Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine(尼古丁). If you want coffee in the afternoon or evening, drink less. An alcoholic drink, especially more than one, will not help you sleep better. A drink may, or may not, help you fall asleep, but alcohol causes you to sleep poorly and be unable to sleep all night. 542. Don't overeat, but don't go to bed hungry.

A small piece of chicken or other protein may also work well before bed. 553. 56 It can help you avoid lacking water and is generally good for your health.

Go for a walk.Mildly raised glucose(葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain. 393. Learn something new.Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind.

So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule :1.Think ahead.

It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule.

When you have found shoes that seem right, walk in them for a few days to double-check thefit.②__________. As always, you should stretch(伸展) at least ten minutes before each run to prevent injuries.During the first week, do not think about distance, but run five minutes longer each day.③__________, it is wise to take a day off to rest.

A garden that's just right for youHave you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum(总和)of its parts?①__________. But it doesn’t happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process.②__________Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers (肥料). ③__________. However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years.Recall (回忆) your childhood memoriesOur model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma’s rose garden and Dad’s vegetable garden might be good or bad,but that’s not what’s important. ④__________—how being in those gardens made us feel. If you’d like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth. ⑤__________. Then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden. Have fun.A. Know why you gardenB. Find a good place for your own gardenC.

Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month.①__________ One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories.②__________We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing(加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processesthat take place while we sleep have been unclear.Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. ③__________Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he isright. ④__________The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.If Tononi’s theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night’s, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. ⑤__________"You keep what matters," Tononi says.A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.B. It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.C. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.D. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.E. That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.F. "Sleep is the price we pay for learning,"says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.G. Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.13. Success seems to find Maya Moore everywhere she goes. But life hasn’t been a bed of ro ses for Maya and her biggest supporter, her mother.①__________Maya discovered her love of basketball in 1997 at the age of 8. That was the year when the WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) began holding games. The young girl watched the WNBA star Cynthia Cooper-Dyke play in the Olympics.②__________Three years later her mother, Kathryn, was offered a better job in North Carolina. Kathryn decided to make the move from Missouri because North Carolina provided greater basketball opportunities. Sadly, in two months the company downsized, and Kathryn lost her job. She remembers, “③__________” Maya said the difficulties brought them closer, and she praises her mom. "She's more than ateammate.

Professor Deborah Tannen, of Georgetown University, has noticed differences in the style of boys' and girls' conversations from an early age. According to her study, little girls' conversation is less clear than boys' and expresses more doubts. 2These differences will continue into adult life, she says. In public conversations, men talk most and interrupt other speakers more than women do. In private conversations, men and women speak in almost equal amounts. 3 Professor Tannen believes that, for women, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy (亲密). For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure (结构) of a relationship.4 “When a woman teaches another woman,” says Professor Tannen, “she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in. When a man teaches a woman, however, he wants to show that he has more knowledge and power in conversation.5 ”Some scientists who are studying speech think that the brain is preprogrammed for language.

American football, however, uses a ball that is pointy (尖的) on both ends. While it does include some kicking, there is more throwing and catching involved.In football, there are 11 players from each team on the field at one time. Each team tries to move the ball across the opposing team's goal line to score. The quarterback (四分卫) throws the ball, and the person who catches it tries to run past the opposing team's players. The way to stop someone running with the ball is to tackle him.

Go for a walk.Mildly raised glucose(葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain. 393. Learn something new.Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards.

Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn’t write it down? 7 But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. If I’m away from my computer, I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go.I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer.◆It helps you review all the lessons you’v e learned. By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons you’ve learned and the ideas you’ve gotten.8 You can use the ideas to propel (鞭策) yourself forward.◆9 After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how f ar you’ve gone.

It can be a fact about history or a theory you didn’t know existed. If you want to learn new words, reading books is a great way to enlarge your vocabulary.12 Similar to solving puzzles, reading books allows your mind to practice its processing skills. Going without books for too long will turn your mind into a whirl(混乱).One of the primary benefits of reading books is its ability to develop your critical thinking skills. 13 Wherever you are faced with a similar problem in real life, your mind is able to put its mystery-solving skills to atest.One of the real benefits of reading books is that the information in it can be accessed over and over again. For example, reading a cookbook allows you the luxury of reviewing the procedures whenever you need to. 14 Don’t even think about writing the information down because you may lose the paper you wrote down on sooner or later.These are just some of the wonderful benefits of reading books. 15 If you can’t even go outside, you can download free e-books on line and read them on your computer.

However, in some cases, people begin to take advantage of your kind nature, expecting more from you. 16 If you feel as if there are people in your life who take you for granted, it’s time to protect yourself.Know that you have the right to feel respected. Social and cultural pressures may encourage you to believe that it’s rude to say “no” to others when they ask you for things. You may also have been taught to feel that your work is less valuable than others’ and does not deser ve acknowledgement. 17 Everyone has the right to be respected and appreciated, and it isn’t wrong to want to be treated that way.Identify what has changed in the relationship. If you feel taken for granted, it may be because you once felt valued by the person who is now taking you for granted. It might also be because the knowledge that you should feel appreciated but do not. 18 It can also help you find a solution for the relationship.19 You know that you don’t want to feel taken for granted. Bu t what do you want? It will be hard to see any change in your situation if you feel vague dissatisfaction but have no clear ideas on what would improve it.20 Once you know the change about the relationship clearly, you’ll be able to take better action to get you there.A. Think about what you want.B. Practice what you want to say.C. These things can lead to you feeling taken for granted.D. Try making a list of things that you would like to see the change about the relationship.E. If you feel taken for granted by others, you need to communicate that to the other person.F.
