All people need to sleep. Sleep is a necessary process that promotes proper body functioning and can improve the quality of your life. Not only is the quantity of sleep important, but also the quality of sleep.
Your bedroom should be shaped to your taste and to allow you to sleep in a peaceful environment. One of the biggest mistakes people make in their sleep is to use their bedroom for activities other than sleep. If your bedroom also functions as a command station for your life and work, the likelihood of your sleeping being poor is rather high. Bedrooms should be designed, decorated and used for mainly sleep. TVs, computers and other things should not be in your bedroom if at all possible.
Establishing regular sleeping and waking times can help improve the quality of your sleep especially for those suffering from sleeplessness. Avoid hot food, caffeine, sugar and alcohol at least 4 to 6 hours before your sleep time. Develop a regular exercise program. Proper exercise and nutrition will help improve sleeping patterns. However, avoid exercising 2 hours before sleeping, since this may stimulate your body and make sleeping more difficult.
Establish a pre-bedtime rule that will help focus you on sleep. You can try meditation（沉思）,reading or deep breathing and relaxation. Your bedtime rule should be yours. Do not worry about it fitting into a specific category. Do what is the best for you.
Things such as room temperature, noise and light levels and even your bed mattress can have a lot of effect on the quality of sleep that you experience. Block out distracting noises and lights. You are in your bedroom to sleep and not be distracted by environmental interferences（干扰）.

Forgiving someone who has hurt you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you probably don’t think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being.
When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colours and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. That’s why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea.
The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.
So it doesn’t matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if it’s worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else.
Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say it’s OK. Instead, it’s a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.
小题1: The author of the passage tries to make his viewpoint clear ______.| A．by raising his own examples | B．based on his own experience | | C．by mentioning some studies | D．by mentioning some typical patients |
小题2: The example of the cartoon book characters is taken in the passage to______.| A．support the viewpoint that anger and hatred harm physical and mental health | | B．introduce a famous expert | | C．let the reader know the different colours of cartoon faces | | D．show how to control one’s temper |
小题3:The underlined phrase“holding on to”in this passage possibly means“______”.| A．removing | B．keeping up | C．getting rid of | D．learning about |
小题4: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?| A．People who are able to forgive feel less stress. | | B．People who are able to forgive feel less depression. | | C．People who are able to forgive have fewer problems on sleeping. | | D．People who are able to forgive feel less tired. |
小题5:The best title for this passage is probably _______. | A．Forgiveness | B．Forgiveness Is Good for Health | | C．A Secret to Keeping Health | D．Anger Is Bad for Health |

Even a small reduction in salt in the diet can be a big help to the heart. A new study used a computer model to predict how just t hree grams less a day would af fect heart disease in the United States.
The result: thirteen percent fewer heart attacks. Eight percent fewer strokes. Four percent fewer deaths. Eleven percent fewer new cases of heart disease. And two hundred forty billion dollars in health care savings.
Researchers found it could prevent one hundred thousand heart attacks and ninety-two thousand deaths every year.
The study is in the New England Journal of Medicine. Kirsten, at the University of California, was the lead author. She says people would not even notice a difference in taste with three grams, or one-half teaspoon, less salt per day. The team also included researchers at Stanford and Columbia University.
Each gram of salt contains four hundred milligrams of sodium, which is how foods may list their salt content.
The government says the average American man eats ten grams of salt a day. The American Heart Association advises no more than three grams for healthy people. It says salt in the American diet has increased fifty percent since the nineteen seventies, while blood pressures have also risen. Less salt can mean a lower blood pressure.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is leading an effort called the National Salt Reduction Initiative. The idea is to put pressure on food companies and restaurants.
Mayor Bloomberg has already succeeded in other areas, like requiring fast food places in the city to list calorie information. Now a study by the Seattle Children"s Research Institute shows how that idea can influence what parents order for their children.
Ninety-nine parents of three to six year olds took part. Half had McDonald"s menus clearly showing how many calories were in each food. The other half got menus without the calorie information.
小题1: How many heart attacks will occur in the US every year？ | A．nearly 800,000. | B．24,000. | | C．100,000. | D．92,000. |
小题2:We can learn from the passage that . | A．Americans ate no more than 5 grams of salt per day in the 1970s | | B．the American Heart Association suggest less than 3 grams of salt every day | | C．a reduction in salt in the diet helps lower blood pressure | | D．all the heart diseases result from eating more salt |
小题3:The National Salt Reduction Initiative aims to . | A．advise Americans to eat less salt | | B．put pressure on food companies and restaurants | | C．require fast food places to list calorie information | | D．attract the public attention to the problem |
小题4:All the following are related to the salt in diet except . | A．strokes | B．heart attacks | | C．blood pressures | D．stomach diseases |
小题5:The best title of the passage of the passage is . | A．Less salt can mean more life | | B．Prevent heart attacks and deaths | | C．The National Salt Reduction Initiative | | D．Americans should eat less salt |

Pregnancy(妊娠) and childbirth kill more than 536,000 women a year. More than half of the cases happened in Africa, according to the World Health Organization. In fact, most of the deaths are preventable with basic medical care.
The five leading causes are bleeding, infection, high blood pressure, longtime labor and bad abortions (流产). Mothers" deaths from such causes were largely reduced nearly a century ago in developed countries.
Experts say that what kill many women are “the three delays”— the woman"s delay in deciding to go to the hospital, the time she loses traveling there and the hospital"s delay in starting treatment. Only about 15 percent of births have dangerous complications(并发症)．
Women lack education and information about birth control. Husbands and inlaws, may decide where a woman gives birth and insist that she stay at home to save money. However, there is no single solution to a problem with so many factors—shortages of doctors, nurses, drugs, equipment, roads and t ransportation—though hospital officials are trying many things now.
One stopgap measure to solve the problem for the present has been to train assistant medical officers, to perform certain operations. Some African countries are now struggling to train more assistants and midwives (接生婆) , and provide places for pregnant women to stay near hospitals.
But there is a long way to go. Only 20 percent of women in the continent give birth at the hospital. More than 50 percent stay at home to give birth, and the rest go to local clinics that cannot handle emergencies.
小题1:Which is not included in the five leading causes of women"s deaths during pregnancy and childbirth?| A．Infection. | B．High blood pressure. | | C．Traveling long distances. | D．Bleeding. |
小题2:The underlined word “stopgap” probably means “________ ”in the passage.| A．final | B．temporary | C．effective | D．instant |
小题3:What can we learn from this passage?| A．The governments of African countries have to take more effective measures to save pregnant women. | | B．Developed countries should help African countries reduce mothers"deaths. | | C．The husbands in poor countries should take responsibility for their wives"deaths. | | D．Most problems that cause women"s deaths during pregnancy and childbirth can be treated or prevented. |
小题4:What is the author"s attitude towards the future of preventing women"s deaths during pregnancy and childbirth?| A．Positive. | B．Negative. | C．Objective. | D．Subjective. |
