When the morning sun looks in through your bedroom window, do you jump out of bed? Or do you roll over and groan? Enough sleep can make the difference between a great day and a terrible one!

A good night’s sleep doesn’t just happen. You need to prepare for it. 31 First, go to bed at the same time every day, and get up at the same time. If you haven’t gotten a good night’s sleep, don’t oversleep the next morning. Get up at your reg ular time. Sleeping late for just a couple of days can change your body clock to a different cycle. You don’t want that if you have a set daily schedule!

Also, avoid big meals at night. 32 Your stomach works hard to digest those fatty foods, and that may keep you up.

Your body produces a chemical called melatonin (褪黑色素）that helps you sleep. Light affects the amount of melatonin your body makes. 33 So at night turn off your TV and computer. Also, don’t read from a backlit device like an iPad. Some scientists think that the light from those devices stops your body from making melatonin. 34

Maybe you can’t sleep or you wake up in the middle of the night.35 Get up and do something relaxing elsewhere. Then go back to bed when you feel sleepy. If you worry a lot, make a list of things you need to do the next day. Do that an hour before bed. That way you get your worrying out of the way before you go to bed.

A. It produces more in the evening and less in the daytime.

B. Don’t just lie in bed.

C. So stay away from smart phones and iPads.

D. Various experts have given tips to help.

E. You’ll be able to face a new day after a good night’s sleep.

F. So turn those screens off at least one hour before bedtime.

G. Eating heavy, rich food within two hours of bedtime can keep you awake.

For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans. 1 Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today. Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world.

Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829. 2 He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847. Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business. This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention. After the gold rush of 1949, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes.

Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals. Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners. At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth. 3 When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners. These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more.

In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets（铆钉）. This made the pants last a long time．Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent. 4 _ .
