Happiness means different things to different people. For Mary, who has {#blank#}1{#/blank#} severe sleeping problem, happiness is as simple as having a good night's sleep.

    Bed was once a place {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Mary went to rest after a long, hard day. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, she has not had a full night's sleep in almost six months. Her doctor said that {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (count) sheep might help her fall asleep. She tried this, but soon got tired of it after it failed to work. She finds the nights without sleep almost {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (bear) . She is always sleepy and lacks energy during the day.

    Mary is not alone. Studies show that more than one in three people worldwide struggle with getting enough sleep. It often takes on different {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (form) : some people can get to sleep, but wake up much too early; some get a full night's sleep, but are {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (disappoint)  to find that they still feel tired when they wake up; others, like Mary, find {#blank#}8{#/blank#} difficult to fall asleep in the first place.

    Specialists say that people should not worry too much about this problem. In most cases , a lack of sleep {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (cause) by anxiety and pressure. It is important to keep yourself {#blank#}10{#/blank#} good spirits and to be positive. 

    Club sports — for those just like sports

    Many colleges have established many club sports, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to meet a special interest or fill a gap {#blank#}2{#/blank#} an intercollegiate(校际的) team is not available. Some of sports, like fencing, crew and rugby, are sometimes {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (compete) for club members. They are often played with other colleges and sometimes with community groups. These clubs give you the opportunity {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(play) a sport you love or learn a sport that is new to you. The one drawback(缺点) to club sports is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} colleges often don't fund(提供资金) them. In these cases, club members have to work hard to organize fund-raisers and collect money to keep their sports {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(go).

    Club sports are less time-consuming {#blank#}7{#/blank#} other athletic items, and you can easily miss a practice or even a competition if your academic or work commitments are {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(particular) demanding at a certain point. You can also leave a club sport if you find it just isn't working out. However, it's {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (worthy) it to stick with a club sport for a while.

    Most colleges have a full range of teams, so you can attend sports competitions year-round. At bigger schools, larger sports, like football and basketball, may attract fans from all over the area. {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(small) sports, however, will also attract a group of fans.

    If you only got six hours' shut eye last night, there is no need {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (lose) sleep over it.

    Scientists say that though it is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (wide) believed that we need eight hours of sleep a night, six to seven hours is the natural amount.

    Advising short-sleepers to rest easy, the US researchers say, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (have) important implications (暗示，含义) for the idea that we need to take sleeping pills because sleep has been reduced from {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (it) natural level by the widespread use of electricity, TV, the Internet and so on.

    The lead author of a study, Ghandi, said: "There's the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (expect) that we should all be sleeping for eight or nine hours a night, and if we took away modern technology, we would be sleeping more. But now, for the first time, we are showing that's not {#blank#}6{#/blank#} truth."

    Most of those {#blank#}7{#/blank#} were studied slept for less than seven hours a night, with the average amount just six hours and 25 minutes. This is much less than the eight hours often {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (recommend) in western societies.

    Despite this, the people studied were in good health, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} lower rates of obesity (肥胖症), better blood pressure and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (healthy) hearts than people in industrialised societies. They were also fitter.

    Beijing Opera roles require performers to paint{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(they) faces in patterns and colours to represent different character types and{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(quality).

    In Beijing Opera, facial painting can be quite complex. However, in the{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(begin), only three colours were used-red, white, and black. Now, many other colours, such{#blank#}4{#/blank#}yellow, purple, blue and green, are used for facial painting.

Red is a colour for brave and loyal characters. Guan Yu, a general from the Three Kingdoms Period (AD 220-280), is a good example of this kind of character. He is famous{#blank#}5{#/blank#}being very loyal to his emperor, Liu Bei.

    White highlights all{#blank#}6{#/blank#}is bad in human nature. It{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(suggest) dishonesty and betrayal(背叛). One of the typical white-faced characters is Cao Cao, a{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(power) and cruel prime minister from the Three Kingdoms Period.

    Black face paint is{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(usual) used for someone who is fierce and violent. One typical example is General Zhang Fei from the classic novel, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

    All these different colours are used in Beijing Opera facial painting {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(provide) a clear picture of each character.

    Without proper planning, tourism can cause {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (problem). For example, too many tourists can flow into public places {#blank#}2{#/blank#} are also enjoyed by the natives of a country. If tourism create too much traffic, the local people will become {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (happy). They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (impolite). They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} is important to think about the people of a destination (目的地) country and how tourism influences {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (they). Tourism should help {#blank#}7{#/blank#} country keep its customs and its beauty should attract tourists. Besides, tourism should also increase the wealth and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(happy) of the locals.

    Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (grow) too quickly, people must leave other jobs {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(work) in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer. On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Business can also lose money.
