If you are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school, then you are probably
not sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake, tossing and turning in bed until the early hours of the
morning when you eventually fall asleep. When you wake up, you don"t feel refreshed, but tired and worn out and unable to face a new day.
Dr. Henry Winkle wrote an article in a recent newspaper, which indicates that_____________.
Dr. Winkle says, "The more we worry, the less we sleep, the more we are unable to deal with stress. If we can find a way to get a good night"s sleep," he adds, "we can often find the energy to deal with what"s
worrying us."
So, what is a good night"s sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order
to keep healthy varies a lot. Seven hours in about the average amount, though strangely enough, sleeping
longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed.
Dr. Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important. People who work late should try to give
themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed. This could be watching TV or
listening to music. Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you to feel physically as well as
mentally tired. A bedtime drink can also help, but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain caffeine and will keep you awake. "When you put the light out," Dr. Winkle says, "concentrate on relaxing your
muscles, working slowly up from your feet, and you"ll be asleep before you know it."

to contact with their grandparents often. The kids all use e-mail, Skype and SMS but my parents won’t. I’ve bought them a laptop, paid for broadband(宽带), given them both mobile phones and a digital
camera, but they won’t use them. My parents say they hate computers and new technology. What can I do with these “technophobes”?
Daniel, Buremburg, Germany
Actually, the original technophobes were the Luddites, a group of cloth workers in 19th century Britain during the Industrial Revolution. The Luddite cloth workers, who traditionally made cloth by hand, were
worried that machines were going to take away their jobs and way of life. These machines could make
cloth much faster and cheaper than humans. In 1811 and 1812 the Luddites destroyed the machines, but
the British government supported the factory owners. Many Luddites were arrested. Charlotte Bronte’s
novel Shirley will tell your parents all about it.
Laura, Valencia, Spain
Laura makes some interesting points, I think. Technophobes has been a common theme in science
fiction. Frankenstein, one of the first science fiction, is a warning of what could happen if humans began to experiment with human life.
Freda, Copenhagen, Denmark
One thing you could try is to find hardware that is designed for older people to use. An example is the mobiles made by the US company, Jitterbug. Instead of icons(图标) and menus the Jitterbug phones ask users simple “yes/no” questions and have larger keypads. The company realized that there are potentially 100 million older users in the US alone.

Health experts have discovered that adding low-calorie vegetable soup to the start of a meal can
actually help to lose weight.
Because you tend to feel full sooner, you eat less of your main course.
The soup regime was tested by researchers at Pennsylvania State University, led by Dr Barbara Rolls.
They found that when participants in the study ate a first course of soup before lunch they reduced their total calorie intake by 20 per cent, compared with those who did not begin the meal with soup.
But those who favour creamy soups should be careful. Researchers stressed the soup must be
low-calorie and based on stock(菜汤), not cream.
All of the soups tested in the study were made from identical ingredients - chicken stock , broccoli
(硬花甘蓝), potato, cauliflower(菜花)and carrots.
They were mixed together to create four different textures and thickness from separate stock and
vegetables through to pureed soup.
Scientists thought that thick soups with chunks of vegetables which required chewing might be more
filling, but to their surprise they found all forms had the same effect.
The findings were presented to the Experimental Biology conference in Washington, DC, and the
research was part-funded by the National Institutes of Health.

People are more likely to wash their hands properly after using the toilet if they are shamed into it or
think they are being watched, scientists said on Thursday.
Hand-washing is the cheapest way of controlling disease but less than one third of men and two thirds
of women wash their hands with soap after going to the toilet, a British study by the London School of
Hygiene and Tropical Medicine showed.
But when prompted by an electronic message flashing up on a board asking: "Is the person next to you washing with soap?," around 12 percent more men and 11 percent more women used soap.
Health authorities around the world are stepping up efforts to persuade people to be more hygienic and wash their hands properly to help slow the spread of H1N1 swine flu, which was declared a pandemic
(大流行病) by the World Health Organization in June.
"Hand-washing with soap has been ranked the most effective way for the worldwide control of
disease," the study"s authors wrote.
"It could save more than a million lives a year from diarrhoeal diseases, and prevent respiratory(呼吸)
infections -- the biggest causes of child mortality(死亡) in developing countries."
In developed nations, hand-washing can help prevent the spread of viral infections like flu and sickness and diarrhea bugs like norovirus and rotavirus, as well as hospital-acquired infections like MRSA and
C-difficile, the authors said.
The researchers studied the behavior of a quarter of a million people using toilets at motorway service
stations in Britain over 32 days. Use of soap was monitored by sensors.
The study, published in the American Journal of Public Health to mark Global Hand-washing Day,
showed that with no reminders, 32 percent of men and 64 percent of women used soap.
