not permitted anywhere in the library. Keep your phone on silent as if you were in a lecture and exit the library if you need to receive calls.
Please note that food and fruit are forbidden in the library, but you are allowed to have drinks and sweets with you.

If art preserves the culture of the Crow people, then Crow women are the keepers of that culture, cultivating it to reflect the modem day.
Fashion designer Bethany Yellowtail grew up riding horses and running in the fields and swimming in the river and being around her people in the Crow Nation and Northern Cheyenne Indian reservations in southeastern Montana. She knows first-hand the importance of art to maintaining native traditions. In 2015 she turned that knowledge into her own brand: B．Yellowtail. A year later, she created the B．Yellowtail Collective, made up of native artists, to foster economic opportunities for their communities. Many of those artists are women from different tribes but all of them preserve their culture and move it forward through their medium of choice.
Yellowtail and her team work for the native-owned business that’s rooted in community. Artists within the Collective typically receive 70% of profit from retail sales, and for a portion of the pandemic (流行病) the brand has upped that to 100%. The extra money has, of course, increased artists’ income in the past year, but the relationship is interdependent: without the work of those artists, B．Yellowtail wouldn’t exist and native culture would feel the loss.
Dewanda Little Coyote is Yellowtail’s mother. Family is deeply important to their tribe. So is art, which often runs in the family — and along the matriarchal (母系的) side. Little Coyote picked up her entrepreneurial spirit from her parents, who owned a gift shop. “My parents said, ‘If you have hands, create something. Do something, and make a living off of that,’” she said. After her parents passed away, the artist began learning beading (串珠) earrings herself. Dentalium, a tusk shell often used in native jewelry, caught her eye in particular. “I love it, because back in the day, our Cheyenne women wore a lot of dentalium,”

B．To make mobile phone conversations. D．To use group-study rooms anytime.
she said. “So I wanted to give a contemporary look to that — to what our ancestors wore.”
Yellowtail herself learned sewing from her aunts and grandmothers before moving to Los Angeles in 2007 to study fashion design. Now, native women support native women — and matriarchal art evolves.
4．Why did Bethany Yellowtail set up B．Yellowtail? A．To make their culture continue. C．To reflect the modem fashions.
5．What can we learn from the third paragraph? A．Native-owned businesses make money more easily. B．The profit from the Collective has fallen sharply. C．Local artists love to work in their community.
D．Artists, income is related to the development of native culture. 6．Why is Dewanda Little Coyote mentioned in the text? A．To prove she loves her daughter deeply. B．To show how native culture is handed down. C．To praise her efforts to help the young.
D．To appeal to more women to join in jewelry design. 7．What kind of person is Bethany Yellowtail? A．Humorous, modest and cooperative. C．Independent, competitive and creative.
Researchers out of Australia’s Flinders University recently studied various physical reactions during sleep when exposed to noise. They found that certain levels of noise while sleeping, even those below recommended safe levels, may affect a person’s cardiovascular (心血管的) response. When slowly activated during sleep, these responses “could potentially have adverse effects on the cardiovascular system,” said researchers.
Researchers exposed 20 adult participants to various decibels (分贝) of wind farm and road noise while asleep, and then monitored physical responses including blood flow and heart rates as well as sleep awakenings. Although asleep, participants reacted to these noises, as found by the researchers.
For example, a 48-decibel (dB) noise, which is quieter than the 50-dB hum of a refrigerator, was 3. 4 times more likely to cause a change in participants’ pulse wave

B．Traditional, cautious and outgoing. D．Creative, determined and selfless. B．To become rich as soon as possible. D．To inspire more women to work.
amplitude (脉搏波振幅), which is a measurement that relates to blood flow. Participants’ heart rates responded to the noise as well. After being exposed to a noise of over 40 dB, they experienced an increase followed by a decrease in their heart rates. The study noted that these sound levels are under the recommended 70 dB limit by the World Health Organization.
Physiological reactions that the study monitored, such as heart rates and blood flow, may root in the proper responses that may be “potentially needed to defend against threats during sleep,” researchers said.
Sleep is typically a time for the body to rest and recover, and noise-caused activation of these cardiovascular responses during sleep may prevent a person from getting the proper amount of healthy sleep they need.
Researchers noted that being exposed to noise pollution during sleep may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, such as hypertension, heart disease, and other harmful health effects. To help reduce the potential increased health risks caused by frequent noise-caused sleep disturbances, researchers note that their findings help create public policies around noise levels during sleep.
8．What docs the underlined word “adverse” in the first paragraph mean? A．Positive.
B．Obvious.
C．Harmful.
D．Common.
9．Which of the following will NOT react to the noises? A．Pulse wave amplitude. C．Blood flow and heart rates.
B．Sense of safety and duty. D．Possible sleep awakening.
10．What do researchers hope to see after their findings? A．All people can rest and recover in noise-free environments. B．Physiological reactions can be monitored for most people. C．Frequent noise-caused sleep disturbances will disappear soon. D．Official policies can be put on noise pollution to guarantee better sleep. 11．What is the main idea of the text? A．Noise during sleep affects your heart. B．Noise-free sleep is changing your life. C．Noise pollution during sleep will be banned. D．Various physical reactions arise during sleep.
Scot Case, Vice President of the environmental marketing firm Terra Choice, was not

happy. Case last year sent his researchers into a big-box retail store to evaluate the green advertising claims of some of the products on its shelves. The results were shocking, of the 1,018 products Terra Choice surveyed, all but one failed to live up fully to their green boasts.
He couldn’t believe the result, and had his team redo the survey, but the results came back the same. “It just shows we’re awash in greenwash.” He said.
Many consumers may not have heard the term green washing, but they’ve surely experienced it — misleading marketing about the environmental benefits of a product. Greenwashing isn’t new — ever since the environment was an issue in the early 1970s. As going green has become big business, environmental advocates worry that truly green companies could get lost in the situation.
“We have such a challenge ahead of us on climate change, says Kevin Tuerff, a co-founder of the marketing consultancy EnviroMedia. “Greenwashing harms the effort we need to be making.”
The first step to cleaning up greenwashing is to identify it, and Tuerff and his partners have hit on an innovative way to spotlight particularly abnormal examples. They’ve launched the Greenwashing Index a website that allows consumers to post ads that might be examples of greenwashing and rate them on a scale of 1 to 5 — 1 is a little green lie; S is a big green lie.
It’s a simple device, but it shows the power of the Interne to uncover misleading ads with a simple Web search, any consumer can find out the index they want to know. Googling isn’t the only way to take out the greenwashing, however. The Terra Choice website offers a list of what it calls the “six sins of greenwashing” — six simple signs that should remind consumers of a company that is more interested in selling the earth than saving it.
“We have better green products but a lot of exaggerated (夸张的) claims,” says Case. “That could be enough to destroy the whole green movement” — and that’s not a little green lie.
12．Which of the following statements is TRUE about greenwashing? A．It is harmful for the environment.
B．It is a special way to wash so as to save water. C．It is environment-friendly so it should be advocated. D．It is beneficial for both the consumers and the companies. 13．Which measure should be used to tackle the green washing?

B．Energy-efficient products made of harmful material. C．Food which is low in nutrition but high in calorie. D．Pesticides which are said to be environment-friendly. 15．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．The effort on environmental protection. B．The advocation of green advertisements.
C．The distinction between green products and common ones. D．The distinction between real environmental claims and false ones.

“Always wear sunscreen.” “Eat a balanced diet.” “A penny saved is a penny earned.” You probably all learned these lessons as a kid.
