Get some physical exercise during the day. Even 15 minutes a day of exercise ( at least half an hour before going to bed so your body will have a chance to slow down) will give your body the activity and oxygen(氧)it needs to help you relax more and sleep better.

Listen to light music. Play some soft, soothing music that will help you sleep. Of course you must have a recorder of CD player that will automatically(自动地)turn off because if you get up and turn it off at the end, you’ll lose its effect.

Drink warm milk. A glass of warm milk 15 minutes before going to bed will keep you calm.

Keep regular bedtime hours. Your body likes regular routines(常规), whether you do or not. It likes to know that it’s going to get up at the same time each day, eat at the same time, and go to bed at the same time.

Avoid caffeine, alcohol and tobacco(避免咖啡因、酒精和香烟). Before you go to sleep, you’d better not drink coffee or cola which contains caffeine. Don’t drink wine, beer or champagne(香槟)which contain alcohol and don’t smoke.

The word “day” has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning(旋转)of the earth. At the equator(赤道)day and night are sometimes the same length(长度). They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted(倾斜)toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere(半球)gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.

61．When the Western Hemisphere is having day, the Eastern Hemisphere is having ______.

　A. both day and night 　　　　　　　B. day

　Once upon a time, people wrote letters mostly with pen and paper. But the Internet has changed all that. Among computers users today, between 50 and 90 percent of written letters take place through e-mail. That’s much different from the days when everyone relied on “snail mail”. More and more new e-mail users are asking, “How can I write better e-mail message?” Here are six tips for you.

(1)　 Who are you writing to?

Who are you writing to? A friend, classmate, teacher or boss? Be sure the tone of your e-mail message is right for the receiver. Using slang(俚语) or abbreviations(缩写词) may be all right for your friends. But business letters should use full names and complete sentences.

(2)　 Be direct.

Readers of e-mail have little patience. Say what you want to say directly.

(3)　 Use short sentences.

E-mail is quicker and more convenient than snail mail. It’s also much easier to throw away. Don’t use long sentences. Make your sentences short and clear.

(4)　 Give enough details.

A terrible e-mail message reads like this: “Did you get my e-mail?” Someone reading this will wonder, “Which e-mail? Sent where? About what?” Today’s e-mail users sometimes get many messages every day, so be sure your messages have enough details to be understood.

(5)　 Use the subject line well.

Readers see what’s in the subject line of your message before anything else. Don’t say “Hi, from Wang Peng”-They can see who sent the message from the address. A short, direct explanation of the content of our message will get you a faster answer.

(6)　 Don’t be too slow to answer.

Remember that in the world of e-mail, things happen fast. If you take longer than a week to answer someone’s message, it may be too late.

56.Which of the following is true?

A.　　 Now most people who use computers give others e-mails instead of letters.

B.　　 Now people don’t like giving others e-mails

C.　　 Now most of the people like writing letters with pen and paper.

D.　　 Writing an e-mail is hard and you should learn how to write it.

57. Which of the following subject lines in the best?

A. hello from Ann.　　　　　　　 B. Hello. I sent you an e-mail.
