9．Most teens need 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night．But many teens have trouble sleeping．Lack of sleep can affect sports performance，increase our chances of getting sick，and may be linked to weight gain in some people．How can we get sleep we need？Here are some ideas：
●（16）A You've probably noticed how much running around kids do-and how soundly they sleep．Take a tip from a little child and get at least 60 minutes of exercise a day．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．
●Avoid alcohol and drugs．Lots of people think that alcohol or drugs will make them relaxed，but that's not the case．Drugs and alcohol disturb sleep．（17）C
●Say goodnight to electronics．（18）D 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．Going to bed at the same time every night helps sleep．（19）E So you can relax by reading，listening to music or spending time with a pet．
●Expect a good night's sleep．（20）F Say，"Tonight，I will sleep well"several times during the day．It can also help to practice breathing exercises or gentle yoga poses before bed．

B．Do some extreme sports．
C．Either of them will make a person wake up at night．
D．Expert recommend using the bedroom for sleep only．
E．Creating a set bedtime procedure can improve this relaxation effect．

6．I stood at the edge of the cliff （悬崖）．Dark-feathered birds circled the air，diving low over the ocean every now and then to catch their dinner．Below me，hundreds of feet below，the deep ocean beat against the rough sandy shore．I took a deep breath，filling my lungs with expectation and excitement-and at the same time，fear．
I was here for the shooting of a movie as I was one of the lead actors in the film Dangerous Things，and this was the most important scene right in the middle of it．It was vital that this went right．
The director had talked to me about getting a stunt double （替身），but I'd persuaded him that I could handle the dive．I'd taken a diving course a few years before，and I'd been taking swimming lessons since I was five years old．I had been pretty confident that I could do this-up till now．
Someone called out，"Keira，you don't have to do this!Are you sure you want to dive？"It was one of the producers，Callie Evans．I knew she meant well，but deep in my heart I knew I couldn't turn back now．I couldn't bear to see the disappointed look on the director's face when he was told that I couldn't do it．
At that moment，all my fears and worries broke free．I dived downwards．The air on either side of me cut into my extended arms．I knew that this wonderful feeling of flight would only last a few seconds，yet time seemed to slow down．I could hear the thrilled screams of my crew and a burst of applause （鼓掌） that seemed to echo in my ears．

13．On the last day before Christmas，I hurried to go to the supermarket to buy Christmas gifts．In the supermarket，I noticed a little boy，holding a doll and looking so sad．He turned to the old woman next to him，"Granny，are you sure I don't have enough money？"The old lady replied，"You know we don't have enough money to buy this doll，my dear．"Then she left for something else and the boy still stood there．
Finally，I went to the boy and asked him who he wanted to give this doll to．"It is the doll that my sister wanted so much for this Christmas．She was so sure that Father Christmas would bring it to her．"
I told him that maybe Father Christmas will bring it to her．But he replied to me sadly，"No，Father Christmas cannot bring it to her where she is now．I have to give the doll to my mother so that she can give it to her when she goes there．My sister has gone to be with God．Daddy says that Mummy will also go to see God very soon，so I thought that she could bring the doll with her to give it to my sister．"
Hearing this，I quickly reached into my wallet and took a few notes and said to the boy，"What if we checked again，just in case if you have enough money？"
"OK，"he said，"I hope that I have enough．"
I added some of my money to his without his seeing and we started to count it．There was enough for the doll．
The little boy said，"Thank God for giving me enough money．"
Then he looked at me and added，"I prayed to God yesterday before I slept to make sure I have enough money to buy this doll．He heard me．"

