8．第二节
You'd think the human race would have understood sleeping very well by now，but many of us are still sleeping poorly．Part of the problem is that we have wrong information and beliefs about this important health need．Let's set the facts straight．（36）B
1．More sleep is better for you．
There could be such a thing as too much sleep．The amount of sleep we need varies by person and also changes as we age．Harvard researchers found that a lot of sleep（9 hours or more） is linked with poor sleep quality．（37）DAim for better sleep
2．（38）A
Alcohol can help most people fall asleep．However，it also can cause you to wake up more during the night，decreasing your keep sleep quality．Consider drinking non-alcoholic drink before bed instead．
3．If you wake up in the middle of night，lie in bed until you eventually fall back asleep．（39）EWe all hope to quickly fall back asleep．So we tend to stay in bed hoping it'll happen tat any minute now．If that doesn't happen，though，within 15minutes，most exporters recommend getting out of bed to do something that occupies our bodies and brains without over stimulating（刺激）us．Try not to check the clock either．
You can catch up on sleep on weekends．
When we lose sleeping during the week，we accumulate a kind of sleep"debt"．（40）GNot so fact．This might actually make you sleepier the next week．Instead of waking up later on the weekends，you'd better go to sleep earlier or perhaps take a nap in the afternoon．

A．Alcohol helps you sleep．
B．Here are some things you might been told about sleeping but aren't completely true．
C．Everyone should get 7-8hours of sleep per night．
D．So don't aim for more sleep-even on the weekends．
E．Waking up in the middle of the night is the annoyance，but it happens to all of us．
F．You'll have a better day and perhaps sleep better at night．
G．Can you pay that debt back by sleeping on Saturday or Sunday？

7．I left home to support my sister in her efforts to present a music festival．She lives on the other side of the world，and I went to visit her，not wanting to leave and feeling like I was leaving home against my will．However，I wanted to show her my support because she is my only sister．
So I boarded the plane in mid-August，and hated the long flight．I arrived，tired and hungry．I had left my husband of 2years，alone，in our old New Orleans house．
I was all set and ready to perform for my sister for the music festival on Sunday morning when I received a call from Chicago．The hurricane was predicted to hit our city，and many people had already evacuated，but my husband chose to stay behind．He could not get a call to me on the other side of the world，but he could call his cousin in Chicago．He gave his cousin a message for me，that he would be just fine，and not to worry．
As the day wore on，I finally took the stage in front of hundreds of Europeans，and I realized，thanks to CNN，that New Orleans was under water．
I performed，hoping that my husband would survive．And I performed perfectly．The audience stood and applauded．I left the stage and went straight to the TV．I saw the street sign near my home，of Humanity Street，but nothing below it，except water．
In the days that followed，I found out that my house，my car，my clothes，my furniture，everything that I'd left behind was gone…but not my husband．He survived by riding on the rear bumper（后保险杠）of a VW bus，holding on to the overhead luggage rack，in the pouring rain，down the highway from New Orleans，half-way to Baton Rouge．The rest of the journey was a long walk，but he survived．
By the first week of September，I flew back to the Baton Rouge airport，and hugged my husband．Since then，our relationship has grown deeper； we have completely rebuilt our house，bought a new car，bought new furniture and new clothes and joined an inspirational，spirit-filled community．

One day when we were playing the basketball，I saw Tim wearing a pair sneakers of my style．I thought they were my shoes，so I shouted angry and blamed him for using my personal possessions without permit．Then I went back to the dorm after he could say anything．I opened the door only to find mine own sneakers just under my bed．For a while，I stood there still，shocking and guilty．When realizing my act must have hurt him，immediately I rush to the court to apology to him sincerely．Fortunately，though he was angry and sad，he pardoned me．With my relief，the conflict ended happily．

Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp
Everyone is forgetful，but as we age，we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit-and that can be a very annoying thing．（36）F Read on for some techniques worth trying．
1．（37）A
People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease （早老性痴呆症），according to a recent study．（38）E
Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do．There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better．In other words，keep your brain looking forward．
2．Go for a walk．
Mildly raised glucose （葡萄糖） levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels．In fact，exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain．（39）G
3．Learn something new．
Take a Spanish class online，join a drawing club，or learn to play cards．A study found that mental stimulation （刺激） limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind．But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time．（40）COr go dancing with your friends．

A．Focus on the future．
B．This can be especially harmful to the aged．

How northern Europeans beat the winter blues
Ask a child from northern Europe to draw two pictures-one on a rainy day and a second in the sunshine-and this is what you will get：in the first，as raindrops fall from the top of the page，the man behind the window has an unhappy expression．When a yellow sun sends out some light from the corner，the man is smiling．
Northern Europeans associate rain with sadness and sunshine with happiness．They think this is true because they are so aware of how their environment affects them．（36）E In October 2008，a group of researchers examined the influence of different daily weather factors，including temperature，wind and sunlight，on 1，200participants．The conclusion was that good or bad weather had little effect on people's feelings．（37）GA person who is upset on dark or cold days suffers from a negative mood，and he will be likely to experience a sad winter．This is the basis of an illness called Seasonal Affective Disorder （SAD）．（38）D
Kalayjian，professor of psychology at Fordham University，advises that we should take steps to strengthen the brain's system against weather-driven mood changes．Research on SAD has been focused on the brain's response to darkness and light．When our eyes detect darkness，the brain gives off melatonin，which starts sleep cycles．（39）A It takes over to help us wake up and feel better when we detect light．"We can encourage people to take charge of their feelings，"says Kalayjian．"We tell them to leave the computers and the indoor games and get out there in the sun．（40）B"
A day of rain can potentially destroy your plan and affect your mood．But as the Scottish comedian Billy Connolly once said："There is no such thing as bad weather，only the wrong clothing．"

A．Another chemical called serotonin，however，can make people happy．
B．That's when people can recharge their serotonin and get a better mood．
C．Most studies prove that a negative feeling is associated with bad weather．
D．They determined that people actually differ in their sensitivity to weather changes．
E．Yet that link has no scientific basis．
F．It is seriously doubted among the people who suffer from SAD．
G．It affects about 10% of the population of northern Europe each year．

20．David Christof，a Marathon runner，visited my school yesterday．He made a speech about the safe drinking water problem in the world．"I want to do more and help people everywhere have safe drinking water，"he said as he spoke to a gym full of students．
Chrisof shared with us his story of determination to help solve the world water crisis by participating in the 2007 Blue Planet Run marathon．Starting in New York City，a team of 21 male and female athletes ran around the clock through 16countries．It covered 15，200 miles and three continents，24 hours a day for 65 days to deliver the message that measures must be taken to help countries searching for safe drinking water．
As he spoke to us，Christof displayed a picture of a woman getting water from a well filled with dirty water．"Would you like to drink this water？"he asked．"I wouldn't either，yet this woman is washing her dishes in it and later she will use it to cook．The water crisis does not mean people are dying of thirst．It means that they are drinking water that is not good for them．"
Christof pointed out that students in my school may not worry whether or not the water they are drinking is safe．But it is another story in other countries，where people actually have to decide whether their water is safe to drink．He expressed the hope that his speech would help us realize how a single person can make a difference by taking the steps to bring about change．

Lang Ping，the head coach of China's national women's volleyball team，arrived at my high school in Sep 17．At about 9 o'clock，all the Senior 3 student gathered in the school stadium，waiting for the arrival of Lang Ping and her team．The moment Lang stepped into the stadium，nobody could stay seating．We clapped wild as we saw the schoolmaster take Lang to his seat．Then Lang shares her life with us in her speech．She said it was faith and courage had led her to her success．
