Marry of us wake up feeling{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(tire) in the morning. Many of us ignore the problem as the day goes on,{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (forget) that it might have a{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(danger) effect. Society even glorifies “burning the candle at both ends” as{#blank#}4{#/blank#}sign of our devotion to work and family.

    Believe it{#blank#}5{#/blank#}not, all this bad sleep has far-reaching consequences. We just do not give ourselves enough chances to sleep. A survey of over 74,000 people found 35 percent reported sleeping less than seven hours daily{#blank#}6{#/blank#}average. Furthermore, the amount of sleep{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(change) greatly over the past 15 years.

    This lack of sleep can lead of many serious{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(problem). One study found that{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(simple) limiting yourself to six hours of sleep a night for two weeks had similar effects to staying up all night the night before,{#blank#}10{#/blank#}could make you perform poorly on a timed attention task.

    A positive attitude is very important as it will make our life easier. In life, not everything goes as {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(smooth) as we want. There will be times when we will face problems and difficulties. The most {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(challenge) part is {#blank#}3{#/blank#}we react when we experience problems and difficulties.

    Instead of being discouraged, those who have a positive attitude {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (treat) each failure as a lesson. And they will be inspired to achieve the goal.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}those who do not have the positive attitude will see problems and difficulties {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a different way. With different attitudes, the result will be quite different. Since every one of us {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (possess) the same amount of time, why don't we just make the best {#blank#}8{#/blank#}the same amount of time with a positive attitude? Life itself is already hard. It will be much {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(good) if we have a positive attitude which will make our life happier and easier.

    If you learn to see the bright side of life when you {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(surround) by difficulties, you'll be building your positive attitude fast.

    Jane was walking round the department store. She remembered how difficult{#blank#}1{#/blank#}was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father. She wished that this year she could{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(easy) buy a special one {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(please) him, just like her mother, who was always delighted to receive her gift.

    Besides, shopping at this time of the year was not {#blank#}4{#/blank#}pleasant experience: people stepped on your feet or {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(push) you with their elbows (肘部)，hurrying ahead to get to a bargain.

    Jane paused in front of a counter {#blank#}6{#/blank#}some attractive ties were on display. “They are real silk,” the assistant tried to attract her.“ Worth double the price. ” But Jane knew from past experience that her {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(choose) of ties hardly ever pleased her father.

    Jane stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered. She found some good quality pipes on sale. She did not hesitate for long: although her father smoked a pipe only once in a while, she knew that this was a present which was bound to please {#blank#}8{#/blank#}.

    When Jane got home, with her small but well-chosen present in her bag, her parents were already {#blank#}9{#/blank#}table having supper. Her mother was excited. “Your father has at last decided to stop smoking,” Jane {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(inform).

    A hotel chain is employing human bed warmers to help guests get a good night's sleep. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (dress) in special all-in-one sleeping suits, the walking electric blankets are sent to warm the beds of guests staying at the Holiday Inn {#blank#}2{#/blank#} they get under the covers.

    Dr Chris Idzikowski, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (direct) of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre, said the idea could help people get off to sleep. He {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (explain) that "There's plenty of scientific evidence to show that sleep starts at the beginning of the night {#blank#}5{#/blank#} body temperature starts to drop. The drop occurs partly because the blood vessels (血管) {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the hands, face and feet open up and release heat." "A warm bed –approximately 20 to 24 degrees Celsuis –is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} good way to start this process while a cold bed isn't. It helps people sleep well especially as it's taking much {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (long) for them to warm up when they come in from the snow."

    Dr Chris Idzikowski and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (he) colleague Jane Bednall said the idea was like "having a giant hot water bottle in your bed". The five-minute free bed warming sessions will be tried out in London and Manchester {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the end of next month.
