轻焦虑，但不一定能减轻失眠。）根据下文“ArandomizedcontrolledstudyinSwedenin2020lookedat120peoplewithinsomniaandalsodepression,anxietyorothermetaldisorders.Thosewhousedaweightedblanketreportedthattheyhadbettersleepandwerelesstired,anxiousanddepressedduringtheday.”（2020年，瑞典的一项随机对照研究对120名失眠、抑郁、焦虑或其他金属疾病患者进行了研究。那些使用加重毛毯的人报告说，他们睡得更好，白天不那么累、焦虑和抑郁。）可知，研究结果有所不同。故B选项“其他研究则略有不同”切题。故选B项。20．根据下文“Ifyou’resomeonewithcirculatoryconditionssuchasdiabetesorbreathingissues,youshouldcheckwithyourdoctorbeforeusingaweightedblanket,”addsMcGinn.”（“如果你有循环系统疾病，如糖尿病或呼吸问题，你应该在使用加重毯子之前咨询你的医生。”）可知，然而，加重毛毯可能不是对所有人都有效。故D选项“加重毛毯可能不是对所有人都有效”切题。故选D项。21．B22．D23．B24．A25．C26．A27．A28．C29．B30．D31．D32．C33．C34．A35．B【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。这篇文章讲述了一个母亲通过教育孩子学会自力更生的故事。文章的强调通过自己的努力获得的东西更有价值，以及
