     If you are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school, then you are probably
not sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake, and turning in bed until the early hours of the morning
when you eventually fall asleep. When you wake up, you don't feel refreshed, but tired and worn out and
unable to face a new day.
     Dr. Henry Winkle, in a recent newspaper article entitled Stress and Sleep, indicates that stress /
worry and (lack of ) sleep are directly related. Dr. Winkle says, "The more we worry, the less we sleep,
the more we are unable to deal with stress. If we can find a way to get a good night's sleep," he adds,
"we can often find the energy to deal with what's worrying us."
     So, what is a good night's sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order
to keep healthy varies a lot. Seven hours is about the average amount, though strangely enough, sleeping
longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed.
     Dr. Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important. People who work late should try to give
themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed. This could be watching TV or
listening to music. Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you to feel physically as well as
mentally tired. A bedtime drink can also help, but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain
caffeine and will keep you awake. "When you put the light out," Dr. Winkle says, "concentrate on
relaxing your muscles, working slowly up from your feet, and you'll be asleep before you know it."

     The latest research suggests that the key factor separating geniuses from the merely
accomplished is not IQ, a generally bad predictor of success. Instead, it's purposeful
practice. Top performers spend more hours practising their craft. If you wanted to
picture how a typical genius might develop, you'd take a girl who possessed a slightly
above average language ability. It wouldn't have to be a big talent, just enough so that
she might gain some sense of distinction. Then you would want her to meet, say, a
novelist, who coincidentally shared some similar qualities. Maybe the writer was from
the same town, had the same family background, or shared the same birthday.
     This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. It would give her some
idea of a fascinating circle she might someday join. It would also help if one of her parents
died when she was 12, giving her a strong sense of insecurity and fuelling a desperate need
for success. Armed with this ambition, she would read novels and life stories of writers
without end. This would give her a primary knowledge of her field. She'd be able to see
new writing in deeper ways and quickly understand its inner workings.
     Then she would practise writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and errorfocused.
By practising in this way, she delays the automatizing process. Her mind wants to turn conscious,
newly learned skills into unconscious, automatically performed skills. By practising slowly, by
breaking skills down into tiny parts and repeating, she forces the brain to internalize a better
pattern of performance. Then she would find an adviser who would provide a constant stream
of feedback, viewing her performance from the outside, correcting the smallest errors, pushing
her to take on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing problems-how do I get characters into
a room-dozens and dozens of times. She is establishing habits of thought she can call upon in order
to understand or solve future problems.
     The primary quality our young writer possesses is not some mysterious genius. It's the ability to
develop a purposeful, laborious and boring practice routine. The latest research takes some of the
magic out of great achievement. But it underlines a fact that is often neglected. Public discussion is
affected by genetics and what we're "hardwired" to do. And it's true that genes play a role in our
capabilities. But the brain is also very plastic. We construct ourselves through behaviour.
1．The passage mainly deals with ________.
A．the function of IQ in cultivating a writer
B．the relationship between genius and success
C．the decisive factor in making a genius
D．the way of gaining some sense of distinction
2．By reading novels and writers' stories, the girl could________.
A．come to understand the inner structure of writing
B．join a fascinating circle of writers someday
C．share with a novelist her likes and dislikes
D．learn from the living examples to establish a sense of security
3．In the girl's long painstaking training process, ________.
A．her adviser forms a primary challenging force to her success
B．her writing turns into an automatic pattern of performance
C．she acquires the magic of some great achievement
D．she comes to realize she is "hardwired" to write
4．What can be concluded from the passage?
A．A fuelling ambition plays a leading role in one's success.
B．A responsible adviser is more important than the knowledge of writing.
C．As to the growth of a genius, IQ doesn't matter, but just his/her effort.
D．What really matters is what you do rather than who you are.

    As civilization proceeds in the direction of technology, it passes the point of supplying all the basic
essentials of life-food, shelter, clothes and warmth. Then we are faced with a choice between using
technology to provide and fulfill needs which have now been regarded as unnecessary or, on the
other hand, using technology to reduce the number of hours of work which a man must do in order
to earn a given standard of living. In other words, we either raise our standard of living above that
necessary for comfort and happiness or we leave it at this level and work shorter hours.
     I shall take it for granted that mankind has, by that time, chosen the latter alternative. Men will be
working shorter and shorter hours in their paid employment. It follows that the housewife will also
expect to be able to have more leisure in her life without lowering her standard of living. It also follows
that human domestic servants will have completely ceased to exist. Yet the great majority of the
housewives will wish to be relieved completely from the routine operations of the home such as
scrubbing the floors or the bath of the cooker, or washing the clothes or washing up, or dusting or
sweeping, or making beds.
    By far the most logical step to relieve the housewife of routine is to provide a robot which can be
trained to the requirements of a particular home and can be programmed to carry out half a dozen
or more standard operations, when switched by the housewife.
