    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. 

By the time Jill got to a little town, every hotel room {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（take）. “You've got to give me a room somewhere,” he said to the manager at the hotel, “{#blank#}2{#/blank#}just a bed — I don't care where.”

    “Well, I do have a double room with one guest,”{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (admit) the manager, “and he might be glad to split（分担）the cost. But to tell you {#blank#}4{#/blank#}truth, he snores {#blank#}5{#/blank#}loudly that people in the next room have complained {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(late). I'm not sure if it would be worth it to you.”

    “No problem.” Jill assured him, “I'll take {#blank#}7{#/blank#}”

The next morning Jill came down to breakfast bright-eyed.

    “How did you sleep” asked the manager.

    “Never better.”

    The manager was impressed. “No problem with the other guy snoring, then?”

    “No, I shut him up{#blank#}8{#/blank#}no time,” said Jill.

    “How did you manage that?” asked the manager. “Did you give him some medicine to stop the snoring?”

    “No, I didn't. But here is {#blank#}9{#/blank#}I did. He was already in bed when I went into the room,” Jill explained. “I went over, gave him a kiss on the forehead, and said, ‘Good night, beautiful,' and he sat up all night {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(watch) me.”

We cannot control {#blank#}8{#/blank#} happens to us in many cases,{#blank#}9{#/blank#}we can control how we react to them.
