Nothing is more frustrating than not being able to sleep, tossing and turning （翻来覆去）. Your mind is racing, going over everything that happened that day. Night noises keep you awake. What can you do? Here are some things you can do to help you to fall asleep.

Sleep only when sleepy

This reduces the time you are awake in bed.

If you can’t fall asleep within 20 minutes, get up and do something boring until you feel sleepy.

Don’t expose yourself to bright light while you are up. The light tells your brain that it is time to wake up.

Don’t take naps

This will ensure that you are tired at bedtime. If you just can’t make it through the day without a nap, sleep less than one hour, and take a nap before 3 p.m.

Get up and go to bed at the same time every day

Even on weekends! When your sleep cycle has a regular rhythm, you will feel better.

Regular exercise can help you sleep well, but the time to do exercise is important. Exercising in the morning or early afternoon will not interfere (干扰) with sleep.

Have a snack before bedtime

If your stomach is too empty, that can interfere with sleep. However, if you eat a heavy meal before bedtime, that can interfere as well. Have a warm glass of milk.

Take a hot bath 90 minutes before bedtime

A hot bath will raise your body temperature, but it is the drop in body temperature that may make you feel sleepy.

1._______ can help you fall asleep at night.

2.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

3.According to the passage, one had better not take naps _______.

4.What can we infer from the passage?

A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper, and handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After mom dried her hands on apron, she read it, and this is what it said:
For cutting the grass: $5.00
For cleaning up my room this week: $1.00
For going to the store for you: $0.50
Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping: $0.25
Taking out the garbage: $1.00
For getting a good report card: $5.00
For cleaning up and raking the yard: $2.00
Total owed: $14.75
Well, his mother looked at him standing there, and the boy could see the memories flashing through her mind. She picked up the pen, turned over the paper he'd written on, and this is what she wrote:
For the nine months I carried while you were growing inside me: No Charge
For all the nights that I've sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you: No Charge
For all the trying times, and all the tears that you've caused through the years: No Charge
For the toys, food ,clothes, and even wiping your nose: No Charge
Son, when you add it up, the cost of my love is: No Charge.
When the boy finished reading what his mother had written, there were big tears in his eyes, and he looked straight at his mother and said, "Mom, I sure do love you." And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote:" PAID IN FULL".
【小题1】 The underlined sentence “the boy could see the memories flashing through her mind.” means _______.

Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes into touch with them.Their values---this can not be repeated too often--aren’t necessarily our values.Physical comfort,cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things.The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a room with rotten food covered by small worms,and an old person lying alone on bed,taking no notice of the worms.But is it interrupting personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers,the ones who clear up the worms,think we’re in danger of carrying this idea of personal freedom to the point where serious risks(冒险)are being taken with the health and safety of the old.

Indeed,the old can be easily hurt or harmed.The old is like a car: it needs more mechanical repair as it gets older.You can carry this comparison right through to provision of spare parts.But never forget that such operations are painful experiences,however good the results are.And at what point should you stop to treat the old body?Is it morally right to try to push off death by continuing the development of medicine to excite the forgetful old mind and to make the old body active,knowing that it is designed to die?You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide,because so long as they can see the technical chances,they will feel it necessary to give them a try,by the rule that while there’s life,there’s hope.

Talking to the old,however,you’re forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or health than it does on your ability to have fun.

A student and his teacher were walking through the forest．The student was1  by the fact that his mind was in constant（不断的） unrest．

He asked his teacher 2 , “Why most people’s minds are restless , and only a few possess a 3  mind? What can one do to4   the mind?”

The teacher looked at the student, smiled and said, “I will tell you a story．An elephant was 5  and picking leaves from a tree．A small fly came, flying and buzzing near his 6  ．The elephant waved it away with his big ears, Then the fly came again, and the elephant 7  it away once more．

This was 8  several times．Then the elephant asked the fly, “Why are you so restless and 9 ？Why can’t you stay for a while in one place? ”

The fly answered, “I am10 to whatever I see, hear or smell．My five senses pull me constantly in all 11  and I cannot resist them．What is your 12 ? How can you stay so calm and still?”

The elephant stopped 13  and said, “My five senses do not rule my attention．Now that I am 14  immersed（沉浸） in eating ．In this way I can enjoy my 15  and chew it better．I rule and control my attention, and not the other way around．”

Upon 16  these words, the student’s eyes opened wide and a 17  smile appeared on his face．He looked at his teacher and said, “I understand! If my five senses are in control of my 18 , then my mind will be in constant unrest．If I 19  my five senses and attention, then my mind will become calm．”

“Yes, that’s right,” answered the teacher,” If the mind is 20  , it will go wherever the attention is．Control your attention, and you control your mind．”
