American often greet each other simply with “Hello” or “Hi”. They believe such an informal greeting often implies(暗示) a close and 1.relationship. Similarly, Americans don’t have a formal “farewell”. To Americans, a friendly and informal relationship is the most important thing. Yes, a proper introduction will leave a good first impression on others.

However, American introductions are usually2. simple. In the United States, most people don't like using Mr., Mrs. or Miss in 3..They find these terms too formal. They4. first names to formal titles in most cases. For example, a gentleman may say, "Glad to meet you. I'm Miller. But call me Paul." Sometimes a woman you meet for the first time may say, "Don't call me Mrs. Smith. Just call me Sally." So when your American friends do not use your last name or titles, don't feel that they have been 5..They only want to show friendliness.

When you first get to know an American, he may ask you," Where do you work?" "Are you6.?" or "Do you have 7.?" Such questions may be too 8. to Europeans. But Americans do sometimes ask such questions. They would like to get 9. to these questions. In this way they can get better acquainted(熟悉)with you and have a topic for

10.conversation with you.

Are you having a problem going to sleep? Have you tried many ways such as drinking a glass of warm milk or listening to some soft music or counting sheep but it still does not work? Cooling down your brain may be a great way to help you get good sleep.

A new study has found that you might fall asleep quicker if you try cooling down your brain. Daniel and Eric from the University of Pittsburgh Medical School led the study. They examined twelve people who had insomnia. The other twelve had no problems in sleeping. Each of them wore a cap on their heads at bed time.

The caps had tubes (管) inside filled with water. The researchers moved the water through the tubes and then changed the temperature of the water. People had trouble sleeping (called “patients” in the following parts of the passage) often had more chemical reactions (化学反应) in their brains. The researchers thought lowering the temperature of the head might help.

On the first two nights of testing, the patients wore no water caps. During the next two nights, the caps were worn, but the water was not cooled. Then the researchers cooled the water a little for another two nights. On the final two nights of the study, the temperature of the water was made much cooler.

The situation of the insomnia did not become better until the temperature was about 14ºC. Most of the patients fell asleep faster and slept better when the coolest water was moving around their heads.

This is the only beginning of the head temperature study. But they believe they have discovered something important that needs more research.
