11.How to Sleep Better
If you're having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning,waking up more than once,for example),this text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful night's sleep.
1.Get on schedule.Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality.(36)F For example,if you normally wake up at 6am on weekdays to get to work,you might go to bed around 10pm,because that's when you start to feel sleepy,and it's also a good time to ensure 8hours of sleep.If,on the weekend,you sleep until 9am,you probably won't be able to fall asleep that night until 1am.
2.Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed.(37)D Digestion slows down while asleep,and a full stomach may interrupt sleep.Similarly,you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach,as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns.
3.(38)B Exposure to light during the time when you're supposed to be sleeping can destroy your body's internal clock.Turn your light off,or use a very dim(暗淡的) night light.(39)A  They include windows,LED clocks and computer lights.
4.Change your sleeping position.You may think that it's impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren't fully aware of what you are doing,but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference.(40)G

A.Try to avoid all sources of light.
B.Keep the room as dark as possible.
C.Make note of unusual circumstances.
D.Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep.
E.Sleep is considered to be adequate only when there is no daytime sleepiness.
F.In other words,sudden change of sleeping time will affect your"biological clock".
G.If you wake up in the middle of the night,make an effort to have a comfortable position.
16.On Saturday my Catalan friend invited me to come along to a Calotada.Being from the UK,I had no idea what this would need,but he promised me it was a fun Catalan (卡塔兰) tradition,and so I agreed to go.I wasn't disappointed!
First,we took a train out to a Small town near Tarragona,about an hour away from Barcelona centre.I was already amazed by how different everything looked from the city as the train rushed through small towns,all sitting on the coastline.
When we arrived,we were greeted by the sight of a small wind instrument band and about a dozen people dancing in a circle.While my friend later told me that it is a traditional Catalan dance called La Sardana,at the time I was totally confused at what I was seeing!It seemed so strange but yet so lovely that they were doing this dance completely for themselves.
Once we had been fully entertained by the dancers,we finally went inside for the Calatada and it was soon revealed to me what it actually was.We sat down at the table and a huge plate of leeks (大葱) was placed in front of us.It was explained to us that you have to peel the leeks with your fingers,dip them in a (delicious!) sauce and eat them.This sounds easier than it was.
My friend had been right in the end,it had been an extremely fun day and it felt great to get involved in a local tradition of a place I am temporarily calling home.It really inspired me to learn more about the Catalan culture,although hopefully next time it will be something less messy!

A.By taxi.

B.They participated in the local dancers.
C.The author doesn't think the Catalan culture is perfect.

6.The Cardboard Box Office is a project created by Lilly and Leon Mackie,who recently moved from New Zealand to Sydney,Australia.The transfer left them with a mountain of cardboard boxes,and the arrival of their baby son Orson 10 months ago meant their social lives were"completely altered (改变."So the couple decided to try to make some fun of the situation.
"We started after creating a one-off photo where we wanted to portray the general mess and sleep-deprivation (睡眠) that comes with being new parents,"Lilly Mackie said in an email."People seemed to really love it and asked for more.We had a lot of weekends at home and a stockpile of cardboard so we thought‘Why not?'It went from there."
The Mackies took the first photos in September and have portrayed 14 movies so far,including their versions of"Cast Away"(or"Castababy")and"Jurassic Park"(or"Goo-goo Gaa-gaa-rassic Park").Even"Star Wars"gets the Mackie treatment,with Orson holding a cardboard tube in place of a saber (军刀)and mom sporting impressive Princess Leia-like hair buns (HI made out of brown paper in the photo titled"Wah Wars."
The family usually creates the sets on'Saturdays and posts the whimsical pictures on their blog and Facebook page,which have almost 3,000 fans.Besides cardboard boxes,the photos feature costumes,props (道具),and sets created out of everyday household items,toys,"and three individuals slowly losing their sense,"they joked on their blog.
Leon,a children's book designer at a large publishing company,and Lilly,a stay-at-home mom,are both film buffs and photography fans.The baby is also becoming a connoisseur(鉴赏家)of movies and cardboard boxes.
"Orson seems to find the photo shoots quite fascinating and enjoys exploring the sets-and tearing things apart.There's never a dull moment for him on Saturday nights,"Lilly said."When he gets a little older,we'11 bring in a lot more of his input,asking for his ideas on films and sets.Make it a real family thing.I think he may come up with some quite funny things."

13.It may come as a shock to owners,but dogs hate being hugged,a study has shown.
Animal psychologists say dogs feel stressed and unhappy when they are hugged by their owners,because it stops them being able to run away.
In a study which analysed 25 pictures of dogs as they were being hugged,eight out of 10animals looked clearly uncomfortable.
Experts at The Kennel Club,and Battersea Dogs & Cats Home,also agreed that owners should not treat their dogs like children,because most pets did not like to be hugged.
The new study was carried out by Dr Stanley Coren,a professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia.He analysed images of dogs being hugged by adults and children he found on the Internet,looking for signs of stress.
At an extreme end,when a dog is especially anxious it shows its teeth or may bite,but Dr Coren said there are other signs that it may be uncomfortable but they are small and not obvious.
Signs of stress include the dog folding its ears down,half-moon eyes or turning its head away to avoid eye contact.If the dog has its eyes closed,it could also be a sign of anxiety.Open its mouth or raising one paw is another warning sign.
"The clear suggestion to come out of this research is to save your hugs for your two-footed family members and lovers.
"It is clearly better from the dog's point of view if you express your fondness for your pet with a pat,a kind word,and maybe a treat.
"Some people think that giving their dog a hug is a nice thing to do,but the reality is that a family pet will often tolerate a hug but doesn't like it.
"On the whole dogs are sociable animals and love communicating with people,but any action that restricts a dog's movement could make them uncomfortable and it is important for an owner to recognize the signs of stress or anxiety."

9.According to the study,what might a dog not feel when it is being hugged?C
A.Stressed.
B.Uncomfortable.
C.Shocked.
D.Unhappy.
10.Which of the following is not the sign of stress for dogs?D
A.Showing its teeth
B.Folding its ears down.
C.Raising one paw.
D.Keeping eye contact.
11.According to the passage,what are dog owners suggested to do?A
A.Hug their family members more.
B.Stop touching their dogs.
C.Stop treating their dogs as friends.
D.Leave their dogs alone.
12.What's the main idea of this passage?B
A.A study shows that dogs hate being treated like children.
B.A study tells owners that dogs dislike being hugged.
C.A study teaches owners how to treat a stressed dog.
