阅读理解

Have you ever experienced the feeling of falling as you start to fall asleep? Sometimes you may come to realize this feeling. If so, don't worry. Many people have felt the same thing.

In fact, these muscle twitches (肌肉抽搐) in the arms, legs or other parts of the body are called hypnic jerks (入睡抽动) or sleep starts. And they are very common. Up to 70 percent of people experience them sometimes, Huffington Post reported. But what causes it?

There are some theories(理论). Some scientists believe that the feeling of falling comes from the body relaxing itself, especially if the person is anxious or unable to get comfortable. As you're about to sleep, your muscles become relaxed. But your brain stays awake. It misunderstands the relaxing of your muscles as a sign that you're falling. Then the brain jerks the body awake as if it's trying to protect you.

    Other scientists believe that different phases of sleep might cause the hypnic jerks. When we sleep, we experience two phases: non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM). During REM, our heart rate (心率), breathing and nervous system can act irregularly (不规律地). If the body experiences flashes (一瞬间) of REM while entering sleep, these irregularities could cause twitches.

If you don't want to experience hypnic jerks, scientists have some suggestions. When you become deeply relaxed, you can learn how to reconnect slowly by moving your fingers and toes a little bit. Then start to move your head and open your eyes, while being aware of yourself as you get out of the relaxed state.

    But experts agree that hypnic jerks, though sometimes scary, are harmless. If it wakes you up, simply roll over and go back to sleep. But keep in mind: a caffeinated (含咖啡因的) drink, exciting evening activities or stress may make hypnic jerks happen more often.

As one of the world's favorite drinks, tea has become more and more popular. Chinese tea art with its custom was included in intangible cultural heritage lists by UNESCO (联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗 产名录)in 2022. 

China is the1 of tea and tea has a long history. It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong was 2 first person to discover tea as a drink. When a leaf dropped into 3 , the taste of the water was changed, and so tea was born. From that moment on, the Chinese began 4 the soul (灵魂) of this special leaf. 

It's known that tea culture gradually 5 normal people's life in the Tang Dynasty. The people in the Tang Dynasty not only drank tea,6 ate the tea leaves. That was why the process of tasting tea was 7 "tea eating". However, the Song people preferred "whisking tea"(点茶) . In the Ming Dynasty, tasting tea gradually went back 8 its true nature of "drinking tea. Later, the tea culture of 9 country finally was blended (融入) into normal families. 

Nowadays, making tea around a stove (炉子) is a special way of drinking tea. It 10 already brought a wave of new lifestyle in China 

Tea culture is a kind of sublimation (升华) of tea. In the long river of historical culture, tea combines the characters of the time, the nationality and unity.

THE PLANT WORLD

There are more than 400,000 kinds of plants on Earth. Some plants are as big as tall buildings; others are as small as rice. Plants are key parts of the food circle. They play an important part in the nature because they give out oxygen — the gas that all animals need for breathing.

What is a plant?

Most people have no difficulty finding the differences between an animal and a plant. That is because animals can move around, but plants can't. What makes a plant a plant? Like animals, plants are living things that are made up of lots of cells (细胞). Unlike animals, plants make their own food by photosynthesis (光合作用). Most plants have roots, stems, and leaves, and most plants reproduce by growing flowers and making seeds. All plants need energy to stay alive and grow, and they get it from sunlight instead of food.

How does a plant grow?

Most animals grow in a certain way, and genes control their growth. That is to say, even when they are small, it's easy to know what they will look like after they grow up. Plants are different. Their growth is controlled by genes too, but their final shape also depends on where they live. For example, a tree can be big and round if it grows up in an open space, but much taller and thinner if it grows in the woods with other trees all around. Plants are unable to move from one environment to another, so it is important that they are able to get used to the environment.
