It’s normal to wake briefly during the night. 1. But if you’re waking up during the night and having trouble falling back asleep, the following tips may help.

Stay out of your head. The key to getting back to sleep is continuing to prepare your body for sleep, so remain in bed in a relaxed position. Hard as it may be, try not to stress over the fact that you’re awake, because that very stress and anxiety encourage your body to stay awake. 2.

3. If you are finding it hard to fall back asleep, try a relaxation technique such as visualization(想象), or deep breathing, which can be done without even getting out of bed. Remind yourself that although they’re not a replacement for sleep, rest and relaxation still help refresh your body.

Do a quiet, non-stimulating activity. If you’ve been awake for more than 15 minutes, try getting out of bed and doing a quiet, non-stimulating activity, such as reading a book. Keep the lights dim so as not to think that it’s time to wake up. 4. A light snack might relax you, but be careful not to eat so much that your body begins to expect a meal at that of the day.

5. If you wake during the night feeling anxious about something, make a brief note of it on paper and delay worrying about it until the next day when you are fresh and it will be easier to resolve.

A. Make relaxation your goal, not sleep.

B. Put off worries and troubles.

C. Use a flashlight to go to the bathroom at night.

D. In fact, a good sleeper won’t even remember it.

E(涂AB). Also avoid screens of any kind-computers, TVs, cell phones, iPads.

F (涂AC). You’ll be much more productive and creative after a good night’s rest.

G(涂AD). A good way to stay out of your head is to focus on the feeling in your body.

Have you wondered why different animals or pests have their particular colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.

Birds, especially seagulls(海鸥) are very fond of locusts(蝗虫), but birds can’t easily catch locusts because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colour of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe(成熟的), locusts take on exactly the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.

If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves, bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the colour much like the barks(树皮) of trees.

An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid is over, its enemies cannot find it, and it quickly swims away. Thus,it has existed(存活)up to now though it is not powerful at all.

It was very cold and I had been watching a homeless man make himself comfortable in a “shelter” on the river bank. I never saw him with warm clothing or food. I knew what I wanted to do.

When I told my parents my plan they were alarmed. They said I could be putting myself in danger, taking a box to a homeless person at night! But I knew, in my deep heart, that I would be safe. They watched as I added warm gloves, a heavy blanket … into a box until it was full! Then, I put a Christmas card on top. It said, “Even though we hardly know each other, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas!” I put ten one-dollar bills inside it as well.

My father insisted he went there with me as it was 10 pm on Christmas Eve. I said he could drive me but he had to stay in the car. He agreed.

I I took the box and walked towards his “house”. I called, “Sir, I have a Christmas box for you!”

“Go away!” he shouted.

“Sir,” I repeated.

“Go away!” he shouted angrily.

“Why?” I asked him.

He walked over and I saw two of the most beautiful, gentle, blue eyes I have ever seen.

“Merry Christmas!” I said.

“Why are you doing this?” he asked.

“Because you matter to me,” I said. With that I gave him the box.

Tears came to his eyes and he carried the box like it was filled with gold. I didn’t want to embarrass(使…尴尬) him by watching him anymore. So Dad and I left. (272 words)

Our lives were supposed to be more flexible and family-friendly thanks to the technology at our fingertips. But in this age of BlackBerrys, recession (经济衰退) pressures, working at home after hours and on weekends, family time may not be working out the way we thought.

Busy parents who expected more time with the kids are finding that more work hours at home don't necessarily translate into quality time with them.

A new generation of parents needs to discover the meaning of "quality time," researchers say. “Personally, just given the life I lead, I think there is something to this idea of quality time— spending productive time with children instead of just being around,” says Peter Brandon, a professor at Carleton College. He says engaging or interacting with a child in activities such as reading or playing counts as quality time rather than "passive monitoring," such as washing the dishes while the child is watching TV.

“This time with children pays off,” Brandon says. He notes that good parent—child relationships result in children being happier and more successful, including at school.

As parents struggle to be more available to their kids, new research on work and family schedules to be presented Friday at the meeting in Dallas includes a study that shows parents' availability is on the decline because more parents are in the workforce. Although parents today may be spending more time on child care, they are less available overall.

Working parents who spend less time with their children should try to make sure the time they do spend is communicating with them instead of doing the dishes or spending more time on themselves, Brandon says “The trade-off is not necessarily taking away time from your kid,” he says "You’d better take away time from other things.”

A. just, being around with children

B. work time is separate from family time

A. the time with children is of little value

B. the time with children costs quite a lot

C. the time with children leads to good result

D. the time with children has a bad effect on them
