BEIJING March l ( Reuters) - China hailed its best ever Winter Olympics on Mon- day, crediting technology, foreign coaches and even improved language skills for the winning five gold, two silver and four bronze medals in 'Vancouver.
Only eight years after skater Yang Yang (A) won the country's first Winter gold at Salt Lake City, a sweep of the women' s short track speed skating and a first figure skating title helped China to joint seventh place in the medals table.
"Cold Standard" read the banner headline on the front page China Daily, while the People' s Daily led its sports page with "Vancouver historical breakthrough " .
"We have made an important breakthrough at these Games" Xiao Tian, deputy chef de mission of China' s largest ever Winter Games delegation, told the Xinhua news agency.
" Actually the five - gold finish was within my expectation before we set off for the Games,but I couldn't say that at that time because I would not want to put any pressure on the ath- letes.Now I can speak out."
Xiao was quick to retun to the earlier subject of conversation to pessirrustic(悲观) type, however, when discussing the future, emphasizing the huge task the Winter Sports adnunistra- tion faced to close the gap on their Summer counterparts, who topped the table at the 2008 Bei- jing Olympics.
"Despite the good results at these Games, we still have a long way to go in the develop-ment of China's winter sports," he said.
"It' s impossible for us to reach the same -level as we have done in Summer sports, but we will try to minimize the gap as much as we can."
Xiao said that progress would come not through a vast expansion of the Winter sports pro- gramme but by using the best coaches, wherever they came from, and technology.

Celebrating sleep
World Sleep Day, observed (庆祝)on 21 March, was created to bring attention to the growing number of sleep problems worldwide. Sleep is a natural part of human life, but many people in the modern world ignore its importance. As a result, sleep problems are increasingly common.
In 2002, scientists at the University of Athens in Greece conducted a survey of over 35,000 people in 10 countries around the world, including China, Belgium and South Africa. Of the people, 24 percent said that they did not sleep well, and based on their responses, 31.6 percent were diagnosed (诊断)with insomnia(失眠)and another 17.5 percent were diagnosed with borderline insomnia. In addition, 30.7 percent of survey respondents reported visiting a doctor for help with sleep problems and 11.6 percent said that they felt very sleepy during the day.
Overall, the survey found that many people suffer the effects of poor quality sleep, some examples of which are being unable to fall asleep and waking up in the middle of the night. The main factors causing these problems are pressure from school or work and a fast pace of life, but noise pollution and light pollution also disturb sleep and contribute to poor quality sleep. The survey’s findings are particularly troubling because large numbers of people were found to have difficulty sleeping at night. The short-term effects of this are tiredness and trouble concentrating(专心). If this happens for a long time, the risk of putting on weight and having a heart attack may increase.
There are many things you can do to improve the quality of your sleep. First, you should have regular sleep habits. Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day. You also need to make your bedroom a cool, dark, quiet place to sleep so that heat, light and noise do not disturb you. At night, you should also avoid things that contain caffeine(咖啡因), such as chocolate, coffee, tea and many soft drinks, as caffeine may keep you from sleeping.
Getting a good night's sleep is important for everyone. By following the advice above, you can rest better at night and work better during the day.
