Nothing is more frustrating than not being able to sleep, tossing and turning (翻来覆去). Your mind is racing, going over everything that happened that day. Night noises keep you awake. What can you do? Here are some things you can do to help you to fall asleep.

Sleep only when sleepy

This reduces the time you are awake in bed.

If you can’t fall asleep within 20 minutes, get up and do something boring until you feel sleepy.

Don’t expose yourself to bright light while you are up. The light tells your brain that it is time to wake up.

Don’t take naps

This will ensure that you are tired at bedtime. If you just can’t make it through the day without a nap, sleep less than one hour, and take a nap before 3 p.m.

Get up and go to bed at the same time every day

Even on weekends! When your sleep cycle has a regular rhythm, you will feel better.

Regular exercise can help you sleep well, but the time to do exercise is important. Exercising in the morning or early afternoon will not interfere (干扰) with sleep.

Have a snack before bedtime

If your stomach is too empty, that can interfere with sleep. However, if you eat a heavy meal before bedtime, that can interfere as well. Have a warm glass of milk.

Take a hot bath 90 minutes before bedtime

A hot bath will raise your body temperature, but it is the drop in body temperature that may make you feel sleepy.

1._______ can help you fall asleep at night.

A.Reading an uninteresting story

B.Thinking over what happened during the day

C.Sitting quietly with the light on

D.Taking some exercise

2.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A.You should follow the routine even on weekends.

B.Go to bed right after you take a hot bath.

C.The time to take exercise is important.

D.Don’t take a long nap even though you are very sleepy.

3.According to the passage, one had better not take naps _______.

A.when they have many things to do

B.before 3 p.m

C.for over one hour

D.when they are tired

4.What can we infer from the passage?

A.A regular sleep cycle will make you feel better.

B.Taking exercise now and then can help you sleep well.

C.Have a little food when you feel very hungry before bedtime.

D.The drop in your body temperature makes you feel sleepy.

If you're networking (建立人际关系) and nothing is happening, you might need to evaluate how you're doing it. Maybe you show up at each event and still feel challenged by the process. You aggressively talk to people, give out your cards, call endlessly to schedule an appointment but have no real success from your efforts. To help you gain a different future, here are ten habits you should avoid.

Ineffective networkers:

1. Lack patience. They expect immediate results and want business now, not tomorrow.

2. Constantly “selling” something. They see dollar signs every time they shake hands with someone.

3. Too many choices. If they offer a variety of products, they might try too hard to tell about all of them. Offering too much information sends a confusing message making it difficult for people to send referral (指点). Opportunities are all around us but when you're networking, only focus on one.

4. Change positions too often. If they move from company to company or do something totally different, it might be difficult for people to keep up with them.

5. Lack manners and respect. They interrupt others, talk with food in their mouth, aren't very polite and appear unprofessional. They call people during dinner or on the weekends without thinking whether the occasion is suitable.

6. Distribute too many cards and sales literature. They come while loading with brochures, flyers (传单), catalogues and samples.

7. Focus on themselves. Too much self­ promotion can leave the other person to feel unappreciated. Every sentence begins with “I” and is all about their business.

8. “Talking” instead of “giving”. They don't realize what other people sense when they are being very selfish. Others may think that they are being taken advantage of.

9. Lack authenticity (可靠性) and personal values. They may create unrealistic expectations and not deliver on their promises. Sometimes doing things without integrity (诚实) possibly twists the truth.

10. Poor communication and interpersonal skills. They have trouble speaking effectively, building relationships and following up.

Networking is a process that is an investment of time and money. If you find you're doing any of these habits, consider learning how to improve on these and maximize your results while networking. You'll start to get better at connecting with people and obtain more referrals.

1.This passage is meant for people who ______.

A. want to do more businesses

B. often take instead of giving

C. have  poor communication and interpersonal skills

D. want to improve their interpersonal relationship

2.According to the second habit, we shouldn't ______ when we are networking.

A. sell  things                          B. talk about dollars

C. pay attention to money only            D. shake hands with everyone

3.When talking with others, you should ______.

A. give out your cards and brochures every now and then

B. talk about the quality of your product as much as possible

C. interrupt others when they make a mistake

D. let other people express themselves completely

4.Which of the following is NOT correct about a salesman's behavior?

A. He offers too much self­promotion during the conversation.

B. He considers carefully when he can get what he expects.

C. He only focuses on one opportunity when networking.

D. He keeps his promises and doesn't expect too much from others.

How to Be a Winner

  Sir Steven Redgrave

  Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals

  “In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes(糖尿病). Believing my career was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it ---the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn't finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”

  Karen Pickering

  Swimming World Champion

 “I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success----you can’t follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.”

  Kirsten Best

  Poet & Writer

“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve something. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’, ‘peace’ or ‘focus’, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological tool”
