Do you sleep well? If your answer is no, the following might help you.
Set a certain bedtime and rising time
A certain bedtime and rising time can help you build up your body clocks. Set a bedtime which is good and natural for you. Don't change your bedtime and rising time on weekends
Avoid exciting activities just before sleeping
Exciting activities get your thoughts running. At the same time, if you make tomorrow's plan or read an exciting story before turning off the light, it doesn't give you enough time to relax before you try to sleep.
Keep the bedroom for sleeping only
It's a bad habit for you to use your bedroom as a place to eat, watch TV, read, talk on the phone, or discuss important matters with
your family members. Break that habit to get better sleep.
Don't go to bed too early
Your body usually lets you sleep only the number of hours it needs. You should decide how many hours you must sleep in order not to experience daytime sleepiness.

Last year, I worked in a middle school near my granny s house, and I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food.
After the first week, I noticed that the food was eaten up very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my granny. To my surprise, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them.
One day, I talked to a neighbour and found out that my granny was well-known in the area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own granny. Then it hit me--why
wouldn't she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out?
When my granny got home, I gave her a big hug (拥抱). I told her she didn't need to keep it a secret from me. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. Others slept on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children by giving them food. After she told me everything, I was so moved by how selfless she was. She helped others in need. As her grandson, I was so proud of my granny.
I continued to buy food for my granny after that. But I always added one more bag for her other grandsons.

Have you ever wished to have an umbrella that makes your hands free? Alan Kaufman has come up with the "Nubrella", which means "new" + "umbrella". It is the first truly hands-free umbrella in the world. The inventor says that it stops rain, wind and snow and can keep your head, face and hair dry.
"I never planned to invent a product. I just noticed a problem and came up with a solution," said the inventor. The idea for the invention began on one rainy day, when Mr. Kaufman was standing in one of his stores. He began to look at people's umbrellas. He found that they had to try very hard to keep their umbrellas in the right place. At that moment an idea came into his mind. He ran to
his desk and drew a picture. In this way, the Nubrella was born.
One cool feature of the Nubrella is that you don't hold it like a normal umbrella; you wear it. The shoulder straps (肩带) of the Nubrella allow people to be fully hands-free, so when walking in the rain with the Nubrella, you are able to use your cell phone or drink a hot cup of coffee. Also, the Nubrella will never be inverted (颠倒) in the wind. The new umbrella is far safer than traditional ones, because it has no sharp points.
9. How can you use the "Nubrella"?
A. You can wear the shoulder straps of the Nubrella.
B. You can put the Nubrella on your head.
C. You can use your hands to control it.
D. You can put it on your bike.
10. Which of the following is NOT right?
A. "Nubrella" means "new" + "umbrella".
B. The idea of the new umbrella came from the rainy day.
C. When you are walking in the rain, you'd better take the Nubrella.
D. If you go out with the Nubrella in the rain, you'd better drink
a hot cup of coffee.
11. It can be learned from the passage that ______.
A. Alan Kaufman often uses umbrellas in everyday life
B. the new kind of umbrella was invented by an umbrella store owner
C. the inventor thought for a long time before inventing the Nubrella
D. you can do other things with your hands when using the Nubrella
12. The writer writes the passage to ______.
A. introduce this new kind of umbrella to people who are selling umbrellas
B. tell the readers about a great inventor named Alan Kaufman
C. tell the readers about a new invention that is very useful
D. tell the readers that the inventor didn't want to invent anything。
