Do you feel a little sleepy after lunch? Well, that"s normal. Your body naturally slows down then. What
should you do about it? Don"t reach for a coffee! Instead, take a nap.
There are many benefits (好处) of a daily nap. First of all, you are more efficient (有效率) after napping.
You remember things better and make fewer mistakes. Also, you can learn things more easily after taking a
nap. A 20-minute nap can reduce information overload. It can also reduce stress. Finally, a nap may increase
your self-confidence and make you more alert (灵活). It may even cheer you up.
But, there are some simple rules you should follow about taking a nap. First, take a nap in the middle of
the day, about eight hours after you wake up. Otherwise, you may disturb your sleep-wake pattern. Next, a
20-minute nap is best. If you sleep longer, you may fall into a deep sleep. After waking from a deep sleep,
you will feel worse. Also, you should set an alarm clock. That way, you can fully relax during your nap.
You won"t have to keep looking at the clock so that you don"t oversleep.
Now, the next time you feel sleepy after lunch, don"t get stressed. Put your head down, close your eyes,
and have forty winks.

Nowadays more and more people in the world are getting fatter, which troubles them a lot. In the past 25 years, the number of the people with obesity (肥胖症) in Europe has doubled. Experts say that it has a lot to do with our eating habits. Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. Most of us like eating sweets and ice cream better than meat and rice. Sweets and ice cream are not bad for us if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite (食欲). It"s important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel worried or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England, some judges often decided whether a man was tell-ing the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow (呑) the bread, it meant that he wasn"t telling the truth. A man who is worrying something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry, because he loses his appetite. | |
