分析 几周前,苹果公司在iBooks 2平台的发布会上正式推出iBooks,此举表明这一科技巨头正式进军教科书市场.电子教科书涵盖了从天文学到动物学等多种主题,包括科学,数学,历史和地理等科目.目前苹果已经推出了一套高中电子教材.苹果表示将创造一场"教科书新体验",并暗示这种互动式的电子教科书将会"开启学习的新篇章". 这听上去对于中小学生来说是个好消息.想想看,不用再背着装满课本的,沉甸甸的书包,因为所有书都可以储存在你的iPad里. 也不必再去买那些昂贵的课本,这些课本只能用一两年,之后不是卖掉,就是送人. 当然凡事有利就有弊.你需要拥有一部iPad,众所周知其价格不菲.此外你还要买电子课本,大多数定价不高于14.99美元(合94.74元人民币). 你可以播放视频,利用3D来解析几何难题,收听音乐以及评论,在电子屏幕上记笔记,做文章注释,还可以与同学在社交网站上分享资料. 随着那些无聊又陈旧的课本被迅速淘汰,你便可以体验到互动学习的乐趣.

•Watch TV until you fall asleep
It has nothing to do with what you watch.It's because you face TV's bright light.So even if you nod off in front of the TV,for example,you possibly can't stay asleep for long.
So an hour before bedtime,treat yourself like a baby:a warm bath.But no reading or writing on your computer before bed or in the middle of the night.
•Exercise too close to bedtime
Remember how poorly you sleep when you have a fever,never really feeling rested?Well,heavy exercise too close to bedtime has the same effect-it raises your body temperature,so that your sleep is not at best until your body temperature drops to normal,which may take several hours.
So no exercise at least three hours before bedtime to make sure your body temperature is normal.
•Eat fatty,heavy foods too close to bedtime
If you've ever tried to go to sleep after eating a fatty meal,you've probably found the discomfort of stomach and you are less likely to fall asleep.
So try to eat your last meal of the day at least 2-3hours before bedtime.Should you feel hungry before bed?So have a bowl of cereal or a small boiled potato.Or maybe have a serving of jasmine rice.
