Can't sleep? You turn all night never seeming to get comfortable, never seeming to feel like you are even close to sleep? I bet you've tried a few different solutions too, warm milk or maybe even sleeping pills. The reason why you can't sleep could be because of many different things. 【1】 However, if you want simple solutions to sleep better then the following steps can help you get that great night's sleep:

1. Sleep on your side.

2. Find the right pillow.

Finding the right pillow is vitally important. 【3】 In the side sleeping position the pillow should fill the entire space between your neck and the mattress(床垫).Your head should not be tipped up or down but be in line with your spine（脊椎）．

3. No digital entertainment before bed.

Avoid any forms of digital entertainment at least one hour prior to bed. Digital entertainment means movies, TV, Xbox, computer/laptop use, even a kindle. 【4】 Trying reading a few pages of non-fiction instead.

4. 【5】

When you eat and got to bed shortly after what happens is that your stomach is still full of food. This prevents you from breathing properly and can lead to a very disturbed sleep.

A. Having a sound sleep is my dream.

B. Wait three hours after span>eating.

C. There are five steps to have better sleep.

D. Stay away from all forms.

E. Always get a check from a health care provider if you have specific concerns.

【题目】As the capital of China's Shaanxi Province, Xi'an's long history was properly summed up by our English-speaking guide: "If Xi'an is the grandmother of cities, Beijing is a youth and Shanghai is just a baby in the womb. "

However, it was not until 1974, following the chance discovery of the Army of Terracotta Warriors by well-digging farmers, that Xi'an was once again pushed onto the international map. Three decades later, the local government is pouring funds into the tourism sector. Ancient monuments and museums are being restored, and various copies of Buddhist and Tang heritage are being constructed to help Chinese tourists rediscover their national heritage.

One of those ancient monuments is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda-Xi'an's most sacred (神圣的) monument-which was built in 652 by the monk Xuanzang ,who travelled across India for 18 years and returned with a precious collection of Buddhist sacred texts. In 1966,the Red Guards burnt the pagoda's scriptures, silk wall hangings and other relics in a bonfire that raged all night. But that destruction has largely been forgotten as tourists flock to the newly restored pagoda. The only original remainders-the empty shell of the seven-storey pagoda-light up at night, standing out in the city's skyline.

Xi'an is also displaying the glories of the ancient Tang Dynasty, with a 165-acre Tang Paradise Theme Park that is visited by flocks of tourist groups. Although every bit of this Tang heritage is recreated, it is artistically pleasing, landscaped with ponds and lakes, classical gardens, bridges, palaces and pavilions. Explore the vast area on a golf cart, hopping on and off to see shortened operas from the Tang Dynasty days, laser shows on the lake, highly structured man-made waterfalls, as well as murals and statues of historical figures ,philosophers and poets.

A 36km drive northeast takes you to Xi'an's most famous attraction, the Army of Terracotta Warriors. They were made to order in 221BC by the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huangdi, who used the forced labour of 700,000 subjects to create a mausoleum(陵庙) guarded by an entire army.

【1】From the passage we can learn that a large sum of money of the local government in Xi'an is being ploughed into .

A. restoring the monuments

B. restoring the Pagoda

C. tourism industry

D. exploring the history

【2】 How many historical sites in Xi'an have been referred to in the passage?

A. Three. B. Four. C. One. D. Six.

【3】 What can we learn from the fourth paragraph about the Tang Paradise Theme Park?

A. Visitors are pleased with the survivals from the Tang Dynasty.

B. The natural waterfalls in it are very attractive.

C. It is totally recreated but is artistically pleasant.

D. Visitors can appreciate the full Tang Dynasty operas.

【4】 Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Make a visit to ancient sites at once.

B. China's ancient capital rises again.

C. Travel to the Army of Terracotta Warriors.

D. Take a view in the modern city.

One of the boy carried him on the back, with the help of some others, to the clinic immediate. It turned out that her right leg was broken but he had to stay in hospital. The following day, we went to visit him with flowers and fruit. Seen him lying in bed with his leg wrapped in bandages, so we felt sorry for him and hoped that he would recover soon.

Plenty of job seekers, according to career and workplace consultant Alexandra Levit, are making major mistakes at those big, important meetings with their would-be bosses. Candidates would do well to avoid the following interview mistakes:

【1】

At most job interviews, both parties—the interviewer and the interviewee—are expected to ask questions. Do your homework on the company and make sure your questions aren’t so obvious that they can be answered with a five-second Google search.

“ 【2】 You shouldn’t ask too many general questions because they might have the opinion that you should know some of the answers.” Levit said.

Talking too much.

Even if you’re really smart, you won’t impress anybody if you don’t do your fair share of listening.

“It should be a two-way conversation,” Levit said. “ 【3】 Really take the time to read between the lines and pay attention to what they are saying.”

Treating the interviewer like a friend.

Of course you want to be friendly with your interviewer, but it’s important to remember that this person is not someone with whom you’ll be throwing back a few beers next weekend. You have to keep your guard up.

“You don’t want to treat them as if they’re someone you can take into your confidence.” Levit said. “ 【4】 ”

Bad-mouthing your last employer.

Sometimes, even your last boss was Satan himself. 【5】 Find a way to put a positive reason on why you left—or plan to leave—your last job.

“Don’t say, ‘Oh I left because my company was insufferable,’” Levit said. “The employer is going to be sitting there thinking you’re going to be saying that about them in three years and it isn’t going to fill them with confidence.”

A. Asking proper questions.

B. Failing to ask smart questions.

C. A job interview is not the time to uncover it.

D. Listen more and you’ll have more answers.

E. You’re not going to learn as much about their needs if you don’t listen.

F. You should portray yourself as confident, enthusiastic and professional.

G. You are supposed to have some knowledge of the industry and the position.
