Just like your car, your brain needs fuel(燃料) and care to work. If you drive your car too many miles without adding gas, it will stop. Here are some tips to make sure your brain keeps working to meet your needs.
Sleep well. Without enough sleep, you’ll simply go crazy. Your brain needs sleep to organize what’s happening during the day. 56
57 Very different from sleeping, meditation(沉思) gets your brain working by clearing your thoughts and keeping your mind in the present. Your brain finds peace in meditaion, and that produces energy.
58 Some find beauty in the noise of an engine. Others find it in a baby’s laugh. This is what people have referred to when they advise us to “stop and smell the roses.” Whether you find beauty in flowers, in a baseball game, or in nature, enjoying beauty is the brain’s chance to stop and relax in a different way.
Relax. Besides sleeping and thinking, your brain needs time to relax. You might relax by reading a book or a magazine. 59 A good rest can be useful to get rid of the day’s stress.
These suggestions each can add to brain health. 60

“I started going to clubs when I was nineteen. My friends went and they told me that I’d love it. They were right.” –Lara
Lara is a twenty-one-year old student who loves dancing. “At the moment, my favorite kind of music is acid jazz. I’d love to go to a Fatboy Slim or Ken Ishii gig. They’re so cool,” says Lara. Fatboy Slim and Ken Ishii are not pop stars—they are famous DJs. Being a DJ these days means more than playing records at a nightclub. DJs like Fatboy Slim have also produced a lot of successful CDs of their own music.
Nightclubs have been popular since the seventies but today’s clubs are different. They don’t usually open until at least 11 pm, and people often stay until 7 or 8 o’clock the next morning. Some clubbers will keep on dancing until 12 o’clock in the morning.
Why has dance music become so popular? Some people believe that clubs give young people what the hippies found in the sixties. They have somewhere to meet people just like them. Many clubbers say that dance music helps them to escape from their problems. They feel they are part of a big happy family. But most people just love to dance.
