He didn’t really think it would work. he said, “I had to do something.” He didn’t feel when the phone rang. “I’m willing to donate a kidney for your ,” one caller said. “I’d like nothing more than to help you out,” said another.

Believe it or not, over the last few days the hasn’t stopped ringing. Hundreds of people who either saw his sign or heard about it have . One volunteer said, “I’ve got two, but I need one.” Larry hasn’t found a match for his wife, but at least he has already had enough volunteers and enough awareness to save someone. “If I get a kidney, it’s fine. If I don’t, I hope someone else does,” the wife said. And that’s why Larry is still out there, appealing to the of strangers for the love of his wife.

Get a Better Night’s Sleep

You’re trying to get a good night’s sleep, but why do you still find yourself staring at the ceiling? It’s time to listen to what some unexpected experts have to say.

Get the Basic Equipment Right.

There’s really good study on the basic equipment for sleep. 1. Firstly, most people prefer a mattress （床垫）that is not too hard and not too soft. Secondly, if your mattress is eight to ten years old, you should get a new one. Seventy-two percent of people said they slept better on their new mattress than they did on their old one.

2.

Watching TV at night may seem relaxing. However, it beams light into your eyes, which is a “warning” signal for the brain. 3. Besides, the cooler white and blue light from a computer screen encourages brain activity and makes your brain difficult to calm down. Download the software at stereopsis.com /flux. It gradually makes your screen less bright at sunset, turning its colors a warmer red one.

Keep you Cool.

One of the best signals from the body to go to sleep is a decrease in body temperature. I suggest sleeping in a very cool environment, about 19℃. A hot bath will increase your skin temperature, which finally decreases your main body temperature. 4.

Make Sleeping Pets Lie.

Sometimes your dogs might need the noise of machines. Many dogs are sensitive to noises outside, like other dogs barking or neighbors coming home late. A noisy machine will drown out the noises that are keeping your pet up, which keep your pet from waking you. 5. . If you keep them awake during the day, they’re more likely to sleep at night.

A. Read a book before bed instead.

B. Take a bath a half-hour or so before bedtime.

C. You also learn dogs sleep when they’re bored.

D. The dog is very loyal to his master.

E. It proved two theories.

F. You don’t need a really beautiful mattress.

G. Switch off the Box.

Jiajia, a third grader who was born with anemia, a medical condition in which there are too few red cells in blood, wrote an affecting article that moved many netizens.

In the article, she shared her biggest wish: to survive so she could take care of her grandparents. Jiajia, 9, currently lives in the city of Suining in Sichuan province. In the article, she writes, "My heart gets heavier each time I see my grandma cry for me. If I ever get to grow up, I will take good care of her."

Jiajia contracted pneumonia when she was 4 months old. Since then, she has required a blood transfusion every two weeks.

After her parents' divorce, her grandparents took her in and faced many challenges in the process of raising her. The girl's article was only 235 words long, and it was handed in as a school assignment.

Nevertheless, Jiajia's words "deeply impressed" her elementary school teacher, who then posted the article online, where it struck a chord with many people.

Up till now, a fund started by teachers at Jiajia's school has reached more than 30,000 RMB, which will be put toward Jiajia's future blood transfusions.

Regularly staying late at the office significantly increases the risk of having a stroke or heart attack, researchers have found, working just an hour extra each day pushes up stroke risk by 10 per cent, according to a huge review of working patterns. And people who work an extra three hours a day--or 55 hours a week--are 33 per cent more likely to have a stroke, the scientists found.

The research, published in the Lancet medical journal, is based on health records of more than 500, 000 people across Europe, the US and Australia.

Scientists led by University College London warned that people who work longer hours tend to do less exercise, sit at a computer for hours at a time and drink more than people with a better work-life balance. Repeated stress may also be to blame for greater health problems, the scientists think.

They looked at the combined result of 17 previous studies, in which 529, 000 people were tracked over an average of seven years.

Experts stressed that the study had only found a link between hours worked and heart problems---it had not proved what had actually caused each death. But they warned people to take note of the findings.

Dr Tim Chico, consultant cardiologist at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, said “For many people, reducing their working hours would be difficult or impossible, and this study does not show that it would reduce the risk of stroke." Most of us could reduce the amount of time we spend sitting down, increase our physical activity and improve our diet while working and this might be more important the more time we spend at work.

1.Which areas are involved in the research?

A. The US, Australia and Russia.

B. Japan, Britain and China.

C. China, Russia and Japan.

D. Europe, the US and Australia.

2.Which factor is NOT the cause of the higher risk of health problems?

A. Excessive drinking. B. A healthy diet.

C. Repeated stress. D. Lack of exercise

3.What can we infer from the passage?

A. People who work longer are less likely to suffer a stroke.

B. All the deaths are caused by working long hours.

C. The research was based on the tracking of over 500, 000 people.

D. Reduced working hours will surely decrease the risk of stroke.

4.Where is this passage probably taken from?

A. A news report.

B. A science magazine.

C. A psychological journal.

D. A hospital introduction.
