     When you leave school, you_can_breathe_a_sigh_of_relief_and_leave_learning_behind, right?
Wrong! Learning should last a lifetime. You exercise your body to stay strong, and you should exercise
your mind to stay sharp.
                                                      
     An English idiom says, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." But scientists have discovered that
isn't true. Older people can learn, and they should, in order to keep their brain active. Now a new trend
has begun in several states in the US that encourages learning. Adults can attend One Day University.
They can spend a Saturday or Sunday hearing four 70-minute lectures. Each one is given by a top
university professor. One of the original participants said, "It's like a health club for the brain." Also,
universities like MIT have made all of their courses and lectures available online for free! Libraries offer
learning programs too. With so much available, there is no excuse not to learn!
     Learning is a habit.Don't leave it behind after you leave school. On the website lifehack.org, author
Scott Young mentions several things to help you.
     Always have a book. It doesn't matter if you read fast or slow. Just read.If you read just one book a
week, you'll read 52 over the course of a year. Think of the knowledge you'll gain!
     Practice it. As you read, do something with what you've learned. Don't just enjoy the mental exercise.
Use the knowledge. If you read about painting, try it!
     Make a "to learn" list. Compose a "to learn" list for yourself. Maybe you want to speak better English, play the piano, or cook French food. Whatever interests you, put it on your list and then make the time to do it. Teach others. Whatever you learn, teach someone else. You'll not only help others but also
understand what you've learned.
1. What's the best title for this passage?

How to beat insomnia and sleep easy

Poor sleep – as anyone who suffers from it knows – can make life a misery. And it is taking its toll on the nation's health. According to the recently published Great British Sleep Survey, more than 51% of us now struggle to get a good night's sleep, with women three times more likely to be affected than men.

Evidence shows that 93% of insomniacs report low energy levels and 83% complain of mood swings. Some 77% find it hard to concentrate, 64% say they are less productive at work, and 55% report relationship difficulties.     71     

So how can we do something about poor sleep without pills? Most sleep experts think that the following do make a difference.

1.   72   It is very, very powerful, and we need to get it working for us: a person not sleeping well has first and foremost to allow sleep to do its work. Sleep is a process of letting go.

2. Most sleep problems are psychological obstacles that we put in sleep's way. Like all things we should do automatically, when we deliberately try to do them we screw up.      __73   Recognize there's a right and a wrong kind of effort. Your role model is the “careless sleeper"

3. Go to sleep only when you feel sleepy and, if anything, shorten the time you try to sleep. A lot of people put good sleep beyond the achievable simply because they are so worried about not sleeping. Their sleep becomes worse.   74   That is because you do it with an intention to force yourself into sleep.

4.   75   A racing mind – what happened today, what's on tomorrow, what will the future hold? – is a huge obstacle to sleep. So take time before you go to bed: go through the day, think about tomorrow, put things in their boxes, make a list. Set your mind at rest.

5. Learn to value relaxation, and if necessary learn specific relaxation techniques. Above all, "Don't try too hard." But, of course, for some that is easier said than done.

A. Put the day to bed long before putting yourself to bed.

B. Recognize that sleep is not a lifestyle choice, it is a biological process.

C. Sleep experts are trying to work out ways to deal with the problem.

D. If you try to read a book in bed, it's never very successful.

E. Keep you mind busy before you go to sleep.

F. Even worse, long-term poor sleep can increase the risk health of problems.

G. Adopt a relaxed, confident approach to sleep, not a nervous, panic-stricken one.

Mom and Dad are two of the most important people in your life. Over your lifetime, they may influence you more than anyone else you will meet. So if your mom loves to read, you just might grow up carrying a book wherever you go, just as she does. But parents do a lot more than just pass on their hobbies. Moms and Dads need to care for their kids the minute their kids are born. Most parents will do this as long as they live.

Here are some ways you can stay close, get along well, and build a strong relationship (关系) with your parents.

Spend time together. Instead of playing computer games or watching TV, ask your mom and dad to play with you. Go outside together, or do some reading.

Be kind. Little things might mean a lot to your mom or dad. You can brighten a parent’s day with a hug(拥抱), a card , or a joke. It’s also lovely when a kid cleans up his or her room without being asked. And if you try not to fight with your brothers or sisters, your parents will be so happy!

Do your best at whatever you do. You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you’re turning into a great kid. Why? Because it lets them know they’re doing a good job.

Ryka Inc.

Since I started this company in my kitchen seven years ago.I always dreamt of what it would be some day.Focusing on that goal helps me get through tough times.To get the kind of success that you want, you need to dream big.That’s the starting point.Every success story begins with big dreams.You need to have big dreams for yourself, like being somebody rich, famous or fulfilled.You need to have a clear goal of what you want to achieve.

Also, I think it’s really important that the people you’re working with are as committed to the same goal as you are, so you can support each other and keep each other dynamic.

2.________

Anita Roddick

The Body Shop Inc.

In America, we have a shop in Harlem where 50 percent of the profits go into the community development, and the other 50 percent go toward the funding of a similar shop elsewhere in the United States.The pride that shop brings to the staff and local people inspired me.

What The Body Shop does successfully is use our facilities in the street and shopping centers to talk about real human issues like AIDS, recycling, human rights, and community service or to encourage people to speak out against anything they consider to be unjust.Knowing our products are symbols of social change is really encouraging.

3.________

Richard Melman

Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises

A number of years ago, I was interviewed by someone who was writing a book on enterprises.He asked me, "What’s the opposite of work?” I answered, “Lazy.” He started laughing and said, “Believe it or not, a lot of entrepreneurs say the same thing.”

The average person thinks the opposite of work is play, but to an entrepreneur, work is play.I think it all adds up to having fun.It’s fun to create, it’s fun to entertain, and it’s fun to make people happy with our service.When it stops being fun, I’ll stop doing it.

4.________

Frank Toskan

One of the nicest things anyone ever said to me was, “I hate makeup, but I love M.A.C.” That’s what moves me on.Even people who don’t wear makeup can appreciate our company, what it stands for, its values, and the way we do business.

We work from an inverted(颠倒的)pyramid, where the customers are always at the top.Our customers inspire me and keep me going.They and our staff, not money, make me enthusiastic.If I had stayed in this business just for the money, I would have closed down years ago.

5.________

Kenneth Cole

Kenneth Cole Productions Inc.

You can’t be everything to everybody.Each of us has our own strengths and weaknesses.To be effective, you need to identify your strengths and concentrate on them.You’ll become more successful if you are able to channel your efforts to areas that you do best.In business, for example, if you know you are good at marketing, then give it full play.Seek help or assistance in areas that you may be poor at, such as accounting or bookkeeping.To turn your weakness into strength, consider taking hands-on learning or training.
