    　　Those who have suffered from insomnia know the sinking feeling of watching the clock tick．Now a new study in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that lying in bed awake may actually contribute to the problem of sleeplessness．

    　　The study of 79 adults(average age 72)with insomnia aimed to determine whether brief behavioral interventions for insomnia would help．Traditional behavioral therapy(疗法)requires at least half a dozen hour-long sessions with a therapist－a costly commitment many patients either can’t make or don’t have access to．Other options include sleep-aiding medications or supplements．In the current study, the 39 participants in the behavioral therapy group received a 45-to 60-minute instructing session, plus a 30-minute follow-up session and two 20-minute phone calls．

    　　Doctors offered the following behavioral interventions for improving sleep．reduce time in bed; get up at the same time every day, regardless of sleep duration; don’t go to bed unless sleepy; and don’t stay in bed unless asleep．

    　　The other 40 participants in the study were given printed educational materials about insomnia which included the same instructions given to the intervention group, but without the individualized sessions with a therapist．Two weeks later, the latter group also got a 10-minute follow-up phone call．

    　　At the end of four weeks, the behavioral treatment group was significantly more likely to show improvements in sleep than the printed-materials group．By that time, 55％ of those who received behavioral treatment no longer met the criteria for insomnia compared　with 13％ of the group that got educational brochures．

    　　The good news comes at the same time as a report on the health effects of insomnia from the U．K．’S Mental Health Foundation．The report, Sleep Matters, suggests a link between insomnia and poor relationships, low energy levels and an inability to concentrate．Poor sleep has already been linked to depression, immune deficiency and heart disease．

    The Nobel Prizes

    The prizes are awarded by the Nobel Foundation（基金会）for outstanding achievements or contributions in these areas: chemistry, physics, medicine or physiology, literature and peace. Each prize has three parts. The first part is a gold medal. Second, a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a diploma（证书）saying that he has been awarded the prize. The third part of the prize is a large amount of money. Often a prize is awarded to just one person, but not always. Sometimes a prize is shared, maybe by two or more people who have worked together to reach a goal. Since the Nobel Prizes are international prizes, scientists, inventors, writers, and diplomats（外交官）from all countries may receive a prize. Sometimes, two people from countries with different political views may even share a prize. An example of this is the 1973 Peace Prize, which was awarded to Henry Kissinger of the United States and to Le Due Tho of North Vietnam for the Vietnam（越南）peace negotiations（谈判）.It is also sometimes true that a prize is not given. If there is no outstanding achievement in one of these areas, no prize is given in that area. In 1972, for example, no Nobel Peace Prize was given. Someone must decide whether or not to give an award. The process of nominating（提名，推荐）and choosing Nobel Prize winners has two parts. First, nominations, or recommendations of people who might deserve（应得）a Nobel Prize, are made. The nominations in physics and chemistry are made by the Royal Academy（研究员，学会）of Science in Stockholm. The nominations in medicine or physiology are made by the Caroline Medical Institute, which is also in Stockholm. The Swedish Academy, along with the French and Spanish Academies, makes nominations in literature. The peace prize nominations are made by a committee of the Norwegian government. Many nominations are made in each area. Nominations from these groups begin the process of choosing the Nobel Prize winners.

    The second part of the process of choosing Nobel Prize winners is to decide which of the nominees deserves the award in each area. This decision is made by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm. The Foundation may decide not to give a prize at all in any area.

    1.A Nobel Prize is given in the form of _____________.

    A. a large quantity of money　　　　　　　　　　   B.a diploma

    C.a gold medal　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  D.all of the above

    2.The 1973 Peace Prize was awarded to _____________.
