The table above shows the sleeping patterns (模式) of people doing {#blank#}1{#/blank#} jobs. It is clear that there are big differences among them. For example, students continuously (连续地) sleep for {#blank#}2{#/blank#}each night because they go to school during the day. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} are busy and stressed out, so they only sleep for 6 hours. But they also sleep continuously during the night. Truck drivers sleep 6 hours and doctors sleep the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} hours among the five. However, because of their jobs, they have to divide their bedtime into different periods. Finally, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} mothers sleep when their babies do. They often have to wake up during the night to comfort (安抚) their babies. It is important to consider sleeping patterns when choosing a job.

    Liu Tuchi, an 87­year­old man, has given away thousands of books to kids in five villages in Southwest China and built some reading rooms in the past 13 years by collecting and selling rubbish.

    "After selling the rubbish, I go to bookstores to search for good books," Liu said. When he has enough books, he sends them to the kids in the villages.

    Liu was an officer in Sichuan Province before retiring (退休) in 1993. "I passed by a primary school in Qilong Village in 2005 and was shocked by the poor conditions," he said. With old classrooms and broken desks, the students hardly had any books. So Liu took out more than 5, 000 yuan and raised more than 8, 000 yuan from his family and friends to give away books to the school. Since then, he has kept on giving away books to rural (农村的) kids.

    Liu's work has opened his new lifestyle (生活方式). He collects and sells waste, such as bottles and old newspapers. In 2008, Liu started building reading rooms. So far he has built more than 15 reading rooms. Liu always says, "Children in rural areas should not be left behind, especially in education."

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}Dear Editor,

    I am interested in talking with other TEFL teachers and researchers about professional development. I would like to share ideas with those teachers from English-speaking countries throughout the world. My hobbies are reading, listening to music and watching birds. Since I live in a rather isolated area, I would appreciate any spare copies if text books, teaching materials or journals that other teachers would be able to send me. .

    Mind maps are a great way of showing a picture of information. They work very well in all kinds of learning. Here is an example to show us how to draw a mind map.

    To make the mind map even better, use color to show important ideas or parts of the map.

    Whether it's one day off or a week, you don't need to be among people to have a great time. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} You can spend your holiday on your own doing something you have no time to do in your everyday life.

    Eat your favorite foods. They can bring you much pleasure for sure. You can make a healthy meal at home. Cook something you love but usually don't have time to make. Instead of having meals at home, you can also go to a local restaurant for something special. Eat it there, or bring it home. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    Stay away from technology. You may have a chance to find the real beauty of life. Maybe you can't help playing with your smartphones all day while you are on holiday alone. Why not create more time to go hiking, fly kites or do some other outdoor activities? {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} You can go shopping, see a film, or take a class. Take your time to search for something even small that you want. Going to see a movie or a show alone can be a fun experience. Use your holiday as a chance to try something new like dancing or painting.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Leave your worries behind and try to be a master of your own, but remember that nothing is more important than safety.
