Some students will have no time to relax, while others have no plan for the coming February.

Denial, a high school student, who is going to take part in the college entrance examination, said he had to go to the capital city of Jiangsu Province every weekend.

He has found a new professor who can help him prepare for the exam. His family is not rich, but his parents offer him 800 yuan for each lesson and 200 yuan to

pay for the bus ticket. He said he would try his best to pass the exam next year. Therefore, he has to practice playing the piano 6 hours a day before every lesson.

He said he even thought sleeping was a waste of time. How hard-working he is!

However, not every student has a perfect plan like Denial. His younger sister doesn’t get up until noon. She said holiday was boring because she couldn’t play with

her classmates. That’s why she keeps sleeping for a long time to avoid being bored. What a special reason, isn’t it?

Do you like their holiday plans? If not, why not listen to Aunt Li for advice?

Dear students,

How can you have a wonderful holiday? Both relaxing and studying are very important for you. I suggest you make good use of your time every day and make a plan

before the holiday begins. Two hours’ study is not a long time, right? Don’t spend too much time playing computer games or watching TV. It’s bad for your eyes

and neck. If your parents are free at the weekend, going out for a picnic sounds great.

Have you made up your mind, students?

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy.

Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.

In many parts of the world, people takenapsin the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer(遭受) less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it!

If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.

In his lowest days when few people bought his records, Taiwan singer Steve Chou lived alone in Canada and did little. One day, he passed by a local CD
