It is often said that the best way to get to the bottom of a hard problem is to sleep on it. Does this make sense? A new study shows that it does.

A team of researchers at Northwestern University, US, found that sleeping is useful in both strengthening(增强) and reorganizing(重组)memory. 【1】

The researchers did an experiment on 57 university students. They asked students to solve 42 difficult puzzles (谜题) on the first day.【2】 The researchers encouraged students to remember the music they heard while solving the puzzles. By the end, there were six puzzles that the students still hadn't solved.

【3】 They were given special sleep-monitoring(睡眠监测)and music devices(设备). The devices played music linked with the unsolved puzzles while the students were in the slow-wave(慢波) sleep stage (阶段). This stage is when people are likely to dream and reorganize their memories.

The next morning, the students tried the unsolved puzzles again.【4】 The music activated(激活） the memories they had of the puzzles while they were sleeping. It allowed them to "work” on the puzzles in their sleep.

Former studies of both people and animals have shown that sleep can not only strengthen memory, but also help us organize and send information.【5】 So the next time you face a difficult problem, sleep on it. Play some music to remind yourself of the problem.

A.Researchers found they were 55 percent more likely to solve them.

B.This can help you solve problems.

C.This study is more evidence(证据)of these findings.

D.The students then went back home to sleep.

E.Students worked on each puzzle while listening to different music.

The“996”work schedule has recently become a heated topic of discussion online. According to the website, working in a“996”schedule is unhealthy and could cause people to end up in serious illness. This work schedule is common at Chinese tech companies like Baidu, Alibaba and Huawei. Most“996”workers do not receive overtime pay.

Many tech industry workers have complained about this schedule. “I worked‘996’for nine months,” one worker said. “I couldn’t sleep because of the stress. So, I leave my job.”

However, the bosses of some tech companies supported“996”. Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, said it’s “a huge blessing” for young workers to work“996”. “If you don’t do‘996’when you’re young, when will you?” Ma said. “If you don’t spend more time and energy than others,（B）你将如何取得你想要的成功呢?” Many have questioned Ma’s thinking. In an article in People’s Daily, one reporter said, “There is a clear difference between valuing hard work and forcing employees to work overtime.”

A lawyer told China Daily that it is illegal(违法的）to use a“996”work schedule. China’s Labor Law clearly states that employees should not be asked to work more than eight hours a day or 44 hours a week.

Firstly, making a plan will make you happy. Your moods will be very wonderful if you get ready to achieve goals or if you are going after something you value.

Secondly, make yourself stay with happy people. It is easy to begin to think negatively（消极地）when you stay with people who think in this way. However, if you are around people who are happy, you will be happy, too.

Thirdly, when something goes wrong, try to find out a solution instead of being lost in selfpity. Truly happy people don’ t allow difficulties to influence their happiness. It is because they know that with a little thought, they can change the situation for the better.

Fourthly, spend a few minutes each day thinking about the things that make you happy. These minutes will help you focus on the positive things in your life. It’s also important to spend some time each day doing something nice for yourself .Whether you have lunch, take a relaxing bath or simply spend a few minutes on your appearance, you will put yourself in a better mood.

Fifthly, finding the humor in situations can also lead to happiness. Finding a way to look down upon a situation can make you happy, too.