3．Good news for people who always fail to see the silver lining on clouds．A report in New Scientist，suggests that a tendency to get down when life knocks you down can be good for you．A growing number of warning voices from the world of mental-health research are claiming that it isn't a good idea to use antidepressant（抗抑郁剂）to help do away with unhappiness caused by marriage breakdown，death or redundancy（下岗）because"they fear that the increasing tendency to treat normal sadness as if it were a disease is playing fast and loose with an important part of our biology．Sadness serves an evolutionary（进化的）purpose．"
Jerome Wakefield，a clinical social worker at New York University explains that depressive feelings are part of our biological makeup．"When you find something deep in us biologically，you should believe that it was selected because it could bring us some advantage，otherwise we wouldn't have been burdened with it．I think that one of the functions of strong negative emotions is to stop our normal functioning，to make us focus on something else for a while．"While Paul Keedwell，a psychiatrist at Cardiff University claims that ever full-blown depression may have its purpose，saying the sufferer from the effects of long-term stress．"Without a mental pause，"he argues，"you might stay in a state of chronic（慢性的）stress until you're exhausted or dead．"
Although it is important to be careful when talking about depression，having the upside traced in your downside will have an irresistible（不可抵抗的）appeal to all those who take the phrase"cheer up，love，it might never happen"as a personal insult（侮辱）．It will be manna especially for creative types，who have long doubted that crying a lot is a sign of their inward genius（天赋）．In the tests at Harvard，New Scientist reports，people with signs of depression performed better at creative task，especially after receiving feedback that was designed to reinforce their low spirits．Although it is old-fashioned to claim that creativity is connected to gloomy moods and a grey outlook on life，all the best works are written by some grim-faced（面孔铁青的）people with a heart full of anxiety．
Richard Yates has written seven novels and two collections of short stories，each more hopelessly miserable（悲催的）than the last．After years of writing about his toothless，drunken mother，his experiences in the second world war and divorces，Yates finally rounds things off in Disturbing the Peace by fictionalizing how a cocktail of alcoholism and psychotropic drugs had him take off his clothes and wander the streets of LA，giving all his money to beggars．it is miserable-but so readable．
So，although the grand majority will never write anything as good as Yates，there is something to be gained from looking on the dark side．In a work environment，for example，discontented people tend to have greater success than those of a sunny nature．It's enough to make a pessimist dissolve into a Cheshire Cat grin（咧嘴笑）．

10．You may think that English speaking competitions are dominated by English majors，and that college students from other majors don't stand a chance of winning．But this year's China Daily"21^st Century Coca-Cola Cup"National English Speaking Competition provided strong evidence to the contrary．
The competition drew to an end on March 20 at Beijing Foreign Studies University，None of the top three contestants were English majors．The grand champion，Zhu Xue，is a medical student from Shanghai Jiao Tong University．And the runners-up named Cai Yao from Beijing Foreign Studies University and Li Zehan from the Chinese University of Hong Kong are both law students．Chen Mengzhu from New York University Shanghai won the fourth place and will be heading to London in May to compete in the International Public Speaking Competition on behalf of China．And guess what？Chen is not an English major either．She is a science student，majoring in interactive media art．
Their advantages may lie in the unique qualities and experiences that come with their majors．For example，Zhu managed to keep a cool head throughout the competition，a skill probably honed（磨炼）in her training as a medical student．She was even calm after she won the championship．
Qu Weiguo，a Fudan University professor and one of the competition's judges，believes it's no surprise that students like Zhu surged（蜂拥而来）ahead．"English majors may be superior at their language skills，but they may lack the knowledge from other fields to support their speech and enrich their arguments．"he said．
Throughout the past 20 years，contestants at the competition have transitioned（变迁）from focusing solely on language skills to placing more emphasis on the content of the speeches．

14．In the last 500 years，nothing about people---not their clothes，ideas，or languages---has changed as much as what they eat．The original chocolate（巧克力） drink was made from the seeds of the cocao（可可） tree by South American Indians．The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500's．And although it was very expensive，it quickly became fashionable．In London shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places．Some still exist today．The potato is also from the New World．Around 1600，the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe，where it soon was widely grown．Ireland became so dependent（依赖的） on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the"Potato Famine（土豆荒）"of 1845-1846，and thousands more were forced to emigrate．（移居） to America．
There are many other foods that have traveled from south America to the Old World．But some others went in the opposite direction．Brazil is now the world's largest grower of coffee，and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries．But it is native to Ethiopia．It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400's．
According to an Arabic story，coffee was discovered w hen a goat keeper named Kaldi noticed that his goats were eating the red fruits on a coffee tree．He tried one and experienced the"wide-awake（彻底清醒的）"feeling．One-third of the world's population now starts the day with it．
