Five Ideas for Better Sleep

Most people need about eight hours of sleep each night. But many people have trouble sleeping. Lack of sleep can affect work performance, increase our chances of getting sick, and may be linked to weight gain in some people. How can we get the sleep we need? Here are some ideas:

1. You’ve probably noticed how much running around little kids do and how soundly the sleep. Physical activity can decrease stress and help people feel more relaxed. Just don’t work out too close to bedtime because exercise can wake you up.

Say goodnight to electronic devices. 3. You’d better make your bedroom a tech-free zone, at least shut everything down an hour or more before lights out.

Keep a sleep routine. 4. Creating a set bedtime routine can improve the relaxation effect. And you can relax by reading, listening to music or spending time with a pet.

Expect a good night’s sleep. 5. Say Tonight, I will sleep well” several times during the day. This is a very effective psychological suggestion.

English words don’t stay the same. People need new words for new ideas and new inventions. Some new words come into use, and some old words are used in a new way.

English can change by borrowing words from other languages. The word “tomato” was borrowed from Mexico, and “tea” came from China, and so on. Now a great many new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too. New words can be created in other ways. For example, some can be created by adding two words together. “Weekend” and “cookbook” are made up of two parts. Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words. The word “photo” was made from “photograph” by cutting off the end of the longer word. “Plane” was made by cutting off the front part of “airplane”. The names of people and products can become new words. Our “sandwich”　　 was named after a man named Sandwich and “sello(透明胶带)” was a name given by the company that first made the product.

Bigger isn’t always better. People who are skeptical about this argument just need to look at personal computers. It is the continual shrinkage of components that have brought about the explosion of computing power and enabled these computers to be accessible to people across the world.

Inspired by this, researchers have been working on areas where making things small may mean big results. And this year, the Nobel Prize has challenged the convention of celebrating big by presenting the biggest prizes to discoveries on the smallest scales.

The committee presented the Nobel Prize for medicine to Yoshinori Ohsumi of the Tokyo Institute of Technology, for his research on “autophagy”, which is a “self-eating” process seen in cells.

What’s more, in recognition of their working on the unique nature of matter in extreme states and taking their research all the way down to an atomic scale, the Nobel Prize for physics was awarded to three British-born scientists who presently work in the US.

Another exceptional new field is that of nanotechnology（纳米技术）. The Nobel Prize for chemistry was awarded to a scientist who managed to build the world’s tiniest machines out of molecules（分子）, including a nano-sized car, which are so small that they are not seen by the human eye.

Small as the subjects are, the benefits of the scientists’ research are set to be huge. More importantly, their inventions may even eventually be turned into products that benefit mankind.

Ohsumi’s research on “autophagy” shines a light on common diseases such as Parkinson’s and diabetes. As for the molecular motors, they’re preparing to bring huge potential to the fields of medicine and energy. “The ground-breaking discoveries in physics have lighted a firestorm of research, and it’s only a matter of time before their research leads to advances as unimaginable to us now as computer chips were a hundred years ago,” Laura H. Greene, president-elect of the American Physical Society told The New York Times.

1.The underlined word “shrinkage” in Paragraph 1 probably means　　　　　　 .

A. reducing the size　　 B. cutting down the cost

C. improving the quality　　 D. strengthening the function

2.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Nano-sized cars are now popular all over the world.

B. Ohsumi's research has helped cure some common diseases.

C. Three scientists have made a great breakthrough in atomic energy.

D. The Nobel Prize used to have a preference for findings on big scales.

3.What is Laura H. Greene’s attitude to the new discoveries in physics?

A. Positive　　 B. Doubtful

C. Reserved　　 D. Concerned.

4.What is the message the passage conveys?

A. Great minds think alike.

B. Small things make a big difference.

C. Many small streams make a great river.

D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.

In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get a success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

Happiness doesn’t mean money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving（旋转的）door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

1.When you do something wrong, people around you will_______.

A. quarrel with you                         B. help you correct it
