听力原文： Do you have trouble sleeping at night？ Then maybe this is for you.

When you worry about needing sleep and toss and turn trying to find a comfortable position, you're probably only making matters worse. What happens when you do that is that your heart rate actually increases, making it more difficult to relax.

You may also have some had habits that contribute to the problem. Do you rest frequently during the day？ Do you get virtually no exercise, or do you exercise vigorously late in the day？ Are you worried about sleep, or do you sleep late on weekends？ Any or all of these factors might be leading to your insomnia by upsetting your body's natural rhythm.

What should you do then, n those sleepless nights？ Don't bother with sleeping pills. They can actually cause worse insomnia later. The best thing to do is drink milk or eat cheese. These are rich in amino acids and help produce a neurotransmitter in the brain that induces sleep. This neurotransmitter will help you relax, and you'll be on your way to getting a good night's sleep.

Until tomorrow's broadcast, this has been another in the series "Hints for Good Health".

(23)

A．Avoid getting exercise during the day.

B．Exercise regularly.

C．Sleep late when you feel like it.

D．Think of sleep all the time.

听力原文： Do you find yourself feeling fired all the time although you get enough sleep？ Then maybe this is for you. When you're feeling weak and fired, the worst thing to do is to take a nap. It won't restore your stamina. On the contrary, what happens then is your body loses even more energy than it had before, making you even sleepier.

You may also have these poor habits that worsen the problems. Do you stay in the same small area without getting up to move around？ Does your job require that you sit dawn the whole day in front of a computer？ Any or all of these reasons might be the cause of your energy loss, keeping your energy level low.

What should you do, then, at those moments when you feel so tired even though you've got enough sleep？ A cup of coffee won't help much either, as it is easy to get addicted to the caffeine. The best and most natural thing to do is to take a brisk walk. Doctors recommend the activity because it will increase the heart rate. This increased heart rate will lead to several hours of alertness. Moreover, a regular exercise routine can make your fatigue problems disappear forever.

(26)

A．Your heart rate increases.

B．You become even more tired.

C．You solve the fatigue problem.

D．You'll get hungry.

Energy Cycle

Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it&39;s painful？ This might be called lazi-ness, but Dr. Kleitman has anew explanation. He has proved that everyone has adaily energycycle.

During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you&39;re "hot". That&39;strue. The time of day when you feel most energeticis when your cycle of body temperature is at itspeak. For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon orevening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as : "Getup, John! You&39;ll be late for work again!" The possiB．le explanation to the trouB．le is that John isat his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbandsand wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.

You can&39;t change your energy cycle, B．ut you can learn to make your life fit to it better. HaB．itcan help, Dr. Kleitman B．elieves. MayB．e you&39;re sleepy in the evening but you must stay up lateanyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by haB．itually staying up later than you want to. Ifyour energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, risebeforeyour usual hour. This won&39;t change your cycle, but you&39;ll get up steam and work better at yourlow point.

Get off to aslow start which saves your energy. Get up with aleisurely yawn and stretch. Siton the edge of the bed aminute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble of search-ing for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work inthe afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.

A.he is alazy person

听力原文：Interviewer: Could you tell me what you do for a living？

Teacher: Um, I work as a guitar teacher in a number of local schools.

Interviewer: How do you actually begin to teach somebody to play the guitar？

Teacher: Well, I should make it clear first that I teach mainly classical guitar, er, that is playing tunes on the guitar itself rather than just using the guitar to accompany a singer. The most important thing to start with I think is getting people to sit in the correct position, in that you need a small stool to put your left foot on, and then also to make sure that the pupil is holding the guitar correctly and that their hands are in the right position.

Interviewer: Do some people find that difficult though, to get their hands right on the guitar？

Teacher: Yes, yes, er, I think if you said to somebody now play these few notes on a guitar their technique would be all wrong. The things you have to learn don't come naturally at all. They are something you have to learn to do.

