    World sleep day falls on March 16. This year's theme is about sleep and women.

More women suffer from insomnia (失眠) than men, but only 4% of them go to a doctor to get help. A Beijing newspaper {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (report) last month. A study by {#blank#}2{#/blank#} international organization in the paper said that women {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (age) 30 to 60 sleep six hours and 41 minutes a day {#blank#}4{#/blank#} average.

    Young people have also suffered from a lack of sleep. Statistics from a Chinese medical research center show that in {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (city) like Beijing and Shanghai, 40% of young people suffer from insomnia. And 80% suffer from great tiredness due to poor quality sleep.

    Experts blame heavy {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (press) and competition at work for poor {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (sleep) habits. The long term effects can be unhappiness, anxiety and depression, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} in turn lead to chronic illnesses (慢性病), {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (especial) in women.

    There are, however, a couple of tricks for getting a good sleep, such as maintaining an optimistic attitude, keeping a regular, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (day) routine or finding some time for sports. Also, you can develop healthy habits such as keeping the bathroom clean and avoiding tea, coffee or wine before sleeping.

    It's not often {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (sun) in Paris, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} people still love to walk along the banks of the Seine (塞纳河畔). They love the view of the city's old buildings, especially Notre Dame Cathedral (巴黎圣母院) and the world-famous Eiffel Tower, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} have become the Iconic (象征性的) symbol of Paris for hundreds of years.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (fortunate), that view has been forever changed. On April 16, 2019, a fire {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (destroy) the spire of the 850-year-old cathedral, and two-thirds of the roof. The fire shocked Parisians. Citizens gathered around the giant church, singing hymns (圣诗) and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (pray) for the hundreds of firefighters who fought the flames.

    The church is not only a historical treasure, but also home to many religious {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (sculpture). Despite {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (it) long history and many treasures, at first the cathedral needed the help of a writer {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (become) world-famous. It is Victor Hugo's novel, the Hunchback of Notre Dame {#blank#}10{#/blank#} reminds people to protect the beautiful old buildings. We hope the historical building can be reconstructed soon.

Are you on{#blank#}1{#/blank#} diet? Then maybe you should consider{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(sit) by the window the next time you eat out. A new book claims that{#blank#}3{#/blank#}you sit in a restaurant can affect how much you consume.

A new research found that people sitting farthest from the front door ate the fewest salads and were 73 percent{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(likely) to order dessert.

The diners{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(seat) at a dark table ate heavier food and ordered more of it, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}those sitting at bright bar tables ordered more salads and fewer desserts.

According to the researchers, the darker it is, the more invisible you {#blank#}7{#/blank#}feel, the less easy it is to see how much you're eating and the less guilty you are when you eat more.

In contrast, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(expose) yourself to the sunlight, people or trees outside might make you more aware {#blank#}9{#/blank#} you look, might make you think about walking or might make you want a green salad.

The researchers also noted that slim diners chewed around 15 times per mouthful, three chews more than heavier diners. By eating more slowly, the diner consumes less in the time{#blank#}10{#/blank#} takes for the brain to register satisfaction.
