“If you consider getting older with needing less sleep, it’s not true!” says Robert Oexman, D.C., director of the Sleep to Live Institute. Besides disease, medicine and pain, if partients complain of bad sleep, Dr. Oexman looks at their nighttime habits, where the problem almost always exists. So, how are you destroying your sleep?
Watch TV until you fall asleep
It has nothing to do with what you watch. It’s you who face TV’s bright light. That’s the reason. So even if you nod off in front of the TV, for example, you probably won’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 when you lay your sleepy head on the pillow, 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 acids(胃酸)less than good for falling asleep or staying asleep.
So try to eat your last meal of the day at least 2-3 hours 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.

How to be a good detective(侦探)

Have you seen the Hollywood movie Sherlock Holmes? Holmes is a character created by British writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. His books were so popular that Holmes soon became “the most famous detective in the world”. In this movie, this great detective faces a dangerous man, Lord Blackwood. Together with his best friend Dr Watson, Holmes stops Blackwood’s plan to control the world with black “magic”.
Most of us are not as smart as Holmes. But we can also work out mysteries on our own. All we have to do is to follow some simple rules.
小题1: No matter how smart he or she is, the most important quality for a detective is being good. In the movie, Lord Blackwood and Sherlock Holmes are both very smart. The difference is that Lord Blackwood is a bad man and he does bad things. Holmes can beat him on the side of justice (正义).
小题2: Every bad man tries to cover up what he did. But not all things can be covered up easily. A good detective can discover clues hidden at crime scenes with sharp eyes. For example, Holmes can simply look at a man’s footprints and quickly find out his personal information like age and habits.
小题3:Even though Holmes has knowledge about many subjects , such as chemistry, botany (植物学) and anatomy, he still needs Dr Watson’s help to fight with him. We should also have someone to help you, especially if you don’t know as much as Holmes.
小题4: A good detective never jumps to conclusions. When all the necessary clues are put together, you’d better think carefully. If you can’t work it out, don’t be afraid. Just take a deep breath and concentrate on thinking. Logic can help you discover missing clues.

A.Have sharp eyes.
B.Logic (逻辑) is the key.
C.A good assistant is a great help.
D.Justice is most important.
小题5:Holmes is a character created by _______.
A.Lord BlackwoodB.Sir Arthur DoyleC.Dr WatsonD.Charles Dickens
Street Markets(市场) around the World
There are many ways of shopping. You can shop by telephone, by post or through your home computer. But for many people, the most exciting way to shop is also the most traditional(传统的)—at a street market. You can find markets anywhere in the world. Here are four of them:

There are many “floating markets” in Asia; maybe the most unusual is in Thailand(泰国), at a place called Damnoen Saduak. It’s open from six in the morning to the noon every day. People sell fresh apples, bananas and things like these from their boats.

Many Belgians(比利时人) say that the Grand Place is the most beautiful place in the world. It is the home of a colourful market. It’s open every day except(除了) Monday. On Monday, there’s a wonderful bird market!

One of the world’s most famous markets is in Mexico City—the Sonora Market. You can buy toys, birds and anything you need. It’s open every day from early in the morning till late at night.

In London, on Saturdays and Sundays, thousands of young people from all over the city travel to the Camden Market. It’s the place to go for street fashion, CDs and tapes. Many people also go there for fun.
