Disability aids are vital to those who suffer problems with executing work with two hands．These are people who have been disabled due to some major sickness or some other problems．In order to help them carry on their work in the normal way, disability aids are manufactured．This helps them make their life a lot easier than what it would have been without these aids．The kind of disability aids that an individual might require depends on the person only．It is the problem that a person faces that decides the aids that he/she will use for carrying out their respective jobs．The following is the list of a few disability aids that come of significant use．
The first and foremost aid is the stocking aid, aiding the individuals suffering from the problem of bending down to reach the foot and wear their own socks．These stocking aids have a gutter(槽) that is made up of plastic material．These gutters are shaped in a certain way along with the attachment of cotton tapes in it．The sock is then put over the gutter．The foot is placed inside the gutter．The cotton tapes help in pulling the socks up the leg and subsequently the sock．In this manner, the sock is worn by a person who has problems wearing it by bending one’s back and reaching the foot．
There are openers that help the people who have problems with their hands or wrists to open bottles of ketchup, jam and other such bottles and jars that necessitates the use of hands and fingers．
The third type of disability aids that comes to our minds are lifts．Now what are lifts? Lifts are certain machines that help in lifting people from specific areas, such as a bathtub or a set of stairs．These lifts are of varied types and come for numerous applications．It is for the individual to decide the type that he/she requires to use．
For people, who have problems in balancing their upper bodies in a stable manner, there is something known as grab rails．These grab rails are installed for those who have mobility problems in their upper bodies．These rails come in varieties of shapes, sizes and angles．These grab rails are available to home users as well, in their different variations．One can purchase and fix one to their homes according to one’s specificities．These grab rails require the act of screwing and drilling in order to fix them to their appropriate place．The prices of these rails also vary according to the variation of their shapes and sizes．
A portable book holder is a much sought-after disability aid．It can be used by anybody for that matter, not just the disabled．These portable book holders are light-weight and can be easily moved about．These holders relieve the strains on one’s hands, necks and shoulders that might occur due to the handling of a book．The holders are provided with extended legs that help in placing the reading material at suitable distance．
Thus with the help of these disability aids, the old and disabled people can make their lives much more convenient and comfortable that would otherwise have been a cumbersome and complex one．

People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study. _ 3.

2. 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. 4.
3. Learn something new.

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time – about eight hours after you wake up – your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates(气候), where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease.
Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap – even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.
1.Why do people feel sleepy in the early afternoon according to the text?
A. They eat too much for lunch.
B. They sleep too little at night.
C. Their body temperature becomes lower.
D. The weather becomes a lot warmer.
2.If you get up at 6:30 am, what is the best time for you to take a nap?
A. About 12:30 pm. B. About 1:30 pm.
C. About 2:30 pm D. About 3:30 pm
3.What would be the best title for the text?
A. Taking a Rest
B. Taking a Nap
C. A Special Sleep Pattern.
D. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate.