Interviewer: Is it easier to teach younger children or easier to teach older children？ What's the best age to start learning the guitar？

Teacher: In my experience I think that about 10 or 11 is quite a good age to start; it is possible to start younger; I've had one or two pupils who've started about the age of 7 or 8 and it's been quite successful but not always, There are the usual problems with young children keeping their concentration and practising. No, I would have said about 10 or 11. Adults too are interesting. I think children have an advantage over adults; they're often more physically able; they have more ability in their hands and fingers than adults. For this reason they often find it easier.

Interviewer: Is there anything you find really frustrating about teaching children though？

Teacher: Well, occasionally you come across children who are doing it because their parents want them to do it and they don't want to do it, and that can be a very frustrating situation in that they have got no motivation at all.

Interviewer: But on the whole you enjoy teaching children？

Teacher: Oh yes, yes, I do. I find it very rewarding actually, about 90 percent of the time. I would be less than honest if I said all the time. sometimes when you've got one be- ginner after another, Maybe they haven' t done as much practice as you would want them to, then you find your mind wandering a bit, thinking of all the things you could be doing but it is rewarding and I do enjoy it.

Chris teaches children the guitar ______.

A．in one school

B．privately

C．in his free time

D．in more than one school

阅读理解：阅读下面的短文，根据文章内容进行判断，正确写“T”错误写“F”。

Feedback from your customers is very important. The more information you have from them, the more competitive you will be in your field. The following techniques will help you know what the customers think of your business.

1. Ask your customers directly and cater to their wishes. This is the simplest way to find out what people want from your service or product. When hotel customers are asked what they want for their breakfast and then the hotel staff are asked what they think the customer wants, the answers are quite different.

2. Be a customer yourself and find out what your customers experience when they use your service. This is one of the most obvious but underused ways for getting feedback. For example, you can act as one of the customers in a wheelchair, and see how you’re treated.

3. Use a focus group. Focus groups are representatives of customers whose job is to provide you with information on their needs and preferences.

4. Use questionnaires and surveys. This is one of the most well-established feedback techniques. When well-conducted, they usually work well.

5. Encourage your front-line staff to build strong relationships with customers. Your front-line staff are the most resourceful and reliable, as well as the least costly, of your customer feedback sources. Their communication with the customers will become important information for improving customer care.

You may deliver the best service in the world. But if it is not what people want, you’re wasting your time. Implement one, two, three or all of the above techniques, and your service and product will improve overnight.

1. Hotel customers and hotel staff think the same about breakfast.{T、F}

2. A good or bad experience of a customer in a wheelchair in your shop shows whether your service is good or not.{T、F}

3. It’s not necessary to know about the customers’ needs and preferences. {T、F}

4. Questionnaires are useful in getting feedback from customers.{T、F}

5. Front-line staff have nothing to do with improving customer service.{T、F}

听力原文：Tom: Mr. Clinton, I have been with this company for five years. And I've always b

een very loyal to the company. And I feel that I've worked quite hard here. And I've never been promoted. It's getting to the point now in my life where, you know, I need more money, i would like to buy a car. I'd like to start a family, and maybe buy a house, all of which is impossible with the current salary you' re paying me.

Mr. Clinton: Tom, I know you've been with the company for a while, but raises here are based on merit, not on length of employment. Now, you do your job adequately, but you don't do it well enough to deserve a raise at this time. I've told you before, to earn a raise you need to take more initiative and show more enthusiasm for the job. Uh, for instance, maybe find a way to make the office run more efficiently.

Tom: All right. Maybe I could show a little more enthusiasm. I still think that I work hard here. But a company does have at least an obligation to pay its employees enough to live on. And the salary I'm getting here isn't enough. I can barely cover my expenses.

Mr. Clinton: Tom, again , I pay people what they're worth to the company, not what they think they

need to live on comfortably. If you did that the company would go out of business.

Tom: Yes, but I have .I have been here for five years and I have been very loyal. And it's absolutely necessary for me to have a raise or I cannot justify keeping this job any more.

Mr. Clinton: Well, that's a decision you'll have to make for yourself, Tom.

What's Tom's purpose of speaking to Mr. Clinton？

A．Asking for housing.

B．Asking for a promotion.

C．Asking for a raise.

D．Asking for some help for work.
